Sincerely, �� Donna Drummond City Planner Attachments cc: City Councilmembers . r � � ± ,� city of saint paul pianning comm�ssion resoiution file number _ 98-13 �te Februarv 27. �998 WHEREAS, COMO NORTHTOWN CREDIT i71VION, File # 98-008, has petitioned to rezone 965/967 CHURCHILL STREET, situated on the northwest corner of Churchill Street and Front Avenue, from RT-1 (rivo-family residential) to B-2 (community business) to allow additional parking for the existing credit union.; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission on February 19, 1998, heid a public hearing at which all persons present were given an opporiunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.400 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning Committee at ihe public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the following findings of fact: � 1. The Como Northtown Credit Union is the owner of the property and intends to expand the existing pazking lot to the east and add a new entrance from Churchill Street. The property onto which they intend to expand is occupied by a duplex residential structure, which will be demolished. The number of parking spaces serving the credit union will increase from 20 to 29. The new driveway from Churchill Street will be an entrance only, and will allow better circulation of credit union customers using the drive-up windows. There are two existing parking lot entrances on Front Avenue. The one that is closest to Lexington Pazkway wi11 be closed. The Department of Public Works Traffic Division supports this closure and the new entrance from Churchill Street. Currently, when the credit union is busy, cars waiting to use the drive-up often spi11 out onto Front Avenue. 3. Section 62.104(9)c. of the Zoning Code requires that entrances and exits to and from a11 parking facilities located in land zoned other than singie-family, two-family, or townhouse residential must be at least twenty-five (25) feet from any adjoining properry in those same zoning districts. The site plan shows the proposed driveway entrance less moved by Field seconded by � �C� faVOr unanimous 8�IC1St � � �I i � Zoning File #98-OQ8 Page Two of Resolution than the required 25 feet from the residential property to the north. The applicant will need to modify the site plan during site plan review or appiy for a variance of this requirement. 4. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Goals and obj ectives in the District b Plan include the following: ta provide adequate off-street pazking to commercial areas and to encourage the development of new housing and businesses (pp. 6&21). In addition, the Economic Development Strategy includes: 1) Objective #6, "ensure sufficient land for future business growth"; 2) Policy #25, "the city's land use plan should provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and expansion in order to increase the proportion of commerciallindustrial tax base"; and 3) Policy #29, "the city should periodically review its zoning regulations and amend them as necessary to keep current with technological and economic changes affecting the nature of business activity" (pp. 17-18). 5. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. There is commercial or industrial development at all four corners of the intersection. Extending � the B-2 zoning district east on Front Avenue to Churchill Street to accommodate the , expansion of the credit union parking lot and new entrance from Churchill is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. In addition, there is a significant amount of traffic in the area. Lexington Pazkway cames 22,750 vehicles per day; westbound Front Avenue carries 9,400 vehicles per day, and eastbound Energy Park Drive carries 13,325 vehicles per day. The new entrance on Churchill Street and the closure of the existing driveway on Front Avenue closest to Lexington Pazkway will improve traffic circulation and safety in the area. 6. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties if appropriate landscaping and screening is installed on the north and east edges of the parking lot to shield residences on Churchill Street. The site plan does not show any screening or landscaping, so this conaem should be addressed during site plan review. There may be an increase in trafftc on Churchiil Street from the north to access the new entrance, although the general improvement in traffic safety and circulation for the area that results from this new entrance will be worth the possibility of some additional traffic on Churchill Street. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the properry stating support for the rezoning (15 pazcels eligible, 10 required, and 10 signed). , � � , a � � Zoning File #98-00$ Page Three of Resolution NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Plamiing Commission that the petition of COMO NORTTiTOWN CREDIT TJNION to rezone property at 965/967 CHURCHII,L STREET, more particulazly described as I.ots 16 & 17, Block 60; Hagerman's Subdivision of Lot 60 of Lake Como Vilias, from an RT-1 (two-family residential) zoning classification to a B-2 (community business) zoning classification, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the Council of the City of Saint Paul that progerty located at 965/967 CHURCHII,L STREET be rezoned from RT-1 to B-2 in accordance with the petition for rezoning on file with the Saint Paul Depaztment of Planning and Economic Development. . • � !i � Saint Paul Planning Commission City Hall Conference Center 15 Kellogg Boulevard West A meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul was held Friday, February 27, 1998, at 830 a.m. in the Conference Center of City Hall.

Planning Administrator's Announcements Mr. Ford announced that he and few staff attended the workshop on "Neighborhoods in the Balance" at the University Club one week ago. It was a forum organized to address the issues of those neighborhoods that are neither in the category of those that are most severely dish and therefore get most of the attention under some of the improvement programs, or those that are doing wonderfully in the housing market and get the attention from the private market anyway. Keynote speaker was Kathryn Merchant who's with an organization in Cleveland working on neighborhood development. She has worked in this area in the past and lmows the field of neighborhood development very well. She shared some enlightening observations of several of the neighborhoods, four of them in Saint Paul. .

(Kady Dadlez, 266-6582, Southeast Team) MOTION: Commissioner Field maved approval af the requested modiftcation nf the river corridor standards to ttllow the construction of a single family hame on slopes greater than 18 % within 40 feet of the btuff tine. Commissioner Field added that the Dish 1 Communiry Council supports the river comdor modification with conditions. Commissioner Geisser noted that she is concemed with the site conditions issues and the drainage issues. At the time the Highwood Plan was developed, there was discussion about these issues that commissioners felt would be difficult in that area if certain things weren't done. She questioned at what point did the City intend to deal with the major problem which includes the drainage, erosion, and the working of their own septic. Her second question was if this home is permitted to be built and these problems arise, is the City then held liable in any way because the construction of this house was permitted. Commissioner Chavez stated that he voted against this at Zoning Committee. He was concemed about similaz issues as Commissioner Geisser, specifically because there were letters of concern in the file from both the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and United States Department of Interior. He said he would vote against it today as well. �. . t . �. Commissioner Field noted that he, too, was concemed regarding these letters. He asked staff if there was anything unique with respect to this proposed modificarion compared to many of the � other proposed river corridor modifications that have been ganted. Ae was toid there was nothing unique about this particular case. He supposed that someone contacted these entities and solicited their input. He informed the Commission that Mr. Wamer had pointed out that some of the arguments that were put forth in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' letter did not even address the residenrial setting, but related to a commercial and business setting. Mr. Wamer pointed out that the arguments in the letter were inconsistent; the conclusions were based on a different set of regulations than the letter alluded to, applied. Ms. Dadlez added that drainage and erosion aze an issue on that site, whether the house is built or not. A house built on the site will add, minimally, to run off, and they'll try to control erosion. The Public Works Department is aware of the issue of drainage in that area, and a lot of neighbors have expressed concems about it. In the past, as the staff report indicates, Public Works has proposed a storm sewer pipe that wouid go down the hill to Ogden and then out to Highway 61. Right now, the Highwood Plan prohibits the storm and sanitary sewer, and they are not pursuing that. Their preference, if they could come to agreement with people, would probably be installing a sanitary sewer, and as long as you're doing that, you might as well install a storm sewer. Public Works just hasn't moved forwazd on that because as much as the neighborhood wants to find a solution, they may not be agreeable to that solution. Commissioner Geisser then asked what the liability factor of the City is, in this case. Ms. Dadlez replied that she could not answer that. The mofron on the floor to recommend apprnval of the requested modifcation of river corridor standards to allow the construction of a single famity home on stopes greater than � i8% and within 40 feei of the bluff line carried on rall call vote of I2 - 2(Chavez, Geisser). #4&�10 Ph� Vang - C'hue Thau - Change of nonconforming use permit to allow a grocery store at 937 Mae olia Avenue. (Patricia James, 266-fi639, Northeast Team) bI4TTON: Commissioner Fie1d moved appraval of the requested change of nonconforming use permit to allow a grocery stnre at 937 Magnolia Avenue with the following conditions: I. The store be open no earlier than 7 am. ttnd no later than 10 p.m.; 2. There be no outside vending machines; and 3. There be no outside telephone. Commissioner Geisser aclmowledged that she is disturbed by the conditions that were set on this. She does not understand what micro managing small business has to do with zoning. Particularly, she doesn't believe that the Planning Commission has jurisdiction regarding where there should be a telephone. She interjected that on the phone, Mark Vaught articulated that his sister spent 45 minutes looking for a telephone in order to call him because she was lost and needed directions to his house. We seem to be removing telephones from our streets. AfOTiO�T: Commissioner Geisser moved that number 3 be deleted from the conditions. Commissioner Maddox seconded the motion. � �� Commissioner Kramer informed the Commission that this properry is not zoned for a grocery store to begin with. It is a nonconforming building in a residentiai neighborhood; there's s � school across the street, a church one house to the north, and residents abutting iaunediately on a street that carries less than 3Q00 cars a day in a residential neighborhood. At Zoning Committee, Commissioner Kramer asked the applicant if he intended to put a telephone outside and the answer was no. He asked the applicant if he intended to have outside vending and the answer was no. Regarding hours, the applicant said that the Dishict Council wanted him to have longer hours than he had originally proposed. This site is two blocks from Arcade Street on which there are many telephones. Commissioner Kramer added that lus concern is not necessarily with this applicant, but with future applicants who might decide to have a pay phone and pop machines, etc. He stated that it seemed to him that these conditians were protecrions that aze completely appropriate for an applicant securing a nonconforming use permit in a residenrial neighborhood. Commissioner Field stated that he seconds many of Commissioner Kramer's observafions. He noted that he, too, hates to overregulate business, but this is a nonconforming use permit; and considering the sunounding conditions and the school and the residential character of the area, he feels these conditions are apptopriate. Commissioner Gordon asked if the idea behind having no telephone and no vending machines was to avoid having kids congregating around them. Commissioner Kramer responded that certainly was one of the considerations. Another consideration was the late night acrivity that takes places around many telephones. The motinn on the,fioor to amend the oris nat morion by deleting condition number 3 fttiled on a voice vote. � MnTIO�i; Commissioner Treichel moved the amendment that condidon number one read that the store be open no earlier than 6 a.m. and nn later than IO p.m.: Commissinner Fietd seconded the mofion which carried unanimously on a voice vote. The main motion to recommend approval of a change of nonconforming permit to allow a grocery store at 937 Magnalia Avenue with amended conditions carried on a voice vote (Geisser). Commissioner Field read the agenda for the next Zoning Committee meeting Thursday, Mazch 5, 1948. V. Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development Committee F.aai M�tro Tran�it Facilitv - Resolution of findings for adoption on the five altemative sites for the proposed transit facility. -(Kady Dadlez, Southeast) MOTInN: On behalf of both the Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development and Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Committees, Commissioner Maddox moved approval of tke resotution of f ndings far adoptian on the five alternative sites for the proposed transit facility. There was some discussion of whether a layover would be more appropriate to further 0 . ♦� . - discussion. � The motion on the floor carried unanimously an a voice vote. Ramcg�Coan� Pr rial Detentio�n rr - Resolution of fmdings for adoption on the three altemative sites for the proposed detention center. (Kady Dadlez, Southeast Team) Commissioner Maddox informed commissioners that there was a lively discussion over the first fmding which asked if it was in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, reminding everyone the age of the Comprehensive Plan, when it has been updated, and the fact that it doesn't specify ` jail" in the Plan. biOTION: On behalf of both the Camprehensive Planning arrd Economic Devetopment and Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Cnmmitrees, Commissioner Maddox moved approvat of the resotution of findings for adoption on the ihree alternative sites for the proposed detention center. . Commissioner Geisser stated that her objection to this resolution is that the Planning Commission was asked to look at these sites in relation to conformance to the Comprehensive Plan. In her understanding in looking at these sites, and considering that the Public Safety site as prime downtown real estate, which hopefuily would he developed by a private developer for mixed use and which could bring a great amount of tax base into the City; and remembering that about 1000 people do live in that area, and the fact that the Metropolitan Councii has asked Saint Paul to build 400� housing units by 2020, and the downtown area is the grime location for building that housing, she sees nothing in the T-94 site that makes it out of confarmance or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Her feeling is that either all of the sites aze in � conformance or none of thz sites are in conformance. She doesn't see how one can have it both ways in terms of these three sites. Commissioner Geisser added that the industrial site employs about 65-75 people depending on who's figures you use, and pays approximately $48,000 in taxes. No one seemed to have this same feeling when Minnesota Mutual, who will now be destroying 4 office buildings and will be relocating hundreds of people, for an expansion of the Minnesota Mutual building. That is more tax money than probably is now sitting on the site that houses three businesses. So, there's nothing in the City's history that says you can't take a piece of property and make it something else. Commissioner Geisser is acguing that the I-44 sate is, in fact, in conformance and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She asks that alone be sent forward to the City Council. She is not convinced that the only site tt�at's in conformance with the Plan is the current Public Safety site, when they are surrounded with as many residents, if not more, than the 35E site. She asks that an even handed opinion be sent over the City Council. She does not support the resolution before the Commission. Commissioner Gordon supports the resolution. He can't agree that because one site is found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, all sites must be found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He had no trouble finding that the I-94 site is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, based on the findings in the report. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan is clear in focusing on and emphasizes the importance of maintaining and retaining industrial land and retaining businesses. The I-94 industrial site is going to impact on three businesses: Commonwealth Electric, 200 employees; the printing company; and the bar. They � � �� may move out of the City. We'd be taking industrial land out of use and committing it to � public facilities. We need to balance all factors, including the residential. On the other hand, Commissioner Gordon continued, the Public Safety building is already public land; we won't be impacting the tax base; and we'll be adding jobs, not losing job. Commissioner Kramer stated that he supports the resolution. He pointed to other things ta consider: 1) The Pianning Commission is not making a choice between whether or not the Police and Fire building will be torn down and opening the site to private investors; that issue is not on the table. 2) A policy of Saint Paul's economic development suategy states, "the City should reinforce the role of downtown as a center of govemment by encouraging county govemment to locate their offices and service funcrions in the downtown core as a first priority." 3) The Port Authority looked at the "I-44 industrial site" and has expressed its desire for Ramsey County to conrinue its search for a different locarion because the Port does not feel that site is an appropriate site. Commissioner Vaught contended that one can find anything one wants in the Comprehensive Plan. One can argue both for and against something with certainty that it is supported by what you say. Ae feels that the Comprehensive Plan is a guideline, a set of generalized principies that sometime get more specific than they should be and sometimes azen't as specific as they should be. He noted that this is an exceedingiy political issue that has been brilliantly cast in such a way that it not seem political. This report will not advance the issue one inch from where it was when it came to the Commission. He will vote against it because he finds the whole exercise meaningless. � Commissioner McDonell commented that the draft on the findings has a mention of the county's preference for vertical rather tk�an horizontal expansion, and the finai copy has the reverse. He asked which is which. He was told that the county's preference is for horizontal rather than vertical. Commissioner Field noted that he oums a building across the street from the Public Safety building and yet concludes, based on the findings, that this would be an appropriate site for the jail expansion. He sees no adverse impact. Other sites might also be appropriate, too. He will vote in support of the resolurion. Commission Geisser repeated that what the Commission is asked to state is whether these sites are in conformance or consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She is raising the question of whether, in fact, the I-94 industrial site is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; her position is that it is consistent, and if the language remains as it is, she will vote against the motion to approve. The modon on the ftnor approving Xhe resolution of findings for adoprion on the three a[ternative sites for the proposed detention center carried on a ro11 call vote of 13 - 2 (Geisser, Vaught). Commissioner Maddox announced the next meering of the Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development Committee will tae held Wednesday, March 4, at 4 p.m. to review the Phalen Corridor Braft EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). . > i; vi.

