LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA OCTOBER 7, 2020 – 6:00 PM WEBEX Members Present: Jim Beneke, Lynette Dumalag, Imran Dagane, Matt Eckholm, Courtney Erwin, Jessica Kraft, Tom Weber Members Absent: None Staff Present: Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator 1. Call to Order – Roll Call 2. Approval of Minutes of Sept. 4, 2019 Commissioner Eckholm made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Dumalag, to approve the minutes of Sept. 4, 2019. The motion passed on a vote of 7-0. 3. Public Hearings A. Fence variance application – 1454 Texas Circle Location: 1454 Texas Circle Applicant: Jeb A. Meyers Case No.: 2-22-VAR Gary Morrison, assistant zoning administrator, presented the staff report. The applicant is requesting a fence variance at 1454 Texas Circle. This is a variance for a 6-foot fence and the allowed fence height is 4 feet maximum in the front yard. The house faces Texas Circle and the front yard faces Texas Avenue South. Mr. Morrison noted the applicant would like the 6-foot fence in the front yard area. A privacy fence currently is in place in the side yard and the applicant is looking to replace it and extend it into the front yard. He pointed out details within the staff report. Mr. Morrison stated that staff recommends adopting the resolution to deny the requested variance of a 6-foot fence. Chair Kraft opened the public hearing. 33 Unofficial Minutes Board of Zoning Appeals October 7, 2020 Page 2 There were no callers on the line. The applicant, Mr. Myers, stated staff has been helpful. He stated he has lived in St. Louis Park since 2007 adding it’s diverse and a great location in the Twin Cities. He stated he believes this corner lot incentivizes him to close his lot off. Mr. Myers stated he and his family want privacy, but they also want to be welcoming. He stated his house sits close to his adjoining neighbors with no privacy between homes. Mr. Myers stated this fence would also allow privacy from Texas Avenue, from cars driving fast on the very noisy street. This would allow his four children to play in the backyard with maximum safety. Mr. Myers noted examples along W. Franklin Ave. in St. Louis Park where variances have been granted, adding these lots are also irregular, as his is. He appreciates the opportunity to discuss this and wants to be sure the 2040 comp plan is in full effect. He added he would like to use 30% more of his yard by having the fence requested. Commissioner Weber clarified the fence location is okay, but the height is the issue. So, in the back of the back yard would be six feet, so why not do the fence at four feet in the area noted. Mr. Myers stated he is trying to go as high as he can and added his house is two feet higher on a slope, so this would allow for more privacy. Commissioner Weber asked if the goal is to have a bigger back yard or to have more privacy. Mr. Myers stated it is both and wanting the interior side yard to be expanded. He noted they would not put a gate in, so as to allow folks to come into their yard. Commissioner Weber asked Mr. Morrison if on Texas Avenue near the lot there is no sidewalk. Is there a plan to put sidewalks on that side of Texas and what effect would the sidewalk have on the lot with a four to six-foot fence? Mr. Morrison stated there are no additional sidewalk plans for Texas Avenue at this time. He stated if a sidewalk were to be put there, there would be no effect to the fence or lot. Mr. Morrison added Mr. Myers would not need to take out the fence either, if a sidewalk were added there. Commissioner Erwin asked if there are restrictions on vegetative plantings in the front yard. Mr. Morrison stated yes hedges are treated the same as fences, so hedges cannot exceed four feet in height. 44 Unofficial Minutes Board of Zoning Appeals October 7, 2020 Page 3 The Chair closed the public hearing. Commissioner Weber stated it seems like this is very close to a compromise and asked for Mr. Morrison’s and Mr. Myer’s thoughts here. Commissioner Dumalag asked for Commissioner Weber’s intent. Commissioner Weber stated he understands Mr. Myer’s thought process and asked if the fence can be four feet in the front so it meets code, or if the fence could be a different material, or five feet instead. Commissioner Dumalag stated she is generally in support of the application and is leaning toward approval of the variance. Commissioner Beneke added he also supports the variance and it is not out of scale. He asked if it might set a precedent and if there is any reason to reject it. Commissioner Eckholm stated he supports the staff recommendation to reject the variance because of concern for setting a precedent. He stated they need to be cautious of granting one-offs and he thinks it’s important to maintain the standards the city has set. Commissioner Dumalag asked if this is based on precedent, from a practical standpoint, would there be that many applications for this type of variance. She added however she does understand the concept of precedent here. Commissioner Eckholm stated there are many corner lots in the city, and this would set a precedent. Commissioner Weber agreed with Commissioner Eckholm and stated he would feel comfortable to reject the variance if he felt Mr. Myers would put in the four-foot fence, which would be acceptable. He stated he is sympathetic however. Commissioner Weber asked if the BOZA rejected the variance, could Mr. Myers still build the four-foot fence. Mr. Morrison stated the code would allow the four-foot fence in the front yard. Commissioner Weber asked if the tree root area in the backyard would somehow allow for the variance in order to make the yard more useable. Mr. Morrison stated usually a tree is not involved in considering the variance. 