O1-123-422, made application 3 to the Saint Paul Planning Commission (hereinafter, the "Commission") for a special condition 4 use permit to operate a transitional housing facility for 13 adult residents and minor children in 5 their care, for properry commonly known as 740 Dayton Avenue and legally described as Lots 1 6 and 2, Block 6, Nininger & Donnelly's Addition to Holcombe's Addition; and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 WHEREAS, on January 4, 2001, the Commission's zoning committee conducted a public hearing after having provided notice to affected properry owners. The Commission, based upon the following findings and conclusions, as set forth in its Resolution no. 00-06, adopted February 9, 2001, granted the application subject to the condition that the use is reviewed during the winter or spring of 2002 for the purposes of determining what impact the use has had on pazking and to further determine if additional conditions aze necessary to regulate off-street pazking or otherwise limit the number of cars associated with the use: A. Section 60.433(2) permits transitional housing facilities serving seven (7) to sixteen (16) adult facility residents and minor children in their care in the RT-2 zoning district subject to the following: 1. It shall not be located in a two family or multifamily dwelling unless the facility occupies the entire structure. This condition is met. The proposed facility would occupy the entire multifamily structure. 2. A minimum distance of one thousand three hundred twenty (1, 320) radial feet from other transitional housing or shelters for battered persons, licensed human service community residential facilities, license correctional community residential facflities, emergency housing, health department-Zicensed community residential facilities or overnight shelters. This condition is met. PED records of residential facilities with either licenses or some prior zoning approval indicate that there are no such facilities within 1320 feet of 740 Dayton Avenue. The closest faciliry is 565 Dayton, which is 1880 feet away. CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA at-�.3o 2 3. One (I) off-street parking space for every two (2) facility residents. 3 4 This condition is not met. The building has no off=street pazking spaces. 5 StafFrecommends modificarion of the condirion for the following reasons: 7 l. The e�sting building has never had off-street pazking and there is no alley 8 access to the building. 9 10 2. The property is located on a corner, and theze is sufficient on-street pazking in 11 the area. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 4. It shall not be located in a planning district in which one (1) percent or more of the population Zives in licensed human service community residential facilities, Zicensed correctioreal community residential facilities, health department-licensed community residential facilities, emergency housing facilities, overnight shelters, shelters for battered persons and/or transitional housing facilities. This condition is met. With the closing of Dayton House, a 26-bed facility previously in the building, there aze 139 beds in the Summit Universiry (District 8) community. That is 0.76% of the population —less than one percent. Adding the 13 beds proposed for this facility would result in there being 152 beds in the planning district — or 0.83°/a. 5. Permfssion for special condition use applies only as long as the number offacility residents is not increased and its purpose or location do not change and other conditions of the permit are met. The applicant understands this condition. B. Section 64300(d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. This condition is met. The Saint Paul Housing Plan and the Saint Paul / Ramsey County Five-Year Housing and Homeless Services Plan both call for the development of 250 units of transitional housing serving single adults, families and youth. 2. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traff c congestion in the public streets. This condition is met. The proposed use is not expected to generate significant traffic. There are no alleys or driveways that would affect tr�c circulation in the area. 3. The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. This condition is met. The use will fit into an existing structure that has served as a community residential facility for twice as many residents for a number of years. ai- 33a 2 Residents will be serviced by supportive services through the Antioch Christian 3 Center located neazby. The intensity ofthe use (13 adult facility residents) will be 4 similar to that of a 4-plex that would be a permitted use in the district. 4. The use wi11 not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 This condition is met. The azea has a number of vacant pazcels that would benefit from this building being fully occupied and managed by a community-based orgauization. 5. The use shaZ1, in a11 other respects, conform to the applicable regulations ofthe district in which it is Zocated. With the exception of the off=street pazking requirement discussed above, the use conforms to all applicable regulations. C. Section 64300(fl of the zoning code states, "The planning commission, after public hearing, may modify any or a11 special conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of properry or an existing shucture and would result in exceptional undue hazdship to the owner of such properiy or structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfaze of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent properiy." The property never had on-site parking, and there is no alley. Conshucting on-site pazking would be very costly due to the difference in grade, and the church has limited funding resources. The property is located on a corner, and has eight on-street parking spaces. There are many vacant parceis and buildings in the area, and there is no plan to develop them in the near future.

Code § 64.206, Rick Igo, duly filed with the City Clerk an appeal from the determination made by the Planning Commission, requesting that a hearing be held before the City Council for the purpose of considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and WHEREAS, Acting pursuant to Leg.

