Item No: 09B Meeting Date: Sep 13, 2021 Type of Business: Reports City Administrator Review: of Mounds View Staff R To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Discussion; 5491 Adams Street (Fedor's Market) Introduction: Fedor's Market, 5491 Adams Street, operated between 1961 and 2016. In July 2021, the property was purchased by Andrei Bornov, BBAK Ventures, LLC. Mr. Bornov plans to renovate the building for multiple tenants. The current discussion is for; (1) an event center; (2) kennel boarding; and (3) grocery store. There are challenges regarding zoning and parking. In order for the proposed tenants to move forward, either the City Code must be amended or the property re -zoned, and Variance obtained to reduce required parking, and/or CUP for shared parking... It's complicated. The intent of this discussion is to make the Council aware of Mr. Bornov's intentions, and to request direction from the Council on which direction(s) to pursue, prior to investments being made in building renovations. On -site parking will be a challenge no matter the use(s). Thus, this issue should be addressed sooner rather than later. Alternatively, the Council may direct that all parking be on -site, limited to the existing 11 parking stalls (no on -street parking), thus, limiting practical uses to those which have little demand for parking, and high demand for storage (e.g. Tires N'More). Discussion: The property is zoned B-2 Neighborhood Business, is 0.43 acres in size, includes a 6,000 sq ft building, four -car detached garage, and 11 parking stalls in front of the building. On the side is angled parking, 12' in depth whereas 18' is required (Cars hang out into the street. This is not permitted). There is on -street parking on the east side of Adams Street (in front of Cross of Glory Lutheran Church), and no parking on Groberg Street (side street). The B-2 district is intended for retail or service businesses, providing goods and services on a community scale. Event Center (2,500 sq ft, 25-50 person capacity) 1. An Event Center (e.g. private rental space) is not specifically addressed in the Municipal Code, but is interpreted to be a "Public or semi-public recreational buildings and neighborhood or community centers....", which is a Permitted Use in the B-3 district. 2. Requires rezoning from B-2 to B-3; or an amendment to allow this use in the B-2 district. 3. Requires 13 parking stalls, one parking stall for every 4-person capacity.' Kennel Boarding (1,500 sq ft) 1. Animal Boarding Facilities are a Conditional Use2 (CUP) in the B-2 district, provided mitigation of noise and odors. Outdoor exercise areas must be supervised. 2. Requires 12 parking spaces.' 'Mounds View Municipal Code § 160.342 (Schedule of Off -Street Parking Requirements (Auditorium, Animal Hospital, Retail store and service establishment). Mounds View Municipal Code §160.183(C) (Veterinary clinics, animal clinics and animal boarding facilities)