55 Unofficial Minutes Board of Zoning Appeals October 7, 2020 Page 4 Commissioner Dumalag asked if the applicant withdrew this request and then worked with staff on an alternative, what the next steps are. Mr. Morrison stated staff can work with Mr. Myers and rework the application, but it depends on the action of the BOZA. He added the motion would need to be very clear. Chair Kraft stated she would agree with Commissioner Dumalag and agree with the six- foot fence in this case. Commissioner Eckholm added if this variance could be made very specific, he would be more supportive of it. Commissioner Beneke stated he is sympathetic to the owner, but he is not happy about six-foot fences. He would hate to encourage too many of these within the city. Commissioner Weber asked would the fence be more allowable if it were see-through. Commissioner Erwin stated this could be a slippery slope that could be avoided by following the recommendations of staff. Commissioner Eckholm noted there are some types of plexi-glass fences, and added he would not support a six-foot chain link fence. He also has concerns about setting precedent with other applications in the future. Commissioner Erwin made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm, to deny the fence variance at 1454 Texas Circle as recommended by staff. The motion failed on a vote of 3-4 (Commissioners Kraft, Dumalag, Dagane, Weber opposed). Commissioner Weber made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Eckholm, to continue this BOZA meeting to October 21, 2020 and to give direction to staff to create a new resolution for BOZA to review on October 21st. The motion passed 7-0. 5. Other Business -none 6. Communications -none 7. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 7:04 p.m. 66 Board of zoning appeals: Regular meeting Meeting date: October 21, 2020 Agenda item: 3a 3a Variance for fence height in front yard Location: 1454 Texas Circle Case Number: 20-22-VAR Applicant/Owner: Jeb A. Myers Review Deadline: 60 days: November 7, 2020 120 days: January 6, 2021 Recommended motions: • No action required. Summary of request: The applicant, Jeb A. Myers, requested a variance to allow a fence located in the front yard to be six feet tall instead of the four feet maximum allowed in city code. The BOZA reviewed the application on October 7, 2020 and tabled consideration until October 21, 2020 with the request that staff work with the applicant to find a solution that will work for both the applicant and the city. Staff met with the applicant both decided it is in the best interest to pursue a text amendment that would allow a six-foot tall fence to be constructed in a situation described by the applicant. This would allow all properties in similar situations throughout the city to be treated equally under the code as opposed to having to go through the expense and time of applying for a variance. As a result, the applicant agreed to withdraw the application. Since the application was withdrawn, the BOZA no longer needs to act on this issue. Staff will prepare a text amendment for the planning commission and council to review this fall/winter. 77 88 UNOFFICIAL MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA SEPT. 16, 2020 – 6:00 p.m. WEBEX MEMBERS PRESENT: Jim Beneke, Lynette Dumalag, Imran Dagane, Matt Eckholm, Courtney Erwin, Jessica Kraft, Tom Weber. MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT: Jacquelyn Kramer, Gary Morrison, Sean Walther 1. Call to Order – Roll Call 2. Approval of Minutes of Aug. 5, 2020 Commissioner Dumalag noted there were no names included on a motion. Mr. Walther stated that was due to a technical issue with the recording. The change included the following: “Commissioner Dumalag moved and Commissioner Erwin seconded the motion…” Approval of Minutes of Aug. 19, 2020 (study session) Commissioner Weber was absent, and the minutes will be corrected to reflect this. Commissioner Eckholm noted his name was misspelled on page 5. Approval of Minutes of Sept. 2, 2020 (study session) Commissioner Dumalag noted as it relates to the “Covid and interiors” topic it should read, “Commissioner Dumalag asked if the commission should be spending time on this since another authority review does this already.” Commissioner Eckholm stated on page 4 it should read, “…the least appropriate place to put a large parking garage is next to public transit.” Commissioner Eckholm made a motion to approve the above noted minutes with corrections. Commissioner Dumalag seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 7-0. 3. Public Hearings A. Accessory dwelling units zoning code text amendment Applicant: City of St. Louis Park Case Nos: 19-15-ZA 99 Unofficial Minutes Planning Commission September 16, 2020 Page 2 Rita Trapp, consulting planner, presented the staff report and an overview of the ADU ordinance. Ms. Trapp noted the ordinance classifies the ADU into two groups – attached or detached. She stated ADU’s implement some of the goals and strategies from the city’s comprehensive plan. Ms. Trapp explained the ordinance components, including the ADUs are only allowed on single-family lots in the R1, R2 or R3 zoning districts. All ADU’s must be at least 300 square feet in size with attached or detached having different upper limits. She also noted side and rear yard and height requirements for ADUs. No additional parking requirement is recommended and keeping the same amount