(EXPLAIN) 9�- �� SELBY AVENUE PLAN Adopted by Selby Avenue Task Force 3/18/97 Amended by the City Council7/23/97 In July 1995, the City Council iniriated a Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Zoning Study for Selby Avenue between Aamline Avenue and Virginia Street. The Council noted that development progress had been made over the last 10 years but that there remained vacant and underutilized properry that could undermine the Avenue's stability and vitality. Accordingly, they asked that a task force be formed to develop a framework of future land use, zoning changes, and public/private investment for the Avenue for adoption by the Planning Commission and City Council. A task force was formed made up of representatives of the I.exington Hamline Community Council, Smnmit Universiry Planning Council, Ramsey Hill Association, Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Cathedral Hill Business Association, and area residents and business owners. (See the last section for task force members.) The task force met from January 1996 through November 1996 to draft this plan. They considered the existing 1993 I,exington Hamline and 1989 Selby Avenue Land Use small area plans for the avenue, existing zoning and land use, and the 1988 Communiry Design Center's marketing studies. They toured the avenue and met with staff of the Selby Area Community Development Corpora6on and Twin Cities Housing Development Corporation and property owners concerning possible B-2C zoning and rezoning of the business area between Oxford and Chatsworth. ISSUES AND ASSETS Here are the issues and assets of Selby Avenue that the task force has identified as those that the plan should deal with. Issues • Too many vacant business buildings and lots. • Poor appearance of buildings and streetscape. • Missing buildings in residential and business blocks. • Buildings turning their backs on the street - long blank walls face the street. • Vacant property at neighborhood gateway at Selby and Dale corners. • Perception that crime is worse than it actually is in area. ��- �� Assets • Good and affordable housing stock. • Opportuniry for new and e�anding businesses in vacant buildings and on vacant lots. • Proximity to downtown and state capitol jobs and cultural insritutions. • Well designed, historic buildings all along Selby. • Selby businesses can serve the neighborhood consumer market area between the Grand and University Avenues market azeas. • Three distinct parts to Selby - Western to Dale, Dale to Lexington, and I.exington to Hamline. • Neighborhood strength through celebrations and organizations. • Diverse population. • Selby is easily accessible and has strong name identification. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN Assumptions 1. Economic and physical conditions of buIldings on Selby Avenue have improved since the last plans were completed for Selby (1989 for Summit University and 1993 for Lexington-Hauiline). The commercial space at Western, much of which had been vacant, is now occupied. The business building at the northeast corner of Milton has been renovated for offices and housing, and affordable housing has been established between Chatsworth and Avon through rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. New businesses have been established, and more are being planned east of Dale. There have been significant investments in improvements to the residenual areas to the north and south of Selby. Those who live near, shop, or work on Selby l�ow that it is changing for the better. 2. While there have been recent improvements along Selby Avenue, much work is yet to be done to fill vacant building space, vacant lots, and rehabilitate buildings. Selby Avenue's trade area for neighborhood retail and services is lunited by competition from the existing businesses on Grand and University Avenues. 2 9�-�8i Suategies ve all Selby Avenue should remain a mi.zed use street of residential and business uses. The land use plan provides approximately 45 % residential use, 43 % business use and 12 % institutional use. (See map 1.) 2. Land planned for residential or commercial use should be zoned now to the agpropriate zoning district so that development can take place without having to go through rezoning petition processes. (See Map 2.) 3. Upon ciry adoption of this small area plan, its land use plan and zoning will be in accord with one another. In the future, requests for rezonings should be granted or denied based on a deternunation of whether or not the proposed residential or business development will iruprove the mixed use character of Selby Avenue. 4. The streetscape (the road, boulevard, sidewalk, signs, and lig&ting) of Selby Avenue should be made more attractive. Business 4. Improving the business areas on Selby will make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby. 5. The most important short term improvement for Selby is to develop businesses on the ciry owned land at the northeast and southwest corners of Dale. 6. The oppornxnity for business development will be increased by rezoning the following properties: (a) seven nonconforming business propefties are rezoned for business. Nonconfomvng business properties are used for business, but ue zoned residentially. In order to change to another business use or expand, a pernut is needed from the pluming comnnission. With the properties zoned business, businesses may change and expand if they meet the requirements of the business zone. These are the properties shown on Map 2 proposed to be rezoned to OS-1 or B-2located at Syndicate, the north side of the street between Griggs and Dunlap, at L,exington, on the south side of the street east of Grotto, on the north side of the sueet east of Mackubin, and at Virginia. 97- � �� (b) one vacant residentially zoned parcel on the south side of the sueet east of Kent next to an existing business is rezoned to business for business expansion or pazking. (c) two vacant residentially zoned parcels adjacent to vacant business properry at the souffiwest comer of Milton and Selby are rezoned to B-2. The adjacent business properties are rezoned to B-2 also so that the corner can be uniformly developed. 7. There have been many private and public improvements to the area east of Dale. In the future, public incentives and subsidies should be focused on the business areas between Dale and L,exington to encourage private development. 8. Working with the businesses, studies to determine physically and economically possible unprovements to the design of the business areas of Selby should be undertaken. The task force considered rezoning residential properties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zoning allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be converted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or offices.) The task force does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. Here are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: a. There are many vacant zoned business properties now; these should be developed before further business zoning is considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from these vacant properties. b. Adding business properry could unbalance the mix of residential and business along the street. c. Off-street parking that is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be provided by many properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to parking lots. The task force recommends that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 years to see if conditions warrant B-2C zoning at that tnne. In the meantime, property owners may petifion the city to rezone their property by following the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines should be considered for proposed rezoning to B-2C: a. Upon conversion to business the off-street parking can be provided on the property. 0 b. The properry has alley access. c. The business use of the property will not adversely affect nearby residential property. d. The petitioner shows that existing business space suitable for the use is unavailable elsewhere on Selby. Petirions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot and some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions should not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on the guidelines above. Residential 10. Develop infill housing on the two vacant residential lots on the south side of the street east of Milton and east of Victoria. 11. Continue to rehabilitate housing, especially between Chatsworth and Avon. 12. Five residential parcels are rezoned to reflect their current use and best future use. On the north side of 3elby at Griggs, two single family properties and one two-family property are rezoned to RT-1 (one and two family residential) from RM-2 (apartments). At the northwest and southwest corners of Mackubin, two condominium buildings are rezoned to RM-2 from B-2 (community business). I dustria 13. The plan no longer recommends industry on suc sites between Saint Albans and Milton as the 1989 plan did. Some limited light industry, such as printing, assembly of small precision goods, and wholesaling is allowed in B-3 zoning districts. This should be the means of allowing industrial development on Selby. If additional types of limited industry are found to be appropriate for Selby, then the B-3 zoning district regulations can be amended to allow them, either as pernutted or special condition uses. DESIGN GUIDELINES Most of Selby Avenue east of Dale is within the Historic Hill FIeritage Preservation District. New construction and exterior rehabIlitation is subject to the district's design guidelines and must be reviewed and approved by city staff or the commission before construction can begin. Selby Avenue west of Dale was developed at a later date than the Hill District, generally between 19�0 and 1940. The siting of buildings along this section, however, is similar to the Hill District, with business buildings placed at the sidewalk and often at the comers of blocks 9�- �� and residential buildings setback from the street. It is in the ciry's best interest to preserve and promote this distinct urban pattem of older cities. Good design is good for business and has a positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood. The design guidelines should be promoted by all who deal with development along the street - the district councils, the community development corporation, businesses owners, and residents. They should be used by city staff when reviewing proposed development in the site plan review process and when selling city owned land. Business areas New buildings (except those for auto oriented uses, such as gas stations) should be constructed at Yhe front lot line, next to the sidewalk. Buildings should not be set back from the street with parking in front of the building; this is largely a suburban development pattern and should be avoided on Selby. 2. On the ground floor of buildings, windows should face the street and be a dominaut feature of the building. The upper floors of buildings should be predominanfly solid. If windows have been filled in, ffiey should be opened as much possible. Windows on the street mean that there are more "eyes" on the street which can contribute to safety. 3. Building materials are important to the quality of business blocks and surrounding areas. The building materials of new buildings should relate to the materials of the surrounding buildings. For rehabilitation of existing buildings it is best to stay with the materials of the original building rather than attempting to change them. 4. Parking lots should be separated from the sidewalk by a landscaped strip. This will partially screen the lot and maintain the continuiry of buildings placed at the sidewalk. Residential 5. IVew buildings should be sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adjacent buildings. 6. Building materials are important to the quality of residential blocks and surrounding areas. The building materials of new buildings should relate to the materials of ttie surrounding buildings. For rehabilitafion of existing buildings it is best to stay with the- materials of the original building xather than attempting to change them.

A Selby Avenue action committee should be formed of stake holders in Selby's revitalization that consists of representatives of the L,exington-Hamline and the S�nuuit- University Community Councils, the Ramsey-Hill Association, Cathedral Hill Business Association, Selby Area Communiry Development Corporation, Concerned Citizen Focus Group, and individual neighborhood businesses and residents. They will refine the action plan and oversee its accomplishment_ 2. The land use portion of this plan iden6fies the area between Dale and Lexington as the area in which to focus revitalization efforts. Map 3 shows both publicly and privately owned vacant properry in the focus area on which the action plan will concentrate revitalization efforts. Table A shows the amount and zoning of vacant property. 0 97-7�'I 3. The focus area should be marketed as providing ffie best oppor�unities to do successful revitalization such as that which has already occurred at the east and west ends of the street. Market the focus area to retail and service businesses, financial institutions, government, and foundations for neighborhood and citywide businesses. 4. The committee should determine a budget needed to amact business development to Selby. The budget could designate funds for: • low anterest loans or grants for rehabilitation of e�sting buildings. • low interest loans or grants for new construction. • low interest loans or grants to move, expand or start-up businesses. • pyrking lot improvements. • design services to assist facade improvements. 5. The committee should seek money from a foundation to hire a staff person l�owledgeable about marketing and development to promote the street. 6. The committee should seek funds for the budget from city prograzns, such as STAR, the metropolitan counc3l's livable cities program, and foundations. 7. Existing grograms in place, such as the commercial loan, vacant building, enterprise leverage, and strategic inveshnent fund can be used on an individual basis. 8. The business and residential uses that will be sought are those pernutted by the underlying zoning of the property. 9. For businesses that serve the residendal neighborhood, the use of public incenuves should emphasis attracting complitnentary businesses. 10. More efforts should also be made to foster minoriry business start-ups, retention, and expansions from within the community. ll. The design guidelines of this plan will be used for siting new building and rehabilitaYion of existing buildings. 12. Public improvements to the Selby Avenue streetscape should be made that enhance its appearance and pedestrian safery and are historically comparible. 13. A program should be developed to keep Selby Avenue clean and attractive. 'I`his could be modeled on the Cathedral Hill Business Associations "adopt a block program" where businesses volunteered to keep a designated block clean during the summer. 14. The committee should promote the provision of adequate parking for Selby Avenue businesses and residences and explore the shared use of eusting pazking lots as a means of 10 g �- �� increasing parking. 15. Areas outside of the focus area should not be neglected. Rehabilitarion of e�sting buildings, new development, and parking improvements should be assisted as needed.

A draft plan and zoning study was developed during 1996 by a neighborhood-based task force and presented to the community at a meeting in January 1997. The task force approved it in Mazch 1997, and the Planning Commission, after a public hearing, recommended adoption of it by the City Council in May 1997. The Commission's resolutions recommending approval of the plan and zoning study are attached. The plan and study contains a land use plan, proposed rezonings to cany-out the plan, design guidelines, and an action plan foz public/private investment along Selby. Some major plan recommendations are that the avenue should remain a mixed use azea of residential and business uses, improving the business azeas (especially those between Dale and Lexington) will make the greatest contribution to revitalization, and efforts should be made to provide adequate parking for businesses and residents. I am pleased to transmit this plan to you for your review and action. Sincerely, ��`•, '"`" �QI'!'