He stated that the pian is organized azound four strategies: 1) A Vital City Center - Downtown is not just a central business district, but a center of urban life, with housing and tecreation. - 9000 jobs will be added by 2020. - 3000 housing units will be added by 2020, many being in new urban villages: 1) NE quadrant, north of Lowertown; 2) a Lowertown expansion, towazd the river; 3) the South Wabasha Bridge head site between the bridges on the other side of the river; 4) the Harriet Island area; and 5) CapitAt Heights. - A reinforcement of proposals in the Saint Paul on the Mississippi River Development Framework about sheet level activity and the connec6on among uses, etc., starting with Wabasha Street. 2) Neighborhoods as Urban Villages - More mixed use around the exisring neighborhood centers - Add 30�0 new housing units that meet new urban housing markets. � - Preference for housing sites near transit (especially near University Avenue and West Seventh Corridors) - Preserve the pedestrian orientation of older commercial areas; keep buildings up to the sidewalks. - Neighborhood plans New system for approving. 3) Comdors for Redevelopment - River Corridor - Phalen Corridor - West 7th Riverview Corridor - University Avenue Corridor - Great Northern Corridor 4) Environmental Stewardship - Neighbarhood connections to the River - River regulations: moving to MNRRA Tier II MOTION: Comn:issioner Geisser moved approval of the Saint Paul land Ilse Plan Draft and set the public hearing date for May 22,1998 which carried unanimousty on a voice vote. �18-�� VII. \orthwest Quadrant � P.�ojectBriefing - Tom Harren Mr. Harren brou�ht the Planning Commission up-to-date on the follo�4•ing prioriry projects in the Northwest Quadrant: 1) FrontoFF-n - PED is working with the neighborhood organizations to develop a more strategic housing program for that area. The Greater Frogtown Cammunity Development Corporation, in parinership with PED, has developed a housing strategy for that area. They are working very closely with Builders Outreach Program, a volunteer extension of the Builders Association in the area. The way the housing program is coming together in this area is serving as a model of ho�v we can do same targeting activities in housing in the City. We will be trying to appiy that same type of strategy in some of ihe other areas. 2) Oalland Vil]age - One of the other areas where �r•e are trying to apply the same housing strategy, particularly in the area which is west of Oakland Cemetery and just north of the Lyton Park Place housing development. 3) Great Northern Corridor -(Como Corridor) - Since October, the �ision that �cas being developed Uy the neighborhood organizations, wotking with the Port Authority and PED has expanded into something quite a bit more extensive than just a development of nvo industrial sites. In November, the community adopted the Great Northern Corridor vision for the area, a plan and design for the development of the Maxon SteellDale Street Shops industrial site and the surroundin� area. This plan will be coming before the Neighborhood and Land use � Committee for their review sometime within the next few months. Mr. Harren thinks this is a good exampie of ihe typz of planning now taking place, which is non-traditional and neighborhood based. 4) Sneliine Avenuc - Hamline �Iidway - Another example of a community based planning process that is taking piace. This process began in May with a number of strategy groups meetino on a re�ular basis to develop strategies in five areas. 5) �`'est hIidway Area - There has been some recent development, particularly at the comet of University and Raymond. The Specialty Building is being rehabbed and expected to be used for office spacz. Parkine is the main issue in that area. Curtently, there is a patking study being done by the Midway Chamber of Commerce and University United. 6) Capitol Heights Housing - In a few «�eeks the boundaries of the NtiV Quadrant will change to include the Capitol Heights area. In 1999, the Greater Frogto�vn Community Development Cocporation is interested in taking its model and �ti�orking it in the Capitol Heights area. PED �cill be working with the people in that area alons with District 7 and the Greater Frogtown CDC to develop a plan for that area. 7) University Avenue Alidway Decelopment - Since PED has been u'orkins �ti'ith ihe neighborhood organizations, this target area has espanded significantly. In �c�orkin� with the community, we have activated some real interest in development in that area. i'nitetsit�• Ac•enueYlanning - Larry Soderholm ♦� �� There was University Avenue Corridor Study grepared by University United in 1988. We aze not exactly updating that, but we have a lot of people planning together for University Avenue. � There aze three main planning issues that we are dealing with. The first is a very immediate opportunity for some hansit related federal funding. The transit funding is leftover LRT money that Congress converted into money that we can now spend for bus transit improvements in the central corridor. The money comes through MNDOT and the Ramsey and Hennepin County Regionai Rail Authoriries, who have controi over what will be done, and the money needs to be spent quickly. The total amount is $7.7 million. Saint Paul is putring together a proposal for improving the street design on University Avenue to make it more pedestrian fiiendly and better for bus riders on University Avenue, either at Dale Street or Sneiling. The second focus for L3niversity Avenue planning is a number of major redevelopment sites including corners at Dale, Lexington, and Fairview, and the Snelling bus bam site. Third, we are working on a set of development principles for all of University Avenue, which may evolve into a document for Planning Commission review. As an early draft, the development principles for University Avenue are: 1. We want the buildings oriented to the Avenue; as close as possible to the sidewalk. 2. We want the h�ansportation modes to be integrated. We want to rewgnize that University Avenue will remain one of the region's primary transit corridors, and that we maintain future options for improving transit on University Avenue. The land use and the design features along the Avenue need to support public transportation. 3. We are concemed that maintenance costs are accounted for. � 4. We want it designed for public safety. 5. Air quality continues to be an issue. 6. The Avenue should be designed in segments, with more differenriation of the chazacter of the segments: Westgate Warehouse Urban Village at Raymond Industrial Distxict from Carleton Street to Prior Avenue Office cluster from Prior Avenue to Pierce Sueet The Regional Shogping Center from Snelling to Lexington Pedestrian nodes at Rice Street, Western to Mackubin, Dale Street, Chatsworth to Lexington, and Pascal to Snelling The street design itself should reinforce the different chazacter of sections of University Avenue. Commissioner Treichel commented that she thought some of the pollution problem had been solved at Snelling([Jniversity. She added that she travels through that intersection frequently and any improvement that can be made to that intersecrion will be of great help. Mr. Soderholm informed the Commission that the only violations at Snelling since Spruce Tree Center was built were when the "hot rod" derby was held. There were also a few violations at Lexington and University. The chanoe at the intersection to create the new turn lanes seems to have solved that problem. 0 �� Commissioner Treichel asked about the land diagonaliy across from the Crri$gs-Midway Building. . Mr. Soderhoim reptied that it's open land, and the developer has shown a coupie of altemarive schemes to the Meiriam Pazk Community Council. Mr. Aarren added that we do know that his intention is to put retail on that comer. They have not been receprive to mixed use at that comer. Commissioner McDonell asked how the Home Depot going in on University and Lexington might impact environmental issues at that intersecrion. Mr. Harren suspects that it would increase traffic there and tt�at an environmental analysis wiil be necessary befare permits aze issued. Commissioner Gordon asked if there is anything in University Avenue's plans to include bicycle paths, either on or near University as part of the transit mix. Mr. Soderholm responded that the Transportarion Plan proposes a system of bicycle trails. There is not a proposal to have one on University Avenue itself, but is more likely to run on one of the residential streets parallel to University. Commissioner Kramer asked if he Imew about anything happening at the Maryland Dale intersection. Mr. Harren replied that the gas station may still be in the works. Commissioner Nordin noted that it seems very odd that Como and Snelling wouid be included in Hamline-Midway's uea. Mr. Harren stated that iYs not being considered as part of Hamline-Midway's planning process. The map shows the areas in the quadrant that PED is interested in working with. At Como and Snelling, there's an opporhutity for some type • commercial development consistent with the East Como-Midway parkway Small Area Plan. VIII. Task Force Reports No reports. IX. Old Business Reorganization of the Planning Commission Committees Chair Morton stated that in addition to reorganizing the committees, the Steering Committee also discussed having a liaison between the quadrants and the Planning Commission; having commissioners serve in that capacity. Mr. Ford handed out the information. Regarding the committee structure, the Commission will have five standing committees: 1) 5teering Committee; 2) Zoning Committee; 3) Compre- hensive Planning Committee; 4) Neighborhood and Current Planning Committee; and 5) Communications Committee. There is also the oprion of setting up a special task force W handle the work load under committees. Commissioner Gordon asked if, given the nature of the issue, there would srill be the possibility of combining committees. Chair Morton replied that it is desired to eliminate having to combine committees. 10 t � �� Commissioner Geisser noted that some of these special issues might be more appropriately addressed by task forces because there aze members that may be on the Zoning Committee or � the Communications Committee who aze not on any other committee. Commissioner Treichel asked whether one should be a liaison to their own quadrant. Chair Morton responded that the answer to that quesrion is open. Mr. Ford noted that staff's response to that issue is that, from its point of view, what would reaily be hetpful for staff is to have contact with a Planning Commissioner who has contacts and is particulazly lmowledgeable about the azea. Commissioner Wencl questioned the committee duties and meeting dates. Chair Morton replied that dates and times will be decided by the committee formed. The Phalen Corridor EIS would fali under the duties of the Neighborhood and Current Planning Committee. The new committee shucture will begin at the rime of the next Planning Commission meeting, March 13,1998. Mr. Ford commented that as he has thought through some of the things listed, it is not aiways perfectly obvious where it goes. Sometimes, it might not be unreasonable to select a project for Committee's determined by workload. X. Communications Committee Commissioner Kramer announced that the committee will meet Monday, March 16, 1998, at 3:30 p.m. in the 13th floor conference room. � XI. New Business None. XII.