of parking allowed with no more than 3 vehicles allowed parked on a lot or 5 if there are 5 licensed drivers. However, more parking is allowed within a garage and on the street. Ms. Trapp added the ordinance also prohibits short term vacation rentals of dwelling units and ADUs which is prohibited in the city regardless and prohibits sale of an ADU independent of the principle building and lot. She added that up to one family and 2 boarders are allowed on the lot. Ms. Trapp noted three options to be reviewed by the commission as well as potential language that can be added or clarified by the commission. Commissioner Erwin thanked Ms. Trapp and staff for providing options related to an owner occupancy requirement. Commissioner Weber asked about the detached ADUs 15 feet provision as met. He asked for clarification on this, and if the 15 feet is for the primary house as well. Mr. Walther stated the rear yard requirements are 25 feet for the principal building and the typical detached accessory building is 2 feet. He stated the commission suggested ADUs be 15 feet away to add separation and privacy for neighbors to the rear of the property. Chair Kraft opened the public hearing. There were no callers into the public hearing. The Chair closed the public hearing. 1010 Unofficial Minutes Planning Commission September 16, 2020 Page 3 Commissioner Beneke stated he is excited to see this proposal as it relates to naturally occurring affordable housing. He stated the only part he’s concerned about is the potential of ADUs being set up as rental properties managed by remote owners. He stated he felt there should be owner occupancy, but added it might be too costly to build, so then possibly fewer ADUs would be built ultimately. He stated he is happy about the third option which stated it has to be owner occupied when constructed. He added to start with they might want to add this requirement. Commissioner Eckholm stated he agreed with Commissioner Beneke related to the third option, to introduce more housing to the community, and it is a good start. He added this will be just one of many options as part of the 2040 plan and he strongly supports option 3. Commissioner Dumalag also supports option 3. Commissioner Weber asked how option 3 works if someone built an ADU for a family member to rent vs. an absent landlord. Mr. Walther stated staff reviews all building permits and could easily determine if a property is homesteaded or not and identify the owners of property. Commissioner Dumalag asked about the permit process timeline. Mr. Walther stated there is no approval needed by the commission of city council outside of administrative approval. Added new construction or major addition applications are typically turned around within 3 weeks or less, depending on any changes that are needed. There may be notice to neighbors if it meets the present threshold to require a construction management plan. Commissioner Dumalag asked if the certificate of occupancy then is issued. Mr. Walther stated, yes, upon completion of the construction. If the property was rented, it likely also requires a rental license. Chair Kraft noted in the past she had supported option 1, but after hearing this discussion, option 3 is a good compromise and she supports adding that language to the ordinance. Commission Erwin stated while she still has concerns about someone coming into a neighborhood and buying up properties, she noted AUDs can be expensive. She stated she will be curious how many will be built in the city in the next 10 years, but added she still supports option 3. 1111 Unofficial Minutes Planning Commission September 16, 2020 Page 4 Commissioner Weber asked if the ordinance can be revisited at a later date for updates or changes, and if there is a numerical goal for ADUs to be produced. Mr. Walther stated there is no goal for a number of ADUs to be built, however he added the city can compare progress to other nearby cities and housing production as a whole. Commissioner Beneke made a motion, Commissioner Dumalag seconded, recommending approval of the accessory dwelling units (ADU) zoning code ordinance text amendment as presented by staff, with the language from option 3. The motion passed on a vote of 7-0. B. Painted signs zoning code text amendment Applicant: City of St. Louis Park Case Nos: 20-18-ZA Gary Morrison, assistant zoning administrator, presented the staff report. Mr. Morrison stated this zoning code will allow signs painted directly onto a building and requires surfaces to be refinished after a sign is removed. Chair Kraft opened the public hearing. There were not callers into the public hearing. Chair Kraft closed the public hearing. Commissioner Weber made a motion, Commissioner Eckholm seconded, recommending approval of the painted signs zoning code text amendment as presented by staff. The motion passed on a vote of 7-0. C. Architectural design zoning code text amendment Applicant: City of St. Louis Park Case Nos: 20-17-ZA Gary Morrison, assistant zoning administrator, presented the staff report. 1212 Unofficial Minutes Planning Commission September 16, 2020 Page 5 The changes include revising the list of approved exterior materials, minor clarifications, and restructuring the ordinance. Chair Kraft opened the public hearing. There were not callers into the public hearing. Chair Kraft closed the public hearing. Commissioner Eckholm made a motion, Commissioner Dumalag seconded, recommending approval of the architectural design zoning code text amendment as presented by staff. The motion passed on a vote of 7-0. 4. Other Business - none 5.

Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 7:09 p.m. 1313 1414 Planning commission: Regular meeting Meeting date: October 21, 2020 Agenda item: 3a 3a Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Location: Historic Walker Lake Case Number: 20-19-CP; 20-20-ZA Applicant: City of St. Louis Park Recommended motions: Chair to open public hearing, take testimony and close public hearing. Motion to recommend approval of an: • Amendment to the 2040 comprehensive future land use definition for mixed-use and an amendment to the Historic Walker Lake place-type description. • Amendment to the 2040 comprehensive future land use map to reguide portions of Historic Walker Lake to mixed-use. • Amendment to the zoning ordinance to create a new mixed-use division with two mixed-use zoning districts: MX-1 and MX-2, including all associated zoning code amendments and adopt the design guidelines as a supporting document to the MX-2 district. • Amendment to the zoning map to rezone of all Historic Walker Lake to MX-2. Summary of request: In October 2018, the city started work on a revitalization plan for the Historic Walker Lake commercial district to promote and guide reinvestment that preserves the character and scale of the district. One of the plan’s key recommendations is to create a new zoning district specific to the Historic Walker lake area with a supplemental design guideline document. Staff propose some changes to the zoning ordinance, including a new zoning district that addresses building form and uses, and a design guideline document to provide guidance on the desired character and appearance of future infill development and reinvestment within the district. Staff recommends rearranging the existing Mixed-Use zoning district, which will now be called the MX-1 vertical mixed use district (MX-1) and incorporating a new Historic Walker Lake District, called MX-2 neighborhood mixed use district (MX-2) to create a Mixed-Use Division within the zoning ordinance. These changes would allow the Division to expand as additional mixed-use districts are created, including any Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) districts that are later established. In order to rezone Historic Walker Lake to MX-2, the 2040 future land use in the 2040 comprehensive plan needs to be in agreeance with any zoning changes. Staff recommends reguiding the future land use for Historic Walker Lake to mixed use and recommends revisions to the mixed-use definition in the comprehensive plan to remove the requirement that all parcels have a vertical mixing of uses. Instead, the requirements for mixed-use buildings will be regulated through individual zoning districts. Vertical mixed-use buildings will still be required for all parcels zoned MX-1. Staff also recommends updating the comprehensive plan’s place 1515 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake type description for Historic Walker Lake to provide more specific guidance on the types of uses that should be found within the district. Site information: Historic Walker Lake District Site area (acres): 83.65 acres Current 2040 land use guidance Current zoning COM - commercial C-2 general commercial IND - industrial I-P industrial park R-4 multiple-family residence Proposed 2040 land use guidance Proposed zoning MX - mixed use MX-2 mixed use 2 Background: The Historic Walker Lake commercial district in St. Louis Park is in the middle of a renaissance with both private and public reinvestment occurring. In October 2018, the city started work on a revitalization plan for the Historic Walker Lake commercial district to promote and guide reinvestment that preserves the character and scale of the district. The revitalization plan process involved robust public participation with the community, local businesses and commercial property owners. These efforts are documented and available to review on the city’s website. The Historic Walker Lake: District Revitalization Plan (HWL Plan) was completed in May 2019 and officially approved by the city in January 2020. The plan 1616 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake encourages revitalization and placemaking within the district, while preserving the character and scale of the area. In addition, the city is investing in the area’s infrastructure by updating the street design, adding sidewalks, bike lanes, enhancing parking areas and rebuilding two alleys. One of the plan’s key recommendations is to create a new zoning district specific to the Historic Walker lake area with a supplemental design guideline document. In study sessions the planning commission has discussed changes to the zoning ordinance, including a new zoning district that addresses building form and uses, and a design guideline document to provide guidance on the desired character and appearance of future infill development and reinvestment within the district. The ordinance and design guidelines were created directly from the recommendations of the revitalization plan. The draft ordinance and design guidelines are also supported by the newly formed Historic Walker Lake business association. The city council approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance to update the parking requirements in Historic Walker Lake in late 2019 and has discussed the revitalization plan at numerous study sessions and regular meetings. The city council has previously voiced support for the establishment updated zoning regulations for the area, that implement the community’s vision and recommendations of the revitalization plans. Linked below are agendas and minutes from previous city council discussions and actions regarding the Historic Walker Lake revitalization plan and associated zoning code amendments: • May 28, 2019 agenda (page 18) and minutes (page 2) • December 2, 2019 agenda (page 160) and minutes (page 7) • February 3, 2020 agenda (page 114) Approach: Since the acceptance by city council of the HWL Plan, city staff analyzed how best to implement the recommendations of the plan. One of the plan’s key recommendations is to create a new overlay district specific to the Historic Walker Lake area. However, implementing an overlay district that adequately addresses parking, uses, building form and public realm improvements while still relating to underlying zoning districts would be very complicated and difficult to implement. Instead, the unique features and needs of the Historic Walker Lake area make the establishment of a new zoning district and a supplemental design guideline document staff’s preferred alternative. The HWL Plan recommends that the implementation of the zoning district focus on building form, public realm, uses and parking. Specific building design elements are not specifically required, but promoted through a guidance document covering entrance design, articulation, roof design, balconies, materials, colors, awnings and landscaping. Present considerations: The planning commission is asked to give recommendations on four land use and zoning decisions: 1. Amendment to the 2040 comprehensive future land use definition for mixed-use and an amendment to the Historic Walker Lake place-type description. 