The appiicant proposes to demolish an existing vacant auto service staiion and construct a new seven-bay 4661 square foot auto repair station with parking spaces for 27 cars. A concurrent application for a special condition use permit and setback variance has also been filed. 2. The property has been used for auto related uses since at least 1954 and is across Ford Parkway from a newly reconstructed SuperAmerica auto service station. As such, the establishment of a new auto repair use is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the fuiiy developed surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, because the site has been vacant for some time, the new facility would represent the elimination of a blighting influence on a heavily traveled corner. 3. The property is currentiy zoned B-2 and is contiguous to OS-1, RM-2 and R-3 zoning districts. As such, rezoning would not result in a spot zoning, but, rather, the kind of fine-grained zoning that is appropriate for a major transportation corridor. 4. The use is not inconsistent with the provisions of the comprehensive pian. moved by Field seconded by r . ir� favor Unanimous • against Zoning File #01-209-063 Planning Commission Resolution Page 2 5. The zoning code provides that an application for rezoning must be accompanied by a consent petition of the owners of two thirds of the properties within 100 feet of the property to be rezoned. Eight signatures were required. Eight were received. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paui Pianning Commission, under the authority of the City's Legislative Code, that the appiication of Aicorn, Inc. for a Rezoning from B-2 to B-3 at 1581 Ford Parkway, is hereby recommended to the Saint Paul City Council. � � C� b l -`�(,� Zoning File #01-209-063 Planning Commission Resolution Page 2 5.

Conunissioner Gordon stated that there aze three altematives defined for further analysis in the Midway Area: LRT on I-94; LRT on University Avenue and Busway on TJniversity Avenue. The Committee found that the set of three was adequate.

Commissioner Gordon stated the Comprehensive Planning Committee fluuks there ought to be iwo additional altematives studied; Altemarives B and C as included in today's packet. Altemative B brings the line down St. Peter Street, on the West side of the downtown core area, down to the Entertainment District, then east along 4`�' Street to the Union Depot, continues on to Williams Hill and Lafayette Pazk via the rail cotridor and west on University Avenue to Regions Hospital. Altemative C uses Robert Street down the central part of the dorvntown core azea and goes west on 4�' Sireet to the Entertainment District. � Mr. Allen Lovejoy, City Planner, stated that in 1999 the Plamung Commission recommended that a two way LRT system connecting downYown to the University of Minuesota and downtown Minneapolis can be accommodated well within the elcisting University Avenue right-of-way. The Comtnission also stated that LRT would likely make a very positive contribution to improvement . and development goals for University Avenue; and that the disruption of businesses on the Avenue can be kept to a tolerable minimum -- a key issue to the Plazuilng Commission. The Commission aiso stated that the City should play an active role in timely approval of the EIS. Mr. Lovejoy stated tl�at there have been major developments downtown since the last LRT study in the early 1990s. Most important is the emergence of the Entertainment District, which will attract 4-5 million visitors a year. He stated that decisions on LRT must recognize that change by directly serving the Entertainment District. e visitors and e lo ees of downtown. Those criteria include an"Office Core" station, an Entertainment District station, and a Lowertown station. Further, stations should be designed with historical and azclutectural chazacter, avoid impacting major street connections to the Interstate System and Shepazd/Wamer Road, and minimize use of major traffic stzeets. Mr. Lovejoy showed maps of all downtown Altematives. He stated Fourth Street was the most practical thtu East/West street to use due to traffic constraints. He touched on the three Alternatives that aze being looked at in the Midway. Mr. Lovejoy reported the Comprehensive Planning Committee tallced about the two downtown altematives previously discussed.