Donna Drummond presented slides and reviewed the staff report stating that based on Findings 1 through 6 and 8, staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition. Commissioner Chavez referred to a fax he received of a revised plan, and Ms. Drummond said the site pian that was submitted with the application is the one currentiy on the table. She said Tom Seach, who does the City's site p{an review coordination, wili be meeting with the applicant next Monday and proposing possible reconfiguration of the parking lot. Brian Roegge, representing Como Northtown Credit Union, appeared and spoke in concurrence to comments made by Ms. Drummond. � Upon comments of Commissioner Chavez, Mr. Roegge said he received the staff recommendation {ast week pertaining to the 25 feet distance between the nearest residence and the entrance, and upon speaking with his architect they are under the impression that they are in compliance with that requirement. He said they have a meeting scheduled with Mr. Beach on Monday, February 23rd as part of the normal site p(an review process and wiil make any changes needed in order to comply. Upon question of Ghair Field, Mr. Roegge said he does not have a prob(em with rezoning being approved subject to site pian review. There were no further questions. No one else appeared, and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Chavez moved approval of the rezoning based on staff findings, and the motion was seconded by Commissioner 4Cramer.

PARCBL SIZE: The property to be rezoned has 50 £eet of frontage on Front Avenue and is 107.2 feet in depth for a total lot area of 5,360 square feet. The existing credit union building to the west is located on the northeast corner of Front Avenue and Leacington Parkway and the property is 16,441 square feet. C.

ZONIN6 CODE CZTATION: Section 64.400(a) states in part that "the council may, from time to time, amend, supglement or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, or suhsequently established herein pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota SCatutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may be made from time to time. The planning commission may, from time to time, review district boundary lines to determine i£, pursuant to state laws, such district boundary lines should be changed." 9g y��' � Zoning File #98-008 Page Two 5ection 64.400(b) states in part that "an amendment to the zoning code may be initiated by the council, the planning commission or by petition of the owners of sixty-seven (67) percent o£ the area of the property to be rezoned." F. HISTORY/DISCIISSION: There are no previous zoning cases concerning [.his property. G DISTRICT CDIIDTCZL R&CO�NDATZON: The District 6 Planning Council voted to support the rezoning petition. H FTNDINGS: 1. The Como Northtown Credit Union is the owner of the propexty and intends to expand the existing parking lot to the east and add a new entrance from Churchill Street. The property onto which they intend to expand is occupied by a duplex residential structure, which will be demolished. The number of parking spaces serving the credit union will increase from 20 to 29. 2. The new driveway from Churchill Street will be an entrance on1y, and will allow better circulation of credit union customers using the drive- up windows. There are two existing parking 1ot entrances on Front Avenue. The one that is closest to Lexington Parkway will be closed. • The Department of Public Works Traffic Division supports this closure and the new entrance from Churchill Street. Currently, when the credit union is busy, cars waiting to use the drive-up often spill out onto Front Avenue. 3. Section 62.104(9)c. of the Zoning Code requires that entrances and exits to and from all parking £acilities located in land zoned other than single-family, two-family, or townhouse residential must be at least twenty-five {25) feet Erom any adjoining property in those same zoning districts. The site plan shows the proposed driveway entrance less than the required 25 feet from the residential property to the north. The applicant will need to modiPy the site plan during site plan review or apgly for a variance of this requirement. 4. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Goals and objectives in the District 6 Plan include the following: to provide adequate off-street parking to commercial areas and to encourage the development of new housing and husinesses (pg. 6& 21). In addition, the Economic Development Strategy includes: 1) Objective #6, "ensure sufficient land for £uture business growth"; 2) Policy #25, "the city s land use plan should provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and e�cpansion in order to increase the proportion of commercial/industrial tax base"; and 3) Policy #29, "the city should periodically review its zoning regulations and amend them as necessary to keep current with technological and economic changes affecting the nature of business activity" (pp. 17-16). � 5. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. There is commercial or industrial development at all four S�'-�v� � Zoninq File #9$ Page Three corners of the intersection. Eactending the B-2 zoning district east on Front Avenue to Churchill Street to accommodate the expansion of the credit union parking lot and new entrance from Churchill is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. In addition, there is a significant amount of traffic in the area. Lexington Parkway carries 22,750 vehicles per day; westbound Front Avenue carries 9,400 vehicles per day, and eastbound Energy Park Drive carries 13,325 vehicles per day. The new entrance on Churchill Street and the closure of the existing driveway on Front Avenue closest to Lexington Parkway will improve traffic circulation and safety in the area. .6. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties if appropriate landscaping and screening is installed on the north and east edges of the parking lot to shield residences on Churchill Street. The site plan does not show any screening or landscaping, so this concern should be addressed during site plan review. There may be an increase in traffic on Churchill Street from the north to access the new entrance, although the general improvement in traffio safety and circulation for the area that results from this new entrance will be worth the possibility of some additional traffic on Churchill Street. 7. At the time this report was written, staff had received no calls or . correspondence in opposition to the rezoning petition. 8. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property stating support for the rezoning (15 parcels eligible, 10 required, and 10 signed). I. STAFF RECOD4�NDATION: Based on findings 1 through 8 staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition. � PETITION TO AMEND TFiE ZONING CODE � � Depanment of Planning and Economic Development Zoning Section II00 Ciry Hall Annez 25 West Fou�th Street Saint Paul, MN 55102 266-6589 APPLICANT PROPERTY LOCATfON u Property Owner Con�o Northtown Credit Union Address 976 N.

Sincerely, �� Donna Drummond City Planner Attachments cc: City Councilmembers . r � � ± ,� city of saint paul pianning comm�ssion resoiution file number _ 98-13 �te Februarv 27. �998 WHEREAS, COMO NORTHTOWN CREDIT i71VION, File # 98-008, has petitioned to rezone 965/967 CHURCHILL STREET, situated on the northwest corner of Churchill Street and Front Avenue, from RT-1 (rivo-family residential) to B-2 (community business) to allow additional parking for the existing credit union.; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission on February 19, 1998, heid a public hearing at which all persons present were given an opporiunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.400 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning Committee at ihe public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the following findings of fact: � 1. The Como Northtown Credit Union is the owner of the property and intends to expand the existing pazking lot to the east and add a new entrance from Churchill Street. The property onto which they intend to expand is occupied by a duplex residential structure, which will be demolished. The number of parking spaces serving the credit union will increase from 20 to 29. The new driveway from Churchill Street will be an entrance only, and will allow better circulation of credit union customers using the drive-up windows. There are two existing parking lot entrances on Front Avenue. The one that is closest to Lexington Pazkway wi11 be closed. The Department of Public Works Traffic Division supports this closure and the new entrance from Churchill Street. Currently, when the credit union is busy, cars waiting to use the drive-up often spi11 out onto Front Avenue. 3. Section 62.104(9)c. of the Zoning Code requires that entrances and exits to and from a11 parking facilities located in land zoned other than singie-family, two-family, or townhouse residential must be at least twenty-five (25) feet from any adjoining properry in those same zoning districts. The site plan shows the proposed driveway entrance less moved by Field seconded by � �C� faVOr unanimous 8�IC1St � � �I i � Zoning File #98-OQ8 Page Two of Resolution than the required 25 feet from the residential property to the north. The applicant will need to modify the site plan during site plan review or appiy for a variance of this requirement. 4. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Goals and obj ectives in the District b Plan include the following: ta provide adequate off-street pazking to commercial areas and to encourage the development of new housing and businesses (pp. 6&21). In addition, the Economic Development Strategy includes: 1) Objective #6, "ensure sufficient land for future business growth"; 2) Policy #25, "the city's land use plan should provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and expansion in order to increase the proportion of commerciallindustrial tax base"; and 3) Policy #29, "the city should periodically review its zoning regulations and amend them as necessary to keep current with technological and economic changes affecting the nature of business activity" (pp. 17-18). 5. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. There is commercial or industrial development at all four corners of the intersection. Extending � the B-2 zoning district east on Front Avenue to Churchill Street to accommodate the , expansion of the credit union parking lot and new entrance from Churchill is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. In addition, there is a significant amount of traffic in the area. Lexington Pazkway cames 22,750 vehicles per day; westbound Front Avenue carries 9,400 vehicles per day, and eastbound Energy Park Drive carries 13,325 vehicles per day. The new entrance on Churchill Street and the closure of the existing driveway on Front Avenue closest to Lexington Pazkway will improve traffic circulation and safety in the area. 6. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties if appropriate landscaping and screening is installed on the north and east edges of the parking lot to shield residences on Churchill Street. The site plan does not show any screening or landscaping, so this conaem should be addressed during site plan review. There may be an increase in trafftc on Churchiil Street from the north to access the new entrance, although the general improvement in traffic safety and circulation for the area that results from this new entrance will be worth the possibility of some additional traffic on Churchill Street. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the properry stating support for the rezoning (15 pazcels eligible, 10 required, and 10 signed). , � � , a � � Zoning File #98-00$ Page Three of Resolution NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Plamiing Commission that the petition of COMO NORTTiTOWN CREDIT TJNION to rezone property at 965/967 CHURCHII,L STREET, more particulazly described as I.ots 16 & 17, Block 60; Hagerman's Subdivision of Lot 60 of Lake Como Vilias, from an RT-1 (two-family residential) zoning classification to a B-2 (community business) zoning classification, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the Council of the City of Saint Paul that progerty located at 965/967 CHURCHII,L STREET be rezoned from RT-1 to B-2 in accordance with the petition for rezoning on file with the Saint Paul Depaztment of Planning and Economic Development. . • � !i � Saint Paul Planning Commission City Hall Conference Center 15 Kellogg Boulevard West A meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul was held Friday, February 27, 1998, at 830 a.m. in the Conference Center of City Hall.

