INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 8, 1983 '
T0: Councilman Fletcher, Chairman of th�: City Development and
Transportation Committee
FROM: Thomas R. Zahn, City Planner��%�/
RE: Grand Avenue East 40-Acrz Study
On March 3, 1983 the City Council held a public hearing or� the rezonings
proposed in the Grand Avenue East 40-Acre Study. At that time there were
objectio�s t� the rezoning of three properties at 733, 734, and 825 Grand
Avenue from 6-=3 (General Business) to B-2 (Community Business) . The
Council at that time decided that no action should be taken until a
compromise solution could be reached between the property owners of these
three parcels and the Grand Avenue Task Force.
S���ce that time the affected property owners and Task Force representatives
have worked to reach a compromise which would ailoti� the �roperties to
� retain the B-•3 zoning while limiting their reuse �ith r�strictivP
�ovenants. The parcels under the covenant wou'ld be "restricted from use
for the operation of a mortuary, drive-in restauT�ant, motel ,
greenhouse/nursery, or drive-in car wash." All other B-3 uses would bE
allowed.
The respective property owners have recorded with the County Recorder, the
restrictive covenants for 733, 734, and �25 Grand Avenue. This action was
supported by the Grand Avenue Task Force and the District 16 Planning
Council .
With this issue resolved, on behalf of the Grand Avenue Task Force, I am
requesting that you reintroduce the Grand Avenue East 40-Acre Study to th�
City Counci1 for favorable action.
If you have any questions or conc�rns on this matter•, please call me at
7494, ex. 297.

Mr. Victor Tedesco, Council President &
Members of the City Council
722 City Nall
S�. Paul , MN 55102
Dear President Tedesco and Counci1 Members,
On beha1f of the Surr�nit Hi11 Association/pistrict 16, I am writing
to re-confirm .our support of the Grand Avenue Task Force-East re-
commendations-for Grand Avenue.
The Sumnit Hi11 Assaci«�ion believes passage of aTl of the Tas�.
Force recomnendations is necessary. After many �ong hours af
meetings, the Task Force was able to develop recomnen:'�tions �ha�:
are not only satisfact+�ry to both the Sumnit Hi11 Associa�ion and
GABA but, rrrore importantly, are in the very best interests of t�ie
area: Grand Av�nue is in the proc�ss of making some exci�ing
changes as it becorr�s a central shopping and restaurant dis�rict
with a distinctive h�istorical flavor. Irr order to maintain this
unique flavor, so typica1 of the area, the city- must make respcn-
sible changes in zoning codes. We fully beli�ve the recommen��-
tions of the Task Force will heip to br�ng� thi� about.
The Grand Avenue Business' Association has sent a letter to the
Mayor indicating their support of all of the Task Force-East re-
commendations. The Summit Hil1 Associat�ion is also on record as
supporting them. When agreement is so c�mplete {with both business
and residential .support) it would seem that the Council would want
to be resporrsive to the message.
Thank you for your careful consideration of this critical issue.

