PAUI THE W 17 FT OF LOT 3& ALL OF LOT4 IN BLOCK 3; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee ofthe Planning Commission, on February 15, 2007, held a public hearing at which all persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant fo said application in accordance with the requirements of §64.300 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the eudence presented to its Zoning Committee atthe public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the following findings of fact_ The applicant is proposing to purchase the eastem portion of this site from the Housing and Redevelopment Authority and construct 8 ownership townhouse units. Four units located along Selby Ave. will include commercial space on the first floor (live-work units). Four units located at the rear of the site will be constructed by Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. This project cannot be constructed under the existing B2 zoning. The proposed zoning is consistent with the way this area has developed. This block of Selby Avenue contains a mix of residential and commercial uses. The intent of the TN1 district is "to provide for ... mixed-use areas of limited size...that primarily serve neighborhood needs. It is also intended to serve as a transitional use of land along majorthoroughfares, between commercial ...districts and residentiaf districts....° Rezoning this property from B2 fo TN1 is consistent with creating a transition between the retaii use on the comer and the residential uses west of this relatively small site. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Housing Chapterof the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 5.2 states: Promote good design solutions for housing that meets newer market needs and complements existing Saint Paul neighboihoods, designs thaf use the smaller development sites creafively and that provide fo�housing in mixed-use neighborhood centers. The Selby Avenue Small Area Plan (1997) states that ...requests for rezoning should 6 granted or denied based on a determination of whether or not the proposed residential or business development will improve the mixed use character of Se/by Avenue. The proposed live/work units permitted under TN 1 zoning will improve the mixed use character of Selby. � 2. 3. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Saint Paui Planning Commission, �ecommends to City Council, that the application of Selby Area Community Development Corporation, Inc for a rezoning from H2 (Communify Business) to TN1 (Traditional Neighbofiood) for property at 940 Selby Ave be approved. moved by Morton seconded by � in favor Unanimous � against o�-��-� i Saint Panl Planning Commission City HaIl Conference Center �: i�nt; ,.,. ;i,...� � -�j ls�� ' Minutes February 23, 2007 � � A meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul was held Friday, February 23, 2007, at 8:30 a.m. in the Conference Center of City Hall.

The Neighborhood issues Committee of the Planning Council heid a pubtic meeting on this issue on January 16, 2007. Prior to the meeting, the Councii distributed fliers to the residents surrounding the proposed developm2nt, as weli as posting the meeting on our Web site and distributing over 300 emaiis to neighbors. We had several neighbors attend that meeting, many expressing questions and concerns about the project scope, the parking impact on the neighborhood, design questions and more. Representatives from the Seiby Area CDC provided in depth information and those present expressed support for the project by the end of the meeting. This information was forwarded to the Summit-University Planning Council Board of Directors meeting on January 23. The full Board heard from Art Weddington at the Seiby Area CDC regarding this project, and we noted the inciusion of the cail for Live/Work housing in the Summit-U Comprehensive Pian. After discussion, the Board voted to support this project without objection. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Please let me kndw if you have any questions.

My husband and I live in the neighborhood at 912 Hague Ave. and recently attended fhe public hearing on Selby Area CDC's proposed project between Chatsworth and Milton. We are fully in favor of adding additional well-designed units to �ti;� tii�� ±har ?�o ?ff�,r��bly oriced to meet the needs of a range of low-and moderate income individuals that wish to become homeowners. We are in favor of rezoning from 82 to TN1 as well as the proposed parking variance and side yard setback variance. We continue to encourage development along Selby Avenue that will bring additional homeownership and affordable rentai opportunities to the community as these residents will in turn patronize and support small business along the Avenue and throughout St. Paul. Increasing the density of the Avenue and encouraging transft use is important to us as residents of this micro-community and the wider City of St. Paul. We applaud any project that combines a commitment to providing well-designed affordable housing with an opportunity to link residents to efificient transit Iines, in this case the 21 line of MeVo Transit (or bike and pedestrian options which are numerous throughout the neighborhood). Thank you for notiifying residents of this opportunity to provide comments, and please don't hesitate to confact us. Sincerely, Devon M. Pohiman David C.

After a public hearing by the Saint Paul Piannir.g Commission's Zoning Committee on February 15, 2007, the Commission voted to recommend approval recommended of your request on Feb 23, 2007. ` The Planning Commission's recommendation is being forwarded to the Cify Council for their action. Ninnesota Statutes 15.99 requires that ail city action on zoning applications be compieted within 60 days of the date the application is made, but allows the City to extend this period for an additional 60 days (total of 120 days). in order to accommodate the City Council public hearing on your rezoning, which is also required by state law, the City of Saint Paul is hereby extending the deadline for action from March 26, 2007 (original 60 day deadline) to May 25, 2007 (additional 60 day deadline). The City Council public hearing on this rezoning has been scheduled for April 18, 2007. At this fime it appears that City Council action will occur before the extended deadline for action.

The intent of the TN1 district is "to provide for ... mixed-use areas of limited size...that primarily serve neighborhood needs. It is also intended to serve as a transitional use of land along major thoroughfares, between commercial ...districts and residential districts...." Rezoning this property from B2 to TN1 is consistent with creating a transition between the retail use on the corner and the residenfial uses west of this relatively small site. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. Policy 5.2 states: Promote good design solutions for housing that meets newer market needs and compiements existing Saint Paul neighborhoods, designs that use fhe smaller devetopment sites creatively and that provide for housing in mixed-use neighborhood centers. The Selby Avenue Smali Area Plan (1997) states that Z. F. # 07-013-828 0 � �� Zoning Commiftee Staff Report Page 2 of 2 ...requests fro rezoning should b granted or denied based on a determination of whether � or not the proposed residential or business development will improve the mixed use characterofSefbyAvenue. The proposed livelwork units permitted underTN1 zoning will improve the mixed use character of Selby. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of the rezoning from B2 (Community Business) to TN1 (Traditional Neighborhood). � � � PETIT[ON TO AMEND THE ZONING CODE � j Deparhnent ofPlanning and Economic Development Zoning Section 1400 City Hall Arznex - - - 25 West FnuRh Street Saint Pau1, !Y1N 551 02-1 634 (65I) 266-6589 � o�-��-� PropertyOwner Seiby Area Cor.m,iuni�y Developmea� Corporation Address 626 Selby Aveaue ' APPLICANT C ��, St. ?aul St. MN Zi 55104 p DaytimePhone 6�291-7204 ^ontacf Person (ifdifferent) Lisa Kugler �� 6i2 - o2 7-2189 I Address/Location 930 and 940 Selby Avenue PROPERTY LOCATION LegalDescription west 17 feet of Lot 3 and all of Lot 4(HRA Owned) and Lot 5(SACDC owned} , all in CurrentZoning B 2 (attach addifional sheet if necessary) alock 3, Smitn & 2aylor� s Addition TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL: Pursuant to Section 61.800 of the Saint Paul Zoning Ordinance and to Section 462.357(5) of Minnesota Statues, Selby Area Community Dev' t C orp . , owner of land proposed for rezoning, hereby petitions you to f Mezone the above described property from a B 2 zoning district to a TN 1 zoning district, for!he purpose of: building 8 ownership townhouses; 4 units to be built by Habitat for Humanity and 4 Live/WOrk units facing Selby Avenue to include a 400 square foot store£ront space, intended for commercial use. r�� ,-, / '��, LAURA L.
