Meeting Conclusion Item No: 5A Meeting Date: July 20, 2016 Type of Business: Planning Case SP-202-16 1 To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Planner Re: Consider Resolution 1054-16, a Resolution recommending approval of a Text Amendment to the Mounds View Municipal Code, Chapters 1102, 1103, and 1106 relating to Accessory Dwelling Units. Date: July 20, 2016 Introduction Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are similar to an apartment on the same lot as a single-family home. An ADU may be attached to, or detached from the home. Examples include a basement apartment, an apartment above an attached garage, or a standalone building in the backyard. Currently, ADU’s are prohibited in all districts. Staff occasionally receive inquiries if they are permitted. This topic was discussed by the City Council on May 9, 2016, and by the Planning Commission on June 1st and July 6th, 2016. Discussion At the July 6th Planning Commission meeting, the Commission’s consensus included: Permitted Use: If the ADU is located within an existing home and does not require physical alteration of the home’s exterior, other than doors or windows. Examples include; conversion of a basement, second floor, area above an attached garage, or if the home was originally constructed with an ADU. Conditional Use: If the ADU is located within an addition onto a home or accessory building requiring physical alteration of the building’s exterior. Examples include an addition onto a home, garage, or a standalone ADU. Owner Occupied: Either the home or the ADU must be homesteaded and occupied by the homeowner a majority of the year. It is possible that the property may be “Relative Homestead”, meaning that it is occupied by a relative of the homeowner rather than the homeowner themselves. In Minneapolis, to counter this loophole, the City requires that the homeowner record a M E M O Item No: 5A Meeting Date: July 20, 2016 Type of Business: Planning Case SP-202-16 2 covenant stating that the homeowner will occupy the property, ensuring the intent of the ordinance is followed, and shall notify any future owner of the same (via the covenant). If not owner occupied, the ADU must be made non-livable (i.e. toilet or sink, etc. is removed). However, it is Staff’s opinion that a covenant would not be necessary in Mounds View. If a violation occurs, the City would treat it similar to any other ordinance violation (potential of a misdemeanor). Other: R-1 District: Accessory Dwelling Units would only be allowed in the R-1 Single-Family Residential District. This is because two-family dwellings (i.e. duplexes) are permitted in the R-2, R-3, and R-4 districts. Setbacks: Within the R-1 District, ADU’s must be setback a minimum of 10’ from the side and rear property lines (an accessory building is 5’). If an existing accessory building with a 5’ setback is converted into an ADU, that portion of the ADU must be setback a minimum of 10’, and the excess 5’ cannot be livable area. Parking: Single-Family and Two-Family dwellings are required to provide a minimum of two off-street parking spaces per unit (multi-family dwellings must be provided with 2.5 spaces per unit). Under the draft ordinance, a Single-Family Home with an ADU would be required to provide a minimum of three off-street parking spaces (2 for the house, and 1 for the ADU). Rental Dwelling License: As with all residential rental properties, a Rental Dwelling License will be required. Exception; “A rental dwelling license is not required for residences occupied by the owner where no more than two (2) sleeping rooms are rented and the renters have access to the entire residence, or for residences occupied only by the owner’s children or parents.” (City Code, Section 1012.03, Subd 1(b). If a rental license is required, the City will inspect the ADU every other year for compliance with Building & Development Regulations (City Code, Title 1000). The annual fee is $375 the first year, and $60 each year thereafter. The $375 fee may be reduced to $100, if the homeowner attends a rental housing workshop, or contracts with a management company to manage the ADU. The Homeowner (landlord) cannot discriminate against renters or rental applicants. Exceptions; If the ADU is attached to the home and the ADU renter has access to it (i.e. internal door), the homeowner can discriminate based on sex, marital status, public assistance, sexual orientation, or disability (Minn Stat §363A.21, Subd 1(2). For example, if the home is owned and occupied by a single elderly lady, she may choose to rent only to an unmarried woman. This exception would not apply to detached ADU’s, or attached ADU’s with no internal access to the attached home. Item No: 5A Meeting Date: July 20, 2016 Type of Business: Planning Case SP-202-16 3 Height: The intent is for ADU’s to comply with maximum height standards in the R-1 District; 45’ (or 2½ stories) if attached to the home, and 18’ if detached. Thus, an ADU is not likely to be located above a detached garage. Height is measured from the ground to the peak. In Minneapolis, the maximum accessory building height is 20’ from ground to mid-roof, and 25’ to peak. Frequency: Staff inquired with the cities of Bloomington, Chanhassen, Farmington, Minneapolis, Plymouth, Richfield, Roseville, Shoreview and White Bear Lake as to how frequently an ADU has been permitted in their communities. Most communities responded that no ADU’s have been built. A few have averaged one ADU per year. Richfield had a number of illegal ADU’s become legal, but no new ADU’s. In contrast, Minneapolis has approved 50 ADU’s during the past 1½ years that they’ve been allowed. Staff anticipates that there will be a number of inquiries made if ADU’s are allowed in Mounds View (as is current), but few permits applied for, similar to other suburb’s experience. Summary Accessory Dwelling Units are one solution to providing housing diversity in neighborhoods. ADU occupants are likely to include adult children, elderly parents, college students, personal caretakers, and other residents. ADU’s may provide extra income to property owners, and allow multi-generational families to live separately under one roof. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Resolution 1054-16, a Resolution recommending approval of a Text Amendment to the Mounds View Municipal Code, Chapters 1102, 1103, and 1106 relating to Accessory Dwelling Units. Respectfully, Jon Sevald, AICP Planner Attachments Resolution 1054-16 MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 1054-16 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO TITLE 1100 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW CITY CODE PERTAINING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS; PLANNING CASE: SP-202-16 WHEREAS, City Staff has recommended that amendments be made to the zoning code related to accessory dwelling units; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission agrees with the City Staff recommendation to allow Accessory Dwelling Units; and WHEREAS, City Staff has amended Chapter 1102; 1103; and 1106 of the Mounds View Municipal Code by adding the underlined material and deleting the stricken material as follows (Footnotes are for reference, and not for publication): Chapter 1102: Zoning Rules and Definitions Section1102.02: Definitions: The following words and terms, wherever they occur in this Code, shall be defined as follows: Subd. 42.

Special Order of Business None. Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 2 ________________________________________________________________________ 4. Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda None. 5. Planning Cases A. Consider Resolution 1053-16, a Resolution recommending approval of a Text Amendment to the Mounds View Municipal Code, Chapters 1102, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 relating to breweries, brewpubs, micro-distilleries, taprooms and cocktail rooms Planner Sevald stated in recent years, a number of taprooms have opened in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and more locally in Lino Lakes and Anoka. He provided further comment on the Surly Bill. He explained there are plans for taprooms in Blaine and Coon Rapids as well. In order for one to open in Mounds View, the Zoning Code must be amended to allow the location; and the City’s Liquor Licensing Code must be amended to regulate on-sale and off-sale of beer and alcohol. It was noted the proposed amendment only addresses the zoning portion and that the City Council will act on the liquor licensing separately. Staff reviewed the code amendment in further detail and recommended approval. Chair Stevenson requested staff further define the differences between a brewery, brewpub, micro-distillery, taproom and cocktail room. Planner Sevald defined each of these uses in further detail. Chair Stevenson believed it was important for the City to clearly define the differences between each use. He commended staff for providing a clear distinction between each use. Commissioner Klander appreciated the greater understanding between the different uses as well. He asked if taprooms would offer off-sale. Planner Sevald stated this would depend on their liquor license and was not a zoning issue. Commissioner Love suggested the taproom language be amended to read the sale of malt liquor which would omit any off-sale or on-sale reference. Further discussion ensued regarding the function and definition of a taproom. Commissioner Klebsch asked if this Ordinance amendment opens the door to breweries of all sizes. Planner Sevald stated this was the case. Commissioner Klebsch explained she would be more comfortable with the size being limited for potential breweries, brewpubs and taprooms in order to keep a large national brewer out of Mounds View. Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson suggested the term micro-brewery be used within the Ordinance amendment as this would limit breweries to 15,000 barrels in a calendar year. Commissioner Klebsch questioned what the City’s SAC and WAC fees would be for micro- breweries. Planner Sevald reported he had not considered these fees and would speak with the Public Works Department about this further. Chair Stevenson stated this was a good point given the recent water issues that have impacted communities surrounding Mounds View. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Klebsch/Commissioner French. To approve Resolution 1053-16, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Text Amendment to the Mounds View Municipal Code, Chapters 1102, 1113, 1114, 1115, and 1116 relating to breweries, brewpubs, micro-distilleries, taprooms and cocktail rooms. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. _____________________________________________________________________________ B. Consider Resolution 1054-16, a Resolution recommending approval of a Text Amendment to the Mounds View Municipal Code, Chapters 1102, 1103 and 1106 relating to Accessory Dwelling Units Planner Sevald stated Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are similar to an apartment on the same lot as a single-family home. An ADU may be attached to, or detached from the home. Examples include a basement apartment, an apartment above a garage or a standalone building in the backyard. This topic was discussed by the City Council on May 9, 2016 and by the Planning Commission on June 1, 2016. Staff reviewed the discussion held by both groups, along with the proposed text amendment and requested the Commission approve the proposed code amendment for ADU’s. Chair Stevenson asked how owner-occupied units would be addressed. Planner Sevald understood this was a concern. He believed that most residents would not oppose family members living in an apartment unit within a single-family home. However, if the unit were to be rented out to a non-family member, this would be concerning. He stated the Commission could require the property to be homesteaded, or family-homesteaded. Commissioner Klebsch questioned the percentage of homeowners versus renters in Mounds View. Planner Sevald was uncertain of this percentage. He estimated the City had around 1,000 rental units. Chair Stevenson discussed the ADU requirements for the properties surrounding his cabin. He asked if additional parking would be required for those with an ADU. Planner Sevald explained one additional parking stall would be required. Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 4 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson did not believe 50% of a home should be able to be used for an ADU. He recommended this percentage not be over 30%. Commissioner Klebsch wanted to see additional language added to the text amendment to ensure the aesthetics of the building could be controlled. She suggested that if a basement was turned into an ADU, no additional square footage could be added to the basement level. Planner Sevald provided further clarification on the existing language in the text amendment. Further discussion ensued regarding additions to homes with ADU’s. Planner Sevald questioned if ADU’s should be a permitted or conditional use. Chair Stevenson supported the ADU’s being a permitted use that could be managed by staff. Commissioner French stated he would want to be notified if his neighbors were constructing a detached ADU on their property. Chair Stevenson believed this was a good point. He suggested that attached ADU’s be a permitted use and that detached ADU’s be a conditional use. Planner Sevald stated this could be pursued by staff. Commissioner Klander questioned if the City would require ADU’s to have the same appearance as the existing home. Planner Sevald explained the City would require the ADU to match the character of the single-family home. Commissioner Klebsch supported detached ADU’s being a conditional use. She indicated she would want to know if her neighbors were planning to add onto their home or garage in order to have renters, especially if these units could be 10 feet from property lines. Commissioner Klander asked how the ADU’s would be licensed with the City. Planner Sevald described the rental licensing procedure and noted he could report back at the next meeting with further details. Commissioner Klander suggested the owner-occupied language be removed and that ADU’s be required to be homesteaded. Commissioner Love questioned if properties could be rezoned to R-2 if the homeowners did not want to live in the home. Planner Sevald stated this was a possibility, however the rezoning would have to be justified. Commissioner Love inquired if a large detached garage addition would be allowed for a homeowner with a small home. Planner Sevald discussed the City’s detached garage requirements. Planner Sevald reviewed a number of scenarios regarding ADU’s within homes and garages. Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 5 ________________________________________________________________________ There was Commission consensus to allow ADU’s on second story, third story or in a basement as a permitted use so long as there were no structural changes. Discussion ensued regarding exterior stairwells. Commissioner Klander believed that if the unit required a building permit, the neighbors should be notified regarding the ADU. Planner Sevald questioned if an ADU should be a permitted or conditional use for new construction homes with a detached garage with an apartment unit. Chair Stevenson did not believe that this should be a conditional use since the home would be constructed in this manner. Commissioner Klebsch agreed stating the ADU would be a part of the original footprint of the home and garage. Commissioner Love encouraged the City to keep aesthetics in mind for this code amendment. Planner Sevald thanked the Commission for all of the input. He stated he would revise the text amendment and report back at a future meeting. _____________________________________________________________________________ 6. Other Planning Activity None. ______________________________________________________________________________ 7. Reports A. Upcoming Planning Cases & Activity Planner Sevald discussed upcoming planning cases. B. Staff Updates Planner Sevald provided the Commission with an update from staff. He noted over 500 homes were without power from the recent storm. He hoped this number would decrease quickly as time goes on. C. Council Updates Council Member Meehlhause provided the Planning Commission with an update from the City Council. He commented on the Comprehensive Plan task force that would be created to assist with updating this document. He noted the Council would begin the 2017 budgeting process in Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 6 ________________________________________________________________________ August. He reported the Council was discussing a change in Council salaries stating their pay has not changed since 2003. He reviewed the proposed new pay rates. He explained the Community Center would be getting a new sign that would match the City Hall sign. He reported Nathan Harder was hired as the City’s Police Chief and would begin serving the City in mid-August. He described the name changes coming for Highway Avenue and County Highway 10. He discussed the plans for the Crossroad Pointe redevelopment project. D. Planning Commissioner Reports Commissioner Klebsch explained she has accepted an appointment to the Minnesota Council of Latino Affairs and believed that this would not pose any conflict of interest with serving on the Planning Commission. Chair Stevenson congratulated Commissioner Klebsch. 8. Approval of Minutes June 1, 2016. Commissioner Klebsch requested a change on Page 8 changing Commission to Commissioner.