Dear Council Members: -
On August 27, 1982, the Planning Commission on a vote o-F 12 to 4, approved
a resolution recommending a number of zoning changes for Grand Avenue
between Dale Street and the Short Line. .
The proposed zoning code amendments are in response to a joint request
by the District 16 Planning Council and the Grand Avenue Business Association
for the City to study the land use and zoning on the Avenue. 7he City
Council initiated the 40-acre study on February 18, 1982. The proposed
rezonings have been revi�e���ed by the advisory task force, representing
District- 16 and the Grand Avenue Buslness Association, and a pub7ic hearing �
!� - was held before the Planning Commission on August 13, 1932.
The only point of disagreement between the proposal of the Grand Avenue
Task Force and the recommendations of the Planning Commission concerns
the properties of 733, 734 and 835 G rand Avenue. The Grand Avenue Task
Force recommended a rezoning from 8-3 to B-2 for these three properties.
Mr. Hess Kline and Mr. George Buck, the owners of these properties,
object to the rezoning to B-2.
I fiave met with tv�ro representatives of the Grand Avenue Task Force,
' ' Bob Casselman and Augie Caron, along with Mr. Ness Kline, to discuss their .
differences of opinion. The Task Force supports B-2 zoning, which would
permit office, retail , restaurant, or mixed use development. They do
nat supporz B-3 zoning, �which permits auto oriented d�velopment, such � -
as auto sales and service or fas� foad res�aurants. Mr. Kline objects -_
to B-2 zoning which he views as a down-zoning and an arbitrary reduction
,� in the value of his property. He believes that the Task Force's recommendation
accommodates all property owners' concerns along the Avenue, except ,
his and those of Mr. Buck, At the same time, Mr. Kline has stated his
� commitment to the Task Force and to me to pursue development that H�ould
� be accepta5le to the neighborhood, He has said that he ���ill not seek
a fast food restaurant development. He has also said that when he has
� � a project in mind, he will consult v�ith the city staff and the neighborhood.
, i He believes that there is a 99% chance that the development ultimately
� proposed H�ill be acceptable to both the neighborhood and himself.

Dear Council Members:
On August 27, 1982, the Planning Commission on a vote of 12 to 4, approved
a resolution recommending a number of zoning changes for Grand Avenue
between Dale Street and the Short Line.
The proposed zoning code amendments are in response to a joint request

Cauncil initiated the 40-acre study on February 18, 1982. The preposed
rezonings have been revi�ewed by th� advisory task force, representing
District- 16 and the Grand Avenue Business Association, and a public hearing
was held before the Planning Commission on August 13, 1982.
The only point of disagreement between the proposal of the Grand Avenue
Task Force and the recommendations of the Planning Commission concerns
the properties of 733, 734 and 835 G rand Avenue. The Grand Avenue TasE:
Force recommended a rezoning from B-3 to B-2 for these three properties.
Mr. Hess Kline and Mr. George Buck, the owners of these properties,

I have met with two representatives of the Grand Avenue Task Force,
Bob Casselman and Augie Caron, along with Mr. Ness Kline, to discuss their
diffQrences of opinion. The Task Force supports B-2 zoning, which would
permit office, retail , restaurant, or mixed use development. They do �
not s�uppori 3-3 zoning, which permits auto oriented development, such
as auto sales and service or fast food restaurants. Mr. Kline objects
to B-2 zoning which he views as a down-zoning and an ar6itrary reduction
in the value of his property. He believes that the Task Force's recor�mendation

Given my discussion with the Task Force representatives and Mr. Kline,
I am comfortable in supporting the recommendation of the Planninq Co�ranission

of the Planning Commission with my recanmendation for your review and

� GRAND AVENUE EAST 40-ACRE STUDY
INTRODUCTION - On February 18, 1982, the City Council adopted
Resolution #278281 , initiating a 40-Acre Study for Grand
. Avenue under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section
_ 462.357, Subd. 5. The purpose of this study is to pre-
serve the unique residential and commercial character of
Grand Avenue.
The Grand Avenue Task Force, made up of representatives
of the District 16 Planning Council and the Grand Avenue
Business Association, met bi-weekly for four months to
consider land use and transportation issues along Grand
Avenue between Dale Street and the Short Line. The
recorr�nendations of the task force make up this 40-acre
study.
MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS 1 . Creation of a new zoning district: B-2C Community
Business (converted). The purpose of this district
is to promote commercial expansion into business-zoned
residential structures while maintaining the residen-
tial appearnace of the structure and requiring off-
street parking for employees. Certain business uses
that generate a lot of traffic, such as restaurants
and bars, are excluded from this district. All uses
except residential uses require a Special Condition -
Use Permit.
2. Revision of Zoning Maps numbered 19 and 20 to conform
to Zoning Map Number 27. Currently there are dis-
crepancies between map 27 and the others.

