RAMSEY'S ADDlTION TO THE CITY OF ST. PAUL EX AVE LOT 14 BLK 11; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission, on September 11, 2008, heid a public hearing at which ail persons present were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to said application in accordance with the requirements of � 61.303 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Planning Commission, based on the evidence presented to its Zoning Committee at the pubiic hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes, made the fo�lowing findings of fact: 1. The applicant is seeking to rezone the property from OS OfficeService to B2 Community Business in order to accommodate a catering business. Cafering is not a permitted use in the OS district, and is first ailowed in the 62 and TN2 districts. If the rezoning is granted, the catering business will operate on the first floor of theexisting building and the residenfial unit will remain on the second floor. 2. 7he proposed 62 Community Business zo�ing is consistent with tte way Selby Avenue has developed. This part of Selby Avenue was zoned as a general commercial.district for-rt�ostof its history, from 1922 to 1975, and is characterized by a mixture of residential and commercial uses with commercial uses generally concentrated at the intersections. 3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing building on the site, a twostory building built in 1912 with commercial space on the first floor and a residential flat on the second floor. A sampling of Polk Directories between 1955 and 1989 fist the property as a commercial use (often a grocery store) and an individual's name (dten the grocery store owner) as the occ�pant of the second floor. The most recent use of the first floor was as a dental office. 4. The proposed zoning is consistent with the City Comprehensive Pfan. The proposed land use , map in the Sefby Avenue SmallArea Plan, adopted by the City Councif in 1997, indicates that the property shouid be a business use. One of the strategies listed in the plan states that "Selby Avenue should remain a mixed use street of residential and business uses" (p. 2). The summary addendum to the Comprehensive Pian that incorporates the Lexingtor�Hamline Small Area Plan and the LexingtorrHamline Tomorrow P�an (2001) lists having "thriving, attractive residential areas and neighborhood businesses" as one of its values (p. 1). moved by Morton seconded by �n favor Unanimous against Zoning File # 08-14��40 Pianning Commission Resolution Page 2 of 2 • One of the Ten Principles for City Development in the Saint Paul Comprehensive Pfan is to - ___ ____ "Broaden the mix of land uses...Residence, work and culturai opportunities in close proximify can reduce travel casts and enrich community tife° (principle 4, p.11). AddiGonatly, the Land Use and Housing chapter policies support: "com.patible mixed use within single buildings and in separate buildings in close proximity" (p.15). . The Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan identifies this segment of S�by as a collector street, and a 2007 Truck Routes and Parkways map indicafes that this segment of Selby is a designated truck roufe. !n addftion, the property is Iocafed along Mefro TransiYs #21 bus route, a major, high frequency route running between Sant Paul and Minneapolis. This location along Selby Avenue is appropriate for a mix of commercial and residential uses. 5. The proposed catering business is a reasonable use of this property/at this location not ailowed under the current OS Offic�Service zoning. 6. Corrtinued use of fhis mixed-use commercial-residentiaf building for fhe fypes of uses aflowed under the proposed 62 Community Business zoning would not be defrimental to the surrounding community. In addition to the limifs imposed under theB2 zone, the size of the lot and constraints on off-street parkfng would limit the types and size of businesses on the lot, and limit impact on the surrounding community. 7. Coart nllings hava defermined that "spot zoning" is illegal in Minnesofa. Minnes�a courts have sta#ed that this term °applies to zoning changes, typically limited to small plofs of land, which � estabiish a use Gass�cation inconsistent with the surrounding uses and creates an rsland of nonconforming use wifhin a larger zoned district and which dramatically reduce the vafue for erses specified in the zoning ordinance of either the rezoned plot or abutting property.'The property is now, and has atways been, a wmmercial property. The proposed 62 zoning is consistent with the way SelbyAvenue has developed and contributes to the mixed residential and commercial character of the area. It would not dramatically reduce the value for uses specified in the zoning ordinance of either the rezoned plot or abutting property, and is not spot zomig. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, fhat the Saint Paul Planning Gommission, recommends to City Council, that the application ofGreg Jones and Portia Bunkerfor a Rezoning from OS Office- Service to B2 Community Business for properfy at 1278 Selby Ave be approved. • � 08-1aI0 � Saint Paul Planning Commission City Hall Conference Center 15 Kellogg Boulevard West Minutes September 19, 2008 A meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of Saint Paul was held Friday, September 19, 2008, at 8:30 a.m. in the Conference Center of City Hall.