Following is a summary of Mr. Igo's four main points together with a response b}• zoning staft. � l. In fiirding tl:at the 1310 foot separatia� reguirenient for tr housiTrg facitities serving more tAarz 7 adrdt residents artd lice�rsed commiu:iry residential facilities is �r:et, the PZa�:i:ing Comn:issioit Resokuion states tleat d:e closest facilitj• is l880 feet aivay at 565 Dayton. The appellcuu states lhat 565 Dayto�t is currently a siagle family l:on:e, and has not been a conumotity residential faciliry for n:ore than tkree years. The appellcznt a[so contends that in addition to jacilities rhat /tave specinl permits or licenses, the distarice requirement should also apply to u•ansitional l:ousingfaeilities serving fow• or feu•er adtdu. Resnonse: 565 Dayton is not on the list of current transitional housing and community residential facilities. Staff erred in using an old map that has �65 Dayton on it. The closest facility is actually even farther a�vay: Pineview Residence at 69 IvT. n4ilton is 2360 feet a�vay. Thus, with the closing of the facility at 565 Dayton, the proposed facility at 740 Dayton is ecen more conformine with the minimum distance requirement. Bzcause uansitional housing facilities servins four or fe�ver adult residents are permitted uses with no separation requirement from larger transitional housing facilities, it follows that transitional housing facilities servin� 7 to 16 adult residents can be established �vith no separation requirement from facilities senina four or fewer adult residents. This �aas the clear intent �vhen the Zonine Code requirements �vere adopted. Because transitional housing facilities servin� four or fewer adult residents require no special permits or licenses, they can be established �vithout City l�o�aledee, and the City does not track their locations. If someone proposing a facility serving five or more adult residents �ti to lmow the location of facilities serving four or fewer residents, thz City «ould not have that information. u Dan Bostrom and members of the City Council Zoning File # O 1-123-422 February 20, 2001 � Page 2 2. The appella�:t coitteieds t<iat the Plan�eing Comir:issio�e erred ift findi�tg tlaat the conditiore for a masin:uui of oire percent of plm�riing district populafion in this type ojfaciliry is met, and that lra�rsitiorial hoersi�:g facilities serving foa�r or feiver adulu shotrZd be inckrded irt rriaki�tg this deterrnirratiorr. He ezpresses concern tha[ a totivnhouse project, for example, cocdd have rnore than one u•ansitionat l:ousixg facility wit3:out being included in the percentage calcedation as loizg as each facility serves four or fewer adtdt resiclents. Resnonse: Because transitional housing facilities serving four or fewer adult residents are permitted uses with no percentage of population requirement, it follows that such facilities would not be inchided in the caiculation of the percentage of dishict population living in licensed community residential facilities, transitional housing facilities ser� in� five or more adult residents, and other similar facilities requiring special permits or licenses. Because transitional housing facilities serving four or feFVer adult residenis require no special permits or licenses, they can be established without City kno�cled�e, and the City does not track their locations. 3. T/�e aypellanl takes issue u ith the state�nent in the Plmmii�� Contn�ission Resolutiwr that "the in�ensity of the use (13 adult � eside�rts) ivill be similar to tkat of a 4 ple.r that would be a pernaitted use in t/:e riish-ict. " He notes Uiat, includin; d�e rninor children i�i their care, dte proposed facilitti n ould lrare n�ore resirtents thma a normal4-ples. Resoonse: The appellant has a good point here. The sentence he disaerees with, �vhich is part of the discussion under required finding y 64300(d)(3), should not be in the resotution. The sentence is not necessary to make the required findin� that "the use �vill not be detrimental to the existing chazacter of the development in the immzdiatz neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare." The intensity of the proposed use is allowed under the RT-2 zoning of the site and area. 4. The appellmzt disagrees iritJ: tke Plarutir:g Commissia:'s finding that "the t�se wi11 not in:pede tLe normal arid w rlerelopme�it of the surroimding property� for uses pern:itted in the district. " He states t1:at an over-concerttration of this type offacility and over-occupane}� of this b«ilding woidd deter other develapers or individuals from derelopiag surroundin� vcrcarzt parcels into uses that are compatible tvith !he permitted uses of the dish Resnonse: The proposed use meet; Zonine Code requirements for separation from other similar facilities and percentaee of plannin� district population in such facilities, desi�ned to a��oid an over-concentration of such faciIities. In addition to the Special Condition Use Permit the use will require a Certificate of Occupanc}•, �vhich will specify thz total number of beds allo�ved in the facility based on Housine Code standards and an inspection by the Fire Marshall, and thus avoid over-occupancy of the building. Conclusion: The conditions impo>ed by the Zonins Code for the proposed use are rnet, except for off- street parkin�. The Plannins Commission decision to approve a Special Condition Use Permit for a transitional housin� facility sen�ing 13 adul[ residents and minor children in their care at 740 Dayton Avemie, subj ect to the condition that in �vinter-sprina 2002 the Plannin� Commission will review the use regardin� any impact relating to parking demand, and based on that recie�c may require off-street parkina or limit the number of cars associated with the use, should bz upheld. The appeal should be denied. � • � �-r...�q � �1 FQR qpf�E�.

The property never had on-site parking, and there is no atley. Constructing on-site parkin� �vould be very costly due to the difference in grade, and the church has limited fundin� resources.