6. STAFF INUESTIGATION & REPORT: DATE 7/7/82 BY Patricia N. James
A. PURPOSE: To provide appropriate zoning classifications and to change zoning of selected
p�r�s alon� Grand Av�nue in or��r to pr�s�rve tY�e uni�u� �h�rd��er of this �omm�rciai-
residential �tir��t. To correc� err�rs in zoning m�ps.
B. STUDY INITIATION: On February 18, 1982, Resolution #278281 was adopted by the City
Council . This resolution initiated a 40-Acre Study for both sid.es of Grand Aven�ae.
This study reports on that portion of Grand Avenue from Dale Street to the Short Line
Railroad bridge.
C. 40 ACRF STUDY: Minnesota Statutes Section 462.357 , Subd. 5 permits St. Paul to amend
its oning Code without obtaining consent petitions when all of the following conditions
are met:
1 . The whole area of the city or an area of not less than 40 acres has been surveyed.
2. The number of real estate descriptions affected by zoning changes and alterations
renders the obtaining of written consent impractical .
3. The planning commission reports in writing as to the proposals' relationship to
the overall needs of the community, to existing land use or to a plan for future
land use.
4. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance, changes, or alterations is conducted,
with notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing published at least once
d week for three successive weeks prior to the public hearing.
D. FINDINGS:
1 . The area of Grand Avenue included in this survey is 57.5 acres. In addition, the
proposed new zoning district is citywide in scope.
2. A total of 77 real estate descriptions will be rezoned by this study in addition
to the text and map changes, making it impractical to obtain w ritten consent.
3. The proposed changes relate to the overall needs of the communi'ty as expressed in
Land Use Plan policy 4.2-4, which states: "The City will continue to monitor
commercial t rends and adjust its land use policies to remain abreast of changes
affecting the character of commercial areas and adjacent neighborhoods. "
4. The proposed changes relate to existing land use. Land Use Plan policy 4.2-5
states : The City will continue ta review its present commercial zoning to e�sure
that: (1 ) each zoning classification reflects uses appropriate to the intended
application of that district ; and (2) each commercial area is appropriately zoned
for its intended function. " Cm e of the goals of the District 16 Plan is to
facilitate neighborhood business development at appropriate locations along Grand
Avenue and to discourage g-3 zoning. In seeking to fulfill these goals and policies,
� this study has found that while zoning changes have been few (three in seven years) ,
chanqes in the types of uses along Grand have been significant. In 1975, 52% of
the land along Grand Avenue was in residential use and 46% was in business use.
By 1982, 46�� of the land was in residential use and 49� in business use. This
chang� was caused by the cor�version of B-2 zoned single family and duplex structures
to busiriess u�es, and �it has been accompanied by incre�s�d traffic and a shortage
of parkiny. The praposed changes will revise the zoning ordinance to conserve
the mixed use character of Grand Avenue, to rezone p•roperties to reflect their
cGrrent �ase, and to provide ac�d�itional parking.

GRAND AVENUE EAST 40-ACRE STUDY STAFF REPORT PAGE 1tiJ0
D. FINDINGS : (continued)
5. The study relates to existing lan d use by examining discrepancies in the
official zoning maps. Maps numbered 19, 20, and 27 all include Grand Avenue.
� On the north block faces f rom Dale to the Short Line , there are a number of
� discrepancies between the three �maps. The same property is shown as having
different zoning. This study will recommend a solution for these
differences.
� 6. The study reiates to plans for futu re land use regarding compatible mixing of
residential and business uses as stated in Land Use Plan policy 4.2-2: "The
City will encourage the development of compatible mixed uses along existing�
commercial strips by: . . . (4) modifying current land use regulatory provisions
_ to permit appropriate flexibility in the reuse of land and structu res."
: . -
7. Legal notice of the public hearing scheduled before the Planning Comnission
. on August 13, 1982 , was published on July 23,30 and August 6, 1982. In addition,
hearing notices were sent to the owners of property to be rezoned.
8. The proposed changes to the Zoning Code a re based on recommendations of the
Grand Avenue Task Force, an ad hoc group comprised of inembers of the �
Saint Paul Planning Commission, the District 16 Planning Council , and the
Grand Avenue Business Association. The Task Force unanimously supports
the recomnendations of this 40 acre study. .

