(1) The use conforms to the zoning regulations;
(2) The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty;
(3) Permission of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is
necessary for the public to take the property in the future; and
(4) The user agrees to any conditions that the governing body deems appropriate for permission of
the use.
Any interim use may be terminated by a change in zoning regulations; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2010, a public heazing was duly conducted before the City Council at which all
interested parties were given an opportunity to be heazd and the Council, having considered all the facts
and the report regarding the application and recommendation of staff dated June 24, 2010, moved to
approve the interim use for the following reasons;
(1} The use eonforms to the aoning r•egulations. This requirement is met. The property at 1406
Dayton Ave is zoned I1 Industrial, and warehousing and storage is a pernutted use within the I1
district, The proposed indoor and outdoor storage and warehousing of automobiles and indoor
storage of auto parts is similar to the Zoning Code's warehousing and storage use, if the proposed
use is su�ciently limited in nature and scope to prohibit activities on the site associated with other
related uses that have greater neighborhood impacts, such as auto repair, auto dismantling, engine
rebuilding or reconditioning, collision service, auto painfing, automative fluid extraction activities,
motor vehicle salvage, or the retail sale of auto parts, vehicles, or engine fuels.
(2} The date or event that will terminate the use can be identifZed with certainty. This requirement
is met. As indicated above, the 2005 Ayd Mill Road Final EIS identified this property as a parcel
necessary for full acquisition by the City as future right-of-way for the northward extension of Ayd
Mill Road. The Public Works project manager for the Ayd Mill Road project has indicated that
there are no current funds for right-of-way acquisition associated with this project, and he does not
expect that funds will be available in the foreseeable future. While a date that would terminate this
use cannot currently be identified with certainty, an event can be idenrified with certainty. The
event that will terminate this use is when the Ciry takes possession of the property far the Ayd Mill
Road extension project.

(3) Permisszon of the use will not impase additional costs on the public if it zs necessary for the
public to take the properry in the future. This requirement is met. While the applicant may have to
incur additional mazginal costs to meet building and fire code requirements in preparing the
property for the proposed use, the applicant proposes no changes to the structure of the building or
to the site layout. The permission of this use will not impact the cost to the City of acquiring this
property in the future, as the property is currently a warehouse that was used in the past for storage
and is now being proposed for a use similar to warehousing and storage if a specific set of
conditions are imposed upon the use.
(4) The user agrees to any conditions tFtat the governing body deems appropriate for permission of
the use. This finding is met. The appiicant has reviewed the conditions proposed by staff and has
deemed them appropriate. The conditions are as follows:

56 automobile parts, consistent with the site plantfloor plan on file with the City. The permit is not

Staff Reportpacket
Correspondence received
z. The Zoning Administrator sent a Statement of Clarification on November g, zoo9 that indicated
that the proposed use of iyoo Dayton forthe storage and warehousing of automob�les and auto
parts was not similar to a warehousing and storage use.
�. The applicant, Chris Eriksson, appealed the Zoning Administrator decision to the Board of Zoning
Appeals (BZA). On Fe6ruary 8, zoio, the BZA denied the applicanYs appeal, finding that use of
z400 Dayton for the storage and warehousing of automobiles and auto parts represented an
expansion of an existing nonconforming motor vehicle salvage use located across the street at zi8
Pascal St 5.
3. The applicant appealed the BZA deasion to the City Councif on April7, zoso. The City Council
denied the appeal, advising the applicant to apply to the Planni�g Commission for an enlargement
of a �onconforming use (NCUP).
, c,. Planning staff subsequently determined that 140o Dayton had been previousfy identifred in �005 as
a parcel necessary for fuil acquisition by the City as future right-of-way for the northward extension
AN AFFIRMATTVE ACTION EQUAL OPPORTONITY E�LOYER
ofAyd Mill Road (Ayd Mill Road Final EIS). Because ofthis realization, and because the proposed
use of iyoo Dayton should be further defined with a set of conditions to prevent an inadvertent
expansion ofthe use to include other act+vities, statFadvised the applicant to withdraw the •
enlargement of NCUP application and re-submit the proposal as an interim use permit application.
The applicant did this on June 14, �oso.
State Statute 46z.3597 provides for interim uses, includes required findings for establishing an interim
use, and specifies that public hearings on the granting of interim use permits shall be held by the
governing body as provided for in sedion y6z.357, subdivision 3. My staff report packet and
recommendation are attached.
If I can be offurther assistance, please do not hes+tate to contact me.