Commissioner Kramer stated there were parking issaes with this case. He stated that use of tha house would chan�e from 26 handicapped residenu �vith no cliildren, �vl�ere the masimum number of residents in the buildi�g was fixed at 26. Commissioner Kramer's concern is that noGv with 13 adutt residents and minor dtildren in their care, there �vou(d be no upper limit on tlte number of children in the bui(dina. S[iould there be a directive from the Commission to ask LIEP fo establish the number of peopie that would be ailowed? Commissioner Faricy stated she had the same concerns. Commissioner Field stated that they are u�aiving the parking requirements because most of the residents will be using public transpoRation and the site is on a corner with plenty of on-street parking, so the si� spaces on site may not be necessary. They added a condition for Plannin� Commission revie�e of parkino need in one year. There is iand adjacent to [he bailding whidi they wotdd like to use for a play area, but if �ve need the parkina space they are going to have to provide it and that nia}' be ��fiere they �cil( have to provide it. Commissioner Field also stated that there »�ere four bathrooms, and ��ith li adults and their children, he ��otild like to hear from LIEP as to ho« man} people can occupy tliis bui(din�. Commissioner Atton also questioned Iro}�� man} people can occupy the buildin�. He stated that the Commission sliould deFer to L1EP. � Mr. Allan Torstenson stated that there is a Certificate of Occupancy requirement here. There are hvo clear options and both are fi»e. One �coi4d be for the Commission to direct or as[: LIEP in issuing ihe CeRificate of Occupancy (icense set a masimum. The other ��ouid be to send it back to committee so �ve sec some information from LIEP and set an upper timit in our permit. It can be done either �cay. Commissioner Gordon stated that it �vas his anderstandin� that LiEP «rould revie�v Yhe facility and make a determination as to the ma�imum number. That is ivhy he �cas comfortable not fuRher addressin� that issue at the Zonin� Cotnmittee.

Commissioner Field stated that based on tlie understandine that based on the number of restraoms and ihe size of Uie buildiii�, LIEP has criteria that they wi11 objectively will apply to this building for the Certificate of Occupanc�, he �` ill support the motion at this time.

Yang Zhang showed slides and presented the staff report. Ms. Zhang stated a letter was received by District 8 stating they support the Special Condition Use Permit. 7he Zoning Staff recommends approval of the permit with a modification fo the parking requirement. At the questior+ of Commissioner Field, Ms. Zhang explained that the only availahle history dates back to 1946 for a rooming house in a C residentiai district which is RT- 2 or RM-1. Mr. Torstenson further explained thai in 1946 the Zoning Code did not require a Speciai Condition Use Permit. At the question of Commissioner Morton, Ms. Zhang stated there would be six to seven parking spaces needed for this facility. There are currently eight on-street parking spaces availabie. Also, the building has no alley and never had parking in the past. Pastor Debra Messenger, the applicant, appeared and stated there is a need to establish transitional housing because of a housing shortage. She also explained that most people in transitionai housing do not have transportation and the bus line that is tocated one block away makes fransportation convenient for the occupants. At the question of Gommissioner Faricy, Pastor Messenger stated the occupants, consisting of families, usually stay for a period of 18 months to two years and approximately haif wouid own cars. At the question of Commissioner Kramer, Pastor Messenger expiained there would be 13 rooms at their disposa! for families with two to three children. Ms. Sheliy Brown, 670 Van Buren Avenue, explained that transitio�a! housing people do not have veh+cies of their own so being on the bus line wil! be convenient for the residents. She also stated she supports the transitional housing because of the housing shortage and if wouid be an advantage to the community. At the question of Commissioner Faricy, Ms. Brown stated it would be a hardship to create parking in the side yard but would cansider it in the future if the need arises. No one spoke in oppositian. Zoning Committee Minutes January 4, 2001 File #: 00-15-318 Page 2 The public hearing was ciosed. Commissioner Kramer asked whether handicapped parking is required in the zoning code, and staff responded that if off-street parking requirement is waived, the handicapped parking requirement wouid be waived as well. Commissioner Gordon added that handicapped parking can probably be accommodated by putting a handicapped parking sign on street. Commission Faricy expressed further concerns with the lack of off-street parking. Commissioner Field suggested that the Pianning Commission approve the speciai conditional use permitwith the condition that the Planning Commission will review the case in a year with regards to the parking dsmand, and reserves the right to enforce off-street parking. Gommissioner Kramer suggested restricting the number of cars associated with the use to 10. Commissioner Field questioned the abifity of the city to enforce that restriction. Cammissioner Faricy made a motion to approve the transitional housing faci(ity with a modification of the parking requirement subject to the condition that in winter-spring of 2002, the Pianning Commission wiif review the use regarding any impact related to parking demand, and based on that review may require off-street parking or Ilmit the number of cass associated with fhe use.

