� planning commission resolution
file number 10-33
date April9 2010
WHEREAS, Jim and Michael Johnsen, File # 10-121-038, have applied for a rezoning portions of
parcels at 260 Clarence and 1365 Bums from R4 One Family Residential to B2 Community Business
under the provisions of §61.801(b) of the Saint Paul Legislative Code, on property located at Parcel
identification Number (P1N) 34292233D034, legally described as Kamnetz Add Lots 11 And Lot 12
(260 Clarence Ave); and a portion of Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 342922330030, Iegally
described as Kamnetz Add Lots 17 And Lot 18 (1365 Burns Ave);
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, on April 1, 2010, 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 §61.303 of the Saint Paui Legisiative Code; and
WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning
Committee at the pubiic hearing as substantially refifected in the minutes, made the following findings
of fact:
1. The applicants, Jim Johnsen (and son Michael Johnsen) seek to rezone portions of fheir
residential properties at 1365 Burns and 260 Clarence (respectively) from R4 to B2, after
these portions of their residential lots are combined with the property at 1347 Burns Ave via a
pending lot split.
� 2. A proposed building expansion at 1347 Burns Avenue will include additional kitchen area,
cooler-freezer space, as we{I as additional dry storage area, and wilf be approximately 681
square feet in size, according to a site concept plan dated February 23, 2010. As the seating
capacity of the restaurant will not change with the proposed building expansion, the applicant
requests a variance (Z.F. #10-121-081) along with this rezoning application to not provide
any of the required additional 20 off-street parking spaces associated with the expansion.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the way this area has developed. The property has
long been used for commercial purposes, and has unde�gone several buiiding improvements
and minor expansions over time. The proposed B2 zoning allows for the continued use of
the property as a bar/restaurant amidst an established low density residential area,
consistent with the way the area has developed.
4. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The District 4 Dayton's
Bluff Area Plan. Summary, approved in December 2009, promotes the reuse, instead of
demolition, of existing commercial buildings, and opposes expansion of existing surface
parking lots. While the existing bar/restaurant building will continue to be used, the small
expansion proposed at the rear of the property (east side) will be visually inconspicuous.
Consistent with the District 4 Plan, the existing surface }ot will not be expanded (no new
spaces added) beyond the re-construction of fhe driveway. The Land Use Chapter of the
Comprehensive Pian, adopted in 2010, designates the properties at 260 Clarence and 1365

" Bums Avenue as "Established Neighborhood," a future land use category described as _
consisfing of mainly of one and two-family residential uses, but also including scattered
neighborhood-serving commercial, service and insfitutionat uses at the juncture of arterial
and collector streets.° The small additions to the Obb's Bar property (a neighborhood-
serving commercial use) fix a historical property.line discrepancy on the north side of the
property, and atlow for the kitchen/storage area building addition on the east side of the
property.
5. The proposed B2 zoning is compatible with the existing B2 zoning at both1347 Bums Avenue
(Obb's Bar) and 243 Point Douglas Road t�! (property located across the street).
6. Court rulings have determined that "spot zoning° is illegal in Minnesota: Minnesota courts
have stated that this term °appfies to zoning changes, fypically limited to small plots of land,
which establish a use classification inconsisfent with the surrounding uses and creates an
island of nonconforming use within a largerzoned districf, and which drarnatically reduce fhe
value for uses spec�ed in the zoning ordinance of either the rezoned plot or abutfing
� properfy.° The proposed rezoning to 62 of two small areas adjacent to the existing Obb's Bar
propefij does not establish a use class�cation any different from uses permitted by the
existing of the B2-zoned Obb's Bar property. The two small a�eas will be combined with the
property at 1347 Burns via a pending lot spiit.
6. The petition for rezoning was found to be suffcient on March 1, 2010 (1365 Bums) and .
March 15, 2010 (260 Clarence): 19 parcels eligible; 13 parcels required; 14 parcels signed
(for 1365 Bums); 13 parcels signed (for 260 Clarence).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Saint Paul Pianning Commission, recommends fo
City Council, that the application of a rezonirtg of portions of parcels at 260 Clarence and 1365 Bums
from R4 One Family Residential to BZ Community Business. for properry at 260 Clarence St be
approved.