E. STATE STATUTE CITATION: State Statute 462.3597, which provides for interim uses,
includes required findings for estabiishing an interim use.
F. HISTORYIDISCU5510N: The Zoning Administrator sent a Statement of Clarification to SP
Holdings LLG on November 9, 2009 that +ndicated that the proposed use of 1400 Dayton for
the storage and warehousing of automobiles and auto parts (which does not appear in the
Zoning Code) was not similar to a warehousing and storage use (a permitted use in 11). The
applicant, Chris Eriksson, subsequently appealed this Zoning Administrator decision to the
Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA}. On February 8, 2010, the BZA denied the appficant's
appeal, finding that use of 1400 Dayton for the storage and warehousing of automobiles and
auto parts was an accessory use to a principal motor vehicle safvage use (the latter being
located across the street at 218 Pascal St S). Motor vehicle salvage is a nonconforming use
in the 11 district. Because the warehousinglstorage use ot 1400 Dayton invotves activities
that are integral to the motor vehicie salvage use and its permission would effectiveiy
expand the motor vehicle salvage use of Crosstown Auto (the proposed exclusive user of
the site), the BZA concurred with the Zoning Administrator, finding the proposal to be an
enlargement of a nonconforming use.
The applicant appealed the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals to the City Councii on
Aprii 7, 2010. The City Council denied the appeal, advising the applicant to apply to the
Pfanning Commission for an enlargement of a nonconforming use.
G. D{STRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The Union Park District Council has provided
written support of the use of this property for the storage and warehousing of automobiles,
and provided a set of sugggested conditions of approval.

H. FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, Chris Ericksson, applied to the Pianning Commission for an enlargement
of s nonconforming use permit on May 10, 2010 for indoor and outdoor automobile
storage and indoor sforage of auto parts, with Crosstown Auto as the exciusive tenant.
Tfie storage use at 9400 Dayton was proposed as an accessory use to a principa!
nonconforming motor vehicle salvage use locaied at 218 Pascal St S. After determining
thaY the application lacked a floor plan and adequate site plan, staff returned the
application on May 26, 2010 with a notice to the applicant to resubmit it.
2. The parcel adjacent to 1400 Dayton on its south side, with an address of 0 Selby, Parcel
Identification Number #032823210075, is owned by Public Works and proposed for use
by the applicant as a secondary access way to 1400 Dayton. After planning staff asked
Public Works for its position on the proposed use of this parcel, Public Works staff
indicated that it was acquired for use as part of the future northbound ex#ension oF Ayd
Miil Road. In addition, pianning staff ieamed that the 1400 Dayton property was aiso
previousiy identified in 2005 by the Ayd Mitl Road Finai EIS as a parcel necessary for ful(
acquisition by the City as future right-of-way for the northward exfension of Ayd Mill
Road. This northern extension is also identified in the Transportafion Chapter of the
Comprehensive Pfan as one of three road projects in the City with "future righi-of-way
needs.°
•
Because fhe 1400 Dayton property's proposed use is by a lessee business fhat is not
contiguous to it and because there are other conditions that shoufd be applied to the use
to further define it and prevent an inadvertent expansion-of it to include other acYivities, �
statf advised the applicant to withdraw his enlargement of NCUA application and re-
submit the proposal as an interim use permit applicat+on. The applicant followed this
staff recommendation.
3. State Statute 462.3597. Interim Uses defines interim uses, gives authority to goveming
bodies to allow them, and specifies the required fndings for a establishing an interim
use. §462.3597, Subd. 1 de{nes an interim use as "a temporary use of property unt+l a
particular date, until the occurrence of a particular event, or until zoning regutations no
longer permit it.°
4. State Statute 462.3597,Subd. 2.Authority ailows for conditions to be set on interim uses.
The governing body may grant permission for an interim use of property it:
(1) The use conforms to the zoning regulafions. This requirement is met. The property
at 1400 DayYon Ave is zoned I1 Industrial, and warehousing and storage is a
permitted use within the 11 district. The proposed indoor and outdoor storage and
warehousing of automobiles and indoor storage of auto paRs is similar to the Zoning
Code's warehousing and storage use, if the proposed use is sufficiently limited in
nature and scrope to prohibit activities on the site associated with other related uses
that have greater neighborhood impacts, such as auto repair, auto dismantling,
engine rebuiiding or reconditioning, coliision service, auto painting, automotive fluid
extraction acfivities, motor vehic(e salvage, or the retaii sale of aufo parts, vehicles,
or engine fuels. .
(2) The date or event that will terminate the use can be ident�ed with cerfainty. This
requirement is met. As indicafed above, the 2005 Ayd_ Mill Road Finaf EIS identified
tfiis property as a parce( necessary for full acquisition by the City as future right-of- -
way for the northward extension of Ayd Mill Road. The Pubiic Works project manager
for the Ayd MiA Road project has indicated that there are no current funds for right-of-
way acquisition associated with this projecY, and he does not expect that funds will
be availabie in the foreseeable future. While a date that would terminate this use
[IIbl3J