O1-123-422, made application 3 to the Saint Paul Planning Commission (hereinafter, the "Commission") for a special condition 4 use permit to operate a transitional housing facility for 13 adult residents and minor children in 5 their care, for properry commonly known as 740 Dayton Avenue and legally described as Lots 1 6 and 2, Block 6, Nininger & Donnelly's Addition to Holcombe's Addition; and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 WHEREAS, on January 4, 2001, the Commission's zoning committee conducted a public hearing after having provided notice to affected properry owners. The Commission, based upon the following findings and conclusions, as set forth in its Resolution no. 00-06, adopted February 9, 2001, granted the application subject to the condition that the use is reviewed during the winter or spring of 2002 for the purposes of determining what impact the use has had on pazking and to further determine if additional conditions aze necessary to regulate off-street pazking or otherwise limit the number of cars associated with the use: A. Section 60.433(2) permits transitional housing facilities serving seven (7) to sixteen (16) adult facility residents and minor children in their care in the RT-2 zoning district subject to the following: 1. It shall not be located in a two family or multifamily dwelling unless the facility occupies the entire structure. This condition is met. The proposed facility would occupy the entire multifamily structure. 2. A minimum distance of one thousand three hundred twenty (1, 320) radial feet from other transitional housing or shelters for battered persons, licensed human service community residential facilities, license correctional community residential facflities, emergency housing, health department-Zicensed community residential facilities or overnight shelters. This condition is met. PED records of residential facilities with either licenses or some prior zoning approval indicate that there are no such facilities within 1320 feet of 740 Dayton Avenue. The closest faciliry is 565 Dayton, which is 1880 feet away. CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA at-�.3o 2 3. One (I) off-street parking space for every two (2) facility residents. 3 4 This condition is not met. The building has no off=street pazking spaces. 5 StafFrecommends modificarion of the condirion for the following reasons: 7 l. The e�sting building has never had off-street pazking and there is no alley 8 access to the building. 9 10 2. The property is located on a corner, and theze is sufficient on-street pazking in 11 the area. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 4. It shall not be located in a planning district in which one (1) percent or more of the population Zives in licensed human service community residential facilities, Zicensed correctioreal community residential facilities, health department-licensed community residential facilities, emergency housing facilities, overnight shelters, shelters for battered persons and/or transitional housing facilities. This condition is met. With the closing of Dayton House, a 26-bed facility previously in the building, there aze 139 beds in the Summit Universiry (District 8) community. That is 0.76% of the population —less than one percent. Adding the 13 beds proposed for this facility would result in there being 152 beds in the planning district — or 0.83°/a. 5. Permfssion for special condition use applies only as long as the number offacility residents is not increased and its purpose or location do not change and other conditions of the permit are met. The applicant understands this condition. B. Section 64300(d) of the zoning code requires that before the planning commission may grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that: The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans which were approved by the city council. This condition is met. The Saint Paul Housing Plan and the Saint Paul / Ramsey County Five-Year Housing and Homeless Services Plan both call for the development of 250 units of transitional housing serving single adults, families and youth. 2. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traff c congestion in the public streets. This condition is met. The proposed use is not expected to generate significant traffic. There are no alleys or driveways that would affect tr�c circulation in the area. 3. The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. This condition is met. The use will fit into an existing structure that has served as a community residential facility for twice as many residents for a number of years. ai- 33a 2 Residents will be serviced by supportive services through the Antioch Christian 3 Center located neazby. The intensity ofthe use (13 adult facility residents) will be 4 similar to that of a 4-plex that would be a permitted use in the district. 4. The use wi11 not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 This condition is met. The azea has a number of vacant pazcels that would benefit from this building being fully occupied and managed by a community-based orgauization. 5. The use shaZ1, in a11 other respects, conform to the applicable regulations ofthe district in which it is Zocated. With the exception of the off=street pazking requirement discussed above, the use conforms to all applicable regulations. C. Section 64300(fl of the zoning code states, "The planning commission, after public hearing, may modify any or a11 special conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of properry or an existing shucture and would result in exceptional undue hazdship to the owner of such properiy or structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfaze of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent properiy." The property never had on-site parking, and there is no alley. Conshucting on-site pazking would be very costly due to the difference in grade, and the church has limited funding resources. The property is located on a corner, and has eight on-street parking spaces. There are many vacant parceis and buildings in the area, and there is no plan to develop them in the near future.