The committee adopted a motion to recommendation to the Ciry Council that the 4 properties on the north side of Selby between Mackubin and Arundel be rezoned to B-2 and no further action be take on buffers and parking lot lighting. The committee also recommended that the Planning Commission act on the plan and that property owners outside the study area and within 350 feet of property proposed to be rezoned be notified of the City Council's public hearing and that in future 40-acre studies property owner outside the study area and within 350 feet also be noufied. RECOMMENDED CHANGES The Neighborhood Committee also recommended that the following changes to the Selby Avenue Plan be recommended to the City Council. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN (Page 4) 9. The task force considered rezoning residential properties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zoning allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be converted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or offices.) The task force does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. Here are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: �� _�� a. There are many vacant zoned business properties now; these should be developed before further business zoning is considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from these vacant properties. b. Adding bus'vness property could unbalance the mix of residential and -- business along the street. c. Off-street parking that is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be provided by many properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to parking lots. The task force recommends that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 yeazs to see if conditions warrant S-2C zoning at that time. In the meantime, property owners may petition the ciry to rezone theix property by following the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines should be considered for proposed rezoninQ to B-2C: ea. Petitions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot and some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions should not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on the guidelines below xbeve. a.b Upon conversion Yo business the off-street parking can be provided on the properry. �c. The property has alley access. ed. The business use of the property will not adversely affect nearby residential property. �e. The petitioner shows that aDnropriate e�istnxg business space suitable for the use is not reasonably available tma�xi3xb�e elsewhere on Selby. Moving old e to the front of this section as new a makes a more logical sequence. The changes to new e make this guideline more flexible. II ACTION PLAN (Page 9) 2. The land use portion of this plan identifies the area between Dale and Lexington as the area in which to focus revitalization efforts. Map 3 shows both publicly and privately owned vacant property in the focus area on which the action plan will concentrate revitalization efforts. Table A shows the amount and zoning of vacant properry. ,SSee item 15.) LrJ, a�-��I This change will help remind people that the other areas of Selby will not be neglected during the action phase. Resolutions aze attached. \�PEDt I�SYS\SHARED\WRWR)_.BKI ✓ CITY OF SAINf PAUL Norm Colem¢n, Mayar MEMORANDUM Date: May 19,1997 To: Neighborhood Committee From: Roger Ryan � Re: Selby Avenue Plan Testimony DEPARTMEIJT OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENI' Pamela Wheelocl� Directar 25 West Fowth Street Saint P¢u!, MN55102 � 1 � !Q ` Telephone: 612-166-6655 Facsimile: 671-218-3261 At the May 9 public hearing, James Coben and Peter Carlson objected to the proposed rezoning to B-2 of properry on the north side of Seiby between Mackubin and Arundel. Carlson also asked that because there aze lots on Selby that are only 115 feet deep that the screening and setback requirements between business and residential be changed to be more intense. He was also concemed about business parking lot lighting on residential property. The property proposed to be rezoned is now used and zoned as follows (map attached): 1. Pazcel 1: off-street parking for mixed-use building to the west (P-1). 2. Pazcel 2: business building used for storage (RM-2). 2. Parcel3: two family residential (Rm-2). 4. Pazcel 4: business building with chiropractor office (RM-2). Strategy 4 of the plan states that " improving the business areas of Selby will make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby ." One of the ways to do this is to rezone to business property now used for business but zoned residential. This allows business to change to another business or to expand if needed without having to spend time and effort on city permits for what can be small changes. ��-�� The predominant uses on these pazcels aze now business and rezoning to business will make zoning consistent with land use and with the non-residential uses aczoss Selby (restaurant and curling club) which aze zoned B-2. Staff recommends that the properties be zoned B-2. - SETBACKS AND SCREENING The zoning code now requires setbacks and screening as buffers when business and residential property meet at reaz property lines. Outdoor lighting is also regulated. A 10 foot setback is required when the wall of a business building with windows or doors faces a lot line of a residential use. A visual screen (fence, berm, or planted area) is required between a business parking lot and a residential lot line. Business parking lot lighting must be shielded to reduce glare and directed away from residential districts and residences so as to not exceed 3 foot candles at the propetty line. The above regulations apply through the city to all neighborhoods. The depth of Selby Avenue lots are not unusually shallow. Business lots with a depth of between 80 feet and 120 feet that are next to residential occurs along other streets, such as Arcade, Payne, Rice and West 7th. PUBLIC NOTIFTCATION FOR 40-ACRE STUDIES Mr Oben and Carlson who owri property adjoining and outside the study azea objected to not being notifaed of the public heazing. The Planning commission refened the issue of notification to surrounding areas to the committee. The long-standing practice for public notice for small area plans and 40-aces studies is to notify: l.everyone within the study area for the community meeting held by the task force; 2. Everyone who attended the community meeting and all property o�vners whose property is proposed to be rezoned for the Planning Commission's public hearing; and 3. Everyone in 2, above, and every one who testified at the Planning Commission's public hearing for the City Council's public hearing. This exceeds legal requirement for public notice which requires only nofice in the Pioneer Press for 3 weeks previous to the public heazing. Under present procedures property owners within the 40-acre study azea aze notified of proposed zoning changes so that they may comment on the proposal. Staff recommends that for future 40- acre zoning studies property owners outside the study area and within 350 feet of property proposed to be rezoned also be notified since the rezoning could have and effect on them. Staff 2 a'1-' �� also recommends that since notification for the commission's public hearing followed present procedures that the Selby 4Q-Acze Study go forwatd without another commission public hearing and that properiy owners meeting the new procedures be notified of the City CounciPs public hearing. � � . .�� '� � �;�. � l' `' `7 V � � [) _ � ��RTtN LU7HE � :=.T . , KiNG PQRK�� `� Y: � E ^ `�� , .�:3 3 �� C, � �� ? s � ,�C-' � '.� r -�-�• � � :3��-: '_.=.<E`;:�_«�J._ _ C ¢ {�i�l�l�l�l¢l�l�l CI � • • • • • � � ! !

PUSLTC HEARING: Selby Avenue Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Studv -(Roger Rynn) First Chair Gordon read the Statement of Purpose and Rules of Procedure fo� PubGc Hearina. - Mr. R}�an gave a short history and presentation of the plan and 40-acre study. He said that the City Council initiated this study in the summer of 1995. A task force was put together from the Summit University Planning Council, the Lex Ham Communiry Council, the Ramsey Hiil Association, the Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Cathedra Hill Business Association and residents and businesses in the area. The began meeting in late January, 1996, and finished their draft proposal in December of that year. A pu6lic meeting �vas held in the community in late January, 1997. The testimony was reviewed and considered. They adopted the plan in March of this year. He went on to explain that the plan is a land use plan, there's some proposed zoning chanves, and there's an action plan. The land use plan encourages the area to remain a mixed use in appro:cimately the proportions that it now has. There's I 1°lo institutional use (schoo!), the rest is approsimatety evenly divided beriveen business and residential use. The plan believes that by improving the businesses along Selby Avenue �vill make the greatest contribution toward revitalization of Selby Avenue. The short term goal is to develop the corner of Selby and Dale with business uses. The plan cites the area of concentration be behveen Dale $treet and Lexington Avenue. Rezonin�s to foster business development occur mostly with business buildings that are no�v used for business but are zoned residential or they are vacant land area next to business area that are proposed to be zoned business. The area east of Dale Street on Selby Avenue is largely in the Historic Hill District, where there are design guidelines. This plan proposes design guidelines for the remainder of Selby Avenue, adopted from the Hill District guidelines. The action plan states that a coalition be formed of the groups �vho ha��e a stake in 2 �1-�� development alon� the Avenue, those tvho �vere part of the task force plus the residents and businesses «�ho may nof have been affiliated �vith the task force. The coalition is charged �cith estimating ho�v much money tvill be needed for revitalization of the Avenue and developing a budget. It is also recommended that they secure money from a foundation to hire a staff person who would promote and market development along Selby Avenue. T�vo more sections of the action p]an recommend using the STAR proQram and the Metropolitan Liveable Communities program to also help revitalize the area. There are a number of other City programs which can also be used for busine;s and residentia] development. Testimonv 1. James Coben, 490 Dayton Avenue, addressed the Commission. He raised hvo concerns: 1) is a process concem; and 2) is a specific concem about one of the rezonings proposals. As an adjoining land owner, living on Dayton bet�veen McKuben and Arundel, he noted that he did not get any notice regarding this plan. He thinks this is a serious prdcess problem. �Vith respect to a specific rezoning proposed right behind his house, he does not like the idea that without his knowing about it, property that's currendy a parking lot or residential property could be converted to business; and he would not have a say in it. He thinks that is not a good idea or good planning. Peter Carlson, 482 Dayton Avenue, addressed the Commission. He's an architect and is somewhat concerned about the process and also about the proposals. He noted that the lots on Selby Avenue are smaller than on Grand (I I S feet deep and 40 feet wide), and most of them are also without alley, so you are right on top of the property behind you. He finds the pfan "woefully lacking". He strongly urged Commissioners to look at the screening and the setback requirements for this area and make some changes. He also has a concern about site work that never gets completed after construction, like the planting of trees and shrubbery, and the installation of screenin� devices. He questions whether occupants should be allowed to occupy a buildin� before they have finished the work they have said they �could do, and he urged the Commission to consider that question. He is also concerned about noise ordinances, and unbecoming. behavior like urinating on someone's front steps, ete. Another concern is the effect that next door parking lot ]ighting has on residential dwetlings. He stated that although Saint Paul has an ordinance, it is not interpreted very well. He ureed that a stronger effort be made to help business and residential areas in very close proximity, coexist. He repeatedly remarked that his plan's main interest is to foster business, and so these types of restrictions have been avoided. Finally, he asked the question, "What's the matter �vith the old plan?" He su=gested that the City generates p]ans ever few years, and doesn't follow through with the old �,� �`� 1 plans. He question the section of the p3an that intends to raze a$150,000 house in order to put in a parking lot. Perhaps this area is badly zoned; it should be RiVi-2. To recapitulate, he encouraged the Planning Commission to stren�then those parts of the plan that have to do with the separation of residen[ial and business districts, and to consider tvhy i['s not possible to make plans tliat are good for more than two y'ears? h'IOTION: Commissioner Geisser ntovect the pzrblic hearirtg be closed, that peebZic comments be accepted for the next foztr days, ancl that the Selby Aventte Sntall Area Plara ar7d 40-Acre S�:rdy be referred bnck to the A'eighborhoorl Plan�ring and La�rd Use Conan:ittee. The motion x•as seconcled by Comnrissioner Kramer. Commissioner Vau�ht commented that he, of course, was aware of this plan because he is on this Commission; however, he like Mr. Coben, lives on Dayton Avenue and has property exactly like his, that abuts property on Selby Avenue without an adjoining alley, and in addition, is a member of a condominium association that o�vns property on Selby Avenue, and he received no other notification but those �vhich he received because he is a member of the Planning Commission. Mr. Ryan explained that for 40-acre studies there are three hearings: 1) the community meeting/hearing, that �oas held in January; 2) the Plarming Commission hearin„ and 3) the City Council hearing. For the communiry meeting, notices are sent to everyone within the study area. Notices are not sent to anyone outside of the study. For the Planning Commission public hearing, notices are sent to owners of all of the property proposed to be rezoned plus all of the people who were at the community meeting. The same notification procedure is foliowed for the City Counci( hearing. He added that various neighborhood organizations flyer the community about the community meeting. Commissioner Vaught said it was h'ss understanding that a regulaz rezoning includes a notice requirement of propeRies within a certain number of feet from the property to be rezoned. He stated that it troubled him a lot that rezonings are treated differently in a 40- acre study, �vith regard to notification, because the City is using two different standards. Commissioner Nowlin asked if the distance requirement was not 35 0 feet in rezonings. Mr. Ryan replied that it was, but for petitions, not for 40-acre studies. Commissioner Nowlin noted that his concem is that if we're rezoning by a comp plan amendment, that 1) we mi�ht have legal validity questions; and 2) with the interest in doing a good job, notification should be extended to a certain number of feet from the boundary of the study area. He encouraged someone to draft language that inc]uded Mr. Carlson's critical comments, which he feels could be quite helpful. Commissioner Nordin asked if these requests to rezone would come before the Commission individually at another time or would approving this plan rezone those properties a�-�.�� automatical ly. Mr. Ryan replied that approving this plan �could rezone all of the proposed properties. Mr. Ryan also explained Fvhat is contained in ihe notices that are placed in the Legal Ledger and the Saint Pa:rl Pioneer Press. Commissioner Fiefd commented on Commissioner Nordin's observation that once this 40- acre study is approved, the land is rezoned but the existino uses are grand fathered in as non-conforming,butpermitted uses. Commissioner Kramer added that when this is actually considered, there will be hvo votes: I) one that adopts the small area plan; and 2) one that adopts the 40-acre study (rezonings); but typically, they are acted on at the same time. Commissioner Vaught stated that both he and Commissioner Treichel (sitting next to him) had not realized that in the context of a 40-acre study you could own a piece of property immediately adjacent to a piece of property that was to be rezoned and not receive any notice about, yet if that same rezoning were to be done in a different process, the City is required by law to notify people within a certain distance from that property. He thinks this is bad policy and the Planning Commission ought to change it. Commissioner Geisser expressed that she is stunned 6ecause bother she and Commissioner Treichel have chaired many small area plans and have never has this problem before, Commissioner Field commented that there has to be a way to improve the notification process for future pfans, and the Plannin� Commission should resolve the inconsistency in the notification processes that became apparent today. Mr. Ford commented that he was having similar thoughts to Commissioner Geisser's. He thinks that perhaps the reason why notification was a problem �vith this plan has to do �vith the particular nature of this study area that is very narrow and linear, and alI the properties to be rezoned are on the edae of the study area and affects adjacent property owners that may not, for one reason or another, have been that well notified or involved in the process. This may suggest that there's a loophole here which ordinarily doesn't make much difference. Chair Gordon noted that the Committee �vill take this under advisement. The motion on the,floor to close the pa{blic hearing, to accept pzrblic comments for the next four dcrys, and refer the Selby Avenzre Sn:all flrea Plan and 40 Acre Study back to the Neighborhood Planning and Lancl Use Canmittee carried unanimotaly on a voice vote. MOTION: Commissioner Treichel moved that the notification issue, rovith respect to properties sterrozrnding the arec� immediately adjacent to a small area plan and 40-acre stz�dy, be referred to the Neighborhoocl Planning and Land Use Committee for an item to be deali tivith, ifpossible, on their next ngenda, before this particular smatt area plan is �1.-�� completecl. Conunissioner Yaught seconcled the motior: which carried unanintously on a VO7C2 VOIZ. V. Zoning Committee #97-0�9 Uni��ers�l Outdoor Inc. - Appeal the Zoning Administrator's decision to deny a permit for an adverYising sign at 2100 Gi1beR Avenue; zoned I-1. Commissioner Field stated that after considerable testimony from staff and the appellant, it came to the Zonin� Committee's attention that there �vas a compromise in the norhs that mi�ht alteviate some of the problem. Based upon that, the Committee voted for a temporary suspension of the appellanPs case, pending determination as to whether or not that solution w�ould or would not be viable. #97-068 Kuan Chen - Special condition use permit to alloGV general auto repair at 1523 Como Avenue; zoned B-3. Commissioner Field said that in testimony for this case, it came out that there is a second special condition use permit applicabfe to the same piece of property involving the _ automobile business. The Committee identified that if it granted hvo special condi[ion use permits, each permitting, as an example, I S vehictes at the site, it is possible, while we intended a tota] of 15 vehicles, that through each SCUP be granting a total of 30 vehicles.