Planning Administrator's Announcements Mr. Ford announced that he and few staff attended the workshop on "Neighborhoods in the Balance" at the University Club one week ago. It was a forum organized to address the issues of those neighborhoods that are neither in the category of those that are most severely dish and therefore get most of the attention under some of the improvement programs, or those that are doing wonderfully in the housing market and get the attention from the private market anyway. Keynote speaker was Kathryn Merchant who's with an organization in Cleveland working on neighborhood development. She has worked in this area in the past and lmows the field of neighborhood development very well. She shared some enlightening observations of several of the neighborhoods, four of them in Saint Paul. . NSr. Ford announced that there aze at least three Planning Commission decisions that aze . � �, ♦: currently being appealed to the City Council.

(Kady Dadlez, 266-6582, Southeast Team) MOTION: Commissioner Field maved approval af the requested modiftcation nf the river corridor standards to ttllow the construction of a single family hame on slopes greater than 18 % within 40 feet of the btuff tine. Commissioner Field added that the Dish 1 Communiry Council supports the river comdor modification with conditions. Commissioner Geisser noted that she is concemed with the site conditions issues and the drainage issues. At the time the Highwood Plan was developed, there was discussion about these issues that commissioners felt would be difficult in that area if certain things weren't done. She questioned at what point did the City intend to deal with the major problem which includes the drainage, erosion, and the working of their own septic. Her second question was if this home is permitted to be built and these problems arise, is the City then held liable in any way because the construction of this house was permitted. Commissioner Chavez stated that he voted against this at Zoning Committee. He was concemed about similaz issues as Commissioner Geisser, specifically because there were letters of concern in the file from both the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and United States Department of Interior. He said he would vote against it today as well. �. . t . �. Commissioner Field noted that he, too, was concemed regarding these letters. He asked staff if there was anything unique with respect to this proposed modificarion compared to many of the � other proposed river corridor modifications that have been ganted. Ae was toid there was nothing unique about this particular case. He supposed that someone contacted these entities and solicited their input. He informed the Commission that Mr. Wamer had pointed out that some of the arguments that were put forth in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' letter did not even address the residenrial setting, but related to a commercial and business setting. Mr. Wamer pointed out that the arguments in the letter were inconsistent; the conclusions were based on a different set of regulations than the letter alluded to, applied. Ms. Dadlez added that drainage and erosion aze an issue on that site, whether the house is built or not. A house built on the site will add, minimally, to run off, and they'll try to control erosion. The Public Works Department is aware of the issue of drainage in that area, and a lot of neighbors have expressed concems about it. In the past, as the staff report indicates, Public Works has proposed a storm sewer pipe that wouid go down the hill to Ogden and then out to Highway 61. Right now, the Highwood Plan prohibits the storm and sanitary sewer, and they are not pursuing that. Their preference, if they could come to agreement with people, would probably be installing a sanitary sewer, and as long as you're doing that, you might as well install a storm sewer. Public Works just hasn't moved forwazd on that because as much as the neighborhood wants to find a solution, they may not be agreeable to that solution. Commissioner Geisser then asked what the liability factor of the City is, in this case. Ms. Dadlez replied that she could not answer that. The mofron on the floor to recommend apprnval of the requested modifcation of river corridor standards to allow the construction of a single famity home on stopes greater than � i8% and within 40 feei of the bluff line carried on rall call vote of I2 - 2(Chavez, Geisser). #4&�10 Ph� Vang - C'hue Thau - Change of nonconforming use permit to allow a grocery store at 937 Mae olia Avenue. (Patricia James, 266-fi639, Northeast Team) bI4TTON: Commissioner Fie1d moved appraval of the requested change of nonconforming use permit to allow a grocery stnre at 937 Magnolia Avenue with the following conditions: I. The store be open no earlier than 7 am. ttnd no later than 10 p.m.; 2. There be no outside vending machines; and 3. There be no outside telephone. Commissioner Geisser aclmowledged that she is disturbed by the conditions that were set on this. She does not understand what micro managing small business has to do with zoning. Particularly, she doesn't believe that the Planning Commission has jurisdiction regarding where there should be a telephone. She interjected that on the phone, Mark Vaught articulated that his sister spent 45 minutes looking for a telephone in order to call him because she was lost and needed directions to his house. We seem to be removing telephones from our streets. AfOTiO�T: Commissioner Geisser moved that number 3 be deleted from the conditions. Commissioner Maddox seconded the motion. � �� Commissioner Kramer informed the Commission that this properry is not zoned for a grocery store to begin with. It is a nonconforming building in a residentiai neighborhood; there's s � school across the street, a church one house to the north, and residents abutting iaunediately on a street that carries less than 3Q00 cars a day in a residential neighborhood. At Zoning Committee, Commissioner Kramer asked the applicant if he intended to put a telephone outside and the answer was no. He asked the applicant if he intended to have outside vending and the answer was no. Regarding hours, the applicant said that the Dishict Council wanted him to have longer hours than he had originally proposed. This site is two blocks from Arcade Street on which there are many telephones. Commissioner Kramer added that lus concern is not necessarily with this applicant, but with future applicants who might decide to have a pay phone and pop machines, etc. He stated that it seemed to him that these conditians were protecrions that aze completely appropriate for an applicant securing a nonconforming use permit in a residenrial neighborhood. Commissioner Field stated that he seconds many of Commissioner Kramer's observafions. He noted that he, too, hates to overregulate business, but this is a nonconforming use permit; and considering the sunounding conditions and the school and the residential character of the area, he feels these conditions are apptopriate. Commissioner Gordon asked if the idea behind having no telephone and no vending machines was to avoid having kids congregating around them. Commissioner Kramer responded that certainly was one of the considerations. Another consideration was the late night acrivity that takes places around many telephones. The motinn on the,fioor to amend the oris nat morion by deleting condition number 3 fttiled on a voice vote. � MnTIO�i; Commissioner Treichel moved the amendment that condidon number one read that the store be open no earlier than 6 a.m. and nn later than IO p.m.: Commissinner Fietd seconded the mofion which carried unanimously on a voice vote. The main motion to recommend approval of a change of nonconforming permit to allow a grocery store at 937 Magnalia Avenue with amended conditions carried on a voice vote (Geisser). Commissioner Field read the agenda for the next Zoning Committee meeting Thursday, Mazch 5, 1948. V. Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development Committee F.aai M�tro Tran�it Facilitv - Resolution of findings for adoption on the five altemative sites for the proposed transit facility. -(Kady Dadlez, Southeast) MOTInN: On behalf of both the Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development and Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Committees, Commissioner Maddox moved approval of tke resotution of f ndings far adoptian on the five alternative sites for the proposed transit facility. There was some discussion of whether a layover would be more appropriate to further 0 . ♦� . - discussion. � The motion on the floor carried unanimously an a voice vote. Ramcg�Coan� Pr rial Detentio�n rr - Resolution of fmdings for adoption on the three altemative sites for the proposed detention center. (Kady Dadlez, Southeast Team) Commissioner Maddox informed commissioners that there was a lively discussion over the first fmding which asked if it was in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, reminding everyone the age of the Comprehensive Plan, when it has been updated, and the fact that it doesn't specify ` jail" in the Plan. biOTION: On behalf of both the Camprehensive Planning arrd Economic Devetopment and Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Cnmmitrees, Commissioner Maddox moved approvat of the resotution of findings for adoption on the ihree alternative sites for the proposed detention center. . Commissioner Geisser stated that her objection to this resolution is that the Planning Commission was asked to look at these sites in relation to conformance to the Comprehensive Plan. In her understanding in looking at these sites, and considering that the Public Safety site as prime downtown real estate, which hopefuily would he developed by a private developer for mixed use and which could bring a great amount of tax base into the City; and remembering that about 1000 people do live in that area, and the fact that the Metropolitan Councii has asked Saint Paul to build 400� housing units by 2020, and the downtown area is the grime location for building that housing, she sees nothing in the T-94 site that makes it out of confarmance or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Her feeling is that either all of the sites aze in � conformance or none of thz sites are in conformance. She doesn't see how one can have it both ways in terms of these three sites. Commissioner Geisser added that the industrial site employs about 65-75 people depending on who's figures you use, and pays approximately $48,000 in taxes. No one seemed to have this same feeling when Minnesota Mutual, who will now be destroying 4 office buildings and will be relocating hundreds of people, for an expansion of the Minnesota Mutual building. That is more tax money than probably is now sitting on the site that houses three businesses. So, there's nothing in the City's history that says you can't take a piece of property and make it something else. Commissioner Geisser is acguing that the I-44 sate is, in fact, in conformance and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She asks that alone be sent forward to the City Council. She is not convinced that the only site tt�at's in conformance with the Plan is the current Public Safety site, when they are surrounded with as many residents, if not more, than the 35E site. She asks that an even handed opinion be sent over the City Council. She does not support the resolution before the Commission. Commissioner Gordon supports the resolution. He can't agree that because one site is found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, all sites must be found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He had no trouble finding that the I-94 site is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, based on the findings in the report. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan is clear in focusing on and emphasizes the importance of maintaining and retaining industrial land and retaining businesses. The I-94 industrial site is going to impact on three businesses: Commonwealth Electric, 200 employees; the printing company; and the bar. They � � �� may move out of the City. We'd be taking industrial land out of use and committing it to � public facilities. We need to balance all factors, including the residential. On the other hand, Commissioner Gordon continued, the Public Safety building is already public land; we won't be impacting the tax base; and we'll be adding jobs, not losing job. Commissioner Kramer stated that he supports the resolution. He pointed to other things ta consider: 1) The Pianning Commission is not making a choice between whether or not the Police and Fire building will be torn down and opening the site to private investors; that issue is not on the table. 2) A policy of Saint Paul's economic development suategy states, "the City should reinforce the role of downtown as a center of govemment by encouraging county govemment to locate their offices and service funcrions in the downtown core as a first priority." 