Saint Paul Zoning Code: •
1 . Creation of a new zoning district specifically for contrnlling the conversion

GRANO AVENUE EAST 40 ACRE STUDY
REPORT BRIEF
PROBLEM Since the adoption of the 1975 Zoning Ordinance, Grand Avenue has
gone through many land use changes. The exodus of automotive sales
and repair uses from Grand Avenue has left ma�or parcels vacant and
inappropriately zoned for a compatible commercial-residential
mix.
In addition, the recent rennaissance of comnercial growth has created
same severe parking shortages along major segments of the Avenue. �
RESEARCH City staff conducted extensive research into land use, transportation,
AND CITIZEN parking issues, business owner, manager zoning preferences, the effects
PARTICIPATION of additional business development, and conformance of the various
zoning regulations to the Comprehensive Plan. The result of this
research was presented to the Grand Avenue Task Force, representing
the Summit Hill Association/District 16 Planning Council, and the '
Grand Avenue Business Rssociation. After discussions of the findings
and active participation by the affected property owners, the Grand '-
Avenue Task Force unanimously supported the following recomnendations.
RECOMMENDATIONS In keeping with the .intent of �the 1975 Zoning Ordinance, the direction
of the Comprehensive Plan components, the comnercial trends over � .
the last seven years, and the mandate of the business comnunity,
the Grand Avenue Task Force recomnends that the city rezone from
B-3 to B-2 th�se properties: (1) that are now vacant; and (2) that
presently have a B-2 or less use.
�
In keeping with the intent of the 1975 Zoning Ordinance to provide
the opportunity for commercial expansion into one and two family
structures, and at the same time make provisions for additional parking
generated by new comrnercial uses, the Grand Avenue Task Force recommends
that the city rezone the B-2 properties presently used for residential -
to a less intensive zoning category.
' GRAND AVENUE EAST 40 ACRE STUOY
TASK FORCf REPORT
Upon the �oint request of the Summit Hill Association/District 16 Planning Council
and the Grand Avenue Business Association, the City Cauncil initiated the Grand Avenue
East 40 Acre Study on February 18, 1982, (C.F. �278281). The request was made by
the neighborhood organizations because land uses along Grand Avenue had changed and
city plans which guide future land use had been adopted since the approval in 1975
of the city Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of this report is to recomnend to the
City Council whether the zoning districts along Grand Avenue should be amended to
reflect those changes in land use and recently adopted plans.
The Grand Avenue Task Force, a coalition of the residential and business comnunities
metfor four months to develop the rezoning recomnendations. On June 29, 1982, the
Task Force, chaired by David Lanegran of the Planning Comnission, voted unanimously
to support the recommendations in this report.