The Council noted tha development progress had been made over the last 10 yeazs but that there remained vaca and underutilized property that could undernrine the Avenue's stability and vitality. Accor ' gly, they asked that a task force be formed to develop a framework of future land use, zo " changes, and public/private investment for the Avenue for adoption by the Plannin ommission and City Council. A task force was formed made up of representatives of the Lex' ton Hamline Community Council, Sununit University Planning Council, Ramsey Hill A ociation, Selby Area Communiry Development Corporation, Cathedral Hill Busin s Association, and area residents and business owners. (See the last section for task force mbers.) The task force met from January 1496 through November 1996 to draft this plan. hey considered the existing 1993 L,exington Hamline and 1989 Selby Avenue L,and t3se all area plans for the avenue, existing zoning and land use, and the 1988 Community Desig Center's marketing studies. They toured the avenue and met with staff of the Selby ea Communiry Development Corporation and Twin Cities Housing Development Corporati and property owners concerning possible B-2C zoning and rezoning of the business area tween Oxford and Chatsworth. ISSUES AND ASSETS Aere are the issues and assets of Selby venue that the task force has identified as those that the plan should deal with. Issues • Too many vacant bus' ss buildings and lots. • Poor appearance o�buildings and streetscape. • Missing buildi�s in residential and business blocks. • Buildings t}frning their backs on the street - long blank walls face the street. • Vacant�roperry at neighborhood gateway at Selby and Dale corners. • Peryfeption that crnne is worse than it actually-is in area. 1 ��1 _��l Assets Good and affordable housing stock. Opportunity for new and expanding businesses in vacant Proximity to downtown and state capitol jobs and Well designed, historic buildings all along Selby. • Selby businesses can serve the neighborhood and Universiry Avenues market areas. • Three distinct parts to Selby - Western to Hamline. � Neighborhood strength through ❑ Diverse gopulation. and on vacant lots. market area between the Grand to L.exington, and L.exington to and arganizations. Selby is easily accessible and has syfong name identification. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN Assumptions 1. Economac and physical c nditions of buildings on Selby Avenue have improved since the last plans were co leted for Selby (1989 for Summit Universiry and 1993 for L,exington-Hamiine). he commercial space at Westem, much of which had been vacant, is now occu ied. The business building at the northeast comer of Milton has been renovated fo offices and housing, and affordable housing has been established between Chatsw and Avon through rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. ew bus9nesses have been established, and more are being planned east of Dale. The e have been significant investments in improvements to the residentiai areas to the orth and south of Selby. Those who live neaz, shop, or work on Selby know that ' is changing for ihe better. 2. � While tl�'ere have been recent improvements along Selby Avenue, much work is yet to be don�E to fill vacant building space, vacant lots, and rehabilitate buildings. Avenue's uade area for neighborhood retail and services is lunited by :tition from the existing businesses on Grand and Universiry Avenues. `� °►�-�1�1 Strategies Overall Selby Avenue should remain a mixed use street of residential and business land use plan provides approximately 45 % residential use, 43 % business u institutional use. (See map 1.) � �. The and 12 % 2. Land planned for residential or commercial use should be zoned no to the appropriate zoning district so that development can take place without having go through rezoning petition processes. (See Map 2.) Upon city adoption of this small area plan, its land use accard with one another. In the future, requests for res denied based on a determination of whether or not the development will improve the mixed use character of r � The streetscape (the road, boulevard, sidewalk, should be made more attractive. ,�nd zoning wiil be in ;s should be granted or �sed residential or business Avenue. and lighting) of Selby Avenue Business 4. 5. Improving the business areas on Selby w' 1 make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby. The most important short term imp ovement for Selby is to develop businesses on the city owned land at the northeast d southwest corners of Dale. The opportunity for properties: (a) seven will be increased by rezoning the following ming business properties are rezoned for business. business properties are used for business, but are zoned reside ally. In order to change to another business use or expand, a pe t is needed from the planning commission. With the properties zoned b siness, businesses may change and expand if they meet the requirements of the business zone. These are the properties shown on Map 2 proposed to be rezoned to OS-1 or B-2located at Syndicate, the north side of the street between Griggs and Dunlap, at I.exington, on the south side of the street east of Grotto, on the north side of the street east of Mackubin, and at Virginia. 3 ° YI (b) one vacant residentially zoned parcel on the south side of the street east of Kent next to an existing business is rezoned to business for business expansion or parking. (c) two vacant residentially zoned parcels adjacent to vacant bus' ess properry ___ at the southwest corner of Milton and Selby are rezoned to -2. The adjacent business properties are rezoned to B-2 also so t the corner can be uniformly developed. There have been many private and public unprovements to th area east of Dale. In the future, public incentives and subsidies should be focused on e business areas between Dale and Lexington to encourage private development. 8. Working with the businesses, studies to deterznine phy cally and economically possible unprovements to the design of the business areas of Iby should be undertaken. 9. The task force considered rezoning residential pr erties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zo ' g allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be con erted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or off'ices.) The task for e does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. ere are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: a. There are many vacant zoned b iness properties now; these should be developed before further business zonin s considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from the� vacant properties. Adding business the street. Off-street parking provided by man� parking lots. � The task force could unbalance the mix of residential and business along yi4at is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 years to see if conditions wa ant B-2C zoning at that time. In the mea ime, property owners may petiuon the city to rezone their property by followin the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines shouid be conside ed for proposed rezoning to B-2C: a. �'Jpon conversion to business the off-street parking can be provided on the property. 0 °��-�� Q c. The property has alley access. The business use of the properry will not adversely affect nearby properry. The petitioner shows that existing business space suitable for the elsewhere on Selby. unavailable e. Petitions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot d some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions ould not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on e guidelines above. Residentiai 10. Develop infill housing on the two vacant residential lo on the south side of the street east of Milton and east of VicYOria. 11. Continue to zehabilitate housing, especially betw en Chatsworth and Avon. 12. Five residential parcels are rezoned to reflec their current use and best future use. On the north side of Selby at Griggs, two sing family properties and one two-family property are rezoned to RT-1 (one and t o family residential) from RM-2 (apartments). At the narthwest and southwest corner of Mackubin, two condominium buildings are rezoned to RM-2 from B-2 (commu ' business). Industrial 13.

Most of Selby Avenue east of Dale is within the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. New construction an exterior rehabilitation is subject to the district's design guidelines and must be reviewed a d approved by city staff or the commission before construction can began. Selby Avenue w st of Dale was developed at a later date than the Hill District, generally between 1900 d 1940. The siting of buildings along this section, however, is similar to the Hill Disuict, ith business buIldings placed at the sidewalk and often at the corners of blocks ��-�� and residential buildings setback from the street. It is in the city's best interest to pt promote this distinct urban pattern of older cities. Good design is good for business positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood. The design guidelines should be promoted by ali who deal with development alo the street - the district councils, the community development corporation, businesses owne , and residents. They should be used by city staff when reviewing proposed devel ment in the site plan review process and when selling city owned land. Business areas i. New buildings (except those for auto orienied uses, such as s stations) shouid be constructed at the front lot line, next to the sidewalk. Buil gs should not be set back �� from the street with parking in front of ihe building; this ' largely a suburban development pattern and should be avoided on Selby. On the ground floor of buildings, windows should ce the street and be a dominant feature of the building. �'he upper floors of build' gs should be predominantly solid. If windows have been filled in, they should be ened as much possible. Windows on the street mean that there are more "eyes" on e street which can contribute to safety. Buiiding materials are important to the qu ity of business blocks and surrounding areas: The building materials ofnew b' dings shouid relate to the materials of the surrounding buildings. For rehabilitaf n of existing buildings it is best to stay with the materials of the original building ra er than attempting to change them. Parking lots should be separated om the sidewalk by a landscaped strip. This will partially screen the lot and ma' tain the continuity of buildings placed at the sidewalk. Residential New buildings should b sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adj ent buildings. 6.

I formally object to the City of St. Pau1 rezoning my properky to OS-1. My opposition is premised on the fact, al4 othsr non conforming business properties on Selby Avenue, proposed rezoning designations are based upon their respective current usage. The proposed rezoning of my property is not being handled consistently. It is my position that my property should not be rezoned to OS-1. Be advised that the current usage of the property is a retail/service business not office. I am perpiexed by the proposed zoning classification Consistent with my opposition, I ask the St. Paul City Council not rezone my property to OS-1. In the alternative, I do not object to rezoning the property to B-3, its current usage. Thank you � � � i� -, i�4��f��r � . -:�. . � !I 1 � �l - �l � l METROWORKS, INCORPORATED 175 N. Lexington Parkway St. Paul, Minnesota 55104 Telephone 612-647-5000 Jerry Blakey St. Paul City Council 3rd Floor 15 W. Kellogg B1vd St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 RE: Selby Avenue Small Area Plan 175 N. Lex'vngton Parkway aka 1103 Selby Avenue Dear Councilman Blakey: This Ietter is formaS opposition to the proposed rezoning of the property above referenced to OS-1 from its current zoning of RM-2. The opposition is two-fold. First, it is my understanding that al] proposed rezoning is premised upon changing certain non-conforming business properties to their current usage. The subject property is currently being used as a retail business with cosmetic services. Having stated ttus, the recommendation of OS-1 cause me di�culty, as while under the Zoning Code, section 60.514, the cunent usage is permitted, the usage is subject to a special conditions pernut. Subjecting this property to a specia] conditions permit process, subject to approval by the planning commission, is inconsistent with the stated goa] of the rezoning and the handling of other properties similarly situated. �EC��u�a 3Ut 2 2 '�� IERRY B�AKEY July 21, 1997 Second, a non-confoz•ming use pernut has been granted the property and rezoning of the property from RM-2 to OS-1 wili change the property from residential to commercial. The rezoning to OS-1 wili materially affect the property taaces, which the additional expense must be borne by us, the business owner. In this regard, this rezoning offers no advantages to the property owner or the business. .. ,° Jerry Blakey -July 21, 1997- �t�-'l�l It is claar, based upon the expressed purpose of rezoning non•conPorming busin� properties, the proposed OS-1 zoning is selective, arbitrary and inconsistent. In this regard, it appears to me that the propased rezoning should have been B-3. In fiu�therance of my opposition, I believe that the St. Paul City Councit should not rezone the property to OS-1 but instead rezone to B-3. Your attention attd due consideration to this important matter would be appreciated. Sincerely, � -. . David J � . J ""`�^ L,A- c.a Georgina Y.

(EXPLAIN) 9�- �� SELBY AVENUE PLAN Adopted by Selby Avenue Task Force 3/18/97 Amended by the City Council7/23/97 In July 1995, the City Council iniriated a Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Zoning Study for Selby Avenue between Aamline Avenue and Virginia Street. The Council noted that development progress had been made over the last 10 years but that there remained vacant and underutilized properry that could undermine the Avenue's stability and vitality. Accordingly, they asked that a task force be formed to develop a framework of future land use, zoning changes, and public/private investment for the Avenue for adoption by the Planning Commission and City Council. A task force was formed made up of representatives of the I.exington Hamline Community Council, Smnmit Universiry Planning Council, Ramsey Hill Association, Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Cathedral Hill Business Association, and area residents and business owners. (See the last section for task force members.) The task force met from January 1996 through November 1996 to draft this plan. They considered the existing 1993 I,exington Hamline and 1989 Selby Avenue Land Use small area plans for the avenue, existing zoning and land use, and the 1988 Communiry Design Center's marketing studies. They toured the avenue and met with staff of the Selby Area Community Development Corpora6on and Twin Cities Housing Development Corporation and property owners concerning possible B-2C zoning and rezoning of the business area between Oxford and Chatsworth. ISSUES AND ASSETS Here are the issues and assets of Selby Avenue that the task force has identified as those that the plan should deal with. Issues • Too many vacant business buildings and lots. • Poor appearance of buildings and streetscape. • Missing buildings in residential and business blocks. • Buildings turning their backs on the street - long blank walls face the street. • Vacant property at neighborhood gateway at Selby and Dale corners. • Perception that crime is worse than it actually is in area. ��- �� Assets • Good and affordable housing stock. • Opportuniry for new and e�anding businesses in vacant buildings and on vacant lots. • Proximity to downtown and state capitol jobs and cultural insritutions. • Well designed, historic buildings all along Selby. • Selby businesses can serve the neighborhood consumer market area between the Grand and University Avenues market azeas. • Three distinct parts to Selby - Western to Dale, Dale to Lexington, and I.exington to Hamline. • Neighborhood strength through celebrations and organizations. • Diverse population. • Selby is easily accessible and has strong name identification. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN Assumptions 1. Economic and physical conditions of buIldings on Selby Avenue have improved since the last plans were completed for Selby (1989 for Summit University and 1993 for Lexington-Hauiline). The commercial space at Western, much of which had been vacant, is now occupied. The business building at the northeast corner of Milton has been renovated for offices and housing, and affordable housing has been established between Chatsworth and Avon through rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. New businesses have been established, and more are being planned east of Dale. There have been significant investments in improvements to the residenual areas to the north and south of Selby. Those who live near, shop, or work on Selby l�ow that it is changing for the better. 2. While there have been recent improvements along Selby Avenue, much work is yet to be done to fill vacant building space, vacant lots, and rehabilitate buildings. Selby Avenue's trade area for neighborhood retail and services is lunited by competition from the existing businesses on Grand and University Avenues. 2 9�-�8i Suategies ve all Selby Avenue should remain a mi.zed use street of residential and business uses. The land use plan provides approximately 45 % residential use, 43 % business use and 12 % institutional use. (See map 1.) 2. Land planned for residential or commercial use should be zoned now to the agpropriate zoning district so that development can take place without having to go through rezoning petition processes. (See Map 2.) 3. Upon ciry adoption of this small area plan, its land use plan and zoning will be in accord with one another. In the future, requests for rezonings should be granted or denied based on a deternunation of whether or not the proposed residential or business development will iruprove the mixed use character of Selby Avenue. 4. The streetscape (the road, boulevard, sidewalk, signs, and lig&ting) of Selby Avenue should be made more attractive. Business 4. Improving the business areas on Selby will make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby. 5. The most important short term improvement for Selby is to develop businesses on the ciry owned land at the northeast and southwest corners of Dale. 6. The oppornxnity for business development will be increased by rezoning the following properties: (a) seven nonconforming business propefties are rezoned for business. Nonconfomvng business properties are used for business, but ue zoned residentially. In order to change to another business use or expand, a pernut is needed from the pluming comnnission. With the properties zoned business, businesses may change and expand if they meet the requirements of the business zone. These are the properties shown on Map 2 proposed to be rezoned to OS-1 or B-2located at Syndicate, the north side of the street between Griggs and Dunlap, at L,exington, on the south side of the street east of Grotto, on the north side of the sueet east of Mackubin, and at Virginia. 97- � �� (b) one vacant residentially zoned parcel on the south side of the sueet east of Kent next to an existing business is rezoned to business for business expansion or pazking. (c) two vacant residentially zoned parcels adjacent to vacant business properry at the souffiwest comer of Milton and Selby are rezoned to B-2. The adjacent business properties are rezoned to B-2 also so that the corner can be uniformly developed. 7. There have been many private and public improvements to the area east of Dale. In the future, public incentives and subsidies should be focused on the business areas between Dale and L,exington to encourage private development. 8. Working with the businesses, studies to determine physically and economically possible unprovements to the design of the business areas of Selby should be undertaken. The task force considered rezoning residential properties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zoning allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be converted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or offices.) The task force does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. Here are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: a. There are many vacant zoned business properties now; these should be developed before further business zoning is considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from these vacant properties. b. Adding business properry could unbalance the mix of residential and business along the street. c. Off-street parking that is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be provided by many properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to parking lots. The task force recommends that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 years to see if conditions warrant B-2C zoning at that tnne. In the meantime, property owners may petifion the city to rezone their property by following the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines should be considered for proposed rezoning to B-2C: a. Upon conversion to business the off-street parking can be provided on the property. 0 b. The properry has alley access. c. The business use of the property will not adversely affect nearby residential property. d. The petitioner shows that existing business space suitable for the use is unavailable elsewhere on Selby. Petirions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot and some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions should not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on the guidelines above. Residential 10. Develop infill housing on the two vacant residential lots on the south side of the street east of Milton and east of Victoria. 11. Continue to rehabilitate housing, especially between Chatsworth and Avon. 12. Five residential parcels are rezoned to reflect their current use and best future use. On the north side of 3elby at Griggs, two single family properties and one two-family property are rezoned to RT-1 (one and two family residential) from RM-2 (apartments). At the northwest and southwest corners of Mackubin, two condominium buildings are rezoned to RM-2 from B-2 (community business). I dustria 13. The plan no longer recommends industry on suc sites between Saint Albans and Milton as the 1989 plan did. Some limited light industry, such as printing, assembly of small precision goods, and wholesaling is allowed in B-3 zoning districts. This should be the means of allowing industrial development on Selby. If additional types of limited industry are found to be appropriate for Selby, then the B-3 zoning district regulations can be amended to allow them, either as pernutted or special condition uses. DESIGN GUIDELINES Most of Selby Avenue east of Dale is within the Historic Hill FIeritage Preservation District. New construction and exterior rehabIlitation is subject to the district's design guidelines and must be reviewed and approved by city staff or the commission before construction can begin. Selby Avenue west of Dale was developed at a later date than the Hill District, generally between 19�0 and 1940. The siting of buildings along this section, however, is similar to the Hill District, with business buildings placed at the sidewalk and often at the comers of blocks 9�- �� and residential buildings setback from the street. It is in the ciry's best interest to preserve and promote this distinct urban pattem of older cities. Good design is good for business and has a positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood. The design guidelines should be promoted by all who deal with development along the street - the district councils, the community development corporation, businesses owners, and residents. They should be used by city staff when reviewing proposed development in the site plan review process and when selling city owned land. Business areas New buildings (except those for auto oriented uses, such as gas stations) should be constructed at Yhe front lot line, next to the sidewalk. Buildings should not be set back from the street with parking in front of the building; this is largely a suburban development pattern and should be avoided on Selby. 2. On the ground floor of buildings, windows should face the street and be a dominaut feature of the building. The upper floors of buildings should be predominanfly solid. If windows have been filled in, ffiey should be opened as much possible. Windows on the street mean that there are more "eyes" on the street which can contribute to safety. 3. Building materials are important to the quality of business blocks and surrounding areas. The building materials of new buildings should relate to the materials of the surrounding buildings. For rehabilitation of existing buildings it is best to stay with the materials of the original building rather than attempting to change them. 4. Parking lots should be separated from the sidewalk by a landscaped strip. This will partially screen the lot and maintain the continuiry of buildings placed at the sidewalk. Residential 5. IVew buildings should be sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adjacent buildings. 6. Building materials are important to the quality of residential blocks and surrounding areas. The building materials of new buildings should relate to the materials of ttie surrounding buildings. For rehabilitafion of existing buildings it is best to stay with the- materials of the original building xather than attempting to change them.