Zoning Fife #10-506-729

. Page 3 of 4
cannot currently be identified with certainty, an event can be identified wifh certainty.
The event that wii! terminate this use is when the City takes possession of the
property for the Ayd Mill Road extension project.
(3) The permission of fhe use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is
necessary for the public fo take fhe property in the future. This requirement is met.
While the applicant may have to incur additional marginal costs to meet buifding and
fire code requirements in preparing the property for the proposed use, the applicant
proposes no changes to the structure of the building or to the site layout. The
pesmission of this use will not impact the cost to the City of acquiring this property in
the future, as the property is currently a warehouse that was used in the past for
storage and is now being proposed for a use similar to warehousing and storage if a
specific set of conditions are imposed upon ihe use.
(4) The user agrees to any conditions that the governing body deems app�opriate for
permission of the use. This finding is met. The applicant has reviewed the
conditions proposed by staff and has deemed them appropriate.
5. The proposed indoor and outdoor storage and warehousing of automobiles and +ndoor
storage of auto parts is consistent with the Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan's Generalized Future Land Use policy designation for the parcel, which is
"industriai."
I. STAFP RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of
� the interim use permit to aliow indoor and outdoor storage and warehousing of automobiies
and indoor storage of auto parts, w+th the foliowing conditions;
1. The approved use is for indoorloutdoor storage of automobiles and indoor storage of
automobile paRs, consistent with the site planffloor plan on file with the City. The permit
is not approved for motor vehicle salvage use.
2. The use shall expire when the City takes possession of this property for the Ayd Mill
Road extension project.
3. Principal access to the 1400 Dayton property shall consist of a driveway off of the
terminus of Dayton Avenue; semi trucks are prohibited from accessing the property's
southern driveway, located off of the parcel on the north side of the Selby Avenue bridge
(PIN #032823210075).
4. A written agreement with the owner o# property at 1462 Dayton Ave shall be ma'intained
by the owner of 1400 Dayton Ave that allows for a minor encroachment along the former
property's eastern border.

According to NFPA 13 Standards, a parking garage shouid have an ordinary hazard
group 1 listing with a density of .I 5 GPM over the most remote 1 S00 square feet of azea.
A parts storage azea less than 10 feet in height would be an ordinnry hazard group 2
listing wrth a density of .20 GPM over the most remote 1500 square feet of azea
Normally a functioning, well-mattitained pipe schedule system (sunilar to yours) should
be able to produce those two densities.

Dear John,
The Union Park Dist�-ict Council's Land Use Committee on January 26, 2010 reviewed Chris �
Eriksson's apgeai of the decision of fne Zoning Adauustrator fhat the currettt use of his property at
14d0 Daytan Avenue is a motar velucle saivage operafion which is not pert�itted in the I-1 Tndustrial
District. `I'1ze Land Use Committee felt that fhe proposed use_of the property was warehousing and
was not a motor vebicle salvage operation, an3 voted to support the applicant's appeat.
The Union Pazk District Counczl Board of D'uectors, at its February 3, 2Q1� meeting, voted
� ously fo support Mr. Briksson's appeal of the zon�ng administrator's decision as long as the
ouang conditions that were part of the agplicant's grounds for appeal are met:
1. There wi11 be no dismanfling of cars on t1�e property.
2. There wilI be no mechanical activities of any sort on the property.
3. The property will noZ be open to the public.
4• Parts tvill not be sold from the property.
5. There will be a limit of 20 to 30 cars parked outside the building,
Again, the Union Park District Council feit that the proposed used of the property is not an
�xpansion of a motor vehicle salvage operation, but rather is warehovsing which is permztted in t]ais
;oning district.
�anlc you for your consideration.