Following is a summary of Mr. Igo's four main points together with a response b}• zoning staft. � l. In fiirding tl:at the 1310 foot separatia� reguirenient for tr housiTrg facitities serving more tAarz 7 adrdt residents artd lice�rsed commiu:iry residential facilities is �r:et, the PZa�:i:ing Comn:issioit Resokuion states tleat d:e closest facilitj• is l880 feet aivay at 565 Dayton. The appellcuu states lhat 565 Dayto�t is currently a siagle family l:on:e, and has not been a conumotity residential faciliry for n:ore than tkree years. The appellcznt a[so contends that in addition to jacilities rhat /tave specinl permits or licenses, the distarice requirement should also apply to u•ansitional l:ousingfaeilities serving fow• or feu•er adtdu. Resnonse: 565 Dayton is not on the list of current transitional housing and community residential facilities. Staff erred in using an old map that has �65 Dayton on it. The closest facility is actually even farther a�vay: Pineview Residence at 69 IvT. n4ilton is 2360 feet a�vay. Thus, with the closing of the facility at 565 Dayton, the proposed facility at 740 Dayton is ecen more conformine with the minimum distance requirement. Bzcause uansitional housing facilities servins four or fe�ver adult residents are permitted uses with no separation requirement from larger transitional housing facilities, it follows that transitional housing facilities servin� 7 to 16 adult residents can be established �vith no separation requirement from facilities senina four or fewer adult residents. This �aas the clear intent �vhen the Zonine Code requirements �vere adopted. Because transitional housing facilities servin� four or fewer adult residents require no special permits or licenses, they can be established �vithout City l�o�aledee, and the City does not track their locations. If someone proposing a facility serving five or more adult residents �ti to lmow the location of facilities serving four or fewer residents, thz City «ould not have that information. u Dan Bostrom and members of the City Council Zoning File # O 1-123-422 February 20, 2001 � Page 2 2. The appella�:t coitteieds t<iat the Plan�eing Comir:issio�e erred ift findi�tg tlaat the conditiore for a masin:uui of oire percent of plm�riing district populafion in this type ojfaciliry is met, and that lra�rsitiorial hoersi�:g facilities serving foa�r or feiver adulu shotrZd be inckrded irt rriaki�tg this deterrnirratiorr. He ezpresses concern tha[ a totivnhouse project, for example, cocdd have rnore than one u•ansitionat l:ousixg facility wit3:out being included in the percentage calcedation as loizg as each facility serves four or fewer adtdt resiclents. Resnonse: Because transitional housing facilities serving four or fewer adult residents are permitted uses with no percentage of population requirement, it follows that such facilities would not be inchided in the caiculation of the percentage of dishict population living in licensed community residential facilities, transitional housing facilities ser� in� five or more adult residents, and other similar facilities requiring special permits or licenses. Because transitional housing facilities serving four or feFVer adult residenis require no special permits or licenses, they can be established without City kno�cled�e, and the City does not track their locations. 3. T/�e aypellanl takes issue u ith the state�nent in the Plmmii�� Contn�ission Resolutiwr that "the in�ensity of the use (13 adult � eside�rts) ivill be similar to tkat of a 4 ple.r that would be a pernaitted use in t/:e riish-ict. " He notes Uiat, includin; d�e rninor children i�i their care, dte proposed facilitti n ould lrare n�ore resirtents thma a normal4-ples. Resoonse: The appellant has a good point here. The sentence he disaerees with, �vhich is part of the discussion under required finding y 64300(d)(3), should not be in the resotution. The sentence is not necessary to make the required findin� that "the use �vill not be detrimental to the existing chazacter of the development in the immzdiatz neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare." The intensity of the proposed use is allowed under the RT-2 zoning of the site and area. 4. The appellmzt disagrees iritJ: tke Plarutir:g Commissia:'s finding that "the t�se wi11 not in:pede tLe normal arid w rlerelopme�it of the surroimding property� for uses pern:itted in the district. " He states t1:at an over-concerttration of this type offacility and over-occupane}� of this b«ilding woidd deter other develapers or individuals from derelopiag surroundin� vcrcarzt parcels into uses that are compatible tvith !he permitted uses of the dish Resnonse: The proposed use meet; Zonine Code requirements for separation from other similar facilities and percentaee of plannin� district population in such facilities, desi�ned to a��oid an over-concentration of such faciIities. In addition to the Special Condition Use Permit the use will require a Certificate of Occupanc}•, �vhich will specify thz total number of beds allo�ved in the facility based on Housine Code standards and an inspection by the Fire Marshall, and thus avoid over-occupancy of the building. Conclusion: The conditions impo>ed by the Zonins Code for the proposed use are rnet, except for off- street parkin�. The Plannins Commission decision to approve a Special Condition Use Permit for a transitional housin� facility sen�ing 13 adul[ residents and minor children in their care at 740 Dayton Avemie, subj ect to the condition that in �vinter-sprina 2002 the Plannin� Commission will review the use regardin� any impact relating to parking demand, and based on that recie�c may require off-street parkina or limit the number of cars associated with the use, should bz upheld. The appeal should be denied. � • � �-r...�q � �1 FQR qpf�E�.

The property never had on-site parking, and there is no atley. Constructing on-site parkin� �vould be very costly due to the difference in grade, and the church has limited fundin� resources. The property is located on a corner, and has ei�ht on-street parking spaces. There are many vacant parcels and buildin�s in the area, and there is no plan to develop them in the nearfuture. � Nd��', THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paui Ptanning Commission that the application of Antioch Christian Center for a Special Condition Use Permit to allow a transicional housin� facility servina thirteen (13) adult residents and minor children in their care located at the south�vest corner of Dayton and GroTto (740 Dayton} as indicated in ihe application is hereby approved with a modification of the parkin� requirement subject to the condidan [hat in winter-sprina of 20U2, the Ylatuung Comniissivn �vili revie�� iliC us� re�ardin� any impact related to parking demand, and based on Yhat revie�v may require off- street parking or limit the number of cars associated �vith the use. 7A�N PAu� P�N;��s� C�oM�,��«� ��T�s ,��unaY ta,a�1- �1pp�ous� F.��var�y g , 2.c�L IIOTION: Conur:issioner Field nto�•ed rq�pro�•al of rootriixg kouse witk 2 gues[ roonrs, wit/iotrt lot rtma n�odiftcntion, a�rd ivitle ndrlilioreal cnnditions.

He stated that use of tha house would chan�e from 26 handicapped residenu �vith no cliildren, �vl�ere the masimum number of residents in the buildi�g was fixed at 26. Commissioner Kramer's concern is that noGv with 13 adutt residents and minor dtildren in their care, there �vou(d be no upper limit on tlte number of children in the bui(dina. S[iould there be a directive from the Commission to ask LIEP fo establish the number of peopie that would be ailowed? Commissioner Faricy stated she had the same concerns. Commissioner Field stated that they are u�aiving the parking requirements because most of the residents will be using public transpoRation and the site is on a corner with plenty of on-street parking, so the si� spaces on site may not be necessary. They added a condition for Plannin� Commission revie�e of parkino need in one year. There is iand adjacent to [he bailding whidi they wotdd like to use for a play area, but if �ve need the parkina space they are going to have to provide it and that nia}' be ��fiere they �cil( have to provide it. Commissioner Field also stated that there »�ere four bathrooms, and ��ith li adults and their children, he ��otild like to hear from LIEP as to ho« man} people can occupy tliis bui(din�. Commissioner Atton also questioned Iro}�� man} people can occupy the buildin�. He stated that the Commission sliould deFer to L1EP. � Mr. Allan Torstenson stated that there is a Certificate of Occupancy requirement here. There are hvo clear options and both are fi»e. One �coi4d be for the Commission to direct or as[: LIEP in issuing ihe CeRificate of Occupancy (icense set a masimum. The other ��ouid be to send it back to committee so �ve sec some information from LIEP and set an upper timit in our permit. It can be done either �cay. Commissioner Gordon stated that it �vas his anderstandin� that LiEP «rould revie�v Yhe facility and make a determination as to the ma�imum number. That is ivhy he �cas comfortable not fuRher addressin� that issue at the Zonin� Cotnmittee.