A Selby Avenue action committee should be formed of stake holders in Selby's revitalization that consists of representatives of the L,exington-Hamline and the S�nuuit- University Community Councils, the Ramsey-Hill Association, Cathedral Hill Business Association, Selby Area Communiry Development Corporation, Concerned Citizen Focus Group, and individual neighborhood businesses and residents. They will refine the action plan and oversee its accomplishment_ 2. The land use portion of this plan iden6fies the area between Dale and Lexington as the area in which to focus revitalization efforts. Map 3 shows both publicly and privately owned vacant properry in the focus area on which the action plan will concentrate revitalization efforts. Table A shows the amount and zoning of vacant property. 0 97-7�'I 3. The focus area should be marketed as providing ffie best oppor�unities to do successful revitalization such as that which has already occurred at the east and west ends of the street. Market the focus area to retail and service businesses, financial institutions, government, and foundations for neighborhood and citywide businesses. 4. The committee should determine a budget needed to amact business development to Selby. The budget could designate funds for: • low anterest loans or grants for rehabilitation of e�sting buildings. • low interest loans or grants for new construction. • low interest loans or grants to move, expand or start-up businesses. • pyrking lot improvements. • design services to assist facade improvements. 5. The committee should seek money from a foundation to hire a staff person l�owledgeable about marketing and development to promote the street. 6. The committee should seek funds for the budget from city prograzns, such as STAR, the metropolitan counc3l's livable cities program, and foundations. 7. Existing grograms in place, such as the commercial loan, vacant building, enterprise leverage, and strategic inveshnent fund can be used on an individual basis. 8. The business and residential uses that will be sought are those pernutted by the underlying zoning of the property. 9. For businesses that serve the residendal neighborhood, the use of public incenuves should emphasis attracting complitnentary businesses. 10. More efforts should also be made to foster minoriry business start-ups, retention, and expansions from within the community. ll. The design guidelines of this plan will be used for siting new building and rehabilitaYion of existing buildings. 12. Public improvements to the Selby Avenue streetscape should be made that enhance its appearance and pedestrian safery and are historically comparible. 13. A program should be developed to keep Selby Avenue clean and attractive. 'I`his could be modeled on the Cathedral Hill Business Associations "adopt a block program" where businesses volunteered to keep a designated block clean during the summer. 14. The committee should promote the provision of adequate parking for Selby Avenue businesses and residences and explore the shared use of eusting pazking lots as a means of 10 g �- �� increasing parking. 15. Areas outside of the focus area should not be neglected. Rehabilitarion of e�sting buildings, new development, and parking improvements should be assisted as needed.

A draft plan and zoning study was developed during 1996 by a neighborhood-based task force and presented to the community at a meeting in January 1997. The task force approved it in Mazch 1997, and the Planning Commission, after a public hearing, recommended adoption of it by the City Council in May 1997. The Commission's resolutions recommending approval of the plan and zoning study are attached. The plan and study contains a land use plan, proposed rezonings to cany-out the plan, design guidelines, and an action plan foz public/private investment along Selby. Some major plan recommendations are that the avenue should remain a mixed use azea of residential and business uses, improving the business azeas (especially those between Dale and Lexington) will make the greatest contribution to revitalization, and efforts should be made to provide adequate parking for businesses and residents. I am pleased to transmit this plan to you for your review and action. Sincerely, ��`•, '"`" �QI'!'

The committee adopted a motion to recommendation to the Ciry Council that the 4 properties on the north side of Selby between Mackubin and Arundel be rezoned to B-2 and no further action be take on buffers and parking lot lighting. The committee also recommended that the Planning Commission act on the plan and that property owners outside the study area and within 350 feet of property proposed to be rezoned be notified of the City Council's public hearing and that in future 40-acre studies property owner outside the study area and within 350 feet also be noufied. RECOMMENDED CHANGES The Neighborhood Committee also recommended that the following changes to the Selby Avenue Plan be recommended to the City Council. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN (Page 4) 9. The task force considered rezoning residential properties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zoning allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be converted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or offices.) The task force does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. Here are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: �� _�� a. There are many vacant zoned business properties now; these should be developed before further business zoning is considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from these vacant properties. b. Adding bus'vness property could unbalance the mix of residential and -- business along the street. c. Off-street parking that is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be provided by many properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to parking lots. The task force recommends that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 yeazs to see if conditions warrant S-2C zoning at that time. In the meantime, property owners may petition the ciry to rezone theix property by following the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines should be considered for proposed rezoninQ to B-2C: ea. Petitions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot and some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions should not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on the guidelines below xbeve. a.b Upon conversion Yo business the off-street parking can be provided on the properry. �c. The property has alley access. ed. The business use of the property will not adversely affect nearby residential property. �e. The petitioner shows that aDnropriate e�istnxg business space suitable for the use is not reasonably available tma�xi3xb�e elsewhere on Selby. Moving old e to the front of this section as new a makes a more logical sequence. The changes to new e make this guideline more flexible. II ACTION PLAN (Page 9) 2. The land use portion of this plan identifies the area between Dale and Lexington as the area in which to focus revitalization efforts. Map 3 shows both publicly and privately owned vacant property in the focus area on which the action plan will concentrate revitalization efforts. Table A shows the amount and zoning of vacant properry. ,SSee item 15.) LrJ, a�-��I This change will help remind people that the other areas of Selby will not be neglected during the action phase. Resolutions aze attached. \�PEDt I�SYS\SHARED\WRWR)_.BKI ✓ CITY OF SAINf PAUL Norm Colem¢n, Mayar MEMORANDUM Date: May 19,1997 To: Neighborhood Committee From: Roger Ryan � Re: Selby Avenue Plan Testimony DEPARTMEIJT OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENI' Pamela Wheelocl� Directar 25 West Fowth Street Saint P¢u!, MN55102 � 1 � !Q ` Telephone: 612-166-6655 Facsimile: 671-218-3261 At the May 9 public hearing, James Coben and Peter Carlson objected to the proposed rezoning to B-2 of properry on the north side of Seiby between Mackubin and Arundel. Carlson also asked that because there aze lots on Selby that are only 115 feet deep that the screening and setback requirements between business and residential be changed to be more intense. He was also concemed about business parking lot lighting on residential property. The property proposed to be rezoned is now used and zoned as follows (map attached): 1. Pazcel 1: off-street parking for mixed-use building to the west (P-1). 2. Pazcel 2: business building used for storage (RM-2). 2. Parcel3: two family residential (Rm-2). 4. Pazcel 4: business building with chiropractor office (RM-2). Strategy 4 of the plan states that " improving the business areas of Selby will make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby ." One of the ways to do this is to rezone to business property now used for business but zoned residential. This allows business to change to another business or to expand if needed without having to spend time and effort on city permits for what can be small changes. ��-�� The predominant uses on these pazcels aze now business and rezoning to business will make zoning consistent with land use and with the non-residential uses aczoss Selby (restaurant and curling club) which aze zoned B-2. Staff recommends that the properties be zoned B-2. - SETBACKS AND SCREENING The zoning code now requires setbacks and screening as buffers when business and residential property meet at reaz property lines. Outdoor lighting is also regulated. A 10 foot setback is required when the wall of a business building with windows or doors faces a lot line of a residential use. A visual screen (fence, berm, or planted area) is required between a business parking lot and a residential lot line. Business parking lot lighting must be shielded to reduce glare and directed away from residential districts and residences so as to not exceed 3 foot candles at the propetty line. The above regulations apply through the city to all neighborhoods. The depth of Selby Avenue lots are not unusually shallow. Business lots with a depth of between 80 feet and 120 feet that are next to residential occurs along other streets, such as Arcade, Payne, Rice and West 7th. PUBLIC NOTIFTCATION FOR 40-ACRE STUDIES Mr Oben and Carlson who owri property adjoining and outside the study azea objected to not being notifaed of the public heazing. The Planning commission refened the issue of notification to surrounding areas to the committee. The long-standing practice for public notice for small area plans and 40-aces studies is to notify: l.everyone within the study area for the community meeting held by the task force; 2. Everyone who attended the community meeting and all property o�vners whose property is proposed to be rezoned for the Planning Commission's public hearing; and 3. Everyone in 2, above, and every one who testified at the Planning Commission's public hearing for the City Council's public hearing. This exceeds legal requirement for public notice which requires only nofice in the Pioneer Press for 3 weeks previous to the public heazing. Under present procedures property owners within the 40-acre study azea aze notified of proposed zoning changes so that they may comment on the proposal. Staff recommends that for future 40- acre zoning studies property owners outside the study area and within 350 feet of property proposed to be rezoned also be notified since the rezoning could have and effect on them. Staff 2 a'1-' �� also recommends that since notification for the commission's public hearing followed present procedures that the Selby 4Q-Acze Study go forwatd without another commission public hearing and that properiy owners meeting the new procedures be notified of the City CounciPs public hearing. � � . .�� '� � �;�. � l' `' `7 V � � [) _ � ��RTtN LU7HE � :=.T . , KiNG PQRK�� `� Y: � E ^ `�� , .�:3 3 �� C, � �� ? s � ,�C-' � '.� r -�-�• � � :3��-: '_.=.<E`;:�_«�J._ _ C ¢ {�i�l�l�l�l¢l�l�l CI � • • • • • � � ! !