1 am writiag in. regards m zhe appeaf of Chris Eritasoct frrorti tfie Fe6ruary 8 dacision af the Board
of Zoning Appeats (BZA) derrying t�im from usirtg his property at. ! 404 Daytorr Avenua for
statage and ware�iausing. Mr. Er�ksson desires to enter ir�to a tease with Crasstowri Auto, inc.
(Crosstown) for the storaga of vehicles and car parts. Mr. Erilcsson is unable to do so at this
tima because the BZAfound thaz sucfi a use constitutes an accessary use and thus an a�aizsion
of a non-confortnirtg mator vehide salvage dealership. "fhe Saint Paul Araa Chamber af
Commerce supports the property owner s desired intertded use and encourages tt�a City
Counci! to recortsider h4is matter.
AItE�ough tha leasing of 1460 �ayton Ave. to Gosstowrr may theoretica!!y constitvte an
accessory e�se of the proposed tenant pursuant to Section 65.9QQ(d) of the City Code, such a
ciassifcatian under the circumstances ignores the prac-�caf reality that the appEicanYs intencted
use is not in fact an e�.iansion of an auto safvage operation; but principalfy for storage and
warehousing. Storage and warehousing as a principaI use is permitted iri an i- E zoning distr-ict.
Therefore, the proparty owner sho�id be af(owed tfl errter irno a lease with CrQSStown as
described in his apptication. The inguiry shou[d not be foatsed on who the property ov�mer
wartts to tease his property to, but raxher on what the property wifl be e�sed for.
Furthermore, tlze property owaer has agreed to conditian the proposed tertarrt's use of the
property so as to ensure that it does not expand an auto �lvage business. I-fe has agreed eo (1 }
prohibit dismantling of vehicies, {2) prohibit crushing a{ cars, (3} prohibit storittg af �art3ally
dismantfed vehicles, (4} profiibit ope�irtg the praperty to the public {or the sale of parts, and (5)
prohi6it storing mare than 30 vehicJes on the e�erior of the propErty at any oae tima. These
conditians show a commitment by the property owner to ensure that the property does nat
expand an existing auto salVage business irt Saint Paul. Additionatly, the Cf�amber supports Mr.

City Counci! Members
Dear Councii Members:
I am writing in support of Ch�is Eriksson's appeal of the decision of fhe Zoning
Administrator regarding the proposed use of 1400 Dayton Ave zoned t-1 industria!
District.
Storage and warehousing is a permitted use and the building has 6een a warehouse for
af least 50 years. The Union Park District Co�nciPS. Land Use Committee is also in
support of the app[icant's appeat.
Mr. Eriksson wouid like to rent the 6ui(ding to Crosstown Auto LLC to store autoparts
and.automo6iles inside the warehouse. On behalf of the Midway Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors 1 am asking the city counci! to allow this use with the
following conditions, which Mr. Erfksson has agreed to:
1.
2.
3.
No outside storage of parts or partially dismantled cars
lVot open to the public for parts sales
No mechanicaf activities on the premises
04he[ then the significant investment into the property by Mr. Eriksson, at risk are the
new 5 warenouse jobs that the surrounding community o'r for that matter any
cornmvnity in toda�s economy, is desperateEy in need of. We are aA investing a great
deal of time and energy trying to identify new opportunities to expand the tax base and
put people to work. This is ready to go and the District Council approves, please hefp
move this fonvard and get 5 people working as soon as Thank you for your
consideration! .
Sincerely,
Lori FrifEs

i like the way you changed the first condition. On the second one 1 stiil have same concerns. To me, acquire �
implies the exchange of maney, take possession of.does not necessarily mean that I was compensated forthe
property. I have a friend that lost his property to eminent domain and the city (St Louis Park) is expanding a
road over it. His rent has stopped and he still has not received the money. I do want to get into this situat+on.
Can you add something like "and properry owner has been compensated for the property" or somethi�g like
that. Also why couldn't the city just use eminent domain to terminate the use at the time of acquisition?
Thanks
Chris

Subject: RE: draft conditions for the use - 1400 Dayton Ave - follow-up
Hi Chris,
Sure. Your questions are good ones, and I have a few answers.
1. We are proposing to rrrodify the first condition to read as follows:
1. The approved use is for indooNoutdoor storage of automobiles and indoor storage of automobile pafts,
consistent with the site pian/floor pian on file with the City. The permit is not approved for motor vehicle
saivage use.
1 think this new ianguage will address your concern, and our concem. We are trying to limit the permit not
specificaliy to Crossfown Auto but to the warehousing and sforage use, and as such are trying to construct
conditions so as to not allow this use Yo inadvertently tum into other similar, more expansive uses such as motor
vehicle salvage.
2. You are correct, the City can use eminent domain. However, we realized the way the language was
constructed in the second condition was a b+t vagae, as mere "acquisition" of the property by the City does not
necessarily mean the road project will move forward immediately. For instance, sometimes the City acquires
property for righf-of-way for a road projecf, but project delays mean that fhe acquired property is not touched for
a period of time by the City. In the past, the City has occasionally leased an acquired property hack to the
originai owner in order to ailow it to be used in the interim between fhe fime it is acquired and fhe point at which
the road project actually moves forward. With this in mind, we propose the following change to the co�dition
ianguage:
2. The use shal! expire when the City takes possession of this property for the Ayd Mill Road extension
project.
There is a differe�ce between "acquire" and "take possession oF; the former simpiy means to purchase the
property, while the IatEer means to not onfy purchase but to aiso "take conlrol of' the property.
��
Piease fet me know if you have questions, and if you now are comfortable with these revised conditions. —
Thanks,