provided a history of uses at this commercial property (with which the pieces of residential
properties now proposed for rezoning will be combined via a pending lot split). Prior to
1933, the property at 1347 Burns was used a grocery store and owned by the applicant's
family. After the Prohibition era ended (1933), the property was used for "on sale liquor." tn
the late 1940s, the applicanYs family added a small kitchen, bathroom, and dining room, and
expanded it again to include a bar in the 1950s. The applicanYs family used the property as
a bar and grill until 1982, when they sold it; the property continued to operate as a bar and
grill after this time under different ownership. Mr. Johnsen purchased the property back in
2001, and has made interior/exterior renovations to it since then, adding an outdoor patio in
2004.
The proposed the lot split and this rezoning are driven by Mr. Johnsen's plans for a buiiding
expansion to the rear of the bar/restaurant building, on its eastem side. The applicant also
seeks variances (Z.F. #10-121-081) from §63.310(c) which requires entrances and exits to
and from parking facilities located in districts other RL-RT2 residential districts to be 25 feet
from any adjoining property in RL-RT2 districts, and from providing new off-street parking.
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: The Dayton's Bluff District 4 Community
Councii has provided a written recommendation of support of this application.
H. FINDINGS:
1. The applicants, Jim Johnsen (and son Michael Johnsen) seek to rezone portions of
their residential properties at 1365 Burns and 260 Clarence (respectively) from R4 to
Zoning File #10-121-038
Zoning Committee Staff Report
Page 2
B2, after these portions of their residential lots are combined with the property at 1347 .
Bums Ave via a pending lot split. .
2. The building expansion will include additional kitchen area, cooler-freezer space, as
well as additibnal dry storage area, and will be approximateiy 681 square feet in size,
according to a site concept pian dated February 23, 2010. As the seating capacity of
the restaurant will not change with the proposed building expansion, the applicant
requests a variance (Z.F. #10-121-081) along with this rezoning application to not
provide any of the required additional 20 off-street parking spaces associated with the
expansion.
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the way this area has developed. The property
has long been used for commercial purposes, and has undergone several building
improvements and minor expansions over time. Tf�e proposed B2 zo�ing allows for
the continued use of the property as a badrestaurant amidst an established low
density residential area, consistent with the way the area has devetoped.
4. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The District 4
Dayton's Bluff Area Plan Summary, approved in December 2009, promotes the reuse,
instead of demolition, of existing commercial buildings, and opposes expansion of
existing surface parking lots. While the existing bar/resfaurant buiiding will continue to
be used, the small expansion proposed at the rear of the property (east side) will be
visually inconspicuous. Consistent with the District 4 Pian, the existing surface lot will
not be expanded (no new spaces added) beyond the re-consfruction of the driveway.
The Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2010, designates the
prope�ties at 260 Clarence and 1365 Bums Avenue as "Established Neighborhood,° a .
future land use category described as consisting of mainly of one and two-family
residentiai uses, but also including scattered neighborhood-serving commercial,
service and institutional uses at the juncture of arterial and collector streets. The
small additions to the Obb's Bar property (a neighborhood-serving commercial use) fix
a historical property Iine discrepancy on the north side of the property, and allow for
the kitchen/storage area building addition on the east side of the property.
5. The proposed B2 zoning is compatible with the existing B2 zoning at both1347 8ums
Avenue (Obb's Bar) and 243 Point Douglas Road N(property located across the
street).
6. Court rutings have determined that "spot zoning" is illegat in Minnesota. Minnesota
courts have stated that this term °applies to zoning changes, typically limited to small
plots of land, which establish a use class�cation inconsistent with the surrounding
uses and creates an island of nonconforming use within a larger zoned district, and
which dramatically reduce the value for uses specified in the zoning ordinance of either
the rezoned plot or abulting property." The proposed rezoning to B2 of two small
areas adjacent to the existing Obb's Bar property does nof establish a use
classification any difFerent from uses permitted by the existing of the 62-zoned Obb's
Bar property. The two small areas will be combined with the property at 1347 Burns
via a pending lot spiit.
6. The petition for rezoning was found to be sufficient on March 1(1365 Bums) and
March 15 (260 Clarence): 19 parcels eligible; 13 parcels required; 14 parcels signed
(for 1365 8ums); 13 parcels signed (for 26Q Clarence).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommendsapproval ofi •
the rezoning of portio�s of parcels at 260 Clarence and 1365 Burns from R4 One Family
Residential to B2 Community Business. -