3) The Port Authority looked at the "I-44 industrial site" and has expressed its desire for Ramsey County to conrinue its search for a different locarion because the Port does not feel that site is an appropriate site. Commissioner Vaught contended that one can find anything one wants in the Comprehensive Plan. One can argue both for and against something with certainty that it is supported by what you say. Ae feels that the Comprehensive Plan is a guideline, a set of generalized principies that sometime get more specific than they should be and sometimes azen't as specific as they should be. He noted that this is an exceedingiy political issue that has been brilliantly cast in such a way that it not seem political. This report will not advance the issue one inch from where it was when it came to the Commission. He will vote against it because he finds the whole exercise meaningless. � Commissioner McDonell commented that the draft on the findings has a mention of the county's preference for vertical rather tk�an horizontal expansion, and the finai copy has the reverse. He asked which is which. He was told that the county's preference is for horizontal rather than vertical. Commissioner Field noted that he oums a building across the street from the Public Safety building and yet concludes, based on the findings, that this would be an appropriate site for the jail expansion. He sees no adverse impact. Other sites might also be appropriate, too. He will vote in support of the resolurion. Commission Geisser repeated that what the Commission is asked to state is whether these sites are in conformance or consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She is raising the question of whether, in fact, the I-94 industrial site is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; her position is that it is consistent, and if the language remains as it is, she will vote against the motion to approve. The modon on the ftnor approving Xhe resolution of findings for adoprion on the three a[ternative sites for the proposed detention center carried on a ro11 call vote of 13 - 2 (Geisser, Vaught). Commissioner Maddox announced the next meering of the Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development Committee will tae held Wednesday, March 4, at 4 p.m. to review the Phalen Corridor Braft EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). . > i; vi. Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Committee � Caint Paul T.and iTse Plan - Approve pubiic hearing draft for dishibutian and set public hearing date on May 22, 1998 -(Larry Soderholm, Northwest Team) Mr. Soderholm provided highlights of the plan for the Planning Commission. He stated that the pian is organized azound four strategies: 1) A Vital City Center - Downtown is not just a central business district, but a center of urban life, with housing and tecreation. - 9000 jobs will be added by 2020. - 3000 housing units will be added by 2020, many being in new urban villages: 1) NE quadrant, north of Lowertown; 2) a Lowertown expansion, towazd the river; 3) the South Wabasha Bridge head site between the bridges on the other side of the river; 4) the Harriet Island area; and 5) CapitAt Heights. - A reinforcement of proposals in the Saint Paul on the Mississippi River Development Framework about sheet level activity and the connec6on among uses, etc., starting with Wabasha Street. 2) Neighborhoods as Urban Villages - More mixed use around the exisring neighborhood centers - Add 30�0 new housing units that meet new urban housing markets. � - Preference for housing sites near transit (especially near University Avenue and West Seventh Corridors) - Preserve the pedestrian orientation of older commercial areas; keep buildings up to the sidewalks. - Neighborhood plans New system for approving. 3) Comdors for Redevelopment - River Corridor - Phalen Corridor - West 7th Riverview Corridor - University Avenue Corridor - Great Northern Corridor 4) Environmental Stewardship - Neighbarhood connections to the River - River regulations: moving to MNRRA Tier II MOTION: Comn:issioner Geisser moved approval of the Saint Paul land Ilse Plan Draft and set the public hearing date for May 22,1998 which carried unanimousty on a voice vote. �18-�� VII. \orthwest Quadrant � P.�ojectBriefing - Tom Harren Mr. Harren brou�ht the Planning Commission up-to-date on the follo�4•ing prioriry projects in the Northwest Quadrant: 1) FrontoFF-n - PED is working with the neighborhood organizations to develop a more strategic housing program for that area. The Greater Frogtown Cammunity Development Corporation, in parinership with PED, has developed a housing strategy for that area. They are working very closely with Builders Outreach Program, a volunteer extension of the Builders Association in the area. The way the housing program is coming together in this area is serving as a model of ho�v we can do same targeting activities in housing in the City. We will be trying to appiy that same type of strategy in some of ihe other areas. 2) Oalland Vil]age - One of the other areas where �r•e are trying to apply the same housing strategy, particularly in the area which is west of Oakland Cemetery and just north of the Lyton Park Place housing development. 3) Great Northern Corridor -(Como Corridor) - Since October, the �ision that �cas being developed Uy the neighborhood organizations, wotking with the Port Authority and PED has expanded into something quite a bit more extensive than just a development of nvo industrial sites. In November, the community adopted the Great Northern Corridor vision for the area, a plan and design for the development of the Maxon SteellDale Street Shops industrial site and the surroundin� area. This plan will be coming before the Neighborhood and Land use � Committee for their review sometime within the next few months. Mr. Harren thinks this is a good exampie of ihe typz of planning now taking place, which is non-traditional and neighborhood based. 4) Sneliine Avenuc - Hamline �Iidway - Another example of a community based planning process that is taking piace. This process began in May with a number of strategy groups meetino on a re�ular basis to develop strategies in five areas. 5) �`'est hIidway Area - There has been some recent development, particularly at the comet of University and Raymond. The Specialty Building is being rehabbed and expected to be used for office spacz. Parkine is the main issue in that area. Curtently, there is a patking study being done by the Midway Chamber of Commerce and University United. 6) Capitol Heights Housing - In a few «�eeks the boundaries of the NtiV Quadrant will change to include the Capitol Heights area. In 1999, the Greater Frogto�vn Community Development Cocporation is interested in taking its model and �ti�orking it in the Capitol Heights area. PED �cill be working with the people in that area alons with District 7 and the Greater Frogtown CDC to develop a plan for that area. 7) University Avenue Alidway Decelopment - Since PED has been u'orkins �ti'ith ihe neighborhood organizations, this target area has espanded significantly. In �c�orkin� with the community, we have activated some real interest in development in that area. i'nitetsit�• Ac•enueYlanning - Larry Soderholm ♦� �� There was University Avenue Corridor Study grepared by University United in 1988. We aze not exactly updating that, but we have a lot of people planning together for University Avenue. � There aze three main planning issues that we are dealing with. The first is a very immediate opportunity for some hansit related federal funding. The transit funding is leftover LRT money that Congress converted into money that we can now spend for bus transit improvements in the central corridor. The money comes through MNDOT and the Ramsey and Hennepin County Regionai Rail Authoriries, who have controi over what will be done, and the money needs to be spent quickly. The total amount is $7.7 million. Saint Paul is putring together a proposal for improving the street design on University Avenue to make it more pedestrian fiiendly and better for bus riders on University Avenue, either at Dale Street or Sneiling. The second focus for L3niversity Avenue planning is a number of major redevelopment sites including corners at Dale, Lexington, and Fairview, and the Snelling bus bam site. Third, we are working on a set of development principles for all of University Avenue, which may evolve into a document for Planning Commission review. As an early draft, the development principles for University Avenue are: 1. We want the buildings oriented to the Avenue; as close as possible to the sidewalk. 2. We want the h�ansportation modes to be integrated. We want to rewgnize that University Avenue will remain one of the region's primary transit corridors, and that we maintain future options for improving transit on University Avenue. The land use and the design features along the Avenue need to support public transportation. 3. We are concemed that maintenance costs are accounted for. � 4. We want it designed for public safety. 5. Air quality continues to be an issue. 6. The Avenue should be designed in segments, with more differenriation of the chazacter of the segments: Westgate Warehouse Urban Village at Raymond Industrial Distxict from Carleton Street to Prior Avenue Office cluster from Prior Avenue to Pierce Sueet The Regional Shogping Center from Snelling to Lexington Pedestrian nodes at Rice Street, Western to Mackubin, Dale Street, Chatsworth to Lexington, and Pascal to Snelling The street design itself should reinforce the different chazacter of sections of University Avenue. Commissioner Treichel commented that she thought some of the pollution problem had been solved at Snelling([Jniversity. She added that she travels through that intersection frequently and any improvement that can be made to that intersecrion will be of great help. Mr. Soderholm informed the Commission that the only violations at Snelling since Spruce Tree Center was built were when the "hot rod" derby was held. There were also a few violations at Lexington and University. The chanoe at the intersection to create the new turn lanes seems to have solved that problem. 0 �� Commissioner Treichel asked about the land diagonaliy across from the Crri$gs-Midway Building. . Mr. Soderhoim reptied that it's open land, and the developer has shown a coupie of altemarive schemes to the Meiriam Pazk Community Council. Mr. Aarren added that we do know that his intention is to put retail on that comer. They have not been receprive to mixed use at that comer. Commissioner McDonell asked how the Home Depot going in on University and Lexington might impact environmental issues at that intersecrion. Mr. Harren suspects that it would increase traffic there and tt�at an environmental analysis wiil be necessary befare permits aze issued. Commissioner Gordon asked if there is anything in University Avenue's plans to include bicycle paths, either on or near University as part of the transit mix. Mr. Soderholm responded that the Transportarion Plan proposes a system of bicycle trails. There is not a proposal to have one on University Avenue itself, but is more likely to run on one of the residential streets parallel to University. Commissioner Kramer asked if he Imew about anything happening at the Maryland Dale intersection. Mr. Harren replied that the gas station may still be in the works. Commissioner Nordin noted that it seems very odd that Como and Snelling wouid be included in Hamline-Midway's uea. Mr. Harren stated that iYs not being considered as part of Hamline-Midway's planning process. The map shows the areas in the quadrant that PED is interested in working with. At Como and Snelling, there's an opporhutity for some type • commercial development consistent with the East Como-Midway parkway Small Area Plan. VIII. Task Force Reports No reports. IX. Old Business Reorganization of the Planning Commission Committees Chair Morton stated that in addition to reorganizing the committees, the Steering Committee also discussed having a liaison between the quadrants and the Planning Commission; having commissioners serve in that capacity. Mr. Ford handed out the information. Regarding the committee structure, the Commission will have five standing committees: 1) 5teering Committee; 2) Zoning Committee; 3) Compre- hensive Planning Committee; 4) Neighborhood and Current Planning Committee; and 5) Communications Committee. There is also the oprion of setting up a special task force W handle the work load under committees. Commissioner Gordon asked if, given the nature of the issue, there would srill be the possibility of combining committees. Chair Morton replied that it is desired to eliminate having to combine committees. 10 t � �� Commissioner Geisser noted that some of these special issues might be more appropriately addressed by task forces because there aze members that may be on the Zoning Committee or � the Communications Committee who aze not on any other committee. Commissioner Treichel asked whether one should be a liaison to their own quadrant. Chair Morton responded that the answer to that quesrion is open. Mr. Ford noted that staff's response to that issue is that, from its point of view, what would reaily be hetpful for staff is to have contact with a Planning Commissioner who has contacts and is particulazly lmowledgeable about the azea. Commissioner Wencl questioned the committee duties and meeting dates. Chair Morton replied that dates and times will be decided by the committee formed. The Phalen Corridor EIS would fali under the duties of the Neighborhood and Current Planning Committee. The new committee shucture will begin at the rime of the next Planning Commission meeting, March 13,1998. Mr. Ford commented that as he has thought through some of the things listed, it is not aiways perfectly obvious where it goes. Sometimes, it might not be unreasonable to select a project for Committee's determined by workload. X. Communications Committee Commissioner Kramer announced that the committee will meet Monday, March 16, 1998, at 3:30 p.m. in the 13th floor conference room. � XI. New Business None. XII.