Mr. Torstenson further explained thai in 1946 the Zoning Code did not require a Speciai Condition Use Permit. At the question of Commissioner Morton, Ms. Zhang stated there would be six to seven parking spaces needed for this facility. There are currently eight on-street parking spaces availabie. Also, the building has no alley and never had parking in the past. Pastor Debra Messenger, the applicant, appeared and stated there is a need to establish transitional housing because of a housing shortage. She also explained that most people in transitionai housing do not have transportation and the bus line that is tocated one block away makes fransportation convenient for the occupants. At the question of Gommissioner Faricy, Pastor Messenger stated the occupants, consisting of families, usually stay for a period of 18 months to two years and approximately haif wouid own cars. At the question of Commissioner Kramer, Pastor Messenger expiained there would be 13 rooms at their disposa! for families with two to three children. Ms. Sheliy Brown, 670 Van Buren Avenue, explained that transitio�a! housing people do not have veh+cies of their own so being on the bus line wil! be convenient for the residents. She also stated she supports the transitional housing because of the housing shortage and if wouid be an advantage to the community. At the question of Commissioner Faricy, Ms. Brown stated it would be a hardship to create parking in the side yard but would cansider it in the future if the need arises. No one spoke in oppositian. Zoning Committee Minutes January 4, 2001 File #: 00-15-318 Page 2 The public hearing was ciosed. Commissioner Kramer asked whether handicapped parking is required in the zoning code, and staff responded that if off-street parking requirement is waived, the handicapped parking requirement wouid be waived as well. Commissioner Gordon added that handicapped parking can probably be accommodated by putting a handicapped parking sign on street. Commission Faricy expressed further concerns with the lack of off-street parking. Commissioner Field suggested that the Pianning Commission approve the speciai conditional use permitwith the condition that the Planning Commission will review the case in a year with regards to the parking dsmand, and reserves the right to enforce off-street parking. Gommissioner Kramer suggested restricting the number of cars associated with the use to 10. Commissioner Field questioned the abifity of the city to enforce that restriction. Cammissioner Faricy made a motion to approve the transitional housing faci(ity with a modification of the parking requirement subject to the condition that in winter-spring of 2002, the Pianning Commission wiif review the use regarding any impact related to parking demand, and based on that review may require off-street parking or Ilmit the number of cass associated with fhe use. The motion passed with a vote of 6-0.

The Commission, based upon the following findings and conclusions, as set forth in its Resolution no. 00-06, adopted February 9, 2001, granted the application subject to the condition that the use is reviewed during the winter or spring of 2002 for the purposes of determining what impact the use has had on pazking and to further determine if additional conditions aze necessary to regulate off-street pazking or otherwise limit the number of cars associated with the use: A. Section 60.433(2) permits transitional housing facilities serving seven (7) to sixteen (16) adult facility residents and minor children in their care in the RT-2 zoning district subject to the following: 1. It shall not be located in a two family or multifamily dwelling unless the facility occupies the entire structure. This condition is met.

A minimum distance of one thousand three hundred twenty (1, 320) radial feet from other transitional housing or shelters for battered persons, licensed human service community residential facilities, license correctional community residential facflities, emergency housing, health department-Zicensed community residential facilities or overnight shelters. This condition is met. PED records of residential facilities with either licenses or some prior zoning approval indicate that there are no such facilities within 1320 feet of 740 Dayton Avenue. The closest faciliry is 565 Dayton, which is 1880 feet away. CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA at-�.3o 2 3.

This condition is met. With the closing of Dayton House, a 26-bed facility previously in the building, there aze 139 beds in the Summit Universiry (District 8) community. That is 0.76% of the population —less than one percent. Adding the 13 beds proposed for this facility would result in there being 152 beds in the planning district — or 0.83°/a. 5. Permfssion for special condition use applies only as long as the number offacility residents is not increased and its purpose or location do not change and other conditions of the permit are met.