PUSLTC HEARING: Selby Avenue Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Studv -(Roger Rynn) First Chair Gordon read the Statement of Purpose and Rules of Procedure fo� PubGc Hearina. - Mr. R}�an gave a short history and presentation of the plan and 40-acre study. He said that the City Council initiated this study in the summer of 1995. A task force was put together from the Summit University Planning Council, the Lex Ham Communiry Council, the Ramsey Hiil Association, the Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Cathedra Hill Business Association and residents and businesses in the area. The began meeting in late January, 1996, and finished their draft proposal in December of that year. A pu6lic meeting �vas held in the community in late January, 1997. The testimony was reviewed and considered. They adopted the plan in March of this year. He went on to explain that the plan is a land use plan, there's some proposed zoning chanves, and there's an action plan. The land use plan encourages the area to remain a mixed use in appro:cimately the proportions that it now has. There's I 1°lo institutional use (schoo!), the rest is approsimatety evenly divided beriveen business and residential use. The plan believes that by improving the businesses along Selby Avenue �vill make the greatest contribution toward revitalization of Selby Avenue. The short term goal is to develop the corner of Selby and Dale with business uses. The plan cites the area of concentration be behveen Dale $treet and Lexington Avenue. Rezonin�s to foster business development occur mostly with business buildings that are no�v used for business but are zoned residential or they are vacant land area next to business area that are proposed to be zoned business. The area east of Dale Street on Selby Avenue is largely in the Historic Hill District, where there are design guidelines. This plan proposes design guidelines for the remainder of Selby Avenue, adopted from the Hill District guidelines. The action plan states that a coalition be formed of the groups �vho ha��e a stake in 2 �1-�� development alon� the Avenue, those tvho �vere part of the task force plus the residents and businesses «�ho may nof have been affiliated �vith the task force. The coalition is charged �cith estimating ho�v much money tvill be needed for revitalization of the Avenue and developing a budget. It is also recommended that they secure money from a foundation to hire a staff person who would promote and market development along Selby Avenue. T�vo more sections of the action p]an recommend using the STAR proQram and the Metropolitan Liveable Communities program to also help revitalize the area. There are a number of other City programs which can also be used for busine;s and residentia] development. Testimonv 1. James Coben, 490 Dayton Avenue, addressed the Commission. He raised hvo concerns: 1) is a process concem; and 2) is a specific concem about one of the rezonings proposals. As an adjoining land owner, living on Dayton bet�veen McKuben and Arundel, he noted that he did not get any notice regarding this plan. He thinks this is a serious prdcess problem. �Vith respect to a specific rezoning proposed right behind his house, he does not like the idea that without his knowing about it, property that's currendy a parking lot or residential property could be converted to business; and he would not have a say in it. He thinks that is not a good idea or good planning. Peter Carlson, 482 Dayton Avenue, addressed the Commission. He's an architect and is somewhat concerned about the process and also about the proposals. He noted that the lots on Selby Avenue are smaller than on Grand (I I S feet deep and 40 feet wide), and most of them are also without alley, so you are right on top of the property behind you. He finds the pfan "woefully lacking". He strongly urged Commissioners to look at the screening and the setback requirements for this area and make some changes. He also has a concern about site work that never gets completed after construction, like the planting of trees and shrubbery, and the installation of screenin� devices. He questions whether occupants should be allowed to occupy a buildin� before they have finished the work they have said they �could do, and he urged the Commission to consider that question. He is also concerned about noise ordinances, and unbecoming. behavior like urinating on someone's front steps, ete. Another concern is the effect that next door parking lot ]ighting has on residential dwetlings. He stated that although Saint Paul has an ordinance, it is not interpreted very well. He ureed that a stronger effort be made to help business and residential areas in very close proximity, coexist. He repeatedly remarked that his plan's main interest is to foster business, and so these types of restrictions have been avoided. Finally, he asked the question, "What's the matter �vith the old plan?" He su=gested that the City generates p]ans ever few years, and doesn't follow through with the old �,� �`� 1 plans. He question the section of the p3an that intends to raze a$150,000 house in order to put in a parking lot. Perhaps this area is badly zoned; it should be RiVi-2. To recapitulate, he encouraged the Planning Commission to stren�then those parts of the plan that have to do with the separation of residen[ial and business districts, and to consider tvhy i['s not possible to make plans tliat are good for more than two y'ears? h'IOTION: Commissioner Geisser ntovect the pzrblic hearirtg be closed, that peebZic comments be accepted for the next foztr days, ancl that the Selby Aventte Sntall Area Plara ar7d 40-Acre S�:rdy be referred bnck to the A'eighborhoorl Plan�ring and La�rd Use Conan:ittee. The motion x•as seconcled by Comnrissioner Kramer. Commissioner Vau�ht commented that he, of course, was aware of this plan because he is on this Commission; however, he like Mr. Coben, lives on Dayton Avenue and has property exactly like his, that abuts property on Selby Avenue without an adjoining alley, and in addition, is a member of a condominium association that o�vns property on Selby Avenue, and he received no other notification but those �vhich he received because he is a member of the Planning Commission. Mr. Ryan explained that for 40-acre studies there are three hearings: 1) the community meeting/hearing, that �oas held in January; 2) the Plarming Commission hearin„ and 3) the City Council hearing. For the communiry meeting, notices are sent to everyone within the study area. Notices are not sent to anyone outside of the study. For the Planning Commission public hearing, notices are sent to owners of all of the property proposed to be rezoned plus all of the people who were at the community meeting. The same notification procedure is foliowed for the City Counci( hearing. He added that various neighborhood organizations flyer the community about the community meeting. Commissioner Vaught said it was h'ss understanding that a regulaz rezoning includes a notice requirement of propeRies within a certain number of feet from the property to be rezoned. He stated that it troubled him a lot that rezonings are treated differently in a 40- acre study, �vith regard to notification, because the City is using two different standards. Commissioner Nowlin asked if the distance requirement was not 35 0 feet in rezonings. Mr. Ryan replied that it was, but for petitions, not for 40-acre studies. Commissioner Nowlin noted that his concem is that if we're rezoning by a comp plan amendment, that 1) we mi�ht have legal validity questions; and 2) with the interest in doing a good job, notification should be extended to a certain number of feet from the boundary of the study area. He encouraged someone to draft language that inc]uded Mr. Carlson's critical comments, which he feels could be quite helpful. Commissioner Nordin asked if these requests to rezone would come before the Commission individually at another time or would approving this plan rezone those properties a�-�.�� automatical ly. Mr. Ryan replied that approving this plan �could rezone all of the proposed properties. Mr. Ryan also explained Fvhat is contained in ihe notices that are placed in the Legal Ledger and the Saint Pa:rl Pioneer Press. Commissioner Fiefd commented on Commissioner Nordin's observation that once this 40- acre study is approved, the land is rezoned but the existino uses are grand fathered in as non-conforming,butpermitted uses. Commissioner Kramer added that when this is actually considered, there will be hvo votes: I) one that adopts the small area plan; and 2) one that adopts the 40-acre study (rezonings); but typically, they are acted on at the same time. Commissioner Vaught stated that both he and Commissioner Treichel (sitting next to him) had not realized that in the context of a 40-acre study you could own a piece of property immediately adjacent to a piece of property that was to be rezoned and not receive any notice about, yet if that same rezoning were to be done in a different process, the City is required by law to notify people within a certain distance from that property. He thinks this is bad policy and the Planning Commission ought to change it. Commissioner Geisser expressed that she is stunned 6ecause bother she and Commissioner Treichel have chaired many small area plans and have never has this problem before, Commissioner Field commented that there has to be a way to improve the notification process for future pfans, and the Plannin� Commission should resolve the inconsistency in the notification processes that became apparent today. Mr. Ford commented that he was having similar thoughts to Commissioner Geisser's. He thinks that perhaps the reason why notification was a problem �vith this plan has to do �vith the particular nature of this study area that is very narrow and linear, and alI the properties to be rezoned are on the edae of the study area and affects adjacent property owners that may not, for one reason or another, have been that well notified or involved in the process. This may suggest that there's a loophole here which ordinarily doesn't make much difference. Chair Gordon noted that the Committee �vill take this under advisement. The motion on the,floor to close the pa{blic hearing, to accept pzrblic comments for the next four dcrys, and refer the Selby Avenzre Sn:all flrea Plan and 40 Acre Study back to the Neighborhood Planning and Lancl Use Canmittee carried unanimotaly on a voice vote. MOTION: Commissioner Treichel moved that the notification issue, rovith respect to properties sterrozrnding the arec� immediately adjacent to a small area plan and 40-acre stz�dy, be referred to the Neighborhoocl Planning and Land Use Committee for an item to be deali tivith, ifpossible, on their next ngenda, before this particular smatt area plan is �1.-�� completecl.

Zoning Committee #97-0�9 Uni��ers�l Outdoor Inc. - Appeal the Zoning Administrator's decision to deny a permit for an adverYising sign at 2100 Gi1beR Avenue; zoned I-1. Commissioner Field stated that after considerable testimony from staff and the appellant, it came to the Zonin� Committee's attention that there �vas a compromise in the norhs that mi�ht alteviate some of the problem. Based upon that, the Committee voted for a temporary suspension of the appellanPs case, pending determination as to whether or not that solution w�ould or would not be viable. #97-068 Kuan Chen - Special condition use permit to alloGV general auto repair at 1523 Como Avenue; zoned B-3. Commissioner Field said that in testimony for this case, it came out that there is a second special condition use permit applicabfe to the same piece of property involving the _ automobile business. The Committee identified that if it granted hvo special condi[ion use permits, each permitting, as an example, I S vehictes at the site, it is possible, while we intended a tota] of 15 vehicles, that through each SCUP be granting a total of 30 vehicles. The matter was laid over on a vote of 7-0. �97-073 �IRAfDavton's Bfuff N.H.S. - Rezone the property from B-2 (community business) to RT-1 (residential) to allow construction of five single family fiomes at 688 Third Street East.

S'tnc�e{y, p .2.�.�.��d�.e� Peggy Byme Executive Director � �-�r� SELBY AVENUE PLAN Adopted by Selby Avenue Task Force 3/18/97 INTRODUCTION In July 1995, the City Council initiated a Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Zoning dy for Selby Avenue between Hamline Avenue and Vixginia 5treet. The Council noted tha development progress had been made over the last 10 yeazs but that there remained vaca and underutilized property that could undernrine the Avenue's stability and vitality. Accor ' gly, they asked that a task force be formed to develop a framework of future land use, zo " changes, and public/private investment for the Avenue for adoption by the Plannin ommission and City Council. A task force was formed made up of representatives of the Lex' ton Hamline Community Council, Sununit University Planning Council, Ramsey Hill A ociation, Selby Area Communiry Development Corporation, Cathedral Hill Busin s Association, and area residents and business owners. (See the last section for task force mbers.) The task force met from January 1496 through November 1996 to draft this plan. hey considered the existing 1993 L,exington Hamline and 1989 Selby Avenue L,and t3se all area plans for the avenue, existing zoning and land use, and the 1988 Community Desig Center's marketing studies. They toured the avenue and met with staff of the Selby ea Communiry Development Corporation and Twin Cities Housing Development Corporati and property owners concerning possible B-2C zoning and rezoning of the business area tween Oxford and Chatsworth. ISSUES AND ASSETS Aere are the issues and assets of Selby venue that the task force has identified as those that the plan should deal with. Issues • Too many vacant bus' ss buildings and lots. • Poor appearance o�buildings and streetscape. • Missing buildi�s in residential and business blocks. • Buildings t}frning their backs on the street - long blank walls face the street. • Vacant�roperry at neighborhood gateway at Selby and Dale corners. • Peryfeption that crnne is worse than it actually-is in area. 1 ��1 _��l Assets Good and affordable housing stock. Opportunity for new and expanding businesses in vacant Proximity to downtown and state capitol jobs and Well designed, historic buildings all along Selby. • Selby businesses can serve the neighborhood and Universiry Avenues market areas. • Three distinct parts to Selby - Western to Hamline. � Neighborhood strength through ❑ Diverse gopulation. and on vacant lots. market area between the Grand to L.exington, and L.exington to and arganizations. Selby is easily accessible and has syfong name identification. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN Assumptions 1. Economac and physical c nditions of buildings on Selby Avenue have improved since the last plans were co leted for Selby (1989 for Summit Universiry and 1993 for L,exington-Hamiine). he commercial space at Westem, much of which had been vacant, is now occu ied. The business building at the northeast comer of Milton has been renovated fo offices and housing, and affordable housing has been established between Chatsw and Avon through rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. ew bus9nesses have been established, and more are being planned east of Dale. The e have been significant investments in improvements to the residentiai areas to the orth and south of Selby. Those who live neaz, shop, or work on Selby know that ' is changing for ihe better. 2. � While tl�'ere have been recent improvements along Selby Avenue, much work is yet to be don�E to fill vacant building space, vacant lots, and rehabilitate buildings. Avenue's uade area for neighborhood retail and services is lunited by :tition from the existing businesses on Grand and Universiry Avenues. `� °►�-�1�1 Strategies Overall Selby Avenue should remain a mixed use street of residential and business land use plan provides approximately 45 % residential use, 43 % business u institutional use.

Improving the business areas on Selby w' 1 make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby. The most important short term imp ovement for Selby is to develop businesses on the city owned land at the northeast d southwest corners of Dale. The opportunity for properties: (a) seven will be increased by rezoning the following ming business properties are rezoned for business. business properties are used for business, but are zoned reside ally. In order to change to another business use or expand, a pe t is needed from the planning commission. With the properties zoned b siness, businesses may change and expand if they meet the requirements of the business zone. These are the properties shown on Map 2 proposed to be rezoned to OS-1 or B-2located at Syndicate, the north side of the street between Griggs and Dunlap, at I.exington, on the south side of the street east of Grotto, on the north side of the street east of Mackubin, and at Virginia. 3 ° YI (b) one vacant residentially zoned parcel on the south side of the street east of Kent next to an existing business is rezoned to business for business expansion or parking. (c) two vacant residentially zoned parcels adjacent to vacant bus' ess properry ___ at the southwest corner of Milton and Selby are rezoned to -2. The adjacent business properties are rezoned to B-2 also so t the corner can be uniformly developed. There have been many private and public unprovements to th area east of Dale. In the future, public incentives and subsidies should be focused on e business areas between Dale and Lexington to encourage private development. 8. Working with the businesses, studies to deterznine phy cally and economically possible unprovements to the design of the business areas of Iby should be undertaken. 9. The task force considered rezoning residential pr erties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zo ' g allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be con erted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or off'ices.) The task for e does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. ere are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: a. There are many vacant zoned b iness properties now; these should be developed before further business zonin s considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from the� vacant properties. Adding business the street. Off-street parking provided by man� parking lots. � The task force could unbalance the mix of residential and business along yi4at is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 years to see if conditions wa ant B-2C zoning at that time. In the mea ime, property owners may petiuon the city to rezone their property by followin the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines shouid be conside ed for proposed rezoning to B-2C: a. �'Jpon conversion to business the off-street parking can be provided on the property. 0 °��-�� Q c.

Petitions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot d some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions ould not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on e guidelines above. Residentiai 10. Develop infill housing on the two vacant residential lo on the south side of the street east of Milton and east of VicYOria. 11. Continue to zehabilitate housing, especially betw en Chatsworth and Avon. 12. Five residential parcels are rezoned to reflec their current use and best future use. On the north side of Selby at Griggs, two sing family properties and one two-family property are rezoned to RT-1 (one and t o family residential) from RM-2 (apartments). At the narthwest and southwest corner of Mackubin, two condominium buildings are rezoned to RM-2 from B-2 (commu ' business). Industrial 13.