The property onto which they intend to expand is occupied by a duplex residential structure, which will be demolished. The number of parking spaces serving the credit union will increase from 20 to 29. 2. The new driveway from Churchill Street will be an entrance on1y, and will allow better circulation of credit union customers using the drive- up windows. There are two existing parking 1ot entrances on Front Avenue. The one that is closest to Lexington Parkway will be closed. • The Department of Public Works Traffic Division supports this closure and the new entrance from Churchill Street. Currently, when the credit union is busy, cars waiting to use the drive-up often spill out onto Front Avenue. 3. Section 62.104(9)c. of the Zoning Code requires that entrances and exits to and from all parking £acilities located in land zoned other than single-family, two-family, or townhouse residential must be at least twenty-five {25) feet Erom any adjoining property in those same zoning districts. The site plan shows the proposed driveway entrance less than the required 25 feet from the residential property to the north. The applicant will need to modiPy the site plan during site plan review or apgly for a variance of this requirement. 4. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Goals and objectives in the District 6 Plan include the following: to provide adequate off-street parking to commercial areas and to encourage the development of new housing and husinesses (pg. 6& 21). In addition, the Economic Development Strategy includes: 1) Objective #6, "ensure sufficient land for £uture business growth"; 2) Policy #25, "the city s land use plan should provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and e�cpansion in order to increase the proportion of commercial/industrial tax base"; and 3) Policy #29, "the city should periodically review its zoning regulations and amend them as necessary to keep current with technological and economic changes affecting the nature of business activity" (pp. 17-16). � 5. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. There is commercial or industrial development at all four S�'-�v� � Zoninq File #9$ Page Three corners of the intersection. Eactending the B-2 zoning district east on Front Avenue to Churchill Street to accommodate the expansion of the credit union parking lot and new entrance from Churchill is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. In addition, there is a significant amount of traffic in the area. Lexington Parkway carries 22,750 vehicles per day; westbound Front Avenue carries 9,400 vehicles per day, and eastbound Energy Park Drive carries 13,325 vehicles per day. The new entrance on Churchill Street and the closure of the existing driveway on Front Avenue closest to Lexington Parkway will improve traffic circulation and safety in the area. .6. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties if appropriate landscaping and screening is installed on the north and east edges of the parking lot to shield residences on Churchill Street. The site plan does not show any screening or landscaping, so this concern should be addressed during site plan review. There may be an increase in traffic on Churchill Street from the north to access the new entrance, although the general improvement in traffio safety and circulation for the area that results from this new entrance will be worth the possibility of some additional traffic on Churchill Street. 7. At the time this report was written, staff had received no calls or . correspondence in opposition to the rezoning petition. 8. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property stating support for the rezoning (15 parcels eligible, 10 required, and 10 signed). I. STAFF RECOD4�NDATION: Based on findings 1 through 8 staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition. � PETITION TO AMEND TFiE ZONING CODE � � Depanment of Planning and Economic Development Zoning Section II00 Ciry Hall Annez 25 West Fou�th Street Saint Paul, MN 55102 266-6589 APPLICANT PROPERTY LOCATfON u Property Owner Con�o Northtown Credit Union Address 976 N.

Sincerely, �� Donna Drummond City Planner Attachments cc: City Councilmembers . r � � ± ,� city of saint paul pianning comm�ssion resoiution file number _ 98-13 �te Februarv 27. �998 WHEREAS, COMO NORTHTOWN CREDIT i71VION, File # 98-008, has petitioned to rezone 965/967 CHURCHILL STREET, situated on the northwest corner of Churchill Street and Front Avenue, from RT-1 (rivo-family residential) to B-2 (community business) to allow additional parking for the existing credit union.; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission on February 19, 1998, heid a public hearing at which all persons present were given an opporiunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of Section 64.400 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning Committee at ihe public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the following findings of fact: � 1. The Como Northtown Credit Union is the owner of the property and intends to expand the existing pazking lot to the east and add a new entrance from Churchill Street. The property onto which they intend to expand is occupied by a duplex residential structure, which will be demolished. The number of parking spaces serving the credit union will increase from 20 to 29. The new driveway from Churchill Street will be an entrance only, and will allow better circulation of credit union customers using the drive-up windows. There are two existing parking lot entrances on Front Avenue. The one that is closest to Lexington Pazkway wi11 be closed. The Department of Public Works Traffic Division supports this closure and the new entrance from Churchill Street. Currently, when the credit union is busy, cars waiting to use the drive-up often spi11 out onto Front Avenue. 3. Section 62.104(9)c. of the Zoning Code requires that entrances and exits to and from a11 parking facilities located in land zoned other than singie-family, two-family, or townhouse residential must be at least twenty-five (25) feet from any adjoining properry in those same zoning districts. The site plan shows the proposed driveway entrance less moved by Field seconded by � �C� faVOr unanimous 8�IC1St � � �I i � Zoning File #98-OQ8 Page Two of Resolution than the required 25 feet from the residential property to the north. The applicant will need to modify the site plan during site plan review or appiy for a variance of this requirement. 4. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Goals and obj ectives in the District b Plan include the following: ta provide adequate off-street pazking to commercial areas and to encourage the development of new housing and businesses (pp. 6&21). In addition, the Economic Development Strategy includes: 1) Objective #6, "ensure sufficient land for future business growth"; 2) Policy #25, "the city's land use plan should provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and expansion in order to increase the proportion of commerciallindustrial tax base"; and 3) Policy #29, "the city should periodically review its zoning regulations and amend them as necessary to keep current with technological and economic changes affecting the nature of business activity" (pp. 17-18). 5. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. There is commercial or industrial development at all four corners of the intersection. Extending � the B-2 zoning district east on Front Avenue to Churchill Street to accommodate the , expansion of the credit union parking lot and new entrance from Churchill is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. In addition, there is a significant amount of traffic in the area. Lexington Pazkway cames 22,750 vehicles per day; westbound Front Avenue carries 9,400 vehicles per day, and eastbound Energy Park Drive carries 13,325 vehicles per day. The new entrance on Churchill Street and the closure of the existing driveway on Front Avenue closest to Lexington Pazkway will improve traffic circulation and safety in the area. 6. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties if appropriate landscaping and screening is installed on the north and east edges of the parking lot to shield residences on Churchill Street. The site plan does not show any screening or landscaping, so this conaem should be addressed during site plan review. There may be an increase in trafftc on Churchiil Street from the north to access the new entrance, although the general improvement in traffic safety and circulation for the area that results from this new entrance will be worth the possibility of some additional traffic on Churchill Street. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the properry stating support for the rezoning (15 pazcels eligible, 10 required, and 10 signed). , � � , a � � Zoning File #98-00$ Page Three of Resolution NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paul Plamiing Commission that the petition of COMO NORTTiTOWN CREDIT TJNION to rezone property at 965/967 CHURCHII,L STREET, more particulazly described as I.ots 16 & 17, Block 60; Hagerman's Subdivision of Lot 60 of Lake Como Vilias, from an RT-1 (two-family residential) zoning classification to a B-2 (community business) zoning classification, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the City; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the Council of the City of Saint Paul that progerty located at 965/967 CHURCHII,L STREET be rezoned from RT-1 to B-2 in accordance with the petition for rezoning on file with the Saint Paul Depaztment of Planning and Economic Development. . • � !i � Saint Paul Planning Commission City Hall Conference Center 15 Kellogg Boulevard West A meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul was held Friday, February 27, 1998, at 830 a.m. in the Conference Center of City Hall.

Planning Administrator's Announcements Mr. Ford announced that he and few staff attended the workshop on "Neighborhoods in the Balance" at the University Club one week ago. It was a forum organized to address the issues of those neighborhoods that are neither in the category of those that are most severely dish and therefore get most of the attention under some of the improvement programs, or those that are doing wonderfully in the housing market and get the attention from the private market anyway. Keynote speaker was Kathryn Merchant who's with an organization in Cleveland working on neighborhood development. She has worked in this area in the past and lmows the field of neighborhood development very well. She shared some enlightening observations of several of the neighborhoods, four of them in Saint Paul. .