TASK FORCE REPORT
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. 40 Acre Studies and Zoning
The State Municipal Planning Statutes Section 462.357 (5) allows cities of
the first class, which includes St. Paul, to initiate a survey, conducted
through their Planning Comnission, of the whole city or of any area not less
than 40 acres for the purpose of recorr�nending that the City Council rezone
portions of the city.
Since zoning guides development and influences future land use, the 40 acre
study process provides City Planning Comnission and the City Council with
some control over development and future land uses. This control can then
be used to resolve existing or potential land use conflicts.
B. Zoning History
_ Prior to 1975 Grand Avenue, from Dale Street to the Short Line, was zoned
"Comnercial District". The only exception to this zoning was a parcel of
land to the northwest of the Grand Avenue and Lexington Parkway intersection,
_ which was zoned "C" Residential, in keeping with the classification on Lexington
Parkway.
With the fine tuning of the zoning categories and the new Zoning Ordinance
of 1975, the east end of Grand Avenue was zoned into three categories: RM-
2, Multi-family; B-2, Community Business; and B-3, General Business. The
actual zoning per parcel was determined by the following criteria:
Properties used or constructed as multi-family, buildings containing
three or more housing units, were zoned RM-2. This zoning was to ensure
continued residential use on part of Grand Avenue.
Properties used by businesses which were only permitted in the B-3 zoning
category, were zoned B-3. This zoning allowed auto dealers, auto related
uses, mortuaries, and other B-3 uses to remain on Grand Avenue as conforming
uses, but eliminated the expansion of B-3 uses to other parcels along
the Avenue.
All other business properties were zoned B-2. This zoning decision recognized
Grand Avenue as a retail/office/residential mixed strip.
Properties constructed and used as one or two family residences were
also zoned B-2. This zoning reiterated the intent of retail/office uses
on Grand Avenue and gave small businesses flexibility and expansion potential.
: Between 1975 and 1982 zoning remained relatively unchanged. �nly three parcels
were rezoned. All three were rezoned from residential to office/retail.
C. Description of Grand Avenue East
The Grand Avenue East area is defined by Dale Street to the east, the Short
Line railroad bridge �to the west, and the parallel alleys to the north and
south of the Avenue. The area of the survey is approximately 57.5 acres.

II. PROBLEM DISCUSSION
Since 1915 Grand Avenue has gone through many land use and comnercial changes.
The most obvious change being the exodus of the automobile dealerships to the
suburban ring. This departure left many parcels of land and garage structures
vacant along the eastern end of the Avenue. The majority of the vacated garages
have been converted to specialty comnercial reuse, however, three major parcels
of land still remain vacant and inappropriately zoned for a compatible commercial-
residential mix.
The adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in 1975 set Grand Avenues future as a residential-
commercial mix strip. The zoning along the Avenue retained the multi-family
buildings for residential use and encouraged retail/office expansion into the
duplex and single family structures. This expansion, however, has caused a severe
parking shortage on major segments of the Avenue. Under the present B-2 zoning,
no additional off-street parking is required for the reuse of an existing building.
The greatest parking shortfall occurs in those areas where the majority of duplex
and single-family structures have been converted to a commercial reuse--between
Dale and Avon Street.

III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY {
A. Land Use and Zoning �
i
In February 1982, Planning staff conducted a field survey of entire Grand j
Avenue East area to determine the current land uses of all properties. It
was determined that land use along Grand Avenue is almost entirely divided
between residential and business with a small portion vacant. However, between �
1975 and 1982 the Avenue changed from being predominantly residential to �
being predominantly commercial and the vacant land increased by 3% (see Table 1). ;
�

Total 1,779,750 100 1,779,750 100 �

The gain in commercial land use was accomplished by changing residential �
buildings entirely or partially to business. In 1975, the 129 buildings '-
were used entirely for residential use: in 1982, only 113 were used entirely �
for residential, a decline of 16. At the same time, housing units were increased
i
823 to 844. The increase is the result of a new condominium constructed '
at Grotto and Grand.
Coordinated with the land use survey, the Planning staff reviewed the zoning i
and zoning changes along the Avenue as they related to the land use trends. '
From 1975 to present the zoning along the eastern end of Grand Avenue has i
remained relatively unchanged. Only three parcels were rezoned--two parcels j
were rezoned from RM-2 to OS-1, and one parcel was rezoned from RM-2 to B- {
2 (see Table 2). ;

In comparing the zoning with the land use, it was determined that between
1975 and 1982, retail/office land use increased in both the 6-2 and 6-3 zoning
districts, and the auto/wholesale land use decreased substantially (see Tables 3
and 4).

In the B-2 district, retail/office increased by 72,000 sauare feet or 15%.
As noted, the increase is the result of changing residential buildings to
business use. In the B-3 district auto/wholesale decreased 150 450 s uare
feet or 59�. Retail/office increased s uare ee an t e vacant
_ and by 5 , square feet. This c ange occurre ecause t e land formerly
used by three auto dealers has been changed to shopping malls, an opera company
headquarters, or is now vacant (see Table 5).