Most of Selby Avenue east of Dale is within the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. New construction an exterior rehabilitation is subject to the district's design guidelines and must be reviewed a d approved by city staff or the commission before construction can began. Selby Avenue w st of Dale was developed at a later date than the Hill District, generally between 1900 d 1940. The siting of buildings along this section, however, is similar to the Hill Disuict, ith business buIldings placed at the sidewalk and often at the corners of blocks ��-�� and residential buildings setback from the street. It is in the city's best interest to pt promote this distinct urban pattern of older cities. Good design is good for business positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood. The design guidelines should be promoted by ali who deal with development alo the street - the district councils, the community development corporation, businesses owne , and residents. They should be used by city staff when reviewing proposed devel ment in the site plan review process and when selling city owned land. Business areas i. New buildings (except those for auto orienied uses, such as s stations) shouid be constructed at the front lot line, next to the sidewalk. Buil gs should not be set back �� from the street with parking in front of ihe building; this ' largely a suburban development pattern and should be avoided on Selby. On the ground floor of buildings, windows should ce the street and be a dominant feature of the building. �'he upper floors of build' gs should be predominantly solid. If windows have been filled in, they should be ened as much possible. Windows on the street mean that there are more "eyes" on e street which can contribute to safety. Buiiding materials are important to the qu ity of business blocks and surrounding areas: The building materials ofnew b' dings shouid relate to the materials of the surrounding buildings. For rehabilitaf n of existing buildings it is best to stay with the materials of the original building ra er than attempting to change them. Parking lots should be separated om the sidewalk by a landscaped strip. This will partially screen the lot and ma' tain the continuity of buildings placed at the sidewalk. Residential New buildings should b sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adj ent buildings. 6.

I formally object to the City of St. Pau1 rezoning my properky to OS-1. My opposition is premised on the fact, al4 othsr non conforming business properties on Selby Avenue, proposed rezoning designations are based upon their respective current usage. The proposed rezoning of my property is not being handled consistently. It is my position that my property should not be rezoned to OS-1. Be advised that the current usage of the property is a retail/service business not office. I am perpiexed by the proposed zoning classification Consistent with my opposition, I ask the St. Paul City Council not rezone my property to OS-1.

Lex'vngton Parkway aka 1103 Selby Avenue Dear Councilman Blakey: This Ietter is formaS opposition to the proposed rezoning of the property above referenced to OS-1 from its current zoning of RM-2. The opposition is two-fold. First, it is my understanding that al] proposed rezoning is premised upon changing certain non-conforming business properties to their current usage. The subject property is currently being used as a retail business with cosmetic services. Having stated ttus, the recommendation of OS-1 cause me di�culty, as while under the Zoning Code, section 60.514, the cunent usage is permitted, the usage is subject to a special conditions pernut. Subjecting this property to a specia] conditions permit process, subject to approval by the planning commission, is inconsistent with the stated goa] of the rezoning and the handling of other properties similarly situated. �EC��u�a 3Ut 2 2 '�� IERRY B�AKEY July 21, 1997 Second, a non-confoz•ming use pernut has been granted the property and rezoning of the property from RM-2 to OS-1 wili change the property from residential to commercial. The rezoning to OS-1 wili materially affect the property taaces, which the additional expense must be borne by us, the business owner. In this regard, this rezoning offers no advantages to the property owner or the business. .. ,° Jerry Blakey -July 21, 1997- �t�-'l�l It is claar, based upon the expressed purpose of rezoning non•conPorming busin� properties, the proposed OS-1 zoning is selective, arbitrary and inconsistent. In this regard, it appears to me that the propased rezoning should have been B-3. In fiu�therance of my opposition, I believe that the St. Paul City Councit should not rezone the property to OS-1 but instead rezone to B-3. Your attention attd due consideration to this important matter would be appreciated. Sincerely, � -. . David J � . J ""`�^ L,A- c.a Georgina Y.

(EXPLAIN) 9�- �� SELBY AVENUE PLAN Adopted by Selby Avenue Task Force 3/18/97 Amended by the City Council7/23/97 In July 1995, the City Council iniriated a Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Zoning Study for Selby Avenue between Aamline Avenue and Virginia Street. The Council noted that development progress had been made over the last 10 years but that there remained vacant and underutilized properry that could undermine the Avenue's stability and vitality. Accordingly, they asked that a task force be formed to develop a framework of future land use, zoning changes, and public/private investment for the Avenue for adoption by the Planning Commission and City Council. A task force was formed made up of representatives of the I.exington Hamline Community Council, Smnmit Universiry Planning Council, Ramsey Hill Association, Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Cathedral Hill Business Association, and area residents and business owners. (See the last section for task force members.) The task force met from January 1996 through November 1996 to draft this plan. They considered the existing 1993 I,exington Hamline and 1989 Selby Avenue Land Use small area plans for the avenue, existing zoning and land use, and the 1988 Communiry Design Center's marketing studies. They toured the avenue and met with staff of the Selby Area Community Development Corpora6on and Twin Cities Housing Development Corporation and property owners concerning possible B-2C zoning and rezoning of the business area between Oxford and Chatsworth. ISSUES AND ASSETS Here are the issues and assets of Selby Avenue that the task force has identified as those that the plan should deal with. Issues • Too many vacant business buildings and lots. • Poor appearance of buildings and streetscape. • Missing buildings in residential and business blocks. • Buildings turning their backs on the street - long blank walls face the street. • Vacant property at neighborhood gateway at Selby and Dale corners. • Perception that crime is worse than it actually is in area. ��- �� Assets • Good and affordable housing stock. • Opportuniry for new and e�anding businesses in vacant buildings and on vacant lots. • Proximity to downtown and state capitol jobs and cultural insritutions. • Well designed, historic buildings all along Selby. • Selby businesses can serve the neighborhood consumer market area between the Grand and University Avenues market azeas. • Three distinct parts to Selby - Western to Dale, Dale to Lexington, and I.exington to Hamline. • Neighborhood strength through celebrations and organizations. • Diverse population. • Selby is easily accessible and has strong name identification. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN Assumptions 1. Economic and physical conditions of buIldings on Selby Avenue have improved since the last plans were completed for Selby (1989 for Summit University and 1993 for Lexington-Hauiline). The commercial space at Western, much of which had been vacant, is now occupied. The business building at the northeast corner of Milton has been renovated for offices and housing, and affordable housing has been established between Chatsworth and Avon through rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. New businesses have been established, and more are being planned east of Dale. There have been significant investments in improvements to the residenual areas to the north and south of Selby. Those who live near, shop, or work on Selby l�ow that it is changing for the better. 2. While there have been recent improvements along Selby Avenue, much work is yet to be done to fill vacant building space, vacant lots, and rehabilitate buildings. Selby Avenue's trade area for neighborhood retail and services is lunited by competition from the existing businesses on Grand and University Avenues. 2 9�-�8i Suategies ve all Selby Avenue should remain a mi.zed use street of residential and business uses. The land use plan provides approximately 45 % residential use, 43 % business use and 12 % institutional use. (See map 1.) 2. Land planned for residential or commercial use should be zoned now to the agpropriate zoning district so that development can take place without having to go through rezoning petition processes. (See Map 2.) 3. Upon ciry adoption of this small area plan, its land use plan and zoning will be in accord with one another. In the future, requests for rezonings should be granted or denied based on a deternunation of whether or not the proposed residential or business development will iruprove the mixed use character of Selby Avenue. 4. The streetscape (the road, boulevard, sidewalk, signs, and lig&ting) of Selby Avenue should be made more attractive. Business 4. Improving the business areas on Selby will make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby. 5. The most important short term improvement for Selby is to develop businesses on the ciry owned land at the northeast and southwest corners of Dale. 6. The oppornxnity for business development will be increased by rezoning the following properties: (a) seven nonconforming business propefties are rezoned for business. Nonconfomvng business properties are used for business, but ue zoned residentially. In order to change to another business use or expand, a pernut is needed from the pluming comnnission. With the properties zoned business, businesses may change and expand if they meet the requirements of the business zone. These are the properties shown on Map 2 proposed to be rezoned to OS-1 or B-2located at Syndicate, the north side of the street between Griggs and Dunlap, at L,exington, on the south side of the street east of Grotto, on the north side of the sueet east of Mackubin, and at Virginia. 97- � �� (b) one vacant residentially zoned parcel on the south side of the sueet east of Kent next to an existing business is rezoned to business for business expansion or pazking. (c) two vacant residentially zoned parcels adjacent to vacant business properry at the souffiwest comer of Milton and Selby are rezoned to B-2. The adjacent business properties are rezoned to B-2 also so that the corner can be uniformly developed. 7. There have been many private and public improvements to the area east of Dale. In the future, public incentives and subsidies should be focused on the business areas between Dale and L,exington to encourage private development. 8. Working with the businesses, studies to determine physically and economically possible unprovements to the design of the business areas of Selby should be undertaken. The task force considered rezoning residential properties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zoning allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be converted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or offices.) The task force does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. Here are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: a. There are many vacant zoned business properties now; these should be developed before further business zoning is considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from these vacant properties. b. Adding business properry could unbalance the mix of residential and business along the street. c. Off-street parking that is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be provided by many properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to parking lots. The task force recommends that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 years to see if conditions warrant B-2C zoning at that tnne. In the meantime, property owners may petifion the city to rezone their property by following the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines should be considered for proposed rezoning to B-2C: a. Upon conversion to business the off-street parking can be provided on the property. 0 b. The properry has alley access. c. The business use of the property will not adversely affect nearby residential property. d. The petitioner shows that existing business space suitable for the use is unavailable elsewhere on Selby. Petirions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot and some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions should not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on the guidelines above. Residential 10. Develop infill housing on the two vacant residential lots on the south side of the street east of Milton and east of Victoria. 11. Continue to rehabilitate housing, especially between Chatsworth and Avon. 12. Five residential parcels are rezoned to reflect their current use and best future use. On the north side of 3elby at Griggs, two single family properties and one two-family property are rezoned to RT-1 (one and two family residential) from RM-2 (apartments). At the northwest and southwest corners of Mackubin, two condominium buildings are rezoned to RM-2 from B-2 (community business). I dustria 13. The plan no longer recommends industry on suc sites between Saint Albans and Milton as the 1989 plan did. Some limited light industry, such as printing, assembly of small precision goods, and wholesaling is allowed in B-3 zoning districts. This should be the means of allowing industrial development on Selby. If additional types of limited industry are found to be appropriate for Selby, then the B-3 zoning district regulations can be amended to allow them, either as pernutted or special condition uses. DESIGN GUIDELINES Most of Selby Avenue east of Dale is within the Historic Hill FIeritage Preservation District. New construction and exterior rehabIlitation is subject to the district's design guidelines and must be reviewed and approved by city staff or the commission before construction can begin. Selby Avenue west of Dale was developed at a later date than the Hill District, generally between 19�0 and 1940. The siting of buildings along this section, however, is similar to the Hill District, with business buildings placed at the sidewalk and often at the comers of blocks 9�- �� and residential buildings setback from the street. It is in the ciry's best interest to preserve and promote this distinct urban pattem of older cities. Good design is good for business and has a positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood. The design guidelines should be promoted by all who deal with development along the street - the district councils, the community development corporation, businesses owners, and residents. They should be used by city staff when reviewing proposed development in the site plan review process and when selling city owned land. Business areas New buildings (except those for auto oriented uses, such as gas stations) should be constructed at Yhe front lot line, next to the sidewalk. Buildings should not be set back from the street with parking in front of the building; this is largely a suburban development pattern and should be avoided on Selby. 2. On the ground floor of buildings, windows should face the street and be a dominaut feature of the building. The upper floors of buildings should be predominanfly solid. If windows have been filled in, ffiey should be opened as much possible. Windows on the street mean that there are more "eyes" on the street which can contribute to safety. 3. Building materials are important to the quality of business blocks and surrounding areas. The building materials of new buildings should relate to the materials of the surrounding buildings. For rehabilitation of existing buildings it is best to stay with the materials of the original building rather than attempting to change them. 4. Parking lots should be separated from the sidewalk by a landscaped strip. This will partially screen the lot and maintain the continuiry of buildings placed at the sidewalk. Residential 5. IVew buildings should be sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adjacent buildings. 6. Building materials are important to the quality of residential blocks and surrounding areas. The building materials of new buildings should relate to the materials of ttie surrounding buildings. For rehabilitafion of existing buildings it is best to stay with the- materials of the original building xather than attempting to change them.

A Selby Avenue action committee should be formed of stake holders in Selby's revitalization that consists of representatives of the L,exington-Hamline and the S�nuuit- University Community Councils, the Ramsey-Hill Association, Cathedral Hill Business Association, Selby Area Communiry Development Corporation, Concerned Citizen Focus Group, and individual neighborhood businesses and residents. They will refine the action plan and oversee its accomplishment_ 2. The land use portion of this plan iden6fies the area between Dale and Lexington as the area in which to focus revitalization efforts. Map 3 shows both publicly and privately owned vacant properry in the focus area on which the action plan will concentrate revitalization efforts. Table A shows the amount and zoning of vacant property. 0 97-7�'I 3. The focus area should be marketed as providing ffie best oppor�unities to do successful revitalization such as that which has already occurred at the east and west ends of the street. Market the focus area to retail and service businesses, financial institutions, government, and foundations for neighborhood and citywide businesses. 4. The committee should determine a budget needed to amact business development to Selby. The budget could designate funds for: • low anterest loans or grants for rehabilitation of e�sting buildings. • low interest loans or grants for new construction. • low interest loans or grants to move, expand or start-up businesses. • pyrking lot improvements. • design services to assist facade improvements. 5. The committee should seek money from a foundation to hire a staff person l�owledgeable about marketing and development to promote the street. 6. The committee should seek funds for the budget from city prograzns, such as STAR, the metropolitan counc3l's livable cities program, and foundations. 7. Existing grograms in place, such as the commercial loan, vacant building, enterprise leverage, and strategic inveshnent fund can be used on an individual basis. 8. The business and residential uses that will be sought are those pernutted by the underlying zoning of the property. 9. For businesses that serve the residendal neighborhood, the use of public incenuves should emphasis attracting complitnentary businesses. 10. More efforts should also be made to foster minoriry business start-ups, retention, and expansions from within the community. ll. The design guidelines of this plan will be used for siting new building and rehabilitaYion of existing buildings. 12. Public improvements to the Selby Avenue streetscape should be made that enhance its appearance and pedestrian safery and are historically comparible. 13. A program should be developed to keep Selby Avenue clean and attractive. 'I`his could be modeled on the Cathedral Hill Business Associations "adopt a block program" where businesses volunteered to keep a designated block clean during the summer. 14.