1717 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake 2. Amendment to the 2040 comprehensive future land use map to reguide portions of Historic Walker Lake to mixed-use. 3. Amendment to the zoning ordinance to create a new mixed-use division with two mixed-use zoning districts: MX-1 and MX-2 and all associated zoning code amendments and adopt the design guidelines as a supporting document to the MX-2 district. 4. Amendment to the zoning map to rezone of all Historic Walker Lake to MX-2. 2040 comprehensive plan: In order to rezone Historic Walker Lake to MX-2, the 2040 future land use in the 2040 comprehensive plan needs to be consistent with any zoning changes. Staff recommends reguiding the future land use for Historic Walker Lake to mixed use and recommends minor revisions to the mixed-use definition in the comprehensive plan to remove the requirement that all parcels have a vertical mixing of uses. Instead, the requirements for mixed-use buildings will be regulated through individual zoning districts. Vertical mixed-use buildings will still be required for all parcels zoned MX-1. Staff also recommends updating the comprehensive plan’s place type description for the Historic Walker Lake District to provide more specific guidance on the types of uses that should be found within the district. Zoning district: The planning commission met with city staff and a planning consultant from HKGi on March 4, 2020 to review the recommended approach to the district (report; minutes). The commission was in favor of rearranging the existing mixed-use zoning district, which will now be called the MX-1 vertical mixed-use district (MX-1) district and incorporating a new Historic Walker Lake District, called MX-2 neighborhood mixed-use district (MX-2) to create a mixed-use division within the zoning ordinance. These changes would allow the division to expand as additional mixed-use districts are created, including any transit-oriented development (TOD) districts that are later established. The mixed-use division is written similar to the other zoning divisions within the city’s zoning code with general division performance standards placed at the division level, and specific requirements for height, setbacks, and uses within the district level. The new mixed-use division will replace in its entirety the existing mixed-use section of city code. The new mixed-use division is arranged so the performance standards for the districts, which are the same for MX-1 and MX-2 and which were established as part of the adoption of the original mixed-use district (now MX-1), are at the beginning of the ordinance. Uses, dimensional standards, and any special provisions are established within each individual district. Staff made a few amendments since the commission reviewed it in August. The proposed amendments include changes to the division performance standards, MX-1 standards and MX-2 standards: Performance standards: • Refined definition of Building Height to Street Width Ratio for added clarity and an updated graphic. • Text changes throughout the definitions to clarify yard and street frontages. 1818 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake • Clarified requirements for parking lot location design, garage entrances, and trash/recycling loading areas. MX-1 standards: • Allow restaurants as a permitted use rather than a use with conditions. The conditions were unnecessary since liquor licenses are regulated under a separate section of city code, and stand-alone bars are not a permitted use in the MX-1 or MX-2 district. • Separate microbreweries from distilleries into two categories in the use chart and apply the same conditions for these uses as other zoning districts throughout the city. • Added exceptions within the form requirement table to the minimum lot line coverage to allow courtyards, driveways, awnings and signage to encroach into the built-to-zone. • Remove anerobic digesters as an accessory use. MX-2 standards: • Remove gas stations as an allowed use. The existing gas station would become a non- conforming use and could not expand. New gas stations would not be permitted. • Add a size limit to retail and service uses to mirror the recently adopted C-1 neighborhood commercial requirements. • Remove the language pertaining to painted signs, based on the recently recommended sign code amendments that allow signs to be painted on a portion of a building. In addition to the mixed-use division, several sections of the zoning code need to be updated to include references to the new zoning district. These amendments are detailed in the attached draft ordinance amendment and include: • Section 36-4 Definitions to update the definition of a shopping center to include vendor markets (i.e. farmers markets or a food hall). • Section 36-82(b)(7) Authorized temporary uses • Section 36-111 Use districts established • Table 36-115D Open space requirements • Section 36-361 Off-street parking areas, paved areas, and loading spaces • Section 36-361(l) Design requirements for parking yards • Section 36-362 Signs • Section 36-366(b) building design shadow requirements Design guidelines: The commission has also voiced support for creating a separate design guideline document for MX-2 (Historic Walker Lake). The document provides guidance for the desired “feel” of future infill development in the district, without being overly prescriptive. It is designed to be handed out to property owners and potential developers. The planning commission received a report in July with a draft design guideline document and sent feedback to staff. The commission then met on August 19, 2020 (report) to review a draft of the MX-2 ordinance and the design guidelines. The commissioners voiced support for both documents but requested a few minor blurring changes be made to some images in the design guidelines. Those changes have been made. 1919 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake Community outreach: The draft zoning ordinance and design guidelines were presented to the Historic Walker Lake Business Association on August 26, 2020, and they voiced support for the changes. A virtual neighborhood meeting was held on October 6, 2020. Notices were sent to all properties within the district as well as all property owners within 350 feet of the district. Twelve people attended, and their questions focused on changing uses, parking requirements for 2 and 3 story buildings and the future of the city’s parking lot on Gorham Avenue. Community members voiced support for the ordinance and design guidelines and are excited about the changes happening within the district. Next steps: The city council is scheduled to review the proposed land use and zoning changes on November 2, 2020. Recommendations: Staff recommends approval to: 1. Amend the 2040 comprehensive future land use definition for mixed-use and amend the Historic Walker Lake place-type description. 2. Amend the 2040 comprehensive future land use map to reguide portions of Historic Walker Lake to mixed-use. 3. Amend the zoning ordinance to create a new mixed-use division with two mixed-use zoning districts: MX-1 and MX-2, including all associated zoning code amendments and adopt the design guidelines as a supporting document to the MX-2 district. 4. Amend the zoning map to rezone of all Historic Walker Lake to MX-2.