Business trends indicate that between 1975 and 1982, the number of businesses
along the Avenue have increased by 51 or 45%. During this same period, s ecp ,ial�
businesses increased the reatest with a ain of 46 or 135X. Specialty comnercial
is now the predominant ind of usiness on ran venue.

6. Parking
Coordinated with the land use and zoning studies, the Planning staff determined
the number and location of on and off-street parking spaces along the Avenue.
_ This information (see Appendix) was used to evaluate the parking shortfall
by block caused by rapid commercial expansion on Grand.
. Parking deficiencies were tabulated by comparing the existing parking with '
the required parking under the present zoning code. It was determined that !
all blocks had parkinq deficiencies, with the most severe s ort a s beinq
between Dale and Avon �treets and near the Lexin ton Avenue intersection.'� '
C. Business Owner Survey
In March through April, 1982, the Planning staff, aided by Macalester College,
conducted a corrrrnnercial survey of all businesses between Dale Street and the
Short Line. Of the 165 businesses on the Avenue, 129 surveys were completed
providing a 78� response. The survey was designed to yield the individual
owners wants and needs as well as gauge the overall comnercial climate on
the Avenu?. The typical survey respondent would be capsulited as follows:
The business located on Grand because it was seen as a viable corrmercial
area surrounded by an attractive historic neighborhood. Their customers
are drawn both from the adjacent neighborhoods and the greater metropolitan
area. They have made major improvements to their physical plant within
the past two years and feel that these improvements have made their business
more profitable. They feel a need for more on and off-street parking
and see a need for visual and design improvements along the Avenue.
They consider 6-3 uses as detrimental to the Avenue not providing their
businesses with additional customers. They would like to see the vacant
_ buildings used for retail/office and the vacant land used for parking.

D. Conformance to the Comprehensive Plan
In order to adequately assess the rezoning recommendations for the Grand
Avenue East Study, the Land Use and District 16 components of the Comprehensive
Plan were reviewed. In addition, the District 16 Housing Plan of the City's
Implementation Strategy was reviewed for confarmance.
The Land Use component of the Comprehensive Plan offers direction for an
appropriate mix of land uses and establishes city policy for monitoring change
in commercial uses.
MIXED USE STRIPS: St. Paul 's comnercial strips developed along the trolley
lines established in the late 1800s. They have always contained a mixture
of uses from housing to office, comnercial or even light industrial uses.
As retail marketing methods have changed, the commercial activities on
some mixed use strips have declined. On others it is growing. The strips
function best when they retain a mix of uses--retail, general commercial,
office and residential. The initial attraction for all these uses was
the close access to transportation. The same is true today. In some
cases the mixing of uses on the strips has been haphazard causing conflicts
between adjoining uses. To be successful, mixing of uses should be inten-
tionally planned. City regulatory controls and fiscal incentives should
be aimed toward achieving a compatible mix of activities.
POLICY (4.2-2) : The city will encourage the development of compatible
mixed uses along existing commercial strips by: (1) developing specific
land use plans; (2) developing design and performance controls; (3) ,
continuing technical and financial assistance to small businesses; and
(4) modifying current land use regulatory provisions to permit appropriate
flexibility in the reuse of land and structures.
MONITORING CHANGES: Comnercial trends and market directions have changed
dramatically in St. Paul since its initial development. They can be
expected to change again. In general, St. Paul must remain informed
about changes in retailing practices in order to respond effectively
to them. In this way the City can plan to accomnodate changes in land
use caused by commercial trends.
POLICY (4.2-4) : The City will continue to monitor comnercial trends
and adjust its land use policies to remain abreast of changes affecting
the character of commercial areas and adjaeent neighborhoods.
Zoning processes must also be monitored to maintain an up-to-date Ordinance
that reflects commercial needs. The amount of land available for commercial
uses is controlled by zoning. Zoning also regulates the placement of
particular businesses at certain locations through the use of certain
districts. Zoning which is inappropriate, either because of uses permitted
or because of application of a certain zone at a certain location, can
hurt commercial development by precluding appropriate businesses or allowing
inappropriate ones. The zoning classification should provide enough
flexibility to be applied suitably in a number of local situations.
8
POLICY (4.2-5) : The City will continue to review its present comnercial
zoning to ensure that: (1) each zoning classification reflects uses
appropriate to the intended application of that district; and (2) each
comnercial area is appropriately zoned for its intended function.
The District 16 Plan component points out the inappropriateness of B-3 zoned
land on Grand Avenue.
CURRENT PROBLEMS: B-3 zoning discourages neighborhood oriented husiness
development.
GOAL: To facilitate neighborhood business development at appropriate
points on the Avenue.
PROPOSAL: There are three empty lots on the Avenue zoned 6-3. The B-
3 designation has caused them to be priced so high as to discourage develop-
ment of these lots in a manner which would be in keeping with the character
of the street. It is a waste of land in an area already short of space.
No addition of land within the district should be zoned 6-3.
RELATED PLAN COMPONENTS: The District 16 component of the District Hausing
' Plan identifies two of the B-3 zoned vacant parcels for a residential over
commercial reuse.