He stated Fourth Street was the most practical thru East/West street to use due to traffic constraints. He touched on the three Altematives that ue being looked at in the Midway. � Mr. Lovejoy reported the Comprehensive Planning Committee tallced about the two downtown altematives previously discussed. He then apologized for making last minute staff recommendations, and described a third potential altemative: Altemative A: easrivard on University � 4 � �� • Avenue, north of the Capitol, to the eastem end of the Avenue at Lafayette Road, then using the rail corridor to connect up with Prince Street east of Diamond Products, then west on 4`� Street to the Entertainment District. This altemative would avoid the problems of using St. Peter Street while meeting all the criteria outlined in the resolution. He stated tbat this altemative aiso seemed to meet the spirit of the Committee discussions. MOTION: Conv�rissioner Gordon mmed approval ofAlternateA submitted by PED staff today and Attachments B and C in the resolution from the document of July 3, 2001. Commusioner Kramer seconded the motion. Commissioner Dandrea asked Mr. Lovejoy about urility relocation. Mr. Lovejoy stated there a lot of utilities in Fourth Street and St. Peter Streets. There ue very few utilities in the middle of University Avenue west of Westem. He stated the staff didn't know what the utility impacts were for Altematives A and B along University Avenue and Prince Street or for Alternative C on Robert Street from University Avenue to 4�' Street. In response to a station location question Mr. Lovejoy discussed the station platforms in relation to the length of the city blocks and placement of stations. Downtown blocks are often 300 feet squaze and LRT stations need 300 feet for three-car LRT trains. This means tt�at many blocks aze too small to accommodate the three-caz stations. He stated that three-caz versus two-caz trains might be the topic of further LRT discussions as the EIS proceeds. The motion carried unanimously on a voice vote � VI.

Mr. Mazgulies complimented consultant Sherri Buss with Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik who brought a lot of thought and creativity to the project. He stated the result is that the Plan is creative, thoughtful, and very practical. Mr. Margulies stated he is very appreciative of the work the staff did in preparing this. Ms. Virginia Burke, City Planner, stated that the Department of Natural Resources' 199 7"Metro Greenprint" report first identified the project area as one of the few remaining azeas in St. Paul with a high potential for protection and restoration of natural resources. In 1999 the concept of the Trout Brook - Lower Phalen greenway was incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan and in 2000 the City received a planning grant from the DNR to create a plan for the proposed greenway, and hired the consulting firm of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik.

DATE RECEIVED: May 24, 2001 PRESENT ZOIVING: B-2 BY: Nancy Homans DEADLINE FOR ACTION: 7uly 23, 2001 A. • B. C. PURPOSE: Rezone from B-2 to B-3 to allow for the construction of an auto repair station. PARCEL SIZE: 13825 x 111.19 = 15,372 sq. ft. EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant auto secvice center D. SURRGUNDING LAND USE: North: Office and single family residential, zoned OS-1 and R-3 South: Auto service station, zoned B-2 East: Highland Park, zoned R-1 West: Multiple family residential, zoned RM-2 E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Sec. 64.400 of the zoning code provides for amendment of the district boundaries. F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: A pemut for a filling station operated by SocconVacuum Oil Company was approved in August 1954. A major variance was approved in May 1994 reducing the tequired setback for a canopy over the fueltanks. G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: A recommendation had not been received at the time this staff report was prepared. � H. FINDTNGS: 1. The applicant proposes to demolish an existing vacant auto service station and constmct a new seven-bay 4661 squaze foot auto repair station with parking spaces for 27 cars. A concurrent application for a special condition use permit and setback variance has also been filed. Zoning File #O1-209-063 Page two 2. The properry has been used for auto related uses since at least 1954 and is across Ford Parkway from a newly reconstructed SuperAmerica auto service station. As such, the establishmern of a new auto repair use is unlikely to have an adverse impact oa the fully developed surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, because the site has been vacant for some time, the new facility would represent the elimination of a blighting influence on a heavily travelad comer. 3. The property is currenUy zoned B-2 and is contiguous to OS-1, RM-2 and R-3 zoning districts. As such, rezoning would not result in a spot wning, but, rather, the ldnd of fine- grained zoning that is appropriafe for a xnajor transportation corridor. 4. The use is not inconsistent with the provisions of the comprehensive plan. 5. The code provides that an application for rezoning must be accompanied by a conse� petition of the owners of two thirds of the properties withui 100 feet of the property to be rezoned. Eight signatures were req�ired. Eight were received. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning of 1581 Ford Pazkway from B-2 to B-3. • • � Zoning File #O1-209-063 Page two � �—�c�( 2.

