MEMORANDUM To:Saint Anthony Village Mayor and City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:October 14, 2025 GC Project No.140.01 – 25.04 Property Location:3901 Foss Road, Suite D; PID: 31-30-23-41-0008 Request: Resolution 2025-066 - CUP for Catering in L-I, Light Industrial District BACKGROUND The applicant is a coffee service catering provider seeking approval to relocate to an industrial building at 3901 Foss Road. The applicant would occupy a portion of the existing building, approximately 1,400 square feet. The total building square footing is approximately 12,000 square feet. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this CUP at its regular meeting on September 16, 2025. The applicant answered questions, clarifying that there will be no retail sales at the site, and that their coffee roaster occupies the adjoining suite in the same building, and that this applicant will not do roasting in their facility. There were no members of the public in attendance. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Conditional Use Permit with the conditions proposed by staff. CITY COUNCIL ACTION The City Council may consider adoption of Resolution 25-066, approving the Conditional Use Permit for a catering use at 3901 Foss Road, Suite D, for Coffee Cart MPLS. GENERAL INFORMATION Catering operations are allowed in the L-I district by Conditional Use Permit. The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit requirement for food-service related businesses is common to review sanitary sewer and water needs, for which food operations can be prodigious users. In this case, the coffee business is less likely to raise these issues, but additional review from Public Works will regulate this aspect of the business use if determined necessary. From a land use standpoint, there would not appear to be any significant impacts on the surrounding area. ANALYSIS The zoning ordinance lists the following required findings for consideration of a Conditional Use Permit: (C) City Council action. A conditional use permit may be granted only by a majority vote of all members of the City Council after determining that: (1) The use is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the district in which the property is located; (2) The City Council has specified all conditions which the City Council deems necessary to make the use compatible with other uses in the area. 23