(Kady Dadlez, 266-6582, Southeast Team) MOTION: Commissioner Field maved approval af the requested modiftcation nf the river corridor standards to ttllow the construction of a single family hame on slopes greater than 18 % within 40 feet of the btuff tine. Commissioner Field added that the Dish 1 Communiry Council supports the river comdor modification with conditions. Commissioner Geisser noted that she is concemed with the site conditions issues and the drainage issues. At the time the Highwood Plan was developed, there was discussion about these issues that commissioners felt would be difficult in that area if certain things weren't done. She questioned at what point did the City intend to deal with the major problem which includes the drainage, erosion, and the working of their own septic. Her second question was if this home is permitted to be built and these problems arise, is the City then held liable in any way because the construction of this house was permitted. Commissioner Chavez stated that he voted against this at Zoning Committee. He was concemed about similaz issues as Commissioner Geisser, specifically because there were letters of concern in the file from both the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and United States Department of Interior. He said he would vote against it today as well. �. . t . �. Commissioner Field noted that he, too, was concemed regarding these letters. He asked staff if there was anything unique with respect to this proposed modificarion compared to many of the � other proposed river corridor modifications that have been ganted. Ae was toid there was nothing unique about this particular case. He supposed that someone contacted these entities and solicited their input. He informed the Commission that Mr. Wamer had pointed out that some of the arguments that were put forth in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' letter did not even address the residenrial setting, but related to a commercial and business setting. Mr. Wamer pointed out that the arguments in the letter were inconsistent; the conclusions were based on a different set of regulations than the letter alluded to, applied. Ms. Dadlez added that drainage and erosion aze an issue on that site, whether the house is built or not. A house built on the site will add, minimally, to run off, and they'll try to control erosion. The Public Works Department is aware of the issue of drainage in that area, and a lot of neighbors have expressed concems about it. In the past, as the staff report indicates, Public Works has proposed a storm sewer pipe that wouid go down the hill to Ogden and then out to Highway 61. Right now, the Highwood Plan prohibits the storm and sanitary sewer, and they are not pursuing that. Their preference, if they could come to agreement with people, would probably be installing a sanitary sewer, and as long as you're doing that, you might as well install a storm sewer. Public Works just hasn't moved forwazd on that because as much as the neighborhood wants to find a solution, they may not be agreeable to that solution. Commissioner Geisser then asked what the liability factor of the City is, in this case. Ms. Dadlez replied that she could not answer that. The mofron on the floor to recommend apprnval of the requested modifcation of river corridor standards to allow the construction of a single famity home on stopes greater than � i8% and within 40 feei of the bluff line carried on rall call vote of I2 - 2(Chavez, Geisser). #4&�10 Ph� Vang - C'hue Thau - Change of nonconforming use permit to allow a grocery store at 937 Mae olia Avenue. (Patricia James, 266-fi639, Northeast Team) bI4TTON: Commissioner Fie1d moved appraval of the requested change of nonconforming use permit to allow a grocery stnre at 937 Magnolia Avenue with the following conditions: I. The store be open no earlier than 7 am. ttnd no later than 10 p.m.; 2. There be no outside vending machines; and 3. There be no outside telephone. Commissioner Geisser aclmowledged that she is disturbed by the conditions that were set on this. She does not understand what micro managing small business has to do with zoning. Particularly, she doesn't believe that the Planning Commission has jurisdiction regarding where there should be a telephone. She interjected that on the phone, Mark Vaught articulated that his sister spent 45 minutes looking for a telephone in order to call him because she was lost and needed directions to his house. We seem to be removing telephones from our streets. AfOTiO�T: Commissioner Geisser moved that number 3 be deleted from the conditions. Commissioner Maddox seconded the motion. � �� Commissioner Kramer informed the Commission that this properry is not zoned for a grocery store to begin with. It is a nonconforming building in a residentiai neighborhood; there's s � school across the street, a church one house to the north, and residents abutting iaunediately on a street that carries less than 3Q00 cars a day in a residential neighborhood. At Zoning Committee, Commissioner Kramer asked the applicant if he intended to put a telephone outside and the answer was no. He asked the applicant if he intended to have outside vending and the answer was no. Regarding hours, the applicant said that the Dishict Council wanted him to have longer hours than he had originally proposed. This site is two blocks from Arcade Street on which there are many telephones. Commissioner Kramer added that lus concern is not necessarily with this applicant, but with future applicants who might decide to have a pay phone and pop machines, etc. He stated that it seemed to him that these conditians were protecrions that aze completely appropriate for an applicant securing a nonconforming use permit in a residenrial neighborhood. Commissioner Field stated that he seconds many of Commissioner Kramer's observafions. He noted that he, too, hates to overregulate business, but this is a nonconforming use permit; and considering the sunounding conditions and the school and the residential character of the area, he feels these conditions are apptopriate. Commissioner Gordon asked if the idea behind having no telephone and no vending machines was to avoid having kids congregating around them. Commissioner Kramer responded that certainly was one of the considerations. Another consideration was the late night acrivity that takes places around many telephones. The motinn on the,fioor to amend the oris nat morion by deleting condition number 3 fttiled on a voice vote. � MnTIO�i; Commissioner Treichel moved the amendment that condidon number one read that the store be open no earlier than 6 a.m. and nn later than IO p.m.: Commissinner Fietd seconded the mofion which carried unanimously on a voice vote. The main motion to recommend approval of a change of nonconforming permit to allow a grocery store at 937 Magnalia Avenue with amended conditions carried on a voice vote (Geisser). Commissioner Field read the agenda for the next Zoning Committee meeting Thursday, Mazch 5, 1948. V. Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development Committee F.aai M�tro Tran�it Facilitv - Resolution of findings for adoption on the five altemative sites for the proposed transit facility. -(Kady Dadlez, Southeast) MOTInN: On behalf of both the Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development and Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Committees, Commissioner Maddox moved approval of tke resotution of f ndings far adoptian on the five alternative sites for the proposed transit facility. There was some discussion of whether a layover would be more appropriate to further 0 . ♦� . - discussion. � The motion on the floor carried unanimously an a voice vote. Ramcg�Coan� Pr rial Detentio�n rr - Resolution of fmdings for adoption on the three altemative sites for the proposed detention center. (Kady Dadlez, Southeast Team) Commissioner Maddox informed commissioners that there was a lively discussion over the first fmding which asked if it was in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, reminding everyone the age of the Comprehensive Plan, when it has been updated, and the fact that it doesn't specify ` jail" in the Plan. biOTION: On behalf of both the Camprehensive Planning arrd Economic Devetopment and Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Cnmmitrees, Commissioner Maddox moved approvat of the resotution of findings for adoption on the ihree alternative sites for the proposed detention center. . Commissioner Geisser stated that her objection to this resolution is that the Planning Commission was asked to look at these sites in relation to conformance to the Comprehensive Plan. In her understanding in looking at these sites, and considering that the Public Safety site as prime downtown real estate, which hopefuily would he developed by a private developer for mixed use and which could bring a great amount of tax base into the City; and remembering that about 1000 people do live in that area, and the fact that the Metropolitan Councii has asked Saint Paul to build 400� housing units by 2020, and the downtown area is the grime location for building that housing, she sees nothing in the T-94 site that makes it out of confarmance or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Her feeling is that either all of the sites aze in � conformance or none of thz sites are in conformance. She doesn't see how one can have it both ways in terms of these three sites. Commissioner Geisser added that the industrial site employs about 65-75 people depending on who's figures you use, and pays approximately $48,000 in taxes. No one seemed to have this same feeling when Minnesota Mutual, who will now be destroying 4 office buildings and will be relocating hundreds of people, for an expansion of the Minnesota Mutual building. That is more tax money than probably is now sitting on the site that houses three businesses. So, there's nothing in the City's history that says you can't take a piece of property and make it something else. Commissioner Geisser is acguing that the I-44 sate is, in fact, in conformance and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She asks that alone be sent forward to the City Council. She is not convinced that the only site tt�at's in conformance with the Plan is the current Public Safety site, when they are surrounded with as many residents, if not more, than the 35E site. She asks that an even handed opinion be sent over the City Council. She does not support the resolution before the Commission. Commissioner Gordon supports the resolution. He can't agree that because one site is found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, all sites must be found consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. He had no trouble finding that the I-94 site is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, based on the findings in the report. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan is clear in focusing on and emphasizes the importance of maintaining and retaining industrial land and retaining businesses. The I-94 industrial site is going to impact on three businesses: Commonwealth Electric, 200 employees; the printing company; and the bar. They � � �� may move out of the City. We'd be taking industrial land out of use and committing it to � public facilities. We need to balance all factors, including the residential. On the other hand, Commissioner Gordon continued, the Public Safety building is already public land; we won't be impacting the tax base; and we'll be adding jobs, not losing job. Commissioner Kramer stated that he supports the resolution. He pointed to other things ta consider: 1) The Pianning Commission is not making a choice between whether or not the Police and Fire building will be torn down and opening the site to private investors; that issue is not on the table. 2) A policy of Saint Paul's economic development suategy states, "the City should reinforce the role of downtown as a center of govemment by encouraging county govemment to locate their offices and service funcrions in the downtown core as a first priority." 3) The Port Authority looked at the "I-44 industrial site" and has expressed its desire for Ramsey County to conrinue its search for a different locarion because the Port does not feel that site is an appropriate site. Commissioner Vaught contended that one can find anything one wants in the Comprehensive Plan. One can argue both for and against something with certainty that it is supported by what you say. Ae feels that the Comprehensive Plan is a guideline, a set of generalized principies that sometime get more specific than they should be and sometimes azen't as specific as they should be. He noted that this is an exceedingiy political issue that has been brilliantly cast in such a way that it not seem political. This report will not advance the issue one inch from where it was when it came to the Commission. He will vote against it because he finds the whole exercise meaningless. � Commissioner McDonell commented that the draft on the findings has a mention of the county's preference for vertical rather tk�an horizontal expansion, and the finai copy has the reverse. He asked which is which. He was told that the county's preference is for horizontal rather than vertical. Commissioner Field noted that he oums a building across the street from the Public Safety building and yet concludes, based on the findings, that this would be an appropriate site for the jail expansion. He sees no adverse impact. Other sites might also be appropriate, too. He will vote in support of the resolurion. Commission Geisser repeated that what the Commission is asked to state is whether these sites are in conformance or consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She is raising the question of whether, in fact, the I-94 industrial site is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; her position is that it is consistent, and if the language remains as it is, she will vote against the motion to approve. The modon on the ftnor approving Xhe resolution of findings for adoprion on the three a[ternative sites for the proposed detention center carried on a ro11 call vote of 13 - 2 (Geisser, Vaught). Commissioner Maddox announced the next meering of the Comprehensive Planning and Economic Development Committee will tae held Wednesday, March 4, at 4 p.m. to review the Phalen Corridor Braft EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). . > i; vi. Neighborhood Planning and Land Use Committee � Caint Paul T.and iTse Plan - Approve pubiic hearing draft for dishibutian and set public hearing date on May 22, 1998 -(Larry Soderholm, Northwest Team) Mr. Soderholm provided highlights of the plan for the Planning Commission. He stated that the pian is organized azound four strategies: 1) A Vital City Center - Downtown is not just a central business district, but a center of urban life, with housing and tecreation. - 9000 jobs will be added by 2020. - 3000 housing units will be added by 2020, many being in new urban villages: 1) NE quadrant, north of Lowertown; 2) a Lowertown expansion, towazd the river; 3) the South Wabasha Bridge head site between the bridges on the other side of the river; 4) the Harriet Island area; and 5) CapitAt Heights. - A reinforcement of proposals in the Saint Paul on the Mississippi River Development Framework about sheet level activity and the connec6on among uses, etc., starting with Wabasha Street. 2) Neighborhoods as Urban Villages - More mixed use around the exisring neighborhood centers - Add 30�0 new housing units that meet new urban housing markets. � - Preference for housing sites near transit (especially near University Avenue and West Seventh Corridors) - Preserve the pedestrian orientation of older commercial areas; keep buildings up to the sidewalks. - Neighborhood plans New system for approving. 3) Comdors for Redevelopment - River Corridor - Phalen Corridor - West 7th Riverview Corridor - University Avenue Corridor - Great Northern Corridor 4) Environmental Stewardship - Neighbarhood connections to the River - River regulations: moving to MNRRA Tier II MOTION: Comn:issioner Geisser moved approval of the Saint Paul land Ilse Plan Draft and set the public hearing date for May 22,1998 which carried unanimousty on a voice vote. �18-�� VII. \orthwest Quadrant � P.�ojectBriefing - Tom Harren Mr. Harren brou�ht the Planning Commission up-to-date on the follo�4•ing prioriry projects in the Northwest Quadrant: 1) FrontoFF-n - PED is working with the neighborhood organizations to develop a more strategic housing program for that area. The Greater Frogtown Cammunity Development Corporation, in parinership with PED, has developed a housing strategy for that area. They are working very closely with Builders Outreach Program, a volunteer extension of the Builders Association in the area. The way the housing program is coming together in this area is serving as a model of ho�v we can do same targeting activities in housing in the City. We will be trying to appiy that same type of strategy in some of ihe other areas. 2) Oalland Vil]age - One of the other areas where �r•e are trying to apply the same housing strategy, particularly in the area which is west of Oakland Cemetery and just north of the Lyton Park Place housing development. 3) Great Northern Corridor -(Como Corridor) - Since October, the �ision that �cas being developed Uy the neighborhood organizations, wotking with the Port Authority and PED has expanded into something quite a bit more extensive than just a development of nvo industrial sites. In November, the community adopted the Great Northern Corridor vision for the area, a plan and design for the development of the Maxon SteellDale Street Shops industrial site and the surroundin� area. This plan will be coming before the Neighborhood and Land use � Committee for their review sometime within the next few months. Mr. Harren thinks this is a good exampie of ihe typz of planning now taking place, which is non-traditional and neighborhood based. 4) Sneliine Avenuc - Hamline �Iidway - Another example of a community based planning process that is taking piace. This process began in May with a number of strategy groups meetino on a re�ular basis to develop strategies in five areas. 5) �`'est hIidway Area - There has been some recent development, particularly at the comet of University and Raymond. The Specialty Building is being rehabbed and expected to be used for office spacz. Parkine is the main issue in that area. Curtently, there is a patking study being done by the Midway Chamber of Commerce and University United. 6) Capitol Heights Housing - In a few «�eeks the boundaries of the NtiV Quadrant will change to include the Capitol Heights area. In 1999, the Greater Frogto�vn Community Development Cocporation is interested in taking its model and �ti�orking it in the Capitol Heights area. PED �cill be working with the people in that area alons with District 7 and the Greater Frogtown CDC to develop a plan for that area. 7) University Avenue Alidway Decelopment - Since PED has been u'orkins �ti'ith ihe neighborhood organizations, this target area has espanded significantly. In �c�orkin� with the community, we have activated some real interest in development in that area. i'nitetsit�• Ac•enueYlanning - Larry Soderholm ♦� �� There was University Avenue Corridor Study grepared by University United in 1988. We aze not exactly updating that, but we have a lot of people planning together for University Avenue. � There aze three main planning issues that we are dealing with. The first is a very immediate opportunity for some hansit related federal funding. The transit funding is leftover LRT money that Congress converted into money that we can now spend for bus transit improvements in the central corridor. The money comes through MNDOT and the Ramsey and Hennepin County Regionai Rail Authoriries, who have controi over what will be done, and the money needs to be spent quickly. The total amount is $7.7 million. Saint Paul is putring together a proposal for improving the street design on University Avenue to make it more pedestrian fiiendly and better for bus riders on University Avenue, either at Dale Street or Sneiling. The second focus for L3niversity Avenue planning is a number of major redevelopment sites including corners at Dale, Lexington, and Fairview, and the Snelling bus bam site. Third, we are working on a set of development principles for all of University Avenue, which may evolve into a document for Planning Commission review. As an early draft, the development principles for University Avenue are: 1. We want the buildings oriented to the Avenue; as close as possible to the sidewalk. 2. We want the h�ansportation modes to be integrated. We want to rewgnize that University Avenue will remain one of the region's primary transit corridors, and that we maintain future options for improving transit on University Avenue. The land use and the design features along the Avenue need to support public transportation. 3. We are concemed that maintenance costs are accounted for. � 4. We want it designed for public safety. 5. Air quality continues to be an issue. 6. The Avenue should be designed in segments, with more differenriation of the chazacter of the segments: Westgate Warehouse Urban Village at Raymond Industrial Distxict from Carleton Street to Prior Avenue Office cluster from Prior Avenue to Pierce Sueet The Regional Shogping Center from Snelling to Lexington Pedestrian nodes at Rice Street, Western to Mackubin, Dale Street, Chatsworth to Lexington, and Pascal to Snelling The street design itself should reinforce the different chazacter of sections of University Avenue. Commissioner Treichel commented that she thought some of the pollution problem had been solved at Snelling([Jniversity. She added that she travels through that intersection frequently and any improvement that can be made to that intersecrion will be of great help. Mr. Soderholm informed the Commission that the only violations at Snelling since Spruce Tree Center was built were when the "hot rod" derby was held. There were also a few violations at Lexington and University. The chanoe at the intersection to create the new turn lanes seems to have solved that problem. 0 �� Commissioner Treichel asked about the land diagonaliy across from the Crri$gs-Midway Building. . Mr. Soderhoim reptied that it's open land, and the developer has shown a coupie of altemarive schemes to the Meiriam Pazk Community Council. Mr. Aarren added that we do know that his intention is to put retail on that comer. They have not been receprive to mixed use at that comer. Commissioner McDonell asked how the Home Depot going in on University and Lexington might impact environmental issues at that intersecrion. Mr. Harren suspects that it would increase traffic there and tt�at an environmental analysis wiil be necessary befare permits aze issued. Commissioner Gordon asked if there is anything in University Avenue's plans to include bicycle paths, either on or near University as part of the transit mix. Mr. Soderholm responded that the Transportarion Plan proposes a system of bicycle trails. There is not a proposal to have one on University Avenue itself, but is more likely to run on one of the residential streets parallel to University. Commissioner Kramer asked if he Imew about anything happening at the Maryland Dale intersection. Mr. Harren replied that the gas station may still be in the works. Commissioner Nordin noted that it seems very odd that Como and Snelling wouid be included in Hamline-Midway's uea. Mr. Harren stated that iYs not being considered as part of Hamline-Midway's planning process. The map shows the areas in the quadrant that PED is interested in working with. At Como and Snelling, there's an opporhutity for some type • commercial development consistent with the East Como-Midway parkway Small Area Plan. VIII. Task Force Reports No reports. IX. Old Business Reorganization of the Planning Commission Committees Chair Morton stated that in addition to reorganizing the committees, the Steering Committee also discussed having a liaison between the quadrants and the Planning Commission; having commissioners serve in that capacity. Mr. Ford handed out the information. Regarding the committee structure, the Commission will have five standing committees: 1) 5teering Committee; 2) Zoning Committee; 3) Compre- hensive Planning Committee; 4) Neighborhood and Current Planning Committee; and 5) Communications Committee. There is also the oprion of setting up a special task force W handle the work load under committees. Commissioner Gordon asked if, given the nature of the issue, there would srill be the possibility of combining committees. Chair Morton replied that it is desired to eliminate having to combine committees. 10 t � �� Commissioner Geisser noted that some of these special issues might be more appropriately addressed by task forces because there aze members that may be on the Zoning Committee or � the Communications Committee who aze not on any other committee. Commissioner Treichel asked whether one should be a liaison to their own quadrant. Chair Morton responded that the answer to that quesrion is open. Mr. Ford noted that staff's response to that issue is that, from its point of view, what would reaily be hetpful for staff is to have contact with a Planning Commissioner who has contacts and is particulazly lmowledgeable about the azea. Commissioner Wencl questioned the committee duties and meeting dates. Chair Morton replied that dates and times will be decided by the committee formed. The Phalen Corridor EIS would fali under the duties of the Neighborhood and Current Planning Committee. The new committee shucture will begin at the rime of the next Planning Commission meeting, March 13,1998. Mr. Ford commented that as he has thought through some of the things listed, it is not aiways perfectly obvious where it goes. Sometimes, it might not be unreasonable to select a project for Committee's determined by workload. X. Communications Committee Commissioner Kramer announced that the committee will meet Monday, March 16, 1998, at 3:30 p.m. in the 13th floor conference room. � XI. New Business None. XII.