The appiicant proposes to demolish an existing vacant auto service staiion and construct a new seven-bay 4661 square foot auto repair station with parking spaces for 27 cars. A concurrent application for a special condition use permit and setback variance has also been filed. 2. The property has been used for auto related uses since at least 1954 and is across Ford Parkway from a newly reconstructed SuperAmerica auto service station. As such, the establishment of a new auto repair use is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the fuiiy developed surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, because the site has been vacant for some time, the new facility would represent the elimination of a blighting influence on a heavily traveled corner. 3. The property is currentiy zoned B-2 and is contiguous to OS-1, RM-2 and R-3 zoning districts. As such, rezoning would not result in a spot zoning, but, rather, the kind of fine-grained zoning that is appropriate for a major transportation corridor. 4. The use is not inconsistent with the provisions of the comprehensive pian. moved by Field seconded by r . ir� favor Unanimous • against Zoning File #01-209-063 Planning Commission Resolution Page 2 5. The zoning code provides that an application for rezoning must be accompanied by a consent petition of the owners of two thirds of the properties within 100 feet of the property to be rezoned. Eight signatures were required. Eight were received. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Saint Paui Pianning Commission, under the authority of the City's Legislative Code, that the appiication of Aicorn, Inc. for a Rezoning from B-2 to B-3 at 1581 Ford Parkway, is hereby recommended to the Saint Paul City Council. � � C� b l -`�(,� Zoning File #01-209-063 Planning Commission Resolution Page 2 5.

Conunissioner Gordon stated that there aze three altematives defined for further analysis in the Midway Area: LRT on I-94; LRT on University Avenue and Busway on TJniversity Avenue. The Committee found that the set of three was adequate. The two LRT proposals cusently deSned £or downtown include: a Cedar/4th Street altemative terminating in the Union Depot; a 7ackson, Sibley and 4`� Streets alternative temunating in the Entertainment DistricT. Commissioner Gordon stated the Comprehensive Planning Committee fluuks there ought to be iwo additional altematives studied; Altemarives B and C as included in today's packet. Altemative B brings the line down St. Peter Street, on the West side of the downtown core area, down to the Entertainment District, then east along 4`�' Street to the Union Depot, continues on to Williams Hill and Lafayette Pazk via the rail cotridor and west on University Avenue to Regions Hospital. Altemative C uses Robert Street down the central part of the dorvntown core azea and goes west on 4�' Sireet to the Entertainment District. � Mr. Allen Lovejoy, City Planner, stated that in 1999 the Plamung Commission recommended that a two way LRT system connecting downYown to the University of Minuesota and downtown Minneapolis can be accommodated well within the elcisting University Avenue right-of-way. The Comtnission also stated that LRT would likely make a very positive contribution to improvement . and development goals for University Avenue; and that the disruption of businesses on the Avenue can be kept to a tolerable minimum -- a key issue to the Plazuilng Commission. The Commission aiso stated that the City should play an active role in timely approval of the EIS. Mr. Lovejoy stated tl�at there have been major developments downtown since the last LRT study in the early 1990s. Most important is the emergence of the Entertainment District, which will attract 4-5 million visitors a year. He stated that decisions on LRT must recognize that change by directly serving the Entertainment District. e visitors and e lo ees of downtown. Those criteria include an"Office Core" station, an Entertainment District station, and a Lowertown station. Further, stations should be designed with historical and azclutectural chazacter, avoid impacting major street connections to the Interstate System and Shepazd/Wamer Road, and minimize use of major traffic stzeets. Mr. Lovejoy showed maps of all downtown Altematives. He stated Fourth Street was the most practical thtu East/West street to use due to traffic constraints. He touched on the three Alternatives that aze being looked at in the Midway. Mr. Lovejoy reported the Comprehensive Planning Committee tallced about the two downtown altematives previously discussed.