The uses Uses allowed are include commercial, office, residential, light industrial, civic, and parks/open space. The uses allowed and the degree to which a mix of uses is required on a parcel varies by both the place type and the zoning district. The goal of this designation is to create pedestrian-scale mixed-use areas, typically with buildings having a portion of retail, service or other commercial uses on the ground floor and residential or office uses on upper floors. Mixed use buildings typically have approximately 75 to 85 percent of the building for residential use and 15 to 25 percent for commercial, office, and other similar uses. Taller buildings may be appropriate in some areas and net residential densities between 20 and 75 units per acre are allowed. The MX designation is intended to facilitate a unique mixed-use town center atmosphere in places in Park Commons, Historic Walker Lake, as well as other key community and neighborhood commercial centers, commercial corridors, and neighborhood commercial nodes. Page 5-122: Place Types Framework Historic Walker Lake Historic Walker Lake Bounded by Louisiana Avenue to the west, Highway 7 to the south, Wooddale Avenue to the east, and Library Lane/ St. Louis Park High School on the north, the Historic Walker Lake District is the location of the original “Village Center” of historic St. Louis Park. Although the The remnants of St. Louis Park’s original commercial village center are visible in the recently defined and branded Historic Walker Lake District as a unique mixed use area surrounding the intersection of Lake and Walker Streets. , St. Louis Park no longer has its original commercial center. In recent years the area has seen a renaissance with private and public investment occurring throughout the district. Since many of the buildings are old and changes in the use of tenant spaces continues, a planning study of the area is underway was initiated in 2018 to identify potential improvements and revitalization opportunities. to promote and guide reinvestment that preserves the character and scale of the district. The resulting Historic Walker Lake Revitalization Plan, which was approved by the city council in January 2020, recommends a broad mix of compatible uses (businesses, schools, community center, library, recreation, and residential) be allowed throughout the district, specifically commercial, office and light industrial uses on the ground floor with residential uses allowed above. The plan also recommends significant parking reductions be made to encourage reuse and occupancy of existing buildings. In the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Walker Street and Lake Street area was defined as a Commercial Corridor and a potential redevelopment area. In the past two years, the city has begun to view this area as a district that encompasses a broad mix of compatible uses 2121 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3a) Title: Comprehensive plan and zoning amendments to allow for a new zoning district for Historic Walker Lake (businesses, schools, community center, library, recreation, and residential).

AREA DESIGN GUIDELINES HWL Today! HWL Today! 6565 1. Historic buildings should be replicated in form, but not necessarily in design. This means building form, such as height and setbacks, should be similar, but design, such as materials or window shapes, can be different and modern; the architectural style is open. »Infill buildings should replicate the form and size of adjacent buildings, but can use updated building design. »Facades should replicate form features such as spacing of entrances and transparency, but design can be different. »New buildings should not have “historic” detailing just to match adjacent buildings. 2. Lighting and design should highlight the historic features of older buildings while introducing updated materials and uses. 3. Architecture and design should be used to create street frontages that are visually interesting, especially at a pedestrian scale. Architecture and Design 74 May 2019HISTORIC WALKER LAKE: DISTRICT REVITALIZATION PLAN 75 Architectural DetailsThe Walker Lake District is home to historic buildings and newer buildings alike. Architectural details on new buildings should reflect the existing context in form and material, but use current building design. ideas The examples on this page show recommended renovated and new building design. Infill: This infill building replicated the form and size of historic buildings, but uses updated building design. Infill: These facades replicated historic entrance spacing and transparency but use updated building design. Architectural Details Updated and traditional materials should be used. Older building elements can be replicated in form, but not in detail. This means building form, such has height and setbacks, should be similar, but details, such as materials or windows shapes, can be different. The scale of the buildings should be similar, but the architectural style is open. Recommendations: Details: The infill building uses non-structural historic details poorly. New buildings should not replicate historic buildings with non-structural details. Renovation: The historic renovations on these pages show how light materials highlight the historic features of the older buildings while introducing updated materials and uses. HWL Today! 6666 1. The primary entrance should be visually distinct from the rest of the façade. This could be accomplished through: »Utilizing different materials or cap/canopy. »Installing sidelight and transom windows around entrances. »Extending the articulation of the entrance to the second floor. »Recessing entrances to achieve articulation and visual interest. 