IV. ISSUES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. B-3 Zoned Property
The Zoning Ordinance of 1975 clearly intended to establish Grand Avenue as
a retail/office/residential mix strip. The B-3 zoning was only designated
for those properties with B-3 uses. In effect the Ordinance served to contain
any expansion of B-3 uses while providing ample growing space for B-2 on
the Avenue.
In addition, the comnercial trend, a 59X decrease in auto related uses in
the B-3 zoned districts and a 135% increase in specialty comnercial uses
since 1975, present a convincing case for rezoning B-3 parcels along the
Avenue. In support of this trend, the early returns on the questionaire
showed that 55� of business owners and managers on the eastern end of Grand
Avenue feel that B-3 uses are detrimental to Grand Avenue. The majority
of business owners feel that the types of businesses allowed in B-3 zones
do not provide them with customers or provide a good tenant mix.
The question remains, how far to go in the rezoning of B-3 properties. Clearly,
the vacant B-3 parcels (all four parcels have been vacant for over a year)
and those B-3 zoned parcels presently used for retail/office functions should
be rezoned. This recommendation is consistent with the questionaire results.
However, a recomnendation to rezone the existing 6-3 to 6-2 would make a .
number of businesses nonconforming. If trends continue, however, the remaining
B-3 uses (with the exception of the mortuary) will slowly be replaced with
retail/office uses. �
Therefore, this Task Force recomnends: In keeping with the intent of the
1975 Zoning Ordinance, the direction of the Comprehensive Plan components,
the comnercial trends over the last seven years, and the mandate of the business
community, the city should rezone from 6-3 to B-2 those properties; (1) that
are now vacant, and (2) that presently have a B-2 or less use.
B. B-2 Zoned Residential Property
There are 41 one and two family structures zoned 62 which have not been converted
to 6-2 uses on the eastern end of Grand Avenue. These structures have remained
in residential use and have been, for the most part, well maintained. (A
housing condition survey of all residential structures on the eastern portion
of Grand indicated that those structures zoned B-2 but still in residential
use were better maintained than those in commercial use.) The majority of
these properties are located west of Victoria. From Dale Street to Victoria,
there are only two properties zoned 6-2 which have not been converted to
that use. In contrast, from Victoria to the Short Line there are 39 properties
which could be converted to a B-2 use.
Over the past seven years, 16 residential structures have been totally or
partially converted to a commercial use. In addition to these conversions,
several auto related structures have been converted to commercial use. These
factors, added to the effect of "selling" of Grand Avenue as a specialty .
center for the metro area, have led to increased traffic volumes and severe
parking shortages along the strip.
10
An analysis of the parking needs indicates that the greatest shortages for
both residential and commercial uses are between Dale and Avon Street. The
conversions of structures without adequate parking into restaurant/ retail
have aggravated an already problematic situation.
The only other off-street parking shortfall is between Oxford and mid-block
beyond Lexington. This is due to the intensity of the commercial buildup
around the Lexington and Grand intersection. This shortfall is not a recent
development, however, conversions around the intersection have certainly
complicated the problem.
Incubator theory: properties constructed as one or two family residences
and zoned 6-2 in the Zoning Ordinance of 1975, would serve as incubators
for new business on Grand providing inexpensive rental space for comnercial
growth. The recent business survey compared the business in residential