The cunent resoluti� � creteria thaE mvst be met to accommodate the visitors and employees of downTrnvn. Those criteria incfude an "O£fice Care" station, an Entertainment District station, and a Lawertown station. Further, stations should be designed with historical and azchitectural character, avoid impacting major street connections to the Interstate System and Shepazd/Wamer Road, and m;n;,,,;ze use of major traffic streets. • Mr. Lovejoy showed maps of all downtown Altematives. He stated Fourth Street was the most practical thru East/West street to use due to traffic constraints. He touched on the three Altematives that ue being looked at in the Midway. � Mr. Lovejoy reported the Comprehensive Planning Committee tallced about the two downtown altematives previously discussed. He then apologized for making last minute staff recommendations, and described a third potential altemative: Altemative A: easrivard on University � 4 � �� • Avenue, north of the Capitol, to the eastem end of the Avenue at Lafayette Road, then using the rail corridor to connect up with Prince Street east of Diamond Products, then west on 4`� Street to the Entertainment District. This altemative would avoid the problems of using St. Peter Street while meeting all the criteria outlined in the resolution. He stated tbat this altemative aiso seemed to meet the spirit of the Committee discussions. MOTION: Conv�rissioner Gordon mmed approval ofAlternateA submitted by PED staff today and Attachments B and C in the resolution from the document of July 3, 2001. Commusioner Kramer seconded the motion. Commissioner Dandrea asked Mr. Lovejoy about urility relocation. Mr. Lovejoy stated there a lot of utilities in Fourth Street and St. Peter Streets. There ue very few utilities in the middle of University Avenue west of Westem. He stated the staff didn't know what the utility impacts were for Altematives A and B along University Avenue and Prince Street or for Alternative C on Robert Street from University Avenue to 4�' Street. In response to a station location question Mr. Lovejoy discussed the station platforms in relation to the length of the city blocks and placement of stations. Downtown blocks are often 300 feet squaze and LRT stations need 300 feet for three-car LRT trains. This means tt�at many blocks aze too small to accommodate the three-caz stations. He stated that three-caz versus two-caz trains might be the topic of further LRT discussions as the EIS proceeds. The motion carried unanimously on a voice vote � VI.

The properry has been used for auto related uses since at least 1954 and is across Ford Parkway from a newly reconstructed SuperAmerica auto service station.

Furthermore, because the site has been vacant for some time, the new facility would represent the elimination of a blighting influence on a heavily travelad comer. 3. The property is currenUy zoned B-2 and is contiguous to OS-1, RM-2 and R-3 zoning districts. As such, rezoning would not result in a spot wning, but, rather, the ldnd of fine- grained zoning that is appropriafe for a xnajor transportation corridor. 4.

Sincerely, • �c��. ��'�'�.-._-° Nancy Homans CiTy Planner Attachments cc: City Council members ol-�c� � file number 01-5$ date Suly 13 Zooi city ofi saint paul planning commission resolution WHEREAS, Alcorn, Inc., File #01-209-L163, has applied 4or a Rezoning fcom B-2 to B-3 under the provisions of §64.400 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, to allow the construction of an auto repair station on property located at 1581 Ford Par{cway, legally described as Subject to Ford Parkway, Lots 26, 27, and 28, Biock 4, tiardenbergh Addition, Ramsey County, Minnesota; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, on July 5, 2001, held a public hearing at which all persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of §64.300 of the Saint Paul Legisiative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning Committee at the pubiic hearing as substantialiy refiected in the minutes, made the following findings of fact: • 1. The appiicant proposes to demolish an existing vacant auto service staiion and construct a new seven-bay 4661 square foot auto repair station with parking spaces for 27 cars. A concurrent application for a special condition use permit and setback variance has also been filed. 2. The property has been used for auto related uses since at least 1954 and is across Ford Parkway from a newly reconstructed SuperAmerica auto service station. As such, the establishment of a new auto repair use is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the fuiiy developed surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, because the site has been vacant for some time, the new facility would represent the elimination of a blighting influence on a heavily traveled corner. 3. The property is currentiy zoned B-2 and is contiguous to OS-1, RM-2 and R-3 zoning districts. As such, rezoning would not result in a spot zoning, but, rather, the kind of fine-grained zoning that is appropriate for a major transportation corridor. 4. The use is not inconsistent with the provisions of the comprehensive pian. moved by Field seconded by r . ir� favor Unanimous • against Zoning File #01-209-063 Planning Commission Resolution Page 2 5.

The Commission aiso stated that the City should play an active role in timely approval of the EIS. Mr. Lovejoy stated tl�at there have been major developments downtown since the last LRT study in the early 1990s. Most important is the emergence of the Entertainment District, which will attract 4-5 million visitors a year. He stated that decisions on LRT must recognize that change by directly serving the Entertainment District. e visitors and e lo ees of downtown. Those criteria include an"Office Core" station, an Entertainment District station, and a Lowertown station. Further, stations should be designed with historical and azclutectural chazacter, avoid impacting major street connections to the Interstate System and Shepazd/Wamer Road, and minimize use of major traffic stzeets. Mr. Lovejoy showed maps of all downtown Altematives. He stated Fourth Street was the most practical thtu East/West street to use due to traffic constraints.

