STAFF REPORT DATE: 6/18/2018 REGULAR ITEM #:4a MOTION TO: Planning Commission FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Map Amendment, Preliminary and Final Plat, Bus Terminal Ordinance Zoning Text Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit REVIEWED BY: Ben Gozola, Consultant Planner Soren Mattick, Campbell Knutson BACKGROUND: The City has received a set of applications from Stillwater Area Public Schools (Kristen Hoheisel) and Terry Emerson requesting consideration of the following four (4) items: 1) A Zoning Map Amendment to re-zone a portion of the subject property to Business Park; 2)Preliminary and Final Plats to subdivide the property located at 11530 Hudson Boulevard North; 3)A Zoning Text Amendment to allow "bus terminal" as a conditionally permitted principal use within the Business Park Zoning District; and 4) A Conditional Use Permit to operate a school district transportation center on the subject property. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: The Planning Commission is being asked to hold a public hearing and make recommendation on each of the four requests beginning with the broadest issue (zoning district change) and working towards the most specific (approval of a CUP to allow operation of a bus terminal). As all four of the applications are generally linked, denial of any individual request may impact the commission's recommendation(s) on subsequent requests. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Applicants: Stillwater Area Public Schools (Kristen Hoheisel), 1875 Greeley Street South, Stillwater, MN 55082 (Zoning Map Amendment, Zoning Text Amendment, Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 2 and Conditional Use Permit) and Terry Emerson, 2204 Legion Ln Cir N, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 (Preliminary and Final Plat) Property Owners: EN Properties, LLC (Terry Emerson), 11530 Hudson Boulevard North, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 Location: 11530 Hudson Boulevard North (PID# 36.029.21.43.0001) Request: Zoning Text Amendment, Preliminary and Final Plat, Zoning Map Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit. Existing Land Use: Trucking Terminal – sales, repairs, and service of diesel trucks Existing Zoning: RT - Rural Development Transitional Surrounding Land Use / Zoning: South – I-94 and Woodbury; West – Outdoor Storage (RT – Rural Development Transitional); East – Vacant land (RT – Rural Development Transitional); North – Vacant land (RT – Rural Development Transitional) Comprehensive Plan Guidance: BP – Business Park Deadline(s) for Action: Application Complete – 5/4/2018 60 Day Deadline – 7/3/2018 Extension Letter Mailed – No 120 Day Deadline – N/A Applicable Regulations: Chapter 153 – Subdivision Regulations §154.210 – Off-Street Parking Article XIV: Commercial Districts §154.258: Landscape Requirements ZONING MAP AMENDMENT The applicant is seeking approval to rezone a portion of the subject property (11 acres of approximately 63.73 total acres) from RT (Rural Development Transitional) to BP (Business Park). The RT designation provides landowners with interim use options as they wait for the availability of sewer, and/or until such time as a landowner requests a zoning change to a new district consistent with the future guided land use. In this case, the land in question is guided for Business Park both within the current 2030 Comprehensive Plan and within the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, staff does find it would be appropriate to approve the requested rezoning if that is the desire of the landowner. Note that if the rezoning is Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 3 ultimately approved but subsequent applications are denied, the applicant will be consulted as to whether this change should still occur, or whether the zoning change application will be withdrawn. PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT Purpose. The preliminary and final plat portion of this application package assumes the City approves the requested zoning map amendment to BP. If the rezoning failed, this application fails due to the inability to meet minimum RT zoning standards. If the rezoning was approved, the following analysis will apply: Minimum Lot Size Requirements. The following table outlines how the lot dimension and setback requirements of the Business Park zoning district are met by the requested lot layout. Lot Dimension Requirements, Business Park District Standard Required Proposed Minimum Lot Area 2 acres 11 acres Minimum Lot Width 200 feet 670 feet Minimum Lot Depth - 715feet Parkland Dedication. The City requires $4500 per acre for commercial subdivisions. The proposed subdivision will create one new lot of 11 acres. Therefore, it is recommended that a condition of approval require the applicant to pay $49,500 ($4500 X 11 acres) in park dedication fees for this development should the plan move forward. As staff did not identify any ways in which the proposed lot layout would be deficient to minimum zoning standards, we are recommending the requests can be approved. Note that if the Preliminary and Final plats are ultimately approved but subsequent applications are denied, the applicant will be consulted as to whether this application should still move forward, or whether it will be withdrawn. City Engineer Review. Stormwater Management •State and Valley Branch Watershed District permit will be required. •The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, VBWD and City rules and regulations. No proposed storm water management plan was provided as part of the Plan submittal. •The storm water facilities constructed for this development should remain privately owned and maintained. The applicant will be required to execute and record a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in the City’s standard form of agreement. •Even as privately owned and maintain facilities, maintenance access roads meeting the City engineering design standards must be provided for all storm water facilities. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 4 •The storm water facility 100‐year HWL must be fully contained within the subject property or easements must be acquired to protect the 100‐year HWL flood area. The proposed plans show the 100‐year HWL event discharging off‐site at the southeast corner. Streets and Transportation •A traffic study should be required as a condition of approval to determine the timing and extent of improvements required for the CSAH 15 and Hudson Boulevard intersection realignment and traffic signal improvements. A financial contribution to CSAH 15/Hudson Boulevard traffic signal/realignment should be considered. In addition, the study is needed to determine if an eastbound left turn lane along Hudson Boulevard is also needed at the site access. •No additional right-of-way dedication is required unless an eastbound turn lane is required as determined by the traffic study. A 10-foot utility corridor easement for small utilities must be dedicated ot the City along the north boulevard of Hudson Boulevard. •Hudson Boulevard must be improved per the City design standards to an urban section on the north side of the street including a westbound right turn lane to the site, a 4-foot shoulder (curb section), a 9-foot boulevard, and 10-foot shared use bituminous trail with 2-foot clear zone. •Municipal Sanitary Sewer •Because the property is guided in the City’s Comprehensive Plan for 2020-2030 Regional Sewer Staging Plan and would discharge to the MCES Cottage Grove Ravine Interceptor, provisions for connecting to the municipal sanitary sewer service must be included with this application. The site plans/application indicates a new sewer service line connecting to future sanitary sewer but does not address the extension of sewer to the site. •The applicant will be responsible to connect to the City sanitary sewer system and extend sanitary sewer into the property at applicant’s sole cost and must stub sewer to adjacent parcels. •Sanitary sewer is available along Hudson Boulevard near the MCES Meter Station. The sanitary sewer trunk size will need to be determined based on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. •Sanitary sewer capacity demands including the number of residential equivalency units (RECs) based on the Met Council SAC determination policty should be provided and account for all land uses and connections to the sewer system including bus wash wastewater. •Existing sanitary sewer utility easements along Hudson Boulevard and the new commercial street corridor must be shown on the plans and plans must be made to avoid encroachments/conflicts with these easements. •Any main sewer lines placed within the development will require minimum 30‐foot easements centered over the pipe (or wider dependent upon the sewer depths) dedicated to the City and in the form of the •City’s Utility Easement Agreement. Municipal Water Supply •Because the property is located in the MUSA, provisions for connecting to the municipal water supply must be included. •The applicant will be responsible for extending municipal water to the property at the applicant’s cost, and watermain stubs will be required to eastern property limits. Water is available to be extended to the property from the Hunter’s Crossing development but will require easements across adjacent properties. The watermain extension to the site will likely be a 12-inch trunk watermain. •The applicant shall provide water capacity demands including average day use, peak day use, and fire suppression demands. All demands should be included, including potable drinking water, bus Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 5 washing operations, etc. in order to evaluate eater improvements needed to support the development and to determine the water availability charges. •The proposed site is in the water system’s low pressure zone which has limited capacity until a new water tower is constructed to serve the area. •Hydrants will be required to be placed at the direction of the Fire Department, and all fire hydrants shall be owned and maintained by the City. Recommended Findings. 1.That the Four Corners preliminary and final plat is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area. 2.That the Four Corners preliminary and final plat complies with the minimum lot frontage and area requirements of the City’s BP – Business Park zoning district. 3.That the Four Corners preliminary and final plat complies with the City’s subdivision ordinance. 4.That the Four Corners preliminary and final plat meets other City zoning ordinances, such as landscaping, erosion and sediment control, and other ordinances, provided comments outlined in the City Engineer Review Memo dated May 30, 2018 are met; or as may be amended due to changes in the site plan or proposed use. 5.That the Four Corners preliminary and final plat is consistent with the City’s engineering standards provided final plans are updated to address the City Engineer’s comments documented in a letter dated May 30, 2018; or as may be amended due to changes in the site plan or proposed use. 6. The land being subdivided is legally described as: S1/2-SE1/4 EXC WEST 2 RODS EXC TO HWY EXC HWY PARCEL 44 MN DOT R/W PLAT #82-35 SECTION 36 TOWNSHIP 029 RANGE 021 7.That the Four Corners preliminary and final plat will create one new lot of 11 acres to be legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Four Corners; and three outlots: A (46.64acres), B (5.01 acres), and C (1.08 acres). Recommended Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to any approval of the Four Corners Preliminary and Final plats: 1) The property shall be rezoned to BP – Business Park. 2)The applicant shall pay a fee in lieu of parkland dedication in the amount of $4500 per acre of the newly created lot (11 acres X $4500 = $49,500 total) prior to any formal City authorization. 3) Prior to the execution of the Final Plat by City officials, the Developer shall enter into a Developer’s Agreement acceptable to the City Attorney and approved by the City Council Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 6 that delineates who is responsible for the design, construction, landscaping, and payment of the required improvements for the Four Corners Final Plat with financial guarantees therefore. 4)Final grading, drainage and erosion control, sanitary sewer and stormwater management, street and utility construction plans shall be submitted, reviewed and approved by the City Engineer, meeting City Engineering Design Standards, prior to the recording of the Final Plat.

Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 7 12)Hydrants will be required to be placed at the direction of the Fire Department, and all fire hydrants shall be owned and maintained by the City. 13) All easements as requested by the City Engineer and Public Works Department shall be documented on the Final Plat prior to its execution by City Officials. ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT Purpose. The zoning text amendment being requested would allow "bus terminals" as a conditionally permitted principal use on properties zoned Business Park. If approved, the applicant would seek a conditional use permit to authorize a permanent bus terminal on the subject property. What’s currently in the Zoning Code Regarding Bus Terminals? •Definition of Local Transit 154.012.B.12. The Zoning Code defines bus terminals as local transit: o “Local Transit. Establishments primarily engaged in furnishing local and suburban passenger transportation, including taxicabs, passenger charter services, school buses, and terminals (including service facilities) for motor vehicle passenger transportation.” o Currently, local transit is not an allowed use within any of the zoning districts. •Parking Standards for Local Transit. The Zoning Code sets forth the following minimum o “2 spaces per 3 employees on the largest shift, based on maximum planned employment.” •Local Transit is currently not an allowed use within any Zoning District as indicated by the list of Permitted, Conditional, and Interim Uses within the Commercial Zoning Districts. Intent of Business Park Land Use/Zoning District within the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan states that “the Business Park land use category is intended to encourage the creation of significant employment centers that accommodate a diverse mix of office and light industrial uses and jobs. Specific desired attributes of this land use include a diversity of jobs, high development densities and jobs per acre, high quality site and building architectural design, and increased tax revenues for the community. Office, office showroom/warehousing, research and development services, light and high-tech electronic manufacturing and assembly, and medical laboratories are typical uses appropriate for this land use category. Some retail and service uses may be allowed as supporting uses for the primary office and light industrial uses of the employment center.” While this proposal does create a significant number of jobs per acre (200 jobs on about 11 acres of property), the jobs it is creating don’t really fit in to the category of types of jobs this land use category is intended to have (office and light industrial uses and jobs). Additionally, a bus terminal does not necessarily fit in to the category of "high quality site and building architectural design." It also does not fit in to any of Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 8 the described uses appropriate for this land category. Finally, it would not add to increased tax revenues for the community since it would be tax exempt. The Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan states that Business Park (BP) areas are to “…provide for a wide variety of professional businesses such as medical and research facilities, offices, and corporate headquarters. Uses specifically excluded from existing business park areas include warehousing, manufacturing, distribution, assembly and truck terminals. Retail sales of goods and services are allowable uses by conditional use permit provided such uses are goods and services for the employees of the permitted business use. This category excludes any residential use.” While truck terminals are not exactly the same as local transit in that truck terminals provide tax base, they are similar in assumed site layout and traffic, noise, etc. Trucking terminals are currently a conditional use within the BP – Business Park zoning district and have not been explicitly disallowed per the current Comprehensive Plan. The draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan will exclude such a use within the Business Park land use if the plan in its current draft form is ultimately adopted. The Zoning Code states the following about the BP Business Park/Light Manufacturing District: “The purpose of the BP District is to provide areas for attractive, high quality business park development primarily for office, high quality manufacturing and assembly, and non-retail uses in developments which provide a harmonious transition to residential development and neighborhoods by: 1) Conducting all business activities and essentially all storage inside buildings; 2) Consisting of high quality and attractive buildings which blend in with the environment; 3) providing open space, quality landscaping and berming; 4)including berming and buffering of parking, loading docks and other similar functions; and 5) protecting and enhancing the natural environment; and 6) providing users with an attractive working environment that is unique in the eastern metropolitan area with immediate access to I-94.” A bus terminal does not necessarily provide a harmonious transition to residential development and neighborhoods as most business and activities are conducted outside, not inside buildings. While there are limited peak traffic times, there is a significant amount of traffic at those peak times. There will be only one building which is existing and will not be remodeled. There is opportunity to provide berming and buffering on the site should this move forward. Recommendation. Due to guidance of the current 2030 and draft 2040 Comprehensive Plans as well as the Zoning Code, staff would not recommend that bus terminals be an allowed use (conditional nor permitted) within the Business Park Zoning District due to the following findings: 1.That the procedures for requesting a Zoning Text Amendment are found in the Lake Elmo Zoning Ordinance, Section 154.105. 2.That all the submission requirements of said Section 154.105 have been met by the Applicant. 3. That the proposed Zoning Text Amendment includes the following components: a.That local transit be a conditional use within the Business Park zoning district. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 9 4.The Current comprehensive plan calls for Business Park areas to become "significant employment centers," and bus terminals do not provide significant employment relative to acreage needed for the use; 5.Business Park areas are to include uses with "high quality site and building architectural design," and bus terminals will typically include neither quality by the nature of the use; 6.Business Park land is meant to generate increased tax revenues for the City, and public bus terminals are tax exempt; 7.The use is specifically excluded from Business Park areas in the draft comprehensive plan anticipated to move forward for approval by the end of 2018; 8. The Zoning Code calls for Business Park areas to provide a harmonious transition between the City's commercial areas and its residential areas, and a bus terminal with outdoor storage of busses is antithetical to that goal; 9.The Zoning Code calls for Business Park activities to occur inside of buildings, and bus terminals by their nature include outdoor use and storage of vehicles; 10.The applicant's request to make bus terminals a conditionally permitted use cannot overcome all of the listed problems in findings 4 through 10 via conditions (as proposed or otherwise). Possible Standards. It should be noted that motor freight and warehousing, which is defined as follows: “establishments engaged primarily in either the storage or shipment of goods and materials, including terminal facilities for handling freight, and maintenance facilities in which the trucks (including tractor trailer units) involved with the operation of the business are stored, parked and serviced. Materials within a warehouse or terminal facility may be combined, broken down, or aggregated for trans-shipment or storage purposes where the original material is not chemically or physically changed,” (this includes truck terminals) are a conditional use currently within the Business Park zoning district. A bus terminal is quite similar in use to that of a truck terminal, though the definitions in the Zoning Code differentiate the two. It is also recognized that the development of this property would prompt the extension of City services to this area. If the Planning Commission disagrees with staff and believes that bus terminals are an appropriate use within areas guided for Business Park, staff would recommend the City only adopt narrowly tailored language to preclude bus terminals from certain Business Park areas in order to limit the number of bus terminals allowed in the City and to minimize impact to adjacent properties. If the Planning Commission goes this route, staff would suggest the following standards accompany any such change: 1.The use shall be limited to a school district transportation center, owned by a public school district, serving as a bus terminal for buses and vans which transport passengers to and from schools or between school programs and community residences. o This provision would limit “local transit” to bus terminals and not allow, as per definition from the zoning code, taxicab terminals, passenger charter services, etc. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 10 2.The property on which the use is located must be located within one half mile of property owned and used by a public school district for an active school or school administration building. o The property on which the bus terminal is being proposed would be the only parcel on the east side of the City that is guided for Business Park and that is within one half mile of such school property. 3. Must be on a property of at least 10 acres in size or more. o There are parcels on the west side of the city that are zoned Business Park that are in within one half mile of school district land, but none of those parcels meet a ten acre minimum and therefore could not qualify for use as a bus terminal. 