Planning Commission, based on the evidance presanted fo its Zoning Comrriittse at the public hearing as substantially reflectecf in the minutes, made the fiotlowing findings of fact: , � The applicant, University Carieton, LlC proposes the developmenf of a multi-family residentiaf roject on the site of the former Johnson 8rothers Liquor warehouse complex. The subject property is a 6.2 acre site bounded by University Ave., Carieton St., Charles Rve., and Hampden Ave. 7he project would be done in two phases. Phase 1 would include the_rehabilitation of three nisioric warenouse ouiidings into i7 i uniis oT rentai housing. Phase 2 would include the construction of two new muiti-family buildings with approximately 184 additional units of rental housing. One of the Phase.2 buildings may include a smalt amount of retaii space. The Pfiase_2 buildings wouid include underground parking. The site currently includes three brick warehouses consfrucfed in the ear(y 20�' century, along with severa! mid-century and late-century additions that provide additional warehouse space and link the three origina! buildings. The proposed redevefopment will demolish aii but the arigina! fhrez brick bui(dings. The fhree o�iginal 6uifdings fo remain are considered contributing buildings to tha proposed University-Raymond historic disfricf. 2. The appiicant proposes to ehange the zaning of this property from C1 (Light lndustrial) to TN3 (Traditionai Neigh6orhood). The intent of fhe TN distriets is to support compact, pedestrian- oriented commerc�al and residential development that can support and increase iransit usage. The current zoning does nof permit multi-family residential buiidings or mixed commerciaf- rnoved by Ma=taR s�condec� by �� a�or IInanimous �. ' �� Planning Commission RescSufion Z.F.#05-059-134 Page 2 residential bui{dings where fess than 50% of fhe first floor is devofed to commercia( use. The proposed use, density and pedestrian-orientation of the deve{opment, and the use of underground parking for a portion of fhe required parking are consistent with TN3 guidelines. 3. The proposed redevelopment and zoning change are supported by the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan. The City's Land Use Plan and Housing P{an chapfers both support increased housing density and jobs a{ong fhe UniversityAve, corridor, taktng advantage of its status as the city's primary transit corridor. Also, the Raymond/Universify area (Raymond 1s one b(ock west of the project site) is identified as an "urban vi(lage redevelopment opportunity site" in the Land Use Plan: 4. T1�a area in front of the two-btock site has been te�tativefy identified as the locafion for a future light rail transit stop. The proposed development wilt locate apnroximately 355 new households in close proximfty to the planned stop, thereby contri6uting to the ridership base fior this p(anned transit improvement. 5. The proposed rezoning will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area. The proposed pro}ect and razoning are consistent with the existing mixed-use nature nf Ehe RaymondlUniversity area,_which includes retail, office,_ and residentia! uses. ln additior�, afthough the immediately adjacent biocks are zoned cammercial and industriaf, the Soutti St. Anthony Park residential neighborhood begins just one block to Ehe northwest of the project site. � � NOW, 7NEREFORE, BE fT RESOLVED, thaf the Sainf Paul Planning Commission, recommends to City Gouncil, that the appiscation of Lfniversity Carieton,.

One of the Phase 2 buiidings may include a small amount of retail space. The Phase 2 buildings would include underground parking. p5-�ai Zoning File #05-059-134 Zoning Committee Staff Report Page 2 3 2. 3. The site currently includes three brick warehouses constructed in the early 20"' century, along with several mid-century and late-century additions that provide additional warehouse space and Iink the three originai buildings. The proposed redevelopment wili demolish all but fhe originai three brick buildings. The three original buildings to remain are considered contributing buildings to the proposed University-Raymond historic district. The appiicant proposes fo change the zoning of this property from�l1 (Light Industrial) to TN3 (Traditional Pleighborhood). The intent of the TN districts is to support compact, pedestrian- oriented commerciai and residential development that can support and increase transit usage. The current zoning does not perm+t muiti-family residentiai buitdings or mixed commercial- residential buildings where less than 50% of the first floor is devoted to commercial use. The proposed use, density and pedestrian-orientation of the development, and the use of underground parking for a portion of the required parking are consistent with TN3 guidelines. The proposed redevelopment and zoning change are supported by the Saint Pau1 Comprehensive P�an. The City's Land Use Plan and Housing Plan chapters both support increased housing density and jobs along fhe University Ave. comdor, taking advantage of its status as the city's primary transit corridor. Also, the Raymond/University area (Raymond is one block west of the project site) is identified as an "urban viilage redevelopment opportunity site" in the Land Use Plan. 4. The area in front of the two-block site has been tentatively identified as the location for a future light raii transit stop. The proposed development will locafe approximately 355 new households in close proximity to the planned stop, thereby contributing to the ridership base for this planned transit improvement. 5. The proposed rezoning will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area. The proposed project and rezoning are consistent with the existing mixed-use nature of the Raymond/University area, which includes retail, office, and residential uses. In addition, although_the immediately adjacent blocks are zoned commercial and industriai, the South St. Anthony Park residential neighborhood begins just one block to the northwest of the project site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of the rezoning from 11 (Light Industrial) to TN3 (Traditional Neighborhood). \�.J r� L� � ��,i.... pET(TiON T4 AMENO TiiE 28N1!!ti CQa� Dep¢rhnent of Plaarting uad Ernnomic Devatopment 2oning Sedian 1400 Cdy XallAanas 25 Wct# Forcrd+Straet Suint pau1, MN 53IQZ-1634 (b5I} 266•6589 APPLiGANT PRQ��2TY Lfi:�A710�1 Prop�sty Oxrs+� Addr�ss Z Z cny S� ��` Contact Parsan {ff stM� LL G , � , Addreas i Lacat[o� Lag�l ��c�i!�tfon_ TO YNE kiONORASL� 141AYOR AND CRY COUNCIL: Phone Phane �+ Z- 37 3' �'II - �i 8 ,1,�ZS�TS l� 1s.G�s� t Zoning J— __!.r-- �aarauent to �cUon �a.4�D ot tha Snlr�t Paui Zoni�g Ordina�ce aad tu 3action 482.357(5) ot Minnesota Statuas, , o�rnsr ot land propoaad fo� res�Nng, herehy Rstn�ons you ta oe the above doscrlbed pro+peRy trom a �, __ tsning district to a"fN 3 aoning dlstrtct, sor the purpoae ot: Ni � �r� - �Nt�y �5 r� U.