(Donna Dru»unond, 651266-6556 and Lucy Thampson, 651266-6578) Lucy Thompson, PED staff, explained that in June the City Council adopted a resoluUOn asking the Planning Commission to consider extending the Centra] Corridor Overlay Zoning District to Westem, Victoria and Hamline. LRT stations aze identified for construcuon at some point in the future at these three intersections. The Met Council Municipal Consent decision says if money becomes available in this first phase of funding, that building out one of these three stations during the inival consuuction period will be a priority. If funding does become available for just one station, no decision or decision process has yet been established to say which of the three would go first. But since the City anticipates that all three will eventually be completed as LRT stops, it is right to extend the overlay zoning regulations to cover al] three azeas. Ms. Thompson continued. At the Planning Commissiods public hearing, there were three speakers and all of them were in favor of extending the overlay zoning distcict. There was also an email from Benita Warns, an active Midway neighborhood resident, in opposition to extending the overlay zoning district. Due to a computer mix-up, her email reached City staff ]ate; that is why it is being distributed now. Ms. Wam's primary concem is about neighborhood parking. Ms. Thompson concluded, saying there aze ttuee reasons why staff and the Neighborhood Planning Committee recommend the extension of the overlay zoning: First, there are some short • l� � term development opportuniries at Western and Hamline, and the City wants to work with any developers there to make sure they are working towards iransit oriented development. Second, it is important to continue to make clear the City's support for eventual constrvcrion of these three stations and putting these zoning requirements into place will do that. Third, tfie overlay zoning — - -- - for these locafions is consistent with the Central Corridor Development Shategy, which was adopted as a chapter of the Comprehensive Plan last yeaz.

She also stated that she owned the catering business and it is not a franchise. No one spoke in support. Amy Larson, 1277 Hague Ave., stated she was in opposition to the rezoning and had reservations pertaining to garbage, traffic, noise, and smelis.

ZONING CODE CITATION: § 66.421 lists uses permitted in a B2 zoning district; § 61.801(b) provides for changes to the zoning of property initiated by the property owner. F. HISTORYIDISCUSSION: Prior to the new zoning code in 1975, this stretch of Selby Avenue was zoned as a general commercial district. When the city adopfed a new zoning code in 1975, the property was zoned RT1 Two-Family Residential. The property was rezoned to OS Office- Service as part of a 40 acre study done along with the Selby Avenue Small Area Plan in 1997. G. DISTI2lCT COt1NCIL RECOIWMENDATIOtV: District 13 had not commented at the time this staff report was prepared. . H. FINDINGS: T. The applicant is seeking to rezone the property from OS Office-Service to B2 Community Business in order to accommodate a catering business. Catering is not a permitted use in the OS district, and is first allowed in the B2 and TN2 districts. If the rezoning is granted, the catering business will operate on the first floor of the existing building and the residential unit will remain on the second floor. 2. The proposed 62 Community Business zoning is consistent with the way Selby Avenue has developed. This part of Selby Avenue was zoned as a general commercial district for most of its history, from 1922 to 1975, and is characterized by a mixture of residential and commercial uses with commercial uses generally concentrated at the intersections. - 3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing building on the site, a two-story building builf in 1912 wifh commercial space on the first floor and a residential flaf on fhe second floor. A sampiing of Polk Directories between 1955 and 1989 list the property as a commercial use (often a grocery store) and an individual's name (often the grocery store owner) as the occupant of the second floor. The most recent use of the first floor was as a dental office. 4. The proposed zoning is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan. The proposed land use map in the Selby Avenue Small Area Plan, adopted by the City Council in 1997, indicates that � • C� � Zdning File # 08-140-64Q Zoning Committee Staff Report • Page 2 a� - �� rv fhe property should be a business use. One of the sfrategies listed in the plan states that "Selby Avenue shouid remain a mixed use street of residentiai and business uses" (p. 2). The summary addendum to the Comprehensive Plart that incorporates the Lexington-Flamline Smaif Area Plan and the Lexington-Hamline Tomorrow Plan (2001) lists having "thriving, attractive residential areas and neighborhood businesses° as one of its values (p. 1). One of the Ten Principles for City Development in the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan is to "Broaden the mix of land uses... Residence, work and cultural opportunities in close proximity can reduce travel costs and enrich community life" (principle 4, p. 11). Additionally, the Land Use and Housing chapter policies support: "compatible mixed use within single buildings and in separate buildings in close proximity" (p.15). The Transportation chapter of the Comprehensive Plan identifies this segment of Selby as a coliector street, and a 2007 Truck Routes and Parkways map indicates that this segment of Selby is a designated truck route. In addition, the property is located along Metro Transit's #21 bus route, a major, high frequency route running betv✓een Saint Paul and Minneapolis. This location along Selby Avenue is appropriate for a mix of commercial and residential uses. 5. The proposed catering business is a reasonable use of this property/at this location not allowed under the current OS O�ce-Service zoning. 6. Continued use of this mixed-use commercial-residential building for the types of uses allowed under the proposed 62 Community Business zoning would not be detrimental to the surrounding community. In addition to the iimits imposed under the 62 zone, the size of the • lot and constraints on off-street parking would limit the types and size of businesses on the lot, and limit impact on the surrounding community. 7. Court rulings have determined that "spot zoning" is illegal in Minnesota. Minnesota courts have stated that this term "applies to zoning changes, typically limrted to small plots of land, which establish a use classification rnconsistenf with the surrounding uses and creates an is/and of nonconforming use within a larger zoned drstrict, and which dramaticai/y reduce the va/ue for uses specified in fhe zoning ordinance of eifher the rezoned ptot or abutfing property."The property is now, and has always been, a commercial property. The proposed 62 zoning is consistent with the way Selby Avenue has developed and contributes to the mixed residential and commercial character of the area. It would not dramaticaily reduce the value for uses speci�ed in the zoniFlg ordinance of either the rezoned piot or abutting property, and is not spot zoning. I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of the rezoning from OS Office-Service to 62 Community Business at 1278 Selby Avenue. • �� PETITiON TO QMEND THE ZONING CODE Department af Planning and Ecorzomic Developmerzt Zoning Seciion 1400 City Hall Annex ZS West Founh Street Saint Paul, MN55 1 02-1634 (65I) 266-6589 Property 0 APPLICANT PROPIILTY LOCATION rJ tcU�i Contact Person ('d' i - T�H �ngD - --- � • 5 SY3 % Daylime Phone �9� i 3.