4.Must be sufficiently screened, as determined by the City, from adjacent properties through techniques such as berming and landscaping. o This condition would provide the City with authority to determine the level and location of screening needed to hopefully ensure an acceptable separation of uses. 5.Accessory uses to bus terminals may include an office and routine maintenance of operable school buses including but not limited to washing and fueling. o This condition would ensure the site is used as a hub for a bus operation, but would not become a major maintenance center for inoperable vehicles in the bus fleet. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Purpose. The conditional use permit application would seek to utilize the previous text amendment and allow a "bus terminal" on a portion of the subject property. Failure of the previous application(s) to be approved will likely preclude approval of this application. Future planned bus terminal area Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 11 Existing Conditions. The applicant is planning to re-locate the existing bus terminal on the property that was previously operating as Rihm Kenworth at 11530 Hudson Boulevard N in Lake Elmo, MN (see below). Current Interim Use Permit. The property currently operates under an interim use permit which was granted by Resolution No. 2014-095, which allows a bus/truck terminal. This interim use permit will expire on December 2, 2019, and may be renewed with approval by Council. It will terminate when any portion of the property is rezoned or when public sanitary sewer is provided on site. The consent agreement states that the remaining portion of the property must be used for agricultural purposes and that the interim use shall terminate upon any redevelopment of the property for a permitted or conditional use. There has been discussion of the eastern portion of this property developing, being provided sanitary sewer, and no longer being used for agricultural purposes. Therefore, the applicant does not want to operate under the current interim use permit. Current Building. The current building was constructed in the 1990’s and was used for office space by E&H Earthmovers and also provided bus storage for Stillwater Schools. It was then used by Kenworth Diesel Trucks for sales, repairs and service of diesel trucks. Current Bus Terminal Operation. The current bus terminal operates in Oak Park Heights within Stagecoach in the Old Junker Landfill. Proposed Operation and Jobs Created. School buses for the Stillwater School District will be parked at this facility when not in use, and routine maintenance will be performed at this facility, including washing and fueling. The existing building will be used for office workers (dispatch, payroll, safety manager, etc.); a home base for drivers to check in and out, training, assignments, and mechanical work (repair and maintenance on buses). Approximately 200 people would work at the facility, with morning and afternoon shifts of drivers and attendants. Hours of operation would be from about 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the weekdays with occasional Saturday use for limited special school district transportation needs. There would be parking provided for school buses (140 spaces), transportation vans (approximately 20), and employees’ personal vehicles (approximately 200). Why this Location? The location is adjacent to major traffic corridors and routes within this area of the City of Lake Elmo. The School District has proposed this location as opposed to a location located adjacent to lower volume roads so as to create less impact. Peak bus traffic times will be limited to morning hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) and afternoon (2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.). Setback and Impervious Surface Requirements. The following table outlines how the proposed use adheres to the setback and impervious surface requirements of the Business Park Zoning District. All of the proposed requirements are met. The property to the north is guided for Business Park in both the current (2030) and proposed (2040) Comprehensive Plan Land Use Plan, and so the required setback from residential zones does not apply. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 12 Setback Requirements, Business Park District Standard Required Proposed Maximum Height 50 feet Less than 50 feet Maximum Impervious Coverage 75% 57% Front Yard Setback – Building 50 feet 120 feet from existing right-of-way line Interior Side Yard Setback – Building 30 feet 120 feet from west side and 470 feet from east side Corner Side Yard Setback – Building 30 feet N/A Rear Yard Setback - Building 30 feet Approximately 445 feet Residential Zones – Building 150 feet Approximately 445 feet Front Yard – Parking 30 feet Approximately 60 feet from existing right-of-way line Interior Side Yard – Parking 15 feet Approximately 45 feet from west side and approximately 130 feet from east side Corner Side Yard – Parking 30 feet N/A Rear Yard - Parking 15 feet Approximately 32 feet Minimum Building Floor Size 5,000 square feet 15,498 square feet General Site Design Considerations, Commercial Districts. The following outlines how the proposed development adheres to the City’s General Site Design considerations for the Business Park zoning district. Circulation. o Internal connections when feasible. The parcel to the west has an existing access owned by the parcel to the northwest, so it does not make sense to require this. Additionally, a bus garage would not need to access an adjacent development. o Curb cuts minimized. The proposed development will use an existing curb cut. Fencing and Screening. There is a proposed chain link fence, which will be consistent with what is currently on the property, enclosing the eastern portion of the parking lot. Lighting Design. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant submit a photometric plan that meets the requirements of Sections 150.035-150.038 of the City Code. Exterior Storage. Exterior materials storage must be screened from view from adjacent public streets and adjacent residential properties. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant provide sufficient berming and screening of the parking lot and that the fueling area and above ground storage tank also be sufficiently screened from adjacent properties and the public right-of-way. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 13 Parking Lot Requirements Surface and Drainage. It is required that in commercial districts, all areas intended to be utilized for parking spaces for five or more vehicles be paved with a durable surface including, but not limited to, hot asphalt, bituminous, or concrete. Additionally, industrial districts are required to be surfaced with materials suitable to control dust and drainage. The applicant has indicated that the existing paved and gravel parking area would remain and that the site would be expanded to provide additional gravel surfaced parking for school buses and employee cars. It is a recommended condition of approval that the parking area be paved as required by the Zoning Code. Marking of Parking Spaces. Parking areas containing five or more spaces are required to be marked with painted lines at least four inches wide. This is a recommended condition of approval. Curbing. Open off-street parking areas designed to have head-in parking along the property line shall provide a bumper curb or barrier of normal height. This is a recommended condition of approval. Accessible Parking. The proposed number of parking spaces is 365, of these, 199 are proposed to be car stalls. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires six accessible stalls with one van accessible stall with six accessible stalls. The proposed number of ADA stalls is six, though there does not appear to be a van accessible stall provided. Landscape Plans. The applicant has submitted landscape plans which include 62 Norway Spruces and 61 Colorado Blue Spruce. The existing berms would also remain. Some cursory comments on the landscape plan include the following: There is proposed 670 feet of street frontage on the property, requiring at least 14 trees be planted along Hudson Boulevard. There are no trees proposed to be planted along Hudson Boulevard. This requirement is not met. The applicant has not submitted a Tree Preservation Plan, as is required. It is a recommended condition of approval that this also be submitted and approved by the Landscape Architect. It is not known whether or not the requirement that a minimum of five trees be planted for every one acre of land developed or disturbed is met, as the applicant has not submitted a Tree Preservation Plan as indicated above. Parking Lot Screening Standards Interior Parking Lot Landscaping. It is not known whether or not the parking lot meets the interior parking lot landscaping requirements, as the applicant has not indicated what percentage of interior parking lot area is devoted to landscaping planting areas. At least 5% of the parking lot will need to be devoted to islands or corner planting beds and include shade trees in accordance with the table below. Provided the parking lot contains 365 spaces as currently proposed, a minimum of 25 trees will be required within these interior landscaped areas. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 14 Number of Parking Spaces Minimum Required Tree Planting 0-30 None required 31-100 1 tree per 10 spaces or fraction thereof 101+ 1 tree per 15 spaces or fraction thereof Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping. o Frontage Strip. A well-over 8-foot wide frontage strip is provided between parking areas and public street as required for parking lots with over 100 spaces. There is a berm that is already located along Hudson Blvd which screens the parking lot. Screening. Screening is required to provide visual and noise separation of intensive uses from less intensive uses. The property to the west is used as exterior storage, and it is unknown what the property to the east will be used as. It is recommended that the screening be provided from the property to the west and east that consists of either a masonry wall or fence in combination with landscape material that forms a screen at least six feet in height and at least 90% opaque on a year-round basis and include at least one deciduous or coniferous tree per 40 linear feet along the property line. Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards. The property is located within the I-94 district, and therefore must adhere to the Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards. As previously indicated, the applicant has proposed to use the existing building. The building generally adheres to Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and standards in that the building does not have a blank façade, the window and door styles reflect the prevailing architecture style of the structure, there is variety in building façade through a change in materials, high quality and durable materials are used in street facing facades, and the building is constructed of pre-cast concrete. Storage Tank. There is a provision in the Zoning Code that requires that the Council permit uses associated with the bulk storage of over 2,000 gallons of gasoline after finding that fire, explosion, or water or soil contamination hazards are not present that would be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare and that the Zoning Administrator require the development of diking around the tanks, suitably sealed to hold a leakage capacity equal to 115% of the tank capacity. The proposed fueling area contains an above ground storage tank that will store 8,000 gallons of gasoline. Staff has contacted the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), and the only requirement they have is for their Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) Program is that the applicant fill out an AST Notification of Installation or Change in Status Form informing the MPCA of when the tank has been “closed” from the former location and when it has been moved to the new location. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant fill out this form both times (when removing it from the former location and when installing it in the new location) as required by the MPCA. Bus Washing. The applicant has indicated on the application that the property use will include washing buses. The applicant has indicated that the buses will be washed at the facility’s wash bay and that waste water from the wash bay will run in to an oil separator with all of the shop drains, which will go in to a holding tank, which is then disposed of by a sewer transport service. The oil separator is then emptied and maintained by a licensed transporter. The applicant indicates that once the septic system is converted to the Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 15 municipal sewer system that the wastewater will go directly to the treatment plant after passing through the oil separator, and the oil separator will be emptied and maintained by a licensed transporter. The disposal of this water is addressed in the engineering comments. City Engineer Review. This can be referenced in the Preliminary and Final Plat section of this report. Fire Chief and Building Official Review. The biggest concern that was provided from the Fire Chief and Building Official is that the building is sprinklered yet not hooked up to City water. It is a recommended condition of approval that the property be serviced by City sewer and water prior to the operation of the bus terminal. Recommendation. Due to recommended denial of the zoning text amendment request due to its inconsistency with the Comprehensive Plan and recommended findings outlined below, which are required for a conditional use permit, staff would recommend that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the requested conditional use permit to operate a school district transportation center at a portion of the property located at 11530 Hudson Blvd N based on the following: 1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. With over 200 employees and a use that requires both employee trips in and out of the facility each day as well as two bus trips in and out of the facility each day, the use will generate a significant amount of traffic. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant obtain any necessary permits or approvals from the MPCA for the above-ground storage tank and bus washing. 2. The use or development conforms to the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. The property is guided for Business Park. While the proposal does create a significant number of jobs per acre, the parcel will be tax exempt, as it will be owned by the school district. It also does not fit in to the described uses appropriate for this land category. Finally, it does not propose high quality site and building architectural design. 3. The use or development is compatible with the existing neighborhood. The use is compatible with the existing neighborhood, as the existing use is a truck terminal, which is similar in use and design to a bus terminal. The surrounding parcels are mostly vacant and undeveloped. However, the surrounding area is planned for uses such as offices, showroom/warehousing, research and development, manufacturing and assembly, and medical laboratories, which are not compatible uses with a bus terminal. 4. The proposed use meets all specific development standards for such use listed in Article 7 of this Chapter. The proposal complies with the proposed development standards as recommended in the requested Zoning Text Amendment, but these have not yet been approved. It does not comply with many parking lot, screening, and landscape standards, which have been required as a recommended condition of approval. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 16 5. If the proposed use is in a flood plain management or shoreland area, the proposed use meets all the specific standards for such use listed in Chapter 150, §150.250 through 150.257 (Shoreland Regulations) and Chapter 152 (Flood Plain Management). The property is located outside the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. 6. The proposed use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so as to be compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of that area. While the proposed project is a redevelopment/repurposing of an existing site and will not significantly change the existing character of the area, there are no proposed improvements to the building. Operations are not within a building and so would not meet the intended character of the neighborhood. 7. The proposed use will not be hazardous or create a nuisance as defined under this Chapter to existing or future neighboring structures. The proposed development will be fenced and landscaped to help screen the use from neighboring properties. However, the proposed use will create a significant amount of traffic, at least at certain times of the day. 8. The proposed use will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems and schools or will be served adequately by such facilities and services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the proposed use. The property is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and therefore should be required to be provided by city sewer and water. Currently, the property is not provided with City sewer and water, and there are plans to connect. It is a recommended condition of approval that the property be connected to City sewer and water. Additionally, a traffic study should be required to determine timing and extent of improvements required for CSAH 15/Hudson Blvd traffic signal/realignment as well as to determine if an eastbound left turn lane along Hudson Blvd is also needed at the site access. The applicant has not submitted a stormwater management plan and will be required to do so, meeting all City, State, and Valley Branch Watershed District requirements. 9. The proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. The proposed use will pay sewer and water service charges and will facilitate in bringing sewer east of the parcel. 10. The proposed use will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare because of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. The proposed use will generate a significant number of trips per day, though this will be limited to certain times of the day. Minimal noise is expected to come from the site, except during heavy traffic times at specific times within the morning or afternoon. Planning Commission Meeting 6/18/2018 Business Item #4a Page 17 11. Vehicular approaches to the property, where present, will not create traffic congestion or interfere with traffic on surrounding public thoroughfares. Traffic congestion could be created from the significant number of trips to the site that would be needed, though a traffic study would be required to determine the exact impact. 12. The proposed use will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural or scenic feature of major importance. N/A Recommendation Findings for Approval. If the Planning Commission wishes to recommend approval, the following findings and conditions of approval are recommended: 1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. Bus traffic is not expected to be detrimental or dangerous, as trips and traffic will be limited to certain times of the day. It is a recommended condition of approval that there be significant berming to provide a sufficient screening of the parking lot. 2. The use or development conforms to the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. The property is guided for Business Park, in which local transit, which meets certain standards, is a conditional use. The use also provides a significant number of jobs per acre. 3. The use or development is compatible with the existing neighborhood. The use is compatible with the existing neighborhood, as the existing use is a truck terminal, which is similar in use and design to a bus terminal. The surrounding parcels are mostly vacant and undeveloped. 4. The proposed use meets all specific development standards for such use listed in Article 7 of this Chapter. The proposal complies with the proposed development standards as recommended in the requested Zoning Text Amendment, although it does not comply with many parking lot, screening, and landscape standards, which have been required as a recommended condition of approval. 5.