Pau{ MN 55102 Dear President Thune and Members of the City Council: 1��I Telephone: 672-266-6655 Facsimile: 6/Z-228-3261 In 7uly 1995, the City council initiated the Selby Avenue Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Zoning Study for the land on both sides of Selby Avenue between Hamline Avenue and Virginia Street. A draft plan and zoning study was developed during 1996 by a neighborhood-based task force and presented to the community at a meeting in January 1997. The task force approved it in Mazch 1997, and the Planning Commission, after a public hearing, recommended adoption of it by the City Council in May 1997. The Commission's resolutions recommending approval of the plan and zoning study are attached. The plan and study contains a land use plan, proposed rezonings to cany-out the plan, design guidelines, and an action plan foz public/private investment along Selby. Some major plan recommendations are that the avenue should remain a mixed use azea of residential and business uses, improving the business azeas (especially those between Dale and Lexington) will make the greatest contribution to revitalization, and efforts should be made to provide adequate parking for businesses and residents. I am pleased to transmit this plan to you for your review and action. Sincerely, ��`•, '"`" �QI'!'

The committee adopted a motion to recommendation to the Ciry Council that the 4 properties on the north side of Selby between Mackubin and Arundel be rezoned to B-2 and no further action be take on buffers and parking lot lighting. The committee also recommended that the Planning Commission act on the plan and that property owners outside the study area and within 350 feet of property proposed to be rezoned be notified of the City Council's public hearing and that in future 40-acre studies property owner outside the study area and within 350 feet also be noufied. RECOMMENDED CHANGES The Neighborhood Committee also recommended that the following changes to the Selby Avenue Plan be recommended to the City Council. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN (Page 4) 9. The task force considered rezoning residential properties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zoning allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be converted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or offices.) The task force does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. Here are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: �� _�� a. There are many vacant zoned business properties now; these should be developed before further business zoning is considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from these vacant properties. b. Adding bus'vness property could unbalance the mix of residential and -- business along the street. c. Off-street parking that is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be provided by many properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to parking lots. The task force recommends that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 yeazs to see if conditions warrant S-2C zoning at that time. In the meantime, property owners may petition the ciry to rezone theix property by following the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines should be considered for proposed rezoninQ to B-2C: ea. Petitions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot and some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions should not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on the guidelines below xbeve. a.b Upon conversion Yo business the off-street parking can be provided on the properry. �c. The property has alley access. ed. The business use of the property will not adversely affect nearby residential property. �e. The petitioner shows that aDnropriate e�istnxg business space suitable for the use is not reasonably available tma�xi3xb�e elsewhere on Selby. Moving old e to the front of this section as new a makes a more logical sequence. The changes to new e make this guideline more flexible. II ACTION PLAN (Page 9) 2. The land use portion of this plan identifies the area between Dale and Lexington as the area in which to focus revitalization efforts. Map 3 shows both publicly and privately owned vacant property in the focus area on which the action plan will concentrate revitalization efforts. Table A shows the amount and zoning of vacant properry. ,SSee item 15.) LrJ, a�-��I This change will help remind people that the other areas of Selby will not be neglected during the action phase. Resolutions aze attached. \�PEDt I�SYS\SHARED\WRWR)_.BKI ✓ CITY OF SAINf PAUL Norm Colem¢n, Mayar MEMORANDUM Date: May 19,1997 To: Neighborhood Committee From: Roger Ryan � Re: Selby Avenue Plan Testimony DEPARTMEIJT OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENI' Pamela Wheelocl� Directar 25 West Fowth Street Saint P¢u!, MN55102 � 1 � !Q ` Telephone: 612-166-6655 Facsimile: 671-218-3261 At the May 9 public hearing, James Coben and Peter Carlson objected to the proposed rezoning to B-2 of properry on the north side of Seiby between Mackubin and Arundel. Carlson also asked that because there aze lots on Selby that are only 115 feet deep that the screening and setback requirements between business and residential be changed to be more intense. He was also concemed about business parking lot lighting on residential property. The property proposed to be rezoned is now used and zoned as follows (map attached): 1. Pazcel 1: off-street parking for mixed-use building to the west (P-1). 2. Pazcel 2: business building used for storage (RM-2). 2. Parcel3: two family residential (Rm-2). 4. Pazcel 4: business building with chiropractor office (RM-2). Strategy 4 of the plan states that " improving the business areas of Selby will make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby ." One of the ways to do this is to rezone to business property now used for business but zoned residential. This allows business to change to another business or to expand if needed without having to spend time and effort on city permits for what can be small changes. ��-�� The predominant uses on these pazcels aze now business and rezoning to business will make zoning consistent with land use and with the non-residential uses aczoss Selby (restaurant and curling club) which aze zoned B-2. Staff recommends that the properties be zoned B-2. - SETBACKS AND SCREENING The zoning code now requires setbacks and screening as buffers when business and residential property meet at reaz property lines. Outdoor lighting is also regulated. A 10 foot setback is required when the wall of a business building with windows or doors faces a lot line of a residential use. A visual screen (fence, berm, or planted area) is required between a business parking lot and a residential lot line. Business parking lot lighting must be shielded to reduce glare and directed away from residential districts and residences so as to not exceed 3 foot candles at the propetty line. The above regulations apply through the city to all neighborhoods. The depth of Selby Avenue lots are not unusually shallow. Business lots with a depth of between 80 feet and 120 feet that are next to residential occurs along other streets, such as Arcade, Payne, Rice and West 7th. PUBLIC NOTIFTCATION FOR 40-ACRE STUDIES Mr Oben and Carlson who owri property adjoining and outside the study azea objected to not being notifaed of the public heazing. The Planning commission refened the issue of notification to surrounding areas to the committee. The long-standing practice for public notice for small area plans and 40-aces studies is to notify: l.everyone within the study area for the community meeting held by the task force; 2. Everyone who attended the community meeting and all property o�vners whose property is proposed to be rezoned for the Planning Commission's public hearing; and 3. Everyone in 2, above, and every one who testified at the Planning Commission's public hearing for the City Council's public hearing. This exceeds legal requirement for public notice which requires only nofice in the Pioneer Press for 3 weeks previous to the public heazing. Under present procedures property owners within the 40-acre study azea aze notified of proposed zoning changes so that they may comment on the proposal. Staff recommends that for future 40- acre zoning studies property owners outside the study area and within 350 feet of property proposed to be rezoned also be notified since the rezoning could have and effect on them. Staff 2 a'1-' �� also recommends that since notification for the commission's public hearing followed present procedures that the Selby 4Q-Acze Study go forwatd without another commission public hearing and that properiy owners meeting the new procedures be notified of the City CounciPs public hearing. � � . .�� '� � �;�. � l' `' `7 V � � [) _ � ��RTtN LU7HE � :=.T . , KiNG PQRK�� `� Y: � E ^ `�� , .�:3 3 �� C, � �� ? s � ,�C-' � '.� r -�-�• � � :3��-: '_.=.<E`;:�_«�J._ _ C ¢ {�i�l�l�l�l¢l�l�l CI � • • • • • � � ! !

PUSLTC HEARING: Selby Avenue Small Area Plan and 40-Acre Studv -(Roger Rynn) First Chair Gordon read the Statement of Purpose and Rules of Procedure fo� PubGc Hearina. - Mr. R}�an gave a short history and presentation of the plan and 40-acre study. He said that the City Council initiated this study in the summer of 1995. A task force was put together from the Summit University Planning Council, the Lex Ham Communiry Council, the Ramsey Hiil Association, the Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Cathedra Hill Business Association and residents and businesses in the area. The began meeting in late January, 1996, and finished their draft proposal in December of that year. A pu6lic meeting �vas held in the community in late January, 1997. The testimony was reviewed and considered. They adopted the plan in March of this year. He went on to explain that the plan is a land use plan, there's some proposed zoning chanves, and there's an action plan. The land use plan encourages the area to remain a mixed use in appro:cimately the proportions that it now has. There's I 1°lo institutional use (schoo!), the rest is approsimatety evenly divided beriveen business and residential use. The plan believes that by improving the businesses along Selby Avenue �vill make the greatest contribution toward revitalization of Selby Avenue. The short term goal is to develop the corner of Selby and Dale with business uses. The plan cites the area of concentration be behveen Dale $treet and Lexington Avenue. Rezonin�s to foster business development occur mostly with business buildings that are no�v used for business but are zoned residential or they are vacant land area next to business area that are proposed to be zoned business. The area east of Dale Street on Selby Avenue is largely in the Historic Hill District, where there are design guidelines. This plan proposes design guidelines for the remainder of Selby Avenue, adopted from the Hill District guidelines. The action plan states that a coalition be formed of the groups �vho ha��e a stake in 2 �1-�� development alon� the Avenue, those tvho �vere part of the task force plus the residents and businesses «�ho may nof have been affiliated �vith the task force. The coalition is charged �cith estimating ho�v much money tvill be needed for revitalization of the Avenue and developing a budget. It is also recommended that they secure money from a foundation to hire a staff person who would promote and market development along Selby Avenue. T�vo more sections of the action p]an recommend using the STAR proQram and the Metropolitan Liveable Communities program to also help revitalize the area. There are a number of other City programs which can also be used for busine;s and residentia] development. Testimonv 1. James Coben, 490 Dayton Avenue, addressed the Commission. He raised hvo concerns: 1) is a process concem; and 2) is a specific concem about one of the rezonings proposals. As an adjoining land owner, living on Dayton bet�veen McKuben and Arundel, he noted that he did not get any notice regarding this plan. He thinks this is a serious prdcess problem. �Vith respect to a specific rezoning proposed right behind his house, he does not like the idea that without his knowing about it, property that's currendy a parking lot or residential property could be converted to business; and he would not have a say in it. He thinks that is not a good idea or good planning. Peter Carlson, 482 Dayton Avenue, addressed the Commission. He's an architect and is somewhat concerned about the process and also about the proposals. He noted that the lots on Selby Avenue are smaller than on Grand (I I S feet deep and 40 feet wide), and most of them are also without alley, so you are right on top of the property behind you. He finds the pfan "woefully lacking". He strongly urged Commissioners to look at the screening and the setback requirements for this area and make some changes. He also has a concern about site work that never gets completed after construction, like the planting of trees and shrubbery, and the installation of screenin� devices. He questions whether occupants should be allowed to occupy a buildin� before they have finished the work they have said they �could do, and he urged the Commission to consider that question. He is also concerned about noise ordinances, and unbecoming. behavior like urinating on someone's front steps, ete. Another concern is the effect that next door parking lot ]ighting has on residential dwetlings. He stated that although Saint Paul has an ordinance, it is not interpreted very well. He ureed that a stronger effort be made to help business and residential areas in very close proximity, coexist. He repeatedly remarked that his plan's main interest is to foster business, and so these types of restrictions have been avoided. Finally, he asked the question, "What's the matter �vith the old plan?" He su=gested that the City generates p]ans ever few years, and doesn't follow through with the old �,� �`� 1 plans. He question the section of the p3an that intends to raze a$150,000 house in order to put in a parking lot. Perhaps this area is badly zoned; it should be RiVi-2. To recapitulate, he encouraged the Planning Commission to stren�then those parts of the plan that have to do with the separation of residen[ial and business districts, and to consider tvhy i['s not possible to make plans tliat are good for more than two y'ears? h'IOTION: Commissioner Geisser ntovect the pzrblic hearirtg be closed, that peebZic comments be accepted for the next foztr days, ancl that the Selby Aventte Sntall Area Plara ar7d 40-Acre S�:rdy be referred bnck to the A'eighborhoorl Plan�ring and La�rd Use Conan:ittee. The motion x•as seconcled by Comnrissioner Kramer. Commissioner Vau�ht commented that he, of course, was aware of this plan because he is on this Commission; however, he like Mr. Coben, lives on Dayton Avenue and has property exactly like his, that abuts property on Selby Avenue without an adjoining alley, and in addition, is a member of a condominium association that o�vns property on Selby Avenue, and he received no other notification but those �vhich he received because he is a member of the Planning Commission. Mr. Ryan explained that for 40-acre studies there are three hearings: 1) the community meeting/hearing, that �oas held in January; 2) the Plarming Commission hearin„ and 3) the City Council hearing. For the communiry meeting, notices are sent to everyone within the study area. Notices are not sent to anyone outside of the study. For the Planning Commission public hearing, notices are sent to owners of all of the property proposed to be rezoned plus all of the people who were at the community meeting. The same notification procedure is foliowed for the City Counci( hearing. He added that various neighborhood organizations flyer the community about the community meeting. Commissioner Vaught said it was h'ss understanding that a regulaz rezoning includes a notice requirement of propeRies within a certain number of feet from the property to be rezoned. He stated that it troubled him a lot that rezonings are treated differently in a 40- acre study, �vith regard to notification, because the City is using two different standards. Commissioner Nowlin asked if the distance requirement was not 35 0 feet in rezonings. Mr. Ryan replied that it was, but for petitions, not for 40-acre studies. Commissioner Nowlin noted that his concem is that if we're rezoning by a comp plan amendment, that 1) we mi�ht have legal validity questions; and 2) with the interest in doing a good job, notification should be extended to a certain number of feet from the boundary of the study area. He encouraged someone to draft language that inc]uded Mr. Carlson's critical comments, which he feels could be quite helpful. Commissioner Nordin asked if these requests to rezone would come before the Commission individually at another time or would approving this plan rezone those properties a�-�.�� automatical ly. Mr. Ryan replied that approving this plan �could rezone all of the proposed properties. Mr. Ryan also explained Fvhat is contained in ihe notices that are placed in the Legal Ledger and the Saint Pa:rl Pioneer Press. Commissioner Fiefd commented on Commissioner Nordin's observation that once this 40- acre study is approved, the land is rezoned but the existino uses are grand fathered in as non-conforming,butpermitted uses. Commissioner Kramer added that when this is actually considered, there will be hvo votes: I) one that adopts the small area plan; and 2) one that adopts the 40-acre study (rezonings); but typically, they are acted on at the same time. Commissioner Vaught stated that both he and Commissioner Treichel (sitting next to him) had not realized that in the context of a 40-acre study you could own a piece of property immediately adjacent to a piece of property that was to be rezoned and not receive any notice about, yet if that same rezoning were to be done in a different process, the City is required by law to notify people within a certain distance from that property. He thinks this is bad policy and the Planning Commission ought to change it. Commissioner Geisser expressed that she is stunned 6ecause bother she and Commissioner Treichel have chaired many small area plans and have never has this problem before, Commissioner Field commented that there has to be a way to improve the notification process for future pfans, and the Plannin� Commission should resolve the inconsistency in the notification processes that became apparent today. Mr. Ford commented that he was having similar thoughts to Commissioner Geisser's. He thinks that perhaps the reason why notification was a problem �vith this plan has to do �vith the particular nature of this study area that is very narrow and linear, and alI the properties to be rezoned are on the edae of the study area and affects adjacent property owners that may not, for one reason or another, have been that well notified or involved in the process. This may suggest that there's a loophole here which ordinarily doesn't make much difference. Chair Gordon noted that the Committee �vill take this under advisement. The motion on the,floor to close the pa{blic hearing, to accept pzrblic comments for the next four dcrys, and refer the Selby Avenzre Sn:all flrea Plan and 40 Acre Study back to the Neighborhood Planning and Lancl Use Canmittee carried unanimotaly on a voice vote. MOTION: Commissioner Treichel moved that the notification issue, rovith respect to properties sterrozrnding the arec� immediately adjacent to a small area plan and 40-acre stz�dy, be referred to the Neighborhoocl Planning and Land Use Committee for an item to be deali tivith, ifpossible, on their next ngenda, before this particular smatt area plan is �1.-�� completecl. Conunissioner Yaught seconcled the motior: which carried unanintously on a VO7C2 VOIZ. V. Zoning Committee #97-0�9 Uni��ers�l Outdoor Inc. - Appeal the Zoning Administrator's decision to deny a permit for an adverYising sign at 2100 Gi1beR Avenue; zoned I-1. Commissioner Field stated that after considerable testimony from staff and the appellant, it came to the Zonin� Committee's attention that there �vas a compromise in the norhs that mi�ht alteviate some of the problem. Based upon that, the Committee voted for a temporary suspension of the appellanPs case, pending determination as to whether or not that solution w�ould or would not be viable. #97-068 Kuan Chen - Special condition use permit to alloGV general auto repair at 1523 Como Avenue; zoned B-3. Commissioner Field said that in testimony for this case, it came out that there is a second special condition use permit applicabfe to the same piece of property involving the _ automobile business. The Committee identified that if it granted hvo special condi[ion use permits, each permitting, as an example, I S vehictes at the site, it is possible, while we intended a tota] of 15 vehicles, that through each SCUP be granting a total of 30 vehicles. The matter was laid over on a vote of 7-0. �97-073 �IRAfDavton's Bfuff N.H.S. - Rezone the property from B-2 (community business) to RT-1 (residential) to allow construction of five single family fiomes at 688 Third Street East. MOTION: Co�r:missioner Field moved approvnl of the reqxrest to rezone property at 688 Third Street East from B-2 to RT-1 to allow constrarction offzve single family homes which carriecl zrnanimo:rsly on a voice vote. #97-477 Saint Paul Parks and Recreation - Special Condition use permit to allow construction of a boat we11 for landing and launching boats at the t3pper Marina. MOTION: Commissioner Field moved approval of the reqzrested special condition use pern�it, with one condition, to allow construction of a boat well for landing and launching bonts at the Upper Marina which carried unanimocrsly on a voice vote.