Donna Drummond presented slides and reviewed the staff report stating that based on Findings 1 through 6 and 8, staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition. Commissioner Chavez referred to a fax he received of a revised plan, and Ms. Drummond said the site pian that was submitted with the application is the one currentiy on the table. She said Tom Seach, who does the City's site p{an review coordination, wili be meeting with the applicant next Monday and proposing possible reconfiguration of the parking lot. Brian Roegge, representing Como Northtown Credit Union, appeared and spoke in concurrence to comments made by Ms. Drummond. � Upon comments of Commissioner Chavez, Mr. Roegge said he received the staff recommendation {ast week pertaining to the 25 feet distance between the nearest residence and the entrance, and upon speaking with his architect they are under the impression that they are in compliance with that requirement. He said they have a meeting scheduled with Mr. Beach on Monday, February 23rd as part of the normal site p(an review process and wiil make any changes needed in order to comply. Upon question of Ghair Field, Mr. Roegge said he does not have a prob(em with rezoning being approved subject to site pian review. There were no further questions. No one else appeared, and the public hearing was closed. Commissioner Chavez moved approval of the rezoning based on staff findings, and the motion was seconded by Commissioner 4Cramer.

ZONIN6 CODE CZTATION: Section 64.400(a) states in part that "the council may, from time to time, amend, supglement or change the district boundaries or the regulations herein, or suhsequently established herein pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota SCatutes Section 462.357 and amendments thereto as may be made from time to time. The planning commission may, from time to time, review district boundary lines to determine i£, pursuant to state laws, such district boundary lines should be changed." 9g y��' � Zoning File #98-008 Page Two 5ection 64.400(b) states in part that "an amendment to the zoning code may be initiated by the council, the planning commission or by petition of the owners of sixty-seven (67) percent o£ the area of the property to be rezoned." F. HISTORY/DISCIISSION: There are no previous zoning cases concerning [.his property. G DISTRICT CDIIDTCZL R&CO�NDATZON: The District 6 Planning Council voted to support the rezoning petition. H FTNDINGS: 1. The Como Northtown Credit Union is the owner of the propexty and intends to expand the existing parking lot to the east and add a new entrance from Churchill Street. The property onto which they intend to expand is occupied by a duplex residential structure, which will be demolished. The number of parking spaces serving the credit union will increase from 20 to 29. 2. The new driveway from Churchill Street will be an entrance on1y, and will allow better circulation of credit union customers using the drive- up windows. There are two existing parking 1ot entrances on Front Avenue. The one that is closest to Lexington Parkway will be closed. • The Department of Public Works Traffic Division supports this closure and the new entrance from Churchill Street. Currently, when the credit union is busy, cars waiting to use the drive-up often spill out onto Front Avenue. 3. Section 62.104(9)c. of the Zoning Code requires that entrances and exits to and from all parking £acilities located in land zoned other than single-family, two-family, or townhouse residential must be at least twenty-five {25) feet Erom any adjoining property in those same zoning districts. The site plan shows the proposed driveway entrance less than the required 25 feet from the residential property to the north. The applicant will need to modiPy the site plan during site plan review or apgly for a variance of this requirement. 4. The rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Goals and objectives in the District 6 Plan include the following: to provide adequate off-street parking to commercial areas and to encourage the development of new housing and husinesses (pg. 6& 21). In addition, the Economic Development Strategy includes: 1) Objective #6, "ensure sufficient land for £uture business growth"; 2) Policy #25, "the city s land use plan should provide adequate land for industrial and commercial development and e�cpansion in order to increase the proportion of commercial/industrial tax base"; and 3) Policy #29, "the city should periodically review its zoning regulations and amend them as necessary to keep current with technological and economic changes affecting the nature of business activity" (pp. 17-16). � 5. The rezoning is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. There is commercial or industrial development at all four S�'-�v� � Zoninq File #9$ Page Three corners of the intersection. Eactending the B-2 zoning district east on Front Avenue to Churchill Street to accommodate the expansion of the credit union parking lot and new entrance from Churchill is consistent and compatible with the way the area has developed. In addition, there is a significant amount of traffic in the area. Lexington Parkway carries 22,750 vehicles per day; westbound Front Avenue carries 9,400 vehicles per day, and eastbound Energy Park Drive carries 13,325 vehicles per day. The new entrance on Churchill Street and the closure of the existing driveway on Front Avenue closest to Lexington Parkway will improve traffic circulation and safety in the area. .6. The rezoning will not have an adverse impact on adjacent properties if appropriate landscaping and screening is installed on the north and east edges of the parking lot to shield residences on Churchill Street. The site plan does not show any screening or landscaping, so this concern should be addressed during site plan review. There may be an increase in traffic on Churchill Street from the north to access the new entrance, although the general improvement in traffio safety and circulation for the area that results from this new entrance will be worth the possibility of some additional traffic on Churchill Street. 7. At the time this report was written, staff had received no calls or . correspondence in opposition to the rezoning petition. 8. The applicant submitted a sufficient petition of two-thirds of the property owners within one hundred (100) feet of the property stating support for the rezoning (15 parcels eligible, 10 required, and 10 signed). I. STAFF RECOD4�NDATION: Based on findings 1 through 8 staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition. � PETITION TO AMEND TFiE ZONING CODE � � Depanment of Planning and Economic Development Zoning Section II00 Ciry Hall Annez 25 West Fou�th Street Saint Paul, MN 55102 266-6589 APPLICANT PROPERTY LOCATfON u Property Owner Con�o Northtown Credit Union Address 976 N.