HI,Luis
Here are my questions:
1. In regards to restriction number 1 I realize that the conditional use permit to expand a non
conforming use is for Crosstown Auto and is only for them, but storing auto mobiles and auto parts is
a permitted use in an I-1 district and a s-2 warehouse. So with that said if Crosstown auto went out of
business, would I be able to store parts for say Napa auto? I guess the nature of my question is, does
this restriction limit my future use beyond what the zoning allows? Or is it simply if Crosstown
terminated their lease we start over with a clean slate?
• 2. Item number 2. Termination of the use when the city acquires the property for the expansion of
Ayd mill road. This is sort of open ended, does that mean when the transaction is closed, I have
received the funds, the use terminates? Also I am curios why che city wants this, if they can use
eminent domain to acquire the property couldn't the city also use eminent domain to terminate the
use at that time?
The rest of the items look fine, f wilf review them with the tenant but they line up with the lease so they
should be ak
Thanks again for your help

Hi Chris,
I need to let the City Councii know by this Wed�esday if the in[erim use permit is going to appear on the ]uly 7,
2010 Councii agenda; the reason is that the Council must announce, at the prior Council meeting (6J23), that the
permit will show up for a public hearing on 7/7. (There is no Council meeting on 6J30). Because T a{so need
time to prepare a report for the interim use permit, I'll need to hear from you no later than tomorrow
afternoon. If I don't hear from you by tomorrow at 4:30 PM, the ne� time the case could be at City Council
would be on July 21st.
Again, what I need from you to proceed torward on the 7/7 City Councii public hearing are:
' 1. A statement saying you'd like to withdraw the Enlargement of Nonconforming Use Permit (NCUP)
appiication, and that staff should use the materiais you have submitted for this NCUP application for the
interim use permit (site planJfloor pian, Paidas letter, descripGon of the use, etc.).
2. A statement that would constitute your application for an interim use permit to use the property at
Page 2 of 4
1400 Dayton for the indoorJoutdoor storage of automobiles and indoor storage of auto parts associated
with Crosstown Auto. •
Emaits of these statements should be suffi�ent. Please let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Chris,
Sure. One reason for tfie interim use is that it is a simpler way to limit the use to Crosstown Auto (auto
parts/automobile storage} and the permit can clearly specify that the use wi(1 cease when the properly is acquired
by the City for the Ayd Miii Road extension project; l.e. the Ciiy actualty acquiring the property is the "event."
Mother reason is that the interim use permit is also likely to be a quitker process than going through the
Planning Commission (the interim ase will only need one public hearing%City Counc+i meeting for a decision to be
made, while the Pianning Commissiori needs both the Zoning Committee public hearing on June 24th and the full
Planning Commission meeting/decision on Juiy 2nd). Finally, there is less risk that an interim use permit will get •
denied at the City Counci( than (f it goes through the P(anning Commission (Crty Council has 7 members, while
the Planning Commission has 21).
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Luis
� Yes I am going to provide a letter trom Palda that states that they are ok with an encroachment. However I
am not sure abaut the property lines on your photo. I went there yesterday and measured there is 16 feet of
asphalt from the corner of the building towards the railroad tracks, then the tracks and then about 4 feet and
ihen a chain link fence. So if there is a property line there, SPS companies paved over it 60 years ago. Either
way I will have the letter. This is also why 1 put the alternate ramp location on the northside.
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Thanks. I have a question, however, This floor(site plan you submitCed seems to indicate that the property line
between 1400 Dayton and 1462 Dayton is over 16 fieet from the northwestern corner of your building.
However, the aerial photos we have suggest that the partef line of 1400 Dayton may be as �ittie as only two
(2) feet from the northwestern edge of your building at 1400 Dayton Ave, which would make it impossible
to get cars through to the westernmost ramp/door without encroaching onto 1462 Dayton (see attached aerial,
the 1400 Dayton boundaries are highlighted in pink).
Will you be providing a letter from the neighboring property owner - Paldas - that states that they are okay
with an encroachment?
, Thanks,
Luls