The Council noted tha development progress had been made over the last 10 yeazs but that there remained vaca and underutilized property that could undernrine the Avenue's stability and vitality. Accor ' gly, they asked that a task force be formed to develop a framework of future land use, zo " changes, and public/private investment for the Avenue for adoption by the Plannin ommission and City Council. A task force was formed made up of representatives of the Lex' ton Hamline Community Council, Sununit University Planning Council, Ramsey Hill A ociation, Selby Area Communiry Development Corporation, Cathedral Hill Busin s Association, and area residents and business owners. (See the last section for task force mbers.) The task force met from January 1496 through November 1996 to draft this plan. hey considered the existing 1993 L,exington Hamline and 1989 Selby Avenue L,and t3se all area plans for the avenue, existing zoning and land use, and the 1988 Community Desig Center's marketing studies. They toured the avenue and met with staff of the Selby ea Communiry Development Corporation and Twin Cities Housing Development Corporati and property owners concerning possible B-2C zoning and rezoning of the business area tween Oxford and Chatsworth. ISSUES AND ASSETS Aere are the issues and assets of Selby venue that the task force has identified as those that the plan should deal with. Issues • Too many vacant bus' ss buildings and lots. • Poor appearance o�buildings and streetscape. • Missing buildi�s in residential and business blocks. • Buildings t}frning their backs on the street - long blank walls face the street. • Vacant�roperry at neighborhood gateway at Selby and Dale corners. • Peryfeption that crnne is worse than it actually-is in area. 1 ��1 _��l Assets Good and affordable housing stock. Opportunity for new and expanding businesses in vacant Proximity to downtown and state capitol jobs and Well designed, historic buildings all along Selby. • Selby businesses can serve the neighborhood and Universiry Avenues market areas. • Three distinct parts to Selby - Western to Hamline. � Neighborhood strength through ❑ Diverse gopulation. and on vacant lots. market area between the Grand to L.exington, and L.exington to and arganizations. Selby is easily accessible and has syfong name identification. LAND USE AND ZONING PLAN Assumptions 1. Economac and physical c nditions of buildings on Selby Avenue have improved since the last plans were co leted for Selby (1989 for Summit Universiry and 1993 for L,exington-Hamiine). he commercial space at Westem, much of which had been vacant, is now occu ied. The business building at the northeast comer of Milton has been renovated fo offices and housing, and affordable housing has been established between Chatsw and Avon through rehabilitation of existing housing and new construction. ew bus9nesses have been established, and more are being planned east of Dale. The e have been significant investments in improvements to the residentiai areas to the orth and south of Selby. Those who live neaz, shop, or work on Selby know that ' is changing for ihe better. 2. � While tl�'ere have been recent improvements along Selby Avenue, much work is yet to be don�E to fill vacant building space, vacant lots, and rehabilitate buildings. Avenue's uade area for neighborhood retail and services is lunited by :tition from the existing businesses on Grand and Universiry Avenues. `� °►�-�1�1 Strategies Overall Selby Avenue should remain a mixed use street of residential and business land use plan provides approximately 45 % residential use, 43 % business u institutional use. (See map 1.) � �. The and 12 % 2. Land planned for residential or commercial use should be zoned no to the appropriate zoning district so that development can take place without having go through rezoning petition processes. (See Map 2.) Upon city adoption of this small area plan, its land use accard with one another. In the future, requests for res denied based on a determination of whether or not the development will improve the mixed use character of r � The streetscape (the road, boulevard, sidewalk, should be made more attractive. ,�nd zoning wiil be in ;s should be granted or �sed residential or business Avenue. and lighting) of Selby Avenue Business 4. 5. Improving the business areas on Selby w' 1 make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of Selby. The most important short term imp ovement for Selby is to develop businesses on the city owned land at the northeast d southwest corners of Dale. The opportunity for properties: (a) seven will be increased by rezoning the following ming business properties are rezoned for business. business properties are used for business, but are zoned reside ally. In order to change to another business use or expand, a pe t is needed from the planning commission. With the properties zoned b siness, businesses may change and expand if they meet the requirements of the business zone. These are the properties shown on Map 2 proposed to be rezoned to OS-1 or B-2located at Syndicate, the north side of the street between Griggs and Dunlap, at I.exington, on the south side of the street east of Grotto, on the north side of the street east of Mackubin, and at Virginia. 3 ° YI (b) one vacant residentially zoned parcel on the south side of the street east of Kent next to an existing business is rezoned to business for business expansion or parking. (c) two vacant residentially zoned parcels adjacent to vacant bus' ess properry ___ at the southwest corner of Milton and Selby are rezoned to -2. The adjacent business properties are rezoned to B-2 also so t the corner can be uniformly developed. There have been many private and public unprovements to th area east of Dale. In the future, public incentives and subsidies should be focused on e business areas between Dale and Lexington to encourage private development. 8. Working with the businesses, studies to deterznine phy cally and economically possible unprovements to the design of the business areas of Iby should be undertaken. 9. The task force considered rezoning residential pr erties between Milton and Avon and between Dale and Arundel to B-2C. (B-2C zo ' g allows residential uses and, in addition, allows the residential uses to be con erted to business uses, such as retail shops, hair salons, or off'ices.) The task for e does not recommend at this time that residential properties be rezoned to B-2C. ere are the reasons not to rezone to B-2C: a. There are many vacant zoned b iness properties now; these should be developed before further business zonin s considered. Adding B-2C could divert development away from the� vacant properties. Adding business the street. Off-street parking provided by man� parking lots. � The task force could unbalance the mix of residential and business along yi4at is needed when houses are converted to business cannot be properties because of small lot size and lack of alley access to that the issue of B-2C be reconsidered in 5 years to see if conditions wa ant B-2C zoning at that time. In the mea ime, property owners may petiuon the city to rezone their property by followin the city's rezoning procedures. The following guidelines shouid be conside ed for proposed rezoning to B-2C: a. �'Jpon conversion to business the off-street parking can be provided on the property. 0 °��-�� Q c. The property has alley access. The business use of the properry will not adversely affect nearby properry. The petitioner shows that existing business space suitable for the elsewhere on Selby. unavailable e. Petitions to rezone to B-2C are likely to concern only one lot d some may be bordered on both sides by residential uses. These petitions ould not be denied on the grounds of "spot zoning" but should be evaluated on e guidelines above. Residentiai 10. Develop infill housing on the two vacant residential lo on the south side of the street east of Milton and east of VicYOria. 11. Continue to zehabilitate housing, especially betw en Chatsworth and Avon. 12. Five residential parcels are rezoned to reflec their current use and best future use. On the north side of Selby at Griggs, two sing family properties and one two-family property are rezoned to RT-1 (one and t o family residential) from RM-2 (apartments). At the narthwest and southwest corner of Mackubin, two condominium buildings are rezoned to RM-2 from B-2 (commu ' business). Industrial 13.

Most of Selby Avenue east of Dale is within the Historic Hill Heritage Preservation District. New construction an exterior rehabilitation is subject to the district's design guidelines and must be reviewed a d approved by city staff or the commission before construction can began. Selby Avenue w st of Dale was developed at a later date than the Hill District, generally between 1900 d 1940. The siting of buildings along this section, however, is similar to the Hill Disuict, ith business buIldings placed at the sidewalk and often at the corners of blocks ��-�� and residential buildings setback from the street. It is in the city's best interest to pt promote this distinct urban pattern of older cities. Good design is good for business positive effect on the surrounding neighborhood. The design guidelines should be promoted by ali who deal with development alo the street - the district councils, the community development corporation, businesses owne , and residents. They should be used by city staff when reviewing proposed devel ment in the site plan review process and when selling city owned land. Business areas i. New buildings (except those for auto orienied uses, such as s stations) shouid be constructed at the front lot line, next to the sidewalk. Buil gs should not be set back �� from the street with parking in front of ihe building; this ' largely a suburban development pattern and should be avoided on Selby. On the ground floor of buildings, windows should ce the street and be a dominant feature of the building. �'he upper floors of build' gs should be predominantly solid. If windows have been filled in, they should be ened as much possible. Windows on the street mean that there are more "eyes" on e street which can contribute to safety. Buiiding materials are important to the qu ity of business blocks and surrounding areas: The building materials ofnew b' dings shouid relate to the materials of the surrounding buildings. For rehabilitaf n of existing buildings it is best to stay with the materials of the original building ra er than attempting to change them. Parking lots should be separated om the sidewalk by a landscaped strip. This will partially screen the lot and ma' tain the continuity of buildings placed at the sidewalk. Residential New buildings should b sited at a distance not more than 5% out-of-line from the setback of existing adj ent buildings. 6.

I formally object to the City of St. Pau1 rezoning my properky to OS-1. My opposition is premised on the fact, al4 othsr non conforming business properties on Selby Avenue, proposed rezoning designations are based upon their respective current usage. The proposed rezoning of my property is not being handled consistently. It is my position that my property should not be rezoned to OS-1. Be advised that the current usage of the property is a retail/service business not office. I am perpiexed by the proposed zoning classification Consistent with my opposition, I ask the St. Paul City Council not rezone my property to OS-1. In the alternative, I do not object to rezoning the property to B-3, its current usage. Thank you � � � i� -, i�4��f��r � . -:�. . � !I 1 � �l - �l � l METROWORKS, INCORPORATED 175 N. Lexington Parkway St. Paul, Minnesota 55104 Telephone 612-647-5000 Jerry Blakey St. Paul City Council 3rd Floor 15 W. Kellogg B1vd St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 RE: Selby Avenue Small Area Plan 175 N. Lex'vngton Parkway aka 1103 Selby Avenue Dear Councilman Blakey: This Ietter is formaS opposition to the proposed rezoning of the property above referenced to OS-1 from its current zoning of RM-2. The opposition is two-fold. First, it is my understanding that al] proposed rezoning is premised upon changing certain non-conforming business properties to their current usage. The subject property is currently being used as a retail business with cosmetic services. Having stated ttus, the recommendation of OS-1 cause me di�culty, as while under the Zoning Code, section 60.514, the cunent usage is permitted, the usage is subject to a special conditions pernut. Subjecting this property to a specia] conditions permit process, subject to approval by the planning commission, is inconsistent with the stated goa] of the rezoning and the handling of other properties similarly situated. �EC��u�a 3Ut 2 2 '�� IERRY B�AKEY July 21, 1997 Second, a non-confoz•ming use pernut has been granted the property and rezoning of the property from RM-2 to OS-1 wili change the property from residential to commercial. The rezoning to OS-1 wili materially affect the property taaces, which the additional expense must be borne by us, the business owner. In this regard, this rezoning offers no advantages to the property owner or the business. .. ,° Jerry Blakey -July 21, 1997- �t�-'l�l It is claar, based upon the expressed purpose of rezoning non•conPorming busin� properties, the proposed OS-1 zoning is selective, arbitrary and inconsistent. In this regard, it appears to me that the propased rezoning should have been B-3. In fiu�therance of my opposition, I believe that the St. Paul City Councit should not rezone the property to OS-1 but instead rezone to B-3. Your attention attd due consideration to this important matter would be appreciated. Sincerely, � -. . David J � . J ""`�^ L,A- c.a Georgina Y. Stephens