structures with the business in comnercial structures.
Residential Comnercial
Structures Structures
� . New business on Grand 70% 60%
. Rent/square foot $.60 $.53
. Same--less profitable than 2 years ago 59� 47�
' These figures (based on those businesses answering the specific question)
indicate that there is no major difference between the two types of struc-
, ture/uses as far as the percentage of new business, or the rent per square
foot. However, the figures show that the commercial uses in residential
structures saw themselves as significantly less profitable than those in
commercial structures.
In addition, the survey indicated a direct correlation between the need for
parking and the concept of profitability. The majority of blocks which showed
a large parking shortfall also showed a lack of profitability over the past
two years.
The rezoning of these 41 properties to B-1, OS-1, RM-2, or less would prevent
the conversion of additional residential structures into restaurants, or
shops. However, from the parking perspective, many of the uses al7owed in
B-1 and OS-1, such as hardware stores, or real estate offices, could generate
an equally severe parking need. Therefore, to be effective in controlling
any additional need for parking, these 41 properties would have to be rezoned
to a residential zoning category.
The creation of a new district (6-2 Conversion) with an off-street parking
requirement would limit additional parking shortfalls along the Avenue.
In addition, the new district designation could provide commercial expansion
space, control alterations to structure facades, and limit the amount and
type of commercial uses allowed.
11
P S .
Therefore, this Task Force recommends: In keeping with the intent of the
1975 Zoning Ordinance to provide the opportunity for commercial expansion
into one and two family structures, and at the same time, make provisions
for additional parking generated by new commercial uses, the city should
establish a new zoning category defined as follows:
1 . Objectives:
a. To create a specialty business-residential district.
b. To encourage specialty business which do not generate large amounts
of traffic.
c. To provide off-street parking for employees and dwelling units which
change in use from residential to business or business-residential.
d. To retain residential building forms and open space.
2. Principal uses permitted:
a. One, two and multiple family uses.
b. Minimum lot width and area:
1. One family--40 feet and 5,000 square feet.
2. Two family--40 feet and 6,000 square feet.
3. Multiple family--as regulated in the RM-2 district
3. Principal uses permitted subject to special conditions:
a. All principal uses permitted in the B-1 and B-2 district, except
restaurants, bars, private clubs, fraternal organizations, lodge
halls, theaters, assembly halls, concert halls subject to the following: '
1. For new buildings and land uses, and for existing buildings in
which the use changes, off-street parking shall be provided as ,
follows:
a. Residential use--as required by existing regulations. (This
will be one space for a one-family, three spaces for a two
family, and 12 spaces for each dwelling unit in a multiple
family building.)
b. Non-residential--one space for each 300 square feet of usable
floor space.
4. Height and yard requirements for new and existing buildings are:
a. Height: 3 stories or 40 feet.
b. Yard: Front--the average of existing front yards within the district
within the block.
Side--Four feet.
Rear--25 feet.
5. Off-street parking lots shall be located as follows:
a. Off-street parking spaces shall not be located within a front yard
and may be located within two feet of a side lot line.
b. On lots without principal buildings, at least one access from the
street shall be provided.
6. On lots with principal buildings, an open space, 600 square feet shall
be provided to the rear of the building, for recreation space, drainage,
and snow storage.