The proposed use for a School District Transportation Center. School buses for the District would be parked at this facility when not in use, along with performing routine maintenance of the buses at this location. As part of the servicing and maintenance of the buses, it is also planned to wash and fuel buses at this facility. Approximately 200 people would work at this facility, with morning and afternoon shifts of drivers and attendants, along with the vehicle maintenance and administrative staff This proposed use would be similar to the existing use of the property, in providing routine service of vehicles. Parking for the school buses (total of 140) transportation vans (about 20) and personal vehicles of the employees (about 200) would be provided on-site. This location is adjacent to major traffic corridors and routes within this area of the City of Lake Elmo and this would have less of an impact on traffic flow than would occur on lower volume roads or those through residential areas. Water and sanitary sewer infrastructure are also proposed to this area of the City as part of the adjacent development and re-alignment of Hudson Boulevard, eliminating the need for septic systems for treatment of wastewater from this facility. As the water for the facility is switched from the well to municipal water, the existing well would be abandoned in accordance with Minnesota Health Department requirements. City of Lake Elmo Narrative for Zoning Text Amendment April 30, 2018 The property being considered for re-development is currently being used for after-market parts and equipment sales, along with service of Kenworth Diesel Trucks. The proposed use is for local school buses to be parked along with routine maintenance at this location. This proposed use (local transit) is currently not listed in the zoning code as a permitted use in the Business Park Zoning District, but would be similar to the existing use of the property. In addition, this location is adjacent to major traffic corridors and routes, and this would limit bus traffic on lower volume roads and through residential areas. This proposed use would not be detrimental to the other permitted uses in the Business Park District. This use would be consistent with the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan for the Business Park District in providing a diverse mixed use, with a high density of jobs at this location. This facility will employee about 200 people, including the various shifts, positions and administrative staff. Water and sanitary sewer infrastructure are also proposed to this area of the City as part of the adjacent development and re-alignment of Hudson Boulevard, eliminating the need for septic systems for treatment of wastewater from this facility.

PID Number: 36 029 21 43 0001 Current building was constructed in the 1990’s and was used for office space by E& H Earthmovers and also provided bus storage for Stillwater Schools. The building was then used by Kenworth Diesel Trucks for sales, repairs and service of diesel trucks, and is currently being considered for bus parking and maintenance by Stillwater Schools again. The proposed use is for a School District Transportation Center. The existing building, paved and gravel parking area, along with the existing landscaped berms would remain as they are and the site would be expanded to provide additional gravel surfaced parking for school buses and employee cars. School buses for the District would be parked at this facility when not in use, along with performing routine maintenance of the buses at this location. As part of the servicing and maintenance of the buses, it is also planned to wash and fuel buses at this facility. Approximately 200 people would work at this facility, with morning and afternoon shifts of drivers and attendants, along with the vehicle maintenance and administrative staff. Hours of operation would be from about 6:00am to about 6:00pm during the weekdays with occasional Saturday use for limited special school district transportation needs. This proposed use would be similar to the existing use of the property, in providing routine service of vehicles. Parking for the school buses (total of 140) transportation vans (about 20) and personal vehicles of the employees (about 200) would be provided on-site. This location is adjacent to major traffic corridors and routes within this area of the City of Lake Elmo and this would have less of an impact on traffic flow than would occur on lower volume roads or those through residential areas. Being located along the Highway 94 corridor, the bus traffic would have a minimal impact on the already higher volumes of traffic in this area. In addition, the peak bus traffic times will be limited to the morning hours, from about 7:00am to 9:00am to get student to school, and from about 2:00pm to 4:00pm to get students back home from school. This proposed use would not be detrimental to the other permitted uses in the Business Park District. This use would be consistent with the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan for the Business Park District in providing a diverse mixed use, with a high density of jobs at this location. This facility will employee about 200 people, including the various shifts, positions and administrative staff. Water and sanitary sewer infrastructure are also proposed to this area of the City as part of the adjacent re-development and re-alignment of Hudson Boulevard, eliminating the need for septic systems for treatment of wastewater from this facility.

indicates a new sewer service line connecting to future sanitary sewer but does not address the extension  of sanitary sewer to the site.   The applicant will be responsible to connect to the City sanitary sewer system and extend sanitary sewer  into the property at applicant’s sole cost. In addition, the applicant will be required to stub sanitary sewer  mains to adjacent properties so that these parcels maintain sewer access. Sanitary sewer is available  along Hudson Blvd near the MCES Meter Station. The sanitary sewer trunk size will need to be determined  based on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.   The application should include a description of the sanitary sewer capacity demands including the number  of residential equivalent units (REC) based on the Met Council SAC determination policy. Demands must  account for all planned uses and connections to the sewer system including bus wash wastewater. This  information is required for staff evaluation of the sewer system improvements needed to support the  development and to determine the applicable sewer availability charges.   Existing Utility Easements. The existing sanitary sewer utility easements along Hudson Boulevard and the  new commercial street corridor must be shown with the preliminary plan submittal and plan revisions  must be made to avoid encroachments/conflicts with these easements.   Any main sewer lines placed within the development will require minimum 30‐foot easements centered  over the pipe (or wider dependent upon the sewer depths) dedicated to the City and in the form of the  City’s Utility Easement Agreement.     MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY   The  proposed  facility  resides  within  the  Planned  MUSA,  therefore  provisions  for  connecting  to  the  municipal water supply must be included with this application. The site plans/application indicate a new  water service line connecting to future water but does not address the extension of the municipal water  supply to the site.   The  applicant  will  be  responsible  to  extend  municipal  water  to the  property  at  the  applicant’s  cost.  Watermain stubs will be required to eastern property limits. Water is available to be extended to the  property from the Hunter’s Crossing development but will require easements across adjacent properties.  The watermain extension to the site will likely be a 12‐inch trunk watermain.     The application should include a description of the water capacity demands including average day use,  peak day use, and fire suppression demands. All demand should be provided including potable drinking      PAGE 3 of 3  water,  bus  washing  operations,  etc.  This  information  is  required  for  staff  evaluation  of  the  water  improvements needed to support the development and to determine the water availability charges.   The proposed site is in the water system’s low‐pressure zone which has limited capacity until a new water  tower is constructed to serve the area.   The applicant will be responsible to place hydrants throughout the property at the direction of the Fire  Department.  All fire hydrants shall be owned and maintained by the City.   Any  watermain  lines  and  hydrants  placed  within  the  development will  require  minimum  30‐foot  easements centered over the pipe. Easements must be dedicated to the City and be provided in the City’s  standard form of easement agreement.              PR O J E C T : 20 1 8 S T I L L W A T E R B U S F A C I L I T Y I M P R O V E M E N T S ST I L L W A T E R A R E A P U B L I C S C H O O L S 18 7 5 S

PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A STAFF REPORT DATE: 6/18/18 PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM: 4B – PUBLIC HEARING TO: Planning Commission FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director ITEM: 8990 Lake Jane Trail Variances REVIEWED BY: Joan Ziertman, Planning Program Assistant BACKGROUND: The City has received an application for variances from the following standards of the City Zoning Code: minimum lot size; minimum structure setback from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL); minimum septic setback from the OHWL; minimum septic area of 20,000 square feet; minimum front yard setback for the property located at 8990 Lake Jane Trail N. PID# 09.029.21.41.0001. Staff deemed the application complete and noticed for a public hearing. The applicant has requested additional time to address comments from the county in relation to the septic design, and so no action is needed at this time, and the item will be re-noticed for a public hearing in the future. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: No action is necessary at this time. The public hearing can be opened and closed if members of the public are in attendance to speak. ATTACHMENTS: None 1 STAFF REPORT DATE: 6/18/18 REGULAR ITEM #: TO: Planning Commission FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: Four Corners 2nd Addition General Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan REVIEWED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer BACKGROUND: The City has received a request from Terry Emerson for a General Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan for a 15.77 acre commercial development which includes a park and ride and commercial development in the southeast corner of 11530 Hudson Boulevard North. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: The Commission is being asked to hold a public hearing, review and make recommendation on the above- mentioned request. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: General Information.  Property Owner: Terry Emerson, 2204 Legion Lane Circle North, Lake Elmo, MN 55042  Location: North of I-94/Hudson Boulevard and West of Manning Avenue North, Southeast Corner of 11530 Hudson Boulevard North  Current Site Area: 70.21 acres  Land Use Guidance: The 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides the eastern portion of the site as Mixed-Use Commercial and Commercial, and the western portion is guided as Business Park.  Current Zoning: Rural Development Transitional  Proposed Zoning: Commercial and Convenience Commercial  Current Surrounding Land Use Guidance: Vacant land to the north (Rural Development Transitional); I-94 to the south (Woodbury); vacant land to the west (Rural Development Transitional); Manning Avenue to the east (West Lakeland).  History: The property has been used as rural vacant land. Request Details/Reason for PUD. The applicant is proposing to construct a park-and-ride facility on Outlot C along with a commercial development to the north on Outlot B. Currently, the Zoning Code states that transit-related park-and-ride lots are allowed in the Convenience Commercial zoning district within the written Purpose and District Descriptions of Article XIV: Commercial Districts, but it does not specifically designate park-and-ride facilities as an allowed use within Table 12-1: Permitted, Conditional and Interim Uses, Commercial Districts. Because of this, the applicant has submitted a Planned Unit Development Application, which allows the applicant to propose a number of uses which then become 2 permitted uses within the development. Staff believes this is more appropriate than requesting a Zoning Text Amendment in order to avoid allowing park-and-rides within every commercial area of the City. Additionally, the site plan proposes more than one principal building and use on a platted lot, which is only allowed within a PUD. Zoning. As per the Comprehensive Plan, the eastern portion of the site is guided for Commercial. With the Preliminary Plat and PUD application, Outlots B and D should be rezoned to Commercial, and Outlot C should be rezoned to Convenience Commercial, as the Zoning Code alludes that park-and-rides are an appropriate use within this zoning district. Outlot A would be rezoned at a later time when a development application is received for that parcel. Allowed Uses. As previously mentioned, the applicant is requesting park-and-ride as an allowed use within this development. The commercial development also proposes to include a gas station/convenience store (conditional use in Commercial zoning district), financial institution (permitted), restaurant (permitted), and daycare (conditional). Additionally, all other allowed uses within the Commercial zoning district would be allowed within Outlots B and D. Because the applicant has not secured prospective tenants at this time, the applicant is requesting the following uses be allowed (marked as either conditional, permitted, or not allowed within the Commercial zoning district):  Commercial kennel (conditional)  Apartments (conditional)  Automotive service center (conditional)  Drinking and entertainment (permitted)  Indoor recreation (conditional)  Post Office (not allowed)  Personal Services (permitted)  Carwash (conditional)  Financial institution (permitted)  Offices (permitted)  Restaurant (permitted)  Retail (permitted)  Lodging (permitted)  Schools (permitted)  Convent (not allowed)  Day care center (conditional)  Drive-through restaurant (conditional)  Farm equipment sales (not allowed)  Funeral home (permitted)  Sales and storage lots (conditional)  Bus/truck service station or garage (not allowed)  Veterinary Services (permitted)  Wholesales (permitted) The purpose of allowing conditional uses to become permitted with a PUD is that the City has a chance to review site plans. Because of the lack of any plans to accompany the requested uses listed in bullet points above, Staff would recommend that this request be denied and recommends that a condition of approval be that uses other than gas station/convenience store, daycare, and any permitted use within the Commercial zoning district be allowed require a conditional use permit unless the preliminary and final plans detail alternative uses with an approved site plan. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The City’s Planned Land Use Map indicates that this area is guided for Commercial. This area is intended to accommodate a wide range and scale of commercial uses (such as retail, service, entertainment, and office) throughout the City’s planned urban centers. 3 Commercial uses can range from small neighborhood convenience nodes, to community retail areas along major roadways, to large shopping centers, to auto-related commercial uses along freeways. The Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan also designates this area as Commercial but states that commercial land uses are for retail business solely. While a park and ride is not a commercial use, there is potential benefit of the draw for other businesses near the Park and Ride. Additionally, the City wide planning policy in regards to transportation of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan encourages, supports, and advocates public transit service to the City at appropriate geographic locations as determined by the City. Also, public transportation has less of a negative impact on the environment than taking a car, and financial savings result from eliminating parking fees, not needing to pay for gas for individual vehicles and the personal time saved when bypassing slow traffic. According to the US Census Bureau, in 2016 approximately 85% of Lake Elmo residents commute to work, and approximately 1.8% of those who commute to work utilize public transportation. It is not known whether or not a park and ride would encourage increased use of public transportation. A deterrent of a park and ride is that if the purchase of the land is by a public entity for use as a park and ride (or any other public use), the City would not collect any property taxes on the site. Site Plan. The proposed site plan includes one 6,800 square foot building financial building, 5,600 square foot restaurant, a 20,200 square foot gas station/convenience store, and a 10,400 square foot daycare along with 154 parking spaces, including 6 handicap parking spaces, within Outlot B. Outlot C includes a park and ride that will provide approximately 550 parking spaces, including 12 handicap parking spaces; electric charging stations; bike racks with overhead canopy; two 6’X13’ bus shelters; 10.5’X12’ restroom building. There is no current proposal for Outlot D. Outlot A will remain an outlot. Park and Ride. A park and ride facility is a parking lot or structure located along a public transit route designed to encourage transfer from private automobile to mass transit or to encourage carpooling for purposes of commuting, or for access to recreation uses. The City does not currently have a park and ride. The Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan designates the proposed area as a park and ride. The park and ride has been in discussion with the City since at least 2011, when the Planning Commission’s Work Plan included an item to discuss on potential rezoning on two sites for a park and ride along I-94. The corner of Hudson Boulevard and Manning Avenue was one of these sites. The Council adopted an ordinance on May 4, 2011, which allowed park and rides as a conditional use within the Rural Residential Limited Business Holding District (HD-RR-LB), which is no longer a zoning district within the City. According to a slide show presentation to the Metropolitan Council in 2015, a location was previously considered in Woodbury, but that has moved to the northwest quadrant. Seven locations were reviewed, but many were not possible due to various reasons. The park and ride will serve a new express bus service to downtown Minneapolis. Five daily trips are anticipated for express bus service. Current and Future Park and Rides. There currently are six lots in adjacent cities that could be used by Lake Elmo commuters. The figure below shows existing and proposed park and ride facilities near the proposed facility. Additionally, there is a new park and ride facility planned less than 1 mile from the southwestern city border to provide access to the Metro Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The numbers and percentages indicate the 2017 capacity of each park and ride. This information was derived from the 2017 Annual Regional Park and Ride System Report.  St. Croix Valley Recreation Center in Stillwater.  Guardian Angels Church in Oakdale (415 spaces, 81% utilized in 2017).  Walton Park in Oakdale (58 spaces, 50% utilized in 2017).  Woodbury Mall Theater in Woodbury (550 spaces, 79% utilized in 2017).  Woodbury Lutheran Church in Woodbury (90 spaces, 97% utilized in 2017).  Christ Episcopal Church Park and Ride next to Woodbury Lutheran Church Park-and-Ride. 4  There is also a park and pool lot available in Grant near the intersection of TH 36 and Manning Avenue (CSAH 15). Bus service is not provided at this lot, but commuters may still park for free and carpool from this location (15 spaces, 7% utilized in 2017). I-94 Impact. I-94 is identified as a High Priority on the Minnesota Interregional Corridor System (IRC) 2000 plan as part of the State Transportation Plan. Under this designation, I-94 has a goal 60-mph average peak hour operating speeds with minimal conflicts and interruptions to traffic flow. A corridor management plan has not yet been developed to examine the existing operations and determine future plans to meet those goals. It is expected that such a plan will be developed in the near future. It is also anticipated that Lake Elmo will have the opportunity to participate on some type of advisory panel in conjunction with development of that plan to express the City’s views and opinions on the corridor. The City will work with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT), the County, and adjacent communities on a corridor plan that is effective for all involved. Urban Services Required. Because the property is within the MUSA, any development of the property would require that the property be hooked up to city services. Therefore, utility and other applicable construction plans will need to be submitted as part of the approval process. Proposed Design. The applicant has not yet provided architectural renderings of the buildings. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant submit architectural renderings of the proposed buildings so that Staff and the City may further review their compliance with the City’s Zoning Code and Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards. Parking. Because the applicant is currently unsure of the exact tenants that will occupy Outlot B, Staff has not conducted a thorough analysis to determine whether or not adequate parking will be provided for tenants of Outlot B. Parking Lot Screening.  Interior Parking Lot Landscaping. At least 5% of the interior area of parking lots with more than 30 spaces is required to be devoted to landscape planting areas, which may consist of islands or corner beds. It is unclear from the site plan what percentage is devoted to this on both Outlots B and C. Additionally, a minimum of 1 shade tree per 15 spaces within parking lots that total 101 spaces or more are required to be located within these corner islands or beds. With the proposed 550 parking spaces of the park and ride 5 (Outlot C) a minimum of 37 shade trees are required to be provided within these corner beds or islands. The 154 parking spaces within Outlot B would require a minimum of 11 shade trees.  Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping. A landscaped frontage strip of at least eight feet in width is required, as the parking area contains over 100 spaces. Screening is required consisting of a masonry wall, fence, berm, or hedge or combination that forms a screen a minimum of three and a half and maximum of four feet in height and not less than 50% opaque on a year-round basis and a minimum of one deciduous tree per 50 linear feet. It is a recommended condition of approval that the Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans submittal provide required interior and perimeter parking lot landscaping as required by the Zoning Code. Off-Street Loading. Off-street loading space is required for all districts for any nonresidential use which will involve the receipt or distribution of materials or merchandise by trucks or similar vehicles and has a gross floor area of 5,000 square feet or more. For facilities with 20,000 square feet gross floor area or greater, one off-street loading berth shall be provided every 30,000 square feet or fraction thereof. Depending on the final uses that are proposed with the Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans for this development, it should be evaluated whether or not an off-street loading berth should be provided. Consistency with Commercial and Convenience Commercial Zoning Districts. The proposed development will require a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property to Commercial and Convenience Commercial. The standards for this district are shown below. The applicant has not provided sufficient information to complete a detailed review of the proposal against these standards, though it is obvious that the maximum impervious surface of the Convenience Commercial zoning district is exceeded. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant outline all requested PUD flexibility with the Preliminary Plat and PUD application or meet required standards. Consistency with Planned Unit Development Regulations. Staff has reviewed the proposed plan for its consistency with requirements of Article XVII: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Regulations and has found the following: Standard Commercial Convenience Commercial Impervious Surface Maximum 75% 60% Minimum Lot Area 20,000 square feet 12,000 square feet Minimum Lot Width 60 feet 75 feet Building Front Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet Building Interior Side Yard Setback 10 feet 10 feet Building Corner Side Yard Setback 10 feet 10 feet Building Rear Yard Setback 30 feet 30 feet Building Residential Zones 50 feet 50 feet Parking Front Yard Setback 15 feet 15 feet Parking Interior Yard Setback 10 feet 10 feet Parking Corner Side Yard Setback 15 feet 15 feet Parking Rear Yard Setback 10 feet 10 feet Parking Residential Zones 35 feet 35 feet Maximum Building Height 45 feet 35 feet 6  Intent. The intent of a PUD is to provide for flexibility in the use of land and the placement and size of buildings in order to better utilize site features and obtain a higher quality of development. A PUD is required for the proposed development, as a park and ride is not specifically an allowed use within the Convenience Commercial zoning district, and a zoning text amendment to allow it any area that was guided for the Commercial land use designation would likely not be appropriate. Additionally, there is more than one principal building and use proposed on one parcel. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant submit specific requests for flexibility from the Zoning Code with the Preliminary Plat and PUD application.  Identified Objectives. When reviewing requests for PUDs, the City is to consider whether one or more objectives as outlined in Section 154.751: Identified Objectives of the Zoning Code will be served or is achieved. Staff has found that the following objectives are being met with the proposed development. B. Promotion of integrated land uses, allowing for a mixture of residential, commercial and public facilities.  The proposed development is mixed use and includes a mixture of buildings and uses on one parcel. The uses have not yet been specifically identified yet, but it is a recommended condition of approval that the uses be identified on the parcel with the Preliminary Plat and PUD application. I. Allowing the development to operate in concert with a redevelopment plan in certain areas of the City and to ensure the redevelopment goals and objectives will be achieved.  While this isn’t necessarily a redevelopment, the proposed development will bring city utilities to this area of the City and assist with the realignment of Hudson Boulevard. Minimum Requirements. PUDs must meet the following minimum requirements: A. Lot Area. A PUD must include a minimum of 5 acres for undeveloped land or 2 acres for developed land within the approved development.  The proposed development exceeds this requirement with a proposed 15.77 acre development. B. Open Space: For all PUDs, at least 20% of the project area not within street rights-of- way to be preserved as protected open space. Other public or site amenities may be approved as an alternative to this requirement. Any required open space must be available to the residents, tenants, or customers of the PUD for recreational purposes or similar benefit. Land reserved for storm water detention facilities and other required site improvements may be applied to this requirement. Open space shall be designed to meet the needs of residents of the PUD and the surrounding neighborhoods, to the extent practicable, for parks, playgrounds, playing fields and other recreational facilities.  The applicant has not provided sufficient information to determine if this is true. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant either provide the required 20% open space within the development or specify with the Preliminary Plat and PUD application what the proposed public or site amenity the development will provide that the City may consider an alternative to the open space requirement. C. Street Layout… In newly developing areas, streets shall be designed to maximize connectivity in each cardinal direction, except where environmental or physical constraints 7 make this infeasible. All streets shall terminate at other streets, at public land, or at a park or other community facility, except that local streets may terminate in stub streets when those will be connected to other streets in future phases of the development or adjacent developments.  The proposed realignment of Hudson Boulevard meets this requirement. The Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans will need to provide detailed plans that meet all engineering standards. It is a recommended condition of approval that all comments outlined in the Engineering memo dated June 14, 2018 be addressed. Proposed Amenities. The City’s PUD ordinance provides that amenities may be provided for increased density. In this case, the applicant is not requesting additional density, as this is a commercial development. However, a PUD should still offer the City amenities in exchange for the flexibility of allowing more than one building and principal use on a parcel as well as flexibility from any other standard that is requested as part of the preliminary phase of the planned development. Staff finds that no amenities as designated in Table 16-2: Site Amenities are provided in the proposed site plan.  