Meeting Conclusion Item No: 05A Meeting Date: May 5, 2021 Type of Business: Planning Case Planning Case: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 1133-21, Recommending Approval of Ordinance 976, Amending the Mounds View Municipal Code, Chapters 1114 and 115, Relating to Drive -In and Convenience Food Establishments Introduction: El Loro Restaurant, 2535 Mounds View Boulevard, has been vacant since 2017. The property is zoned B-4 Regional Business, which prohibits drive-thru restaurants. Paster Properties (owner) has had some interest from fast-food restaurants. The topic was discussed by the City Council's Development Committee, which favored allowing a drive-thru. This was further discussed during the City Council's April 5' Work Session regarding Development Opportunities and Constraints. The City's intent is to remove zoning constraints (when warranted) that may be prohibiting redevelopment opportunities. Discussion: Mounds View Square shopping center consists of three buildings; (1) the main L-shaped building, (2) El Loro; and (3) the Caribou Coffee/H&R Block/Little Caesars Pizza building. The main building and El Loro are zoned B-4. The Caribou building (formerly Hardee's) is zoned B- 3. The B-3 district allows drive-thru's as a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The B-4 district prohibits them. For the El Loro site, there are two options; (1) amend the B-4 district to allow drive-thru restaurants, similar to the B-3 district; or (2) rezone the property from B-4 to B-3. The end result is the same, but the path differs. The original intent when Mounds View Square was developed in 1974 was for a traditional sit- down restaurant (e.g. Bridgeman's, Totino's, El Loro). Since this time, dining habits have changed, favoring fast-food restaurants (e.g. McDonalds, Subway), and fast casual restaurants (e.g. Chipotle, Noodle's & Company). In winter/spring 2020, there was a proposal to remodel El Loro into "Sota Tap House and Grill", but was pulled due to the pending Covid-19 pandemic. If requiring a Conditional Use Permit, the intent is for the Planning Commission/City Council to review the use of the drive-thru portion of the restaurant, such as, is there enough stacking space, and is there enough buffering of car headlights, etc. The same items are reviewed as part of a Development Review, required for new buildings or building expansions more than 10% or 10,000 sq ft. Thus, the CUP and Development Review process may duplicate each other at times. CUP's require a Public Hearing. Development Reviews do not. The proposed Ordinance Amendment removes duplicate language (# a - k), which refers to other sections of the City Code. In Staff's opinion, this provides a false -sense that the drive-thru must only comply with those regulations referenced, and not others. The Commission may also want to consider allowing Drive-Thru Restaurants as a Permitted Use, instead of a CUP. Item 05A Page 2 of 6 Analysis: Current City Code B-1 B-2 B-3 B-4 Restaurants, cafes, tea rooms, taverns, on- and off -sale liquor. - - Permitted Permitted Restaurant, cafe, and tea room with a maximum of twenty four (24) seats and two thousand (2,000) square feet in floor area. The restaurant shall not include drive-thru and/or window pick-up services or the serving of food to patrons in their vehicles. - Permitted Permitted Permitted Restaurants, cafes and tea rooms with more than twenty four (24) seats and/or two thousand (2,000) square feet of floor area. The restaurant shall not include drive-thru and/or window pick-up services or the serving of food to patrons in their vehicles. - CUP Permitted Permitted Drive-in and convenience food establishments; provided, that: - - CUP - a. The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site shall not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. b. At the boundaries of a residential district, a strip of not less than ten feet (10') shall be landscaped and screened in compliance with subdivisions 1103.08(1) through (5) of this Title. c. Each light standard island and all islands in the parking lot shall be landscaped or covered. d. Parking areas shall be screened from view of abutting residential districts in compliance with subdivisions 1103.08(1) through (5) of this Title. e. Parking areas and driveways shall be curbed with continuous curbs not Tess than six inches (6") high above the parking lot or driveway grade. f. Vehicular access points shall be limited, shall create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement, shall comply with Chapter 1121 of this Title and shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. g. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the Tight source is not visible from the public right of way or from an abutting residence and shall be in compliance with Section 1103.09 of this Title. h. The entire area shall have a drainage system which is subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. i. The entire area, other than that occupied by buildings or structures or plantings, shall be surfaced with a material which will control dust, drainage and erosion which is subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer. j. All signing and informational or visual communication devices shall be in compliance with the Mounds View Sign Code k. The provisions of subdivision 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Continue BR&E program, maximize utilization of development space and current list of available sites, encourage land owners to maintain their properties, & consider residential development. The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Communii} Item 05A Page 3 of 6 Financial Impact: None. Recommendation: Staff recommends discussion of the Ordinance Amendment, and to provide direction on whether to allow Drive-Thru's as a Conditional Use vs. a Permitted Use. The end -goal is to provide options for a drive-thru restaurant at the El Loro site. The proposed Amendment is written such that it is a Conditional Use in the B-4 district (currently prohibited), and removes duplicate requirements from both B-3 and B-4 districts (items a — k). If approved as a CUP, it would allow the Planning Commission/City Council to make site specific requirements (e.g. more screening), whereas this would not be an option if a Permitted Use.