This condition is met. The Saint Paul Housing Plan and the Saint Paul / Ramsey County Five-Year Housing and Homeless Services Plan both call for the development of 250 units of transitional housing serving single adults, families and youth. 2. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traff c congestion in the public streets. This condition is met. The proposed use is not expected to generate significant traffic. There are no alleys or driveways that would affect tr�c circulation in the area. 3. The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare. This condition is met. The use will fit into an existing structure that has served as a community residential facility for twice as many residents for a number of years. ai- 33a 2 Residents will be serviced by supportive services through the Antioch Christian 3 Center located neazby. The intensity ofthe use (13 adult facility residents) will be 4 similar to that of a 4-plex that would be a permitted use in the district. 4. The use wi11 not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 This condition is met. The azea has a number of vacant pazcels that would benefit from this building being fully occupied and managed by a community-based orgauization. 5. The use shaZ1, in a11 other respects, conform to the applicable regulations ofthe district in which it is Zocated. With the exception of the off=street pazking requirement discussed above, the use conforms to all applicable regulations. C. Section 64300(fl of the zoning code states, "The planning commission, after public hearing, may modify any or a11 special conditions, when strict application of such special conditions would unreasonably limit or prevent otherwise lawful use of a piece of properry or an existing shucture and would result in exceptional undue hazdship to the owner of such properiy or structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfaze of the community and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent properiy." The property never had on-site parking, and there is no alley. Conshucting on-site pazking would be very costly due to the difference in grade, and the church has limited funding resources. The property is located on a corner, and has eight on-street parking spaces. There are many vacant parceis and buildings in the area, and there is no plan to develop them in the near future.

Following is a summary of Mr. Igo's four main points together with a response b}• zoning staft. � l. In fiirding tl:at the 1310 foot separatia� reguirenient for tr housiTrg facitities serving more tAarz 7 adrdt residents artd lice�rsed commiu:iry residential facilities is �r:et, the PZa�:i:ing Comn:issioit Resokuion states tleat d:e closest facilitj• is l880 feet aivay at 565 Dayton. The appellcuu states lhat 565 Dayto�t is currently a siagle family l:on:e, and has not been a conumotity residential faciliry for n:ore than tkree years. The appellcznt a[so contends that in addition to jacilities rhat /tave specinl permits or licenses, the distarice requirement should also apply to u•ansitional l:ousingfaeilities serving fow• or feu•er adtdu. Resnonse: 565 Dayton is not on the list of current transitional housing and community residential facilities. Staff erred in using an old map that has �65 Dayton on it. The closest facility is actually even farther a�vay: Pineview Residence at 69 IvT. n4ilton is 2360 feet a�vay. Thus, with the closing of the facility at 565 Dayton, the proposed facility at 740 Dayton is ecen more conformine with the minimum distance requirement. Bzcause uansitional housing facilities servins four or fe�ver adult residents are permitted uses with no separation requirement from larger transitional housing facilities, it follows that transitional housing facilities servin� 7 to 16 adult residents can be established �vith no separation requirement from facilities senina four or fewer adult residents. This �aas the clear intent �vhen the Zonine Code requirements �vere adopted. Because transitional housing facilities servin� four or fewer adult residents require no special permits or licenses, they can be established �vithout City l�o�aledee, and the City does not track their locations. If someone proposing a facility serving five or more adult residents �ti to lmow the location of facilities serving four or fewer residents, thz City «ould not have that information. u Dan Bostrom and members of the City Council Zoning File # O 1-123-422 February 20, 2001 � Page 2 2. The appella�:t coitteieds t<iat the Plan�eing Comir:issio�e erred ift findi�tg tlaat the conditiore for a masin:uui of oire percent of plm�riing district populafion in this type ojfaciliry is met, and that lra�rsitiorial hoersi�:g facilities serving foa�r or feiver adulu shotrZd be inckrded irt rriaki�tg this deterrnirratiorr. He ezpresses concern tha[ a totivnhouse project, for example, cocdd have rnore than one u•ansitionat l:ousixg facility wit3:out being included in the percentage calcedation as loizg as each facility serves four or fewer adtdt resiclents. Resnonse: Because transitional housing facilities serving four or fewer adult residents are permitted uses with no percentage of population requirement, it follows that such facilities would not be inchided in the caiculation of the percentage of dishict population living in licensed community residential facilities, transitional housing facilities ser� in� five or more adult residents, and other similar facilities requiring special permits or licenses. Because transitional housing facilities serving four or feFVer adult residenis require no special permits or licenses, they can be established without City kno�cled�e, and the City does not track their locations. 3. T/�e aypellanl takes issue u ith the state�nent in the Plmmii�� Contn�ission Resolutiwr that "the in�ensity of the use (13 adult � eside�rts) ivill be similar to tkat of a 4 ple.r that would be a pernaitted use in t/:e riish-ict. " He notes Uiat, includin; d�e rninor children i�i their care, dte proposed facilitti n ould lrare n�ore resirtents thma a normal4-ples. Resoonse: The appellant has a good point here. The sentence he disaerees with, �vhich is part of the discussion under required finding y 64300(d)(3), should not be in the resotution. The sentence is not necessary to make the required findin� that "the use �vill not be detrimental to the existing chazacter of the development in the immzdiatz neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general welfare." The intensity of the proposed use is allowed under the RT-2 zoning of the site and area. 4. The appellmzt disagrees iritJ: tke Plarutir:g Commissia:'s finding that "the t�se wi11 not in:pede tLe normal arid w rlerelopme�it of the surroimding property� for uses pern:itted in the district. " He states t1:at an over-concerttration of this type offacility and over-occupane}� of this b«ilding woidd deter other develapers or individuals from derelopiag surroundin� vcrcarzt parcels into uses that are compatible tvith !he permitted uses of the dish Resnonse: The proposed use meet; Zonine Code requirements for separation from other similar facilities and percentaee of plannin� district population in such facilities, desi�ned to a��oid an over-concentration of such faciIities. In addition to the Special Condition Use Permit the use will require a Certificate of Occupanc}•, �vhich will specify thz total number of beds allo�ved in the facility based on Housine Code standards and an inspection by the Fire Marshall, and thus avoid over-occupancy of the building. Conclusion: The conditions impo>ed by the Zonins Code for the proposed use are rnet, except for off- street parkin�. The Plannins Commission decision to approve a Special Condition Use Permit for a transitional housin� facility sen�ing 13 adul[ residents and minor children in their care at 740 Dayton Avemie, subj ect to the condition that in �vinter-sprina 2002 the Plannin� Commission will review the use regardin� any impact relating to parking demand, and based on that recie�c may require off-street parkina or limit the number of cars associated with the use, should bz upheld. The appeal should be denied. � • � �-r...�q � �1 FQR qpf�E�.

The property never had on-site parking, and there is no atley. Constructing on-site parkin� �vould be very costly due to the difference in grade, and the church has limited fundin� resources.

He stated that use of tha house would chan�e from 26 handicapped residenu �vith no cliildren, �vl�ere the masimum number of residents in the buildi�g was fixed at 26. Commissioner Kramer's concern is that noGv with 13 adutt residents and minor dtildren in their care, there �vou(d be no upper limit on tlte number of children in the bui(dina. S[iould there be a directive from the Commission to ask LIEP fo establish the number of peopie that would be ailowed? Commissioner Faricy stated she had the same concerns. Commissioner Field stated that they are u�aiving the parking requirements because most of the residents will be using public transpoRation and the site is on a corner with plenty of on-street parking, so the si� spaces on site may not be necessary. They added a condition for Plannin� Commission revie�e of parkino need in one year. There is iand adjacent to [he bailding whidi they wotdd like to use for a play area, but if �ve need the parkina space they are going to have to provide it and that nia}' be ��fiere they �cil( have to provide it. Commissioner Field also stated that there »�ere four bathrooms, and ��ith li adults and their children, he ��otild like to hear from LIEP as to ho« man} people can occupy tliis bui(din�. Commissioner Atton also questioned Iro}�� man} people can occupy the buildin�. He stated that the Commission sliould deFer to L1EP. � Mr. Allan Torstenson stated that there is a Certificate of Occupancy requirement here. There are hvo clear options and both are fi»e.

The other ��ouid be to send it back to committee so �ve sec some information from LIEP and set an upper timit in our permit. It can be done either �cay. Commissioner Gordon stated that it �vas his anderstandin� that LiEP «rould revie�v Yhe facility and make a determination as to the ma�imum number. That is ivhy he �cas comfortable not fuRher addressin� that issue at the Zonin� Cotnmittee.

Yang Zhang showed slides and presented the staff report. Ms. Zhang stated a letter was received by District 8 stating they support the Special Condition Use Permit. 7he Zoning Staff recommends approval of the permit with a modification fo the parking requirement. At the questior+ of Commissioner Field, Ms. Zhang explained that the only availahle history dates back to 1946 for a rooming house in a C residentiai district which is RT- 2 or RM-1. Mr. Torstenson further explained thai in 1946 the Zoning Code did not require a Speciai Condition Use Permit. At the question of Commissioner Morton, Ms. Zhang stated there would be six to seven parking spaces needed for this facility. There are currently eight on-street parking spaces availabie. Also, the building has no alley and never had parking in the past. Pastor Debra Messenger, the applicant, appeared and stated there is a need to establish transitional housing because of a housing shortage. She also explained that most people in transitionai housing do not have transportation and the bus line that is tocated one block away makes fransportation convenient for the occupants. At the question of Gommissioner Faricy, Pastor Messenger stated the occupants, consisting of families, usually stay for a period of 18 months to two years and approximately haif wouid own cars. At the question of Commissioner Kramer, Pastor Messenger expiained there would be 13 rooms at their disposa! for families with two to three children. Ms. Sheliy Brown, 670 Van Buren Avenue, explained that transitio�a! housing people do not have veh+cies of their own so being on the bus line wil! be convenient for the residents. She also stated she supports the transitional housing because of the housing shortage and if wouid be an advantage to the community. At the question of Commissioner Faricy, Ms. Brown stated it would be a hardship to create parking in the side yard but would cansider it in the future if the need arises. No one spoke in oppositian. Zoning Committee Minutes January 4, 2001 File #: 00-15-318 Page 2 The public hearing was ciosed. Commissioner Kramer asked whether handicapped parking is required in the zoning code, and staff responded that if off-street parking requirement is waived, the handicapped parking requirement wouid be waived as well. Commissioner Gordon added that handicapped parking can probably be accommodated by putting a handicapped parking sign on street. Commission Faricy expressed further concerns with the lack of off-street parking. Commissioner Field suggested that the Pianning Commission approve the speciai conditional use permitwith the condition that the Planning Commission will review the case in a year with regards to the parking dsmand, and reserves the right to enforce off-street parking. Gommissioner Kramer suggested restricting the number of cars associated with the use to 10. Commissioner Field questioned the abifity of the city to enforce that restriction. Cammissioner Faricy made a motion to approve the transitional housing faci(ity with a modification of the parking requirement subject to the condition that in winter-spring of 2002, the Pianning Commission wiif review the use regarding any impact related to parking demand, and based on that review may require off-street parking or Ilmit the number of cass associated with fhe use. The motion passed with a vote of 6-0.