2. In order to design to a pedestrian scale, entrances along primary frontages should be repeated at least every 65 feet. 3. A majority of entrances on the primary frontage should be close to the same elevation of the sidewalk to provide ease of access to pedestrians. Entrances 6767 1. Horizontal articulation of new buildings is encouraged. This can be accomplished through the use of: »Cornice »Molding »Belt course »Other continuous horizontal ornamentation 2. Vertical divisions are encouraged, especially on the ground floor, to create visual interest. This can be accomplished through the use of: »Column »Other continuous vertical ornamentation »Pilaster 3. Façade variety along primary and secondary frontages is encouraged. Variety can be accomplished through: »Change in façade materials or colors »Inclusion of courtyards along the façade »Vertical recess or projection of walls 4. Design Elements to add further interest: »Awnings on the façade of the ground floor. ▪These elements provide shelter and shade for pedestrians. ▪Should have a clearance of at least ten feet over any walkway. »Balconies on upper floor façade. ▪These elements provide outdoor space and upper story activation. ▪Should be at least four feet in depth. »Shutters, when used, should complement the windows they surround in scale, materials, and placement. Street Façade Articulation 6868 1. If awnings are used or installed, they should project over individual window and door openings but should not extend between window and door openings. 2. Awnings should be mounted on the frame of a window or door opening rather than the wall surrounding the opening. 3. Retractable, open-ended shed awnings, with no side panels, are the preferred style. Shed awnings are more traditional in appearance than closed/box awnings and domed awnings, which are usually not appropriate. Shed awnings are more transparent, allow increased views into storefront windows, don’t obscure building architectural features, and are visually lighter and simpler in appearance. Awnings/Canopy 4. Awnings with a front valance or skirt, which hangs down from the awning’s front edge, are the preferred style. Awning signs should usually be located on the front valance, so that the signage is visible whether the awning is extended out or retracted against the building’s façade. 5. Canvas, canvas blend, and acrylics that resemble canvas are appropriate materials for awnings and canopies; vinyl, metal, glass and shiny materials are generally not appropriate. 6. Awnings/canopies should have a minimum clearance height of eight (8) feet above the ground. 6969 1. Architectural innovation is encouraged through the use of both contemporary and traditional materials. 2. Dominant façade should consist of high quality, durable, finish materials. The following are encouraged dominant facade materials: »Stone »Cement-based stucco »Brick »Architectural metal panels »Glass 3. The color of materials should generally fit within historic palettes from any major paint manufacturer. Other colors may be utilized for details and accents. Materials 4. In addition to the dominant façade materials, the following can be used as facade accents: »Fiber cement trim pieces. »Metal for beams, lintels, trim, and ornamentation. »Burnished, glazed, or honed concrete masonry units (CMU) or block for trim and details, but not surfaces. »Split-face, honed, or glazed concrete masonry units with minimal height for surfaces less than 10 percent of the facade. »Cast stone concrete elements. HWL Today! 7070 1. A projecting sign is the preferred style; wall signs are also appropriate but should be oriented to pedestrians in scale and design. 2. Projecting and wall signs should be placed and sized so that they do not obscure building architectural features and fit the scale of the building facade. 3. The style, colors, and materials of projecting and wall signs should be complementary with the character of the building and other signage. 4. Where feasible, projecting and wall signs should be placed to align with other signs on that building and other buildings on the same block face. 5. Projecting signs should usually be mounted near the storefront entrance, just above the door, or just to the side of it. 6. Projecting signs should generally be oriented to visibility by pedestrians and placed so that they do not obscure other signs, both projecting and wall signs. 7. Projecting signs intended for visibility by automobile traffic should be mounted higher on the building façade or positioned at the building corner. 8. If a storefront has awnings, the projecting sign should be placed above the awnings. 9. Projecting signs should have a minimum clearance height of eight (8) feet above the ground. Signs 7171 1. Accent lighting should be limited to indirect lighting of specific signage, architectural and landscape features only; lighting should not exhibit or advertise the building itself. 2. Signs, including wall, projecting, awning and window, should not be internally illuminated. 3. Signage lighting should be provided by an external light source that is directed at the sign. 4. Signage lighting fixtures should be relatively simple and unobtrusive in appearance and size and should not obscure visibility of the sign. 5. External lighting sources should be shielded so that the light source is not visible by pedestrians. Lighting 7272 1. Yards and open spaces should provide an opportunity for outdoor “active” areas. 2. Seating, shade, art, and events are encouraged within open spaces, especially along the street frontage. 3. Cafe seating and open transitions from indoor uses are also encouraged. 4. Site design should prioritize pedestrians, transit users, and bicyclists and creating pleasant open spaces for those users to gather and move through. 5. Non-conventional gathering spots, such as former loading areas and unused alleyways are encouraged to be activated as open spaces. 6. These areas are also encouraged for temporary activation, such as food-truck festivals or other local events Open Space & Access HWL Today! 7373 For more information, contact the City of St. Louis Park Community Development Department Phone: 952.924.2575 https://www.stlouispark.org/government/departments-divisions/community-development Because of limitations of existing sites, it may be difficult to meet city’s traditional landscaping standards.

