(EXPLqIN) DEPART'MENT OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CITY OF SAII�IT PAUL Norm Coleman, Mayor Febmary 3, 1995 Council President David Thune and Members of the City Council 3rd Floor City Hall Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102 Dear President Thune and members of the City Council: Division ofPlanning 25 West Fourah Street Saixt Pau1, MN 55102 gs-aos Telephoxe: 612-266-6565 Facsimi7e: 612-228-3314 Beginning in 1982, the Planning Commission periodically considered and recommended to the City Council a series of minor zoning amendments contained in 40-acre studies called Zoning Amendments I, II, etc. There have been eight of them. The zoning amendments made changes needed to bring the code up to date with new living or business practices, carry-out newly adopted plans, clarify regularions, correct errors, and incorporate zoning administrator interpretations and Planning Commission fmdings. Since these 40-acre studies were done only periodically, needed zoning amendments were delayed until staff, the Commission, and City Council had the time to work on them. In order to avoid such delays and to keep the code as current as possible, the Commission will consider and recommend to the City Council 5 to 10 minor zoning amendments each month. The first Minor Zoning Amendments recommendation is attached. They concern zoning lots, useable floor area, and parking regulations. The Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on January 19, 1995. The Commission recommended their approval on January 27, 1995, as set forth on the attached resolution. I am pleased to transmit these amendments to you for your review and approval. Sincerely, ��J � ,��,=.�e-.� orm co e Mayor NC:rr 9Sa a3 ci#y of saint paui planning commission resolut�on file number 95-0$ date J�� 2� 1995 MINOR ZONING AMENDMENTS JAN�I7ARY 19 9 5 WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined that considering and recommending monthly zoning amendments to the Mayor and City Council is the most desirable way to keep the zoning code as current as possible; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committe= of the Planning Commission held a public hearing on proposed minor zoning amendments concerning zoning lots, useable floor area, and parking regulations at its January 19, 1995, meeting; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined: 1. That the number of real estate descriptions affected by the amendments renders the obtaining of written consent impractical; 2. That a survey of an area in excess of 40 acres has been made; 3. That a determination has been made that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code are related to the ovezall needs of the community, to existing land use, and to plans for future land use; and 4. That pursuant to State Statutes proper notice of the hearing was given in the Pioneer Press on December 28, 1994, and January 4 and 11, 1995. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission recommends approval of the zoning code amendments in the "Minor Zoning Amendments January 1995" study pertaining to zoning lots, useable floor area, and parking regulations and di.rects the Planning Administrator to forward the study and this resolution to the Mayor and City Council £or their review and action. moved by Morton seconded by in favor Unani�us against DEPARTMENT OF PLANNRJG & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 9��� CITY �r"' .Sf��1� PAVL DivirianofPlanning Norm Coleman, Mayor 25 West Fourth Sbeet Telephone. 612-366-656i Saint Pau{ M]V 55102 Facsimile.� 672-2?8-3319 MINOR ZONING AMENDMENTS January 1995 (rev.) r m pb �'��� - .�.1 MINOR ZONING AMENDMENTS January 1995 1. DEFINITIONS: USEABLE FLOOR AREA. Sec. 60.206. F. Floor area, useable. That area used for or intended to be used for the sale of merchandise or services, or for use to serve patrons, clients or customers and all that area devoted to employee workspace. Such floor area which is used or intended to be used principallv for the storaee of inerchandise, hallwavs. elevator or stair bulkheads or for utilities or sanitary facilities shall be excluded from this computation of "useable floor area." Measurement of usabie floor area shalI be the horizontal areas of the several floors of tfie buildin¢ . measured from the exterior faces to the exterior walls. TIus is the definirion of floor area that was previousIy used for the computation of off-street parking requirements; it was deleted from the code in eazly 1994 when the new parking requirements were adopted. This definition is also used in an interim zoning regulation of adult uses and needs to be added back into the code for that interim regulation. 2. DEFINITIONS AND NEW GENERAI, PROVISION: ZOI�TING LOT. Sec. 60.212. L. Lot, zoning. A single tract of Iand wIucfi, at the time of fiIing for a building permit, is designated by its owners or developers as a tract to be used, developed or built upon as a unit, under ownership or control of one person or joint tenants. A zoning lot shall �e-�a-eae-�g �c�a� satisfy this code with respect to azea, size, dimensions and frontage as required in the district, or zonin2 districts, in which the zoning lot is located. A zoning lot, therefore, may or may not coincide with a lot of record as filed with ttie counry recorder but may incIude one or more lots of record. Sec. 62.113. Zonin�Lot. More Than One Zoning Designation A use ma�be deveIoned on a zonin¢ lot tfiat has two or more zonin� district designations so long as the use is pemutted in each of the zoning districts. The minimum zonin� requirements of each district shall applY to that part of the zonine lot in each zonin�district. 9��� DISCUSSION T'he zoning and planning administrators have interpreted the code to allow a use to be developed on a"zoning lot" that l�as two zoning designations so long as the use is permitted in both districts. 3. PARKING REQUIREMENTS: MULTI-TENANT BUILDING. Sec. 62.103 (c) (c) Multi-tenant'��•'� buildings and shared spaces. The parking requirement for each use in a multi-tenant �iti-xse building shall be determined based on the percentage of the gross floor area used by each use in the multi-tenant �-xse building. Any shared space, such as an atrium, common area, utiliry area, unfinished basement, public or shared restrooms, staircase or elevator area shall be considered, for purposes of determining pazking requirements, the same as storage areas. Uses with access to these shared spaces shall be responsible for providing the required parking for these spaces. DISCUSSION The 1994 parking revision to Section 62.103 (c) requires off-street parking for shared space (such as restrooms and atriums) in "multi-use buildings". It was intended to require parking for multi-tenant buildings, those with more than one tenant, rather than those with more than one type of use. This amendment clarifies that mult-tenant buildings are regulated. 4. PARKING REQUIREMENTS: EFFECTIVE DATE FOR RULE OF 5. Sec. 62.103 (d) (1). (d) Change in use within a structure. When any uses which exist within a structure change to a new use, the following rules shall apply: (1) Change in use requiring additional parking. When any existing uses change to new uses which require six (6) or more additional off-street parking spaces than the existing uses, the six (6) or more additional spaces shall be provided along with the spaces already provided by the existing uses. New uses which require five (5) or fewer spaces than the existing uses shall be exempt from providing additional spaces. However, this exemption provision shall be calculated cumulatively so that no property receives a total exemption of more than five (5) spaces since the adoption of the provision �-�eat�Fyea� on January 3. 1994. �� ny.•` :! "�F.� �e _,. R-'+} � ,_ , The effective date was supposed to have been added to this 1994 revision but was inadvertenfly left out. 5. PARKING REQUIIZEMENTS: CARRYOUT RESTAURANT. Sec. 62.103 (g). Land Use Minimum Number of Parking Spaces Per Unit of Measure Restaurant, carryout i space per �?8 225 sq. ft. GFA The 1 space per 120 square feet of floor area requirement is too stringent; this requires more parking than is required for a sit-down restaurant. The proposed 1 space per 225 squaze feet of floor azea requirement is same as that for general retail; the previous parking requirement for carryout restaurants and general retail were also the same. 6. PARKING REQUIREMENTS: INTOXICATING LIQUOR, WINE, AND BEER. SEC. 62.103. (�. (� Rules for computing required parking: (3) There shall be provided off-street parking spaces for all nremises licensed for on- sale intoxicatin¢ liquor (excludine restaurants licensed for wine. strong beer. or nonintoxicatin�malt Iiquorl or ea� entertainment �gFe�ises as pzovided herein: a.

"Parldng shortfall" shall mean the difference between required parking pursuant to section 62.103(g) for the eacisting licensed structure minus the number of parking spaces actually provided for that structure. d. Expansion of a licensed structure with an on-sale intoxicating liquor � or � an entertainment license� or an upgrade in a an on-sale intoxicadn¢ liquor or entertainment license when located within suc hundred fifry (650) feet of another existing establishment with a an on-sale intoxicatin2liquor �F or entertainment license shall provide an additional fifteen (15) percent of any parking shortfall.