Introduction and First Reading by the Mounds View City Council on Second Reading and Adoption by the Mounds View City Council on Publication Date: BE IT FINNALLY RESOLVED, that the Planning and Zoning Commission directs Staff to forward this Resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. Adopted this 5th day of May, 2021. Gary Rundle, Chair Attest: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director (SEAL) Item No: 06A Meeting Date: May 5, 2021 Type of Business: Other Planning Case: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Discussion - Signs Discussion: Previously, the Planning Commission asked to discuss sign regulations. At the March 3rd Commission meeting, the scope was narrowed more toward the brightness of dynamic (digital) signs. Attached is a comparison of sign codes specific to city corridors similar to Mounds View Boulevard, for Ground, Wall, and Dynamic signs. Since the March meeting, information has been added regarding the maximum brightness of Dynamic Signs. Although Mounds View has maximum brightness standards, we do not have a tool to enforce this (costs about $2,000). Rather, the City requires that dynamic displays be installed with a manual override, in the event the sign's automated dimmer fails. Community Development Staff are not aware of any complaints about signage (excluding temporary signs), other than complaints generated by other City Staff. The Commission is encouraged to drive the Boulevard a few times, and provide an opinion as to what Commission members would change, if anything. For example, if there is a most favored, or least favored sign characteristics. One thing to note is that older signs which are non- conforming, can be repaired or replaced, but cannot be expanded. This means that some of the lesser desirable signs will likely stay until the property is re -developed. Also, a number of variances have been approved for signs over the years (e.g. McDonalds, BP, & Days Inn, Interactive Playground). Recommendation: Staff requests that Commissioners drive Mounds View Boulevard, and be prepared to discuss likes & dislikes.

Resolution 1131-21, Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Accessory Building exceeding 952 square feet for Curtis Goettsch at 2229 Lambert Avenue Community Development Director Sevald stated the homeowners, Curt & Ann Goettsch, built a home addition in 2020, and now propose to replace the detached 20' X 24' garage (480' square feet) with a 28' X 44' garage (1,232 square feet). The lot is 75' X 300'. Within the R-1 Single Family Residential District, Accessory Buildings exceeding 952 square feet in area, require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Each lot is allowed up to three accessory buildings, totaling 1,800 square feet. Currently, there are no accessory buildings on the property, other than the garage to be removed. The garage must be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance with the house. The width cannot exceed 35' (28' is proposed). The garage will be set back 6' from the side (west) property line, whereas 5' is the minimum. The western neighbor also has a large accessory building (906 square feet). Staff commented further on the CUP and recommended approval as requested. Curtis Goettsch, 2229 Lambert Avenue, explained the front of the garage would look like the front of the house, noting it would have stone and Masonite siding. He indicated his garage needs to be rebuilt, and instead of building a two car garage and a shed, he would rather build an oversized garage. Chair Rundle commented on how large these lots were. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Farmer/Commissioner Stevenson. To approve Resolution 1131-21, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit 2229 Lambert Avenue. A roll call vote was taken. Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried. B. Resolution 1132-21, Recommending Approval of Ordinance 975, Amending Chapter 1106 of the Mounds View City Code, relating to Permitted Accessory Uses within the R-1 Single -Family Residential District Mounds View Planning Commission Regular Meeting March 17, 2021 Page 3 Community Development Director Sevald stated during the Planning Commission's March 3rd meeting, the Commission discussed amending the Zoning Code to clarify the allowance of Home Occupations to operate in Accessory Buildings. In attendance was Kurtis Barbeau, 8375 Sunnyside Road, who wishes to construct an accessory building to grow vegetables commercially. The Zoning Code specifically prohibits commercial greenhouses in the R-1 district. Home Occupations is the use of a home for a business. The intent is that the property is primarily used as a residence, and its use by the business is secondary. The current Ordinance is not clear regarding the use of Accessory Buildings (e.g. garage) as a Home Occupation. The proposed amendment provides clarity, in addition to fixing a couple of other items: 1. Deletes the prohibition of non-commercial greenhouses in Residential districts. 2. Allows up to two roomers or boarders in Residential districts, to be consistent with Chapter 1012 of the City Code (e.g. Rental License regulations). Community Development Director Sevald explained staff informally inquired with neighboring city planners as to their regulations of Home Occupations. Staff commented further on the Ordinance amendment and recommended approval as requested. Commissioner Farmer asked if there was a further definition for conservatory within City Code. Community Development Director Sevald reported there was no further definition. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Stevenson/Commissioner Munson. To approve Resolution 1132-21, a Resolution Recommending Approval of Ordinance 975, Amending Title 1100, Chapters 1106 of the Mounds View City Code Relating to "Home Occupations". A roll call vote was taken. Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried. 6. Other Planning Activity None. 7. Reports A. Upcoming Planning Cases & Activity Community Development Director Sevald discussed upcoming planning cases with the Commission. He explained staff received a request from Caribou Coffee to subdivide a lot from the movie theater parking lot. Mounds View Planning Commission Regular Meeting March 17, 2021 Page 4 B.