He then apologized for making last minute staff recommendations, and described a third potential altemative: Altemative A: easrivard on University � 4 � �� • Avenue, north of the Capitol, to the eastem end of the Avenue at Lafayette Road, then using the rail corridor to connect up with Prince Street east of Diamond Products, then west on 4`� Street to the Entertainment District. This altemative would avoid the problems of using St. Peter Street while meeting all the criteria outlined in the resolution. He stated tbat this altemative aiso seemed to meet the spirit of the Committee discussions. MOTION: Conv�rissioner Gordon mmed approval ofAlternateA submitted by PED staff today and Attachments B and C in the resolution from the document of July 3, 2001. Commusioner Kramer seconded the motion. Commissioner Dandrea asked Mr. Lovejoy about urility relocation. Mr. Lovejoy stated there a lot of utilities in Fourth Street and St. Peter Streets. There ue very few utilities in the middle of University Avenue west of Westem. He stated the staff didn't know what the utility impacts were for Altematives A and B along University Avenue and Prince Street or for Alternative C on Robert Street from University Avenue to 4�' Street. In response to a station location question Mr. Lovejoy discussed the station platforms in relation to the length of the city blocks and placement of stations. Downtown blocks are often 300 feet squaze and LRT stations need 300 feet for three-car LRT trains. This means tt�at many blocks aze too small to accommodate the three-caz stations. He stated that three-caz versus two-caz trains might be the topic of further LRT discussions as the EIS proceeds. The motion carried unanimously on a voice vote � VI.

LOCATION: 1581 Ford Pazkway, between Snelling and Macalester 4. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Subject to Ford Pazkway, Lots 26, 27, and 28, Block 4, Hardenbergh Addition, Ranisey County, Nlinnesota 5.

DATE RECEIVED: May 24, 2001 PRESENT ZOIVING: B-2 BY: Nancy Homans DEADLINE FOR ACTION: 7uly 23, 2001 A. • B. C. PURPOSE: Rezone from B-2 to B-3 to allow for the construction of an auto repair station. PARCEL SIZE: 13825 x 111.19 = 15,372 sq. ft. EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant auto secvice center D. SURRGUNDING LAND USE: North: Office and single family residential, zoned OS-1 and R-3 South: Auto service station, zoned B-2 East: Highland Park, zoned R-1 West: Multiple family residential, zoned RM-2 E. ZONING CODE CITATION: Sec. 64.400 of the zoning code provides for amendment of the district boundaries. F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: A pemut for a filling station operated by SocconVacuum Oil Company was approved in August 1954. A major variance was approved in May 1994 reducing the tequired setback for a canopy over the fueltanks. G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: A recommendation had not been received at the time this staff report was prepared. � H. FINDTNGS: 1. The applicant proposes to demolish an existing vacant auto service station and constmct a new seven-bay 4661 squaze foot auto repair station with parking spaces for 27 cars. A concurrent application for a special condition use permit and setback variance has also been filed. Zoning File #O1-209-063 Page two 2. The properry has been used for auto related uses since at least 1954 and is across Ford Parkway from a newly reconstructed SuperAmerica auto service station. As such, the establishmern of a new auto repair use is unlikely to have an adverse impact oa the fully developed surrounding neighborhood. Furthermore, because the site has been vacant for some time, the new facility would represent the elimination of a blighting influence on a heavily travelad comer. 3. The property is currenUy zoned B-2 and is contiguous to OS-1, RM-2 and R-3 zoning districts. As such, rezoning would not result in a spot wning, but, rather, the ldnd of fine- grained zoning that is appropriafe for a xnajor transportation corridor. 4. The use is not inconsistent with the provisions of the comprehensive plan. 5. The code provides that an application for rezoning must be accompanied by a conse� petition of the owners of two thirds of the properties withui 100 feet of the property to be rezoned. Eight signatures were req�ired. Eight were received. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning of 1581 Ford Pazkway from B-2 to B-3. • • � Zoning File #O1-209-063 Page two � �—�c�( 2.