Site Amenities Not Listed? Additionally, the City may also consider the allotment of amenity “points” for site amenities that are not otherwise specified within the ordinance as part of the preliminary phase of the planned development. Parkland Dedication. Commercial development is required to provide fees in lieu of park land dedication. These fees will be required prior to recording the plat of each phase of the development. Because the proposed development will consist of 15.77 acres, a parkland dedication fee of $70,965.00 (15.77 acres X $4500 commercial park dedication fee per acre) will be required. Engineering Comments. The City Engineer has provided a review memo regarding the proposed General Concept PUD. This memo is attached for reference. Staff would like to highlight the following comments in summary:  Streets and Transportation o Hudson Boulevard Realignment. Hudson Boulevard must be realigned to move the existing Hudson Boulevard/Manning Avenue intersection north approximately 470 feet to align with the existing Holiday gas station, which the Concept Plan shows. This realignment must be designed meeting Municipal State Aid Design Standards for urban section roadways with a 45-mph design speed. Additional design details and geometrics are required for City review and changes to this realignment are likely needed. o Traffic Signal/Turn Lane Improvements. These will be needed at the new CSAH 15 and Hudson Boulevard intersection, and the concept plan shows this. A financial contribution to the intersection improvements should be considered. o Hudson Boulevard Improvements. This must be improved per the City design standards to an urban section on the north side of the street, a 4-foot shoulder (curb reaction), a 9-foot boulevard, and 10-foot shared bituminous trail with 2- foot clear zone. It is further recommended that the south side of the street include an urban section across Outlots B, C, and D. A rural section is permitted along the south boulevard once the road passes Outlot D. o Hudson Boulevard Right-of-Way/Easement Dedication. Significant right-of-way dedication is required to facilitate the Hudson Boulevard realignment and 8 improvements necessary for this development. Additional right-of-way should also be granted to facilitate access to the new Hudson Boulevard access to the property to the north via the first intersection east of Manning Avenue to the north property line. o Off-Site Permissions/Right-of-Way. A ROW easement will be required from the property to the north to allow for the Hudson Boulevard realignment at Manning Avenue. o Access. There are three access points proposed along Hudson Boulevard, two of which meet spacing guidelines. The access to be shared by outlots B and C can only be permitted right-in/right-out, and a center median will be required. o Turn Lanes. The addition of turn lanes will need to be evaluated as determined by the City, which may require additional right-of-way.  Stormwater Management o A stormwater management plan meeting all applicable jurisdictions should be submitted with preliminary plans and meeting all applicable standards. o Stormwater facilities should remain privately owned, a stormwater maintenance agreement will be required.  Municipal Sanitary Sewer o Provisions to connect to municipal sanitary sewer must be included in the preliminary plans. Sewer would discharge to the MCES Cottage Grove Ravine Interceptor. o Applicant will be responsible to connect to City sanitary sewer at the applicant’s sole cost and will need to stub sanitary sewer mains to adjacent properties. o Preliminary plans must include a description of the sanitary sewer capacity demands including the number of residential equivalency units (RECs) based on Met Council SAC determination charge. o Any extension will require utility easements 15 feet on each side centered from the pipe from off-site properties.  Municipal Water Supply o Provisions to connect to municipal water supply must be included in preliminary plat application. o Applicant will be responsible to extend municipal water at the applicant’s sole cost and will need to stub water mains to adjacent properties. o Preliminary plans must include a description of the water capacity demands including average day use, peak day uses, and fire suppression demands. This information is required for staff evaluation of the water improvements needed to support the development and to determine water availability charges. o Water is available from Hunter’s Crossing but will require easements across adjacent properties. o The site is in the water system’s low-pressure zone which has limited capacity until a new water tower is constructed to serve the area. o The applicant is required to place hydrants throughout the property at the direction of the Fire Department, and the hydrants shall be owned and maintained by the City. o Watermain lines and hydrants will require easements. Building Official and Fire Chief Review. The Building Official and Fire Chief have reviewed the proposed plan and have no comments. They will be consulted during the Preliminary and Final phases of the PUD in order to ensure that adequate essential services are being provided. 9 County Review. The application has been sent to the County requesting review. The City had not received comments from the County at the time of drafting this report, though the report may be available at the meeting. In meetings discussing this proposed development prior to receiving an application, the County had indicated desire of a signal at the intersection of Hudson Boulevard and Manning Avenue North. Possible Findings for Denial. The City has legislative authority to rezone a parcel and may not wish to rezone Outlot C to Convenience Commercial. While the Convenience Commercial zoning district describes park and ride as an allowed use within the Convenience Commercial zoning district, it is not an outlined use within the Commercial-guided areas of the Comprehensive Plan. The Planned Unit Development ordinance states that uses within the PUD may include only those uses generally considered associated with the general land use category shown for the area on the official Comprehensive Land Use Plan. A park and ride is not generally a commercial use if owned by a public entity, and so the Planning Commission may wish to recommend denial of the proposed Concept PUD Plan based on this. Recommended Findings. Staff recommends approval of the Concept PUD Plan based on the following findings: 1. That the Applicant has submitted all application requirements outlined in Section 154.759: Application Requirements for General PUD Concept Plan. 2. That the PUD Concept Plan is consistent with the intent of the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area. 3. That the PUD Concept Plan complies with the general intent of the Commercial zoning districts with PUD modifications. 4. That the PUD Concept Plan generally complies with the City’s Subdivision regulations. 5. That the PUD Concept Plan is generally consistent with the City’s engineering standards with exceptions as noted in the City Engineer’s memorandum dated June 14, 2018. 6. The PUD Concept Plan meets the minimum requirement for a PUD including minimum lot area and street layout. It is not known whether the minimum requirement for open space is met. 7. The PUD Concept Plan meets at least one of the required PUD objectives identified in Section 154.751. Recommended Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Concept PUD with the following conditions: 1. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans include a portion of PID# 34.029.21.43.0003. 2. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall identify proposed land uses, and those land uses shall accompany a detailed site plan to be approved by the City. Any use that is not designated on the Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans and is not designated as a permitted use within the Commercial zoning district shall require a conditional use permit. 3. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall provide the required 20% open space within the development or specify what the proposed public or site amenity the development will provide that the City may consider as an alternative to the open space requirement. 4. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans should detail proposed amenities in exchange for flexibility from standards of the Zoning Code. 5. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall comply with comments outlined in the City Engineer Review Memo named Four Corners 2nd Addition Concept Plan dated June 14, 2018. 6. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall include provisions for City sanitary sewer and municipal water as well as sanitary sewer and water capacity demands. The Applicant shall be responsible to extend City sanitary sewer and municipal water to the site at the applicant’s cost. Sanitary sewer and water main stubs will be required to all adjacent properties. 10 7. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall include right-of-way and easement from the adjacent property to the north to allow for the Hudson Boulevard realignment at Manning Avenue. 8. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall include a stormwater management plan including a summary report describing the overall management plan and performance criteria for all required storm events. 9. The Applicant shall obtain all necessary permits including but not limited to all applicable city permits (building, grading, sign, etc.), NPDES/SWPPP permits and Valley Branch Watershed District approval. 10. Stormwater facilities shall be privately owned and maintained. A maintenance agreement in a form acceptable to the City should be executed and recorded. 11. The future Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans shall include tree preservation and landscape plans to be approved by the City’s Landscape Architect. 12. The future Preliminary Plant and PUD Plans shall include architectural renderings. 13. The Applicant shall submit a photometric plan, and all lighting must meet requirements of Sections 150.035-150.038 of the City Code. 14. That fees in lieu of park land dedication be provided as required by 153.15 of the City Code with future final plat. FISCAL IMPACT: There would be no fiscal impact to the City at this time, as the developer would be required to pay for any amendments needed to accommodate the development. Concept Plan approval does not afford the applicant development rights. When the property develops, it will have urban services and will pay sewer and water connection charges, building permit fees and the like. OPTIONS: The Commission may:  Recommend approval of the Four Corners 2nd Addition Concept PUD with Staff-recommended conditions of approval and findings.  Amend Staff-recommended conditions of approval and finding and recommend approval.  Recommend denial of the Four Corners 2nd Addition Concept PUD and recommend findings for denial. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed PUD Concept Plan with the recommended conditions of approval. “Motion to recommend approval of the Four Corners 2nd Addition PUD Concept Plan as requested by Terry Emerson for the southwest corner of 11530 Hudson Boulevard with recommended conditions of approval.” ATTACHMENTS:  Application materials  Engineer review memo dated June 14, 2018