The Execuuve Committee of the Boazd took up this matter due to the fact that the full District Council board will not be mea}ang unYil affer the hearing on this rezone proposal. The vote was five in favor, none opposed, one abstention. In its considerarion of the request, the Executive Committee (along with our staffl solicited � opinions from several nearby residents. The comments we received suggested support for both the new business moving into this address and the rezoning proposal. We also considered the staff report prepazed by your office, which pointed out that the proposed rezoning is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan and the histarical use of the building. For these reasons we recommend granUng the rezoning request. However, in the past two days we have leamed of a number of residents who have concerns about this zoning change. These residents have raised issues of potential conflicts with the neighboring residential properties and the lack Qf general notification of the neighbors of the affected property. We take these concerns seriously. Although we have already voted ko recommend approval of the zoning change, we will monitor the public hearing process and will continue to solicit input from tesidents. The Union Park bistrict Council reserves the right to reconsider our position on this issue. Please feel free to contact me (651 208 4543) with any quesdons or concems.

My understanding of the conditions, under which the zoning change is being considered, is from the Oc[ober 7 Villager article by Janet McClure and the flier prepared by Chip Pearson, a neighborhood resident. I� the zaning review process 7 beliave a zoning cl�ange should be constdered in fhe context of the cunent owner's proposed use of the property. In addition it should be recognized that a zoning change wouId provide the current owner with a property vaIue increase. As such it is an indirect payment by the city to the current owner. At this time there is no information that a development plan for improvements to the properry was submitted to the city. My understanding is that the current owners do not intend wi13 not be ❑sing the property. If there is an undersTanding oP action on part of the current owner, it should be part of this hearing. The Villager article reports that there is a proposed purchaser of ihe praperty whose described use for the properry seems to be impetus for the property's zoning modification. Tha use described in the article is consistent wiEh the level of activify at this properiy previously. It strikes me that for this descriptio�t, the property should be under review for a conditionat use permit. In eonclusion I have no information thaf justifies granTing a zoning change for a property with its accompanying financial gain for an apparently transitional awner. However, the available description oP the use by the proposed purchaser of the property is reasonable grounds for considering a conditional use permit. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to the council hearing. Sincerel / t a�„/�- / j`'j - J�.z�F'.�C.1L.� L. LG�¢, Pau! M. Bakke, P.E.