Summary of request: Dalquist Properties requests an amendment to an existing special permit to allow a 21,850 square foot expansion, additional loading dock and additional surface parking lot to the Nordic Ware campus at 5005 Highway 7. Site information: Site area (acres): 13.4 Nordic Ware campus Project area Parcel boundary 7575 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Title: Nordic Ware amendment to special permit Current and proposed uses: Surrounding land uses: manufacturing and warehouse, with some office North: Highway 7/County Road 25 East: vacant South: railroad right-of-way West: self-storage facility Current and proposed 2040 land use guidance Current and proposed zoning: IND - industrial I-G general industrial Background: The applicant proposes a 21,850 square foot, two-story expansion of the manufacturing and warehouse operations at Nordic Ware. A new 51-space surface parking lot and second loading dock are also proposed as part of this project. Part of the existing building and a nine-space surface parking lot would be demolished. Water main relocation: An existing watermain runs north-south through the project area and loops through the site to the west. City staff determined that the water main serves an ongoing public interest; the water main is necessary for fire suppression purposes and circulation and water use for more than one property in the looped system. In order to maintain maintenance access, staff require a fifteen-foot distance between the watermain and the proposed building wall. To meet this requirement, the applicant proposes relocating the watermain to the east and reconnecting with the rest of the loop. Utility easement: The plat for the Nordic Ware campus includes a thirty-foot wide drainage and utility easement over the watermain. As part of this project, the applicant proposes vacating a portion of the north-south easement, and dedicating additional easement to the east, to provide a 20-foot wide easement over the relocated watermain. Easement vacations are enacted through ordinance and require a public hearing by city council. Planning commission does need to take action on the easement vacation request. Relocation of the water main and modifications to the easement should be conditions of approval. Access road: The segment of Quentin Avenue that dead ends into the site is currently operated and maintained by the city. This was a holdover from when the site that is now the Nordic Ware factory store was a separate lot and vet clinic use. That parcel has since been acquired by Nordic Ware and combined with the larger parcel. Because of this change, this pavement no longer provides access to more than one property owner and serves as a private driveway on public right of way. The addition of the new parking lot reinforces this single private use. The city does not support vacating the right of way at this time; however, the city also should not be performing maintenance on the pavement located in the Quentin right of way south of the South CSAH 25 Frontage road curb line. This includes patching, snow removal, sweeping or repaving. It will be considered a private driveway on public right of way. Staff recommend a condition of approval stating Nordic Ware will maintain this access. Encroachment agreement: The proposed surface parking lot encroaches onto city right of way. The applicant has agreed to enter into an encroachment agreement with the city to allow the approximately 1,196 square feet of private use of public land. 7676 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Title: Nordic Ware amendment to special permit Pedestrian connection to/from the site: Staff recommend the applicant identify and provide a pedestrian connection between the building and the nearest transit stop. At the time of this report, the property owner is evaluating existing pedestrian infrastructure on the site. Present considerations: City council approved a special permit on the site on August 6, 1990 (Resolution No. 90-105) to allow construction of the manufacturing and warehouse facility. Since then the campus has undergone numerous building expansions and site improvements. Council most recently approved an amendment to the special permit on December 15, 2008 (Resolution No. 08-160) in order to construct a building addition. The proposed building expansion requires an additional amendment to the special permit. The proposed manufacturing and warehouse uses are permitted by right in the I-G zoning district. Zoning analysis: The following table provides zoning information for the project. Further project details are provided below. Factor Required (building expansion) Proposed Met?

Mechanical equipment Full screening required Site will meet requirements; see conditions of approval Yes Stormwater management: Per the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requirements, the project will be required to treat the new impervious surface area for rate, volume, and phosphorous. The applicant proposes an underground filtration system to meet both the watershed and city requirements. A permit from the watershed district will be required before the city issues building permits. Landscaping and sustainability: Sustainable landscaping features contribute to meeting one of the city council’s strategic priorities: St. Louis Park shall be a leader in environmental stewardship. Staff recommend the applicant provide more details on sustainability features of the landscaping and stormwater plans, that demonstrate how this project supports the city’s goal of environmental stewardship. Solar energy: Nordic Ware is currently evaluating a proposal to install solