recommended conditions in the staff report, this application meets all subdivision requirements, and staff

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
File #03-382-681
1. APPLICANT: Lander Group/Sherman Associates HEARING DATE: December 17, 2003
2. TYPE OF APPLICATION: Registered Land Survey
3. LOCATION: Block bounded by 10�', Wacouta, 9'" and Sibley streets (North Quadrant)
4. PLANNING DISTRICT: 17 PRESENT ZONING: B-5
5. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: See file
6. ZONING CODE REFERENCE: Sections 67.301 and 67.406
7. STAFF REPORT DATE: October 29, 2003
8. DATE RECEIVED: October 27. 2003
BY: Lucy Thompson
DEADLINE FOR ACTION: December 27, 2003
A. PURPOSE: Registered Land Survey for vertical subdivision of property to create 5 separate
parcels (Tracts A-E) to allow underground parking under an apartment building that will be used
by an adjacent condominium building.
B. PARCEL SIZE: 76,365 square feet (1.75 acres)
C. EXISTING LAND USE: Surface parking, church, office building being converted to housing
D. SURROUNDING LAND USES:
North: Surface parking, District Energy cooling tank
East: SurFace parking
South: Park
West: Commercial uses, surface parking
E. ZONING CODE CITATION: State statute provides that registered land surveys shall be approved
in the manner required for the approval of subdivision plats. Saint Paul's Legislative Code
Section 67.301 states that a plat is required when 5 or more lots or parcels are created, each of
which is 2'h acres or less in size. Section 67.406 states criteria for the review of subdivision
applications. These criteria are covered below under "H. Required Findings."
F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: The North Quadrant has undergone significant redevelopment over the
past 3 years, changing from several blocks of surface parking to a vibrant neighborhood of new
housing units, a central green and redesigned streets. Phases 1 and 2 have brought 300+ new
housing units to the neighborhood, with a mix of owner and rental, market-rate and affordable
units. The two housing projects for which this registered land survey is being filed constitute
Phase 3 of the rejuvenation of the North Quadrant, and will result in more than 100 new units
being added to the market. The block under review is immediately north of Wacouta Commons,
the new park at the heart of the North Quadrant. Conversion of an historic office/warehouse
building to 50 ownership loft units and construction of a new 60-unit affordable senior rental
building will help diversify the housing options in the neighborhood. Due to a unique and
innovative arrangement between these two buildings, parking for the lofts will be provided
underneath the new senior rental building, thus necessitating this "vertical" land survey.
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation had been received from the
CapitolRiver Council at the time the staff report was written.
H. REQUIRED FINDINGS: Section 67.406 of the Zoning Code requires that all of the following
findings be made prior to approval of a subdivision.

City Council Staff Report
Page 2
1. All the applicable provisions of the Legislative Code are complied with.
This condition is met.
2. The proposed subdivision (registered land survey) will not 6e detrimental to the present and
potential surrounding land uses.
This condition is met. The proposed subdivision, by ailowing redevelopment on the site, wili
improve the value, appearance and marketability of present and potential surrounding land
uses.
3. The area surrounding the subdivision can be planned and developed in coordination and
compatibility with the proposed subdivision.
This condition is met. The subdivision is being proposed specifically to coordinate the
reuse/redevelopment of two adjacent parcels. By aliowing for parking under one building to
serve an adjacent building, a 60-unit senior rentai building will be built on a surtace parking lot,
and an historic office/warehouse building wiil be converted to 50 units of loft ownership
housing. Approval of the proposed subdivision will facilitate compatible development of the
surrounding area.
4. The subdivision is in conformance with the comprehensive p(an.
This condition is met. Redevelopment of the North Quadrant as a mixed-use urban village is
called for in the Land Use Plan. It is also supported by the Saint Paul on the Mississippi
Development Framework and the North Quadrant Precinct Plan.
5. The subdivision preseives and incorporates the site's important existing natural features,
whenever possible.
This condition is met. The site is a block in downtown Saint Paui that has no remaining
naturai features. In fact, in conjunction with conversion of the Workforce Center building to
ownership housing, a landscaped courtyard will be built, bringing much-needed green to the
block, and tying it in with Wacouta Commons (a new City park) to the south.
6. AlI land intended for building sites can be used safely without endangering the residents by
peril from floods, erosion, continuously high water table, severe soil conditions or other
menace.
This condition is met, as none of these occur on the site.
7. The subdivision can be economically served with public facilities and services.
This condition is met. The site is located in a fully-built-up part of downtown, and is well-
served by public facilities and services.
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on required findings 1-7 above, staff recommends approval
of the registered land survey for the block bounded by 9�', Sibley, 10` and Wacouta streets
subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall file a copy of the Councii Resolution approving the registered land survey
with the Ramsey County Recorder's Office.
2. The applicant shall send a letter of commitment to Saint Paul Regional Water Services
(SPRWS) that, while Sibley Street is torn up, the SPRWS will be allowed to disconnect an old
water line in the alley way (old Lyons Court) from the water main (in Sibley Street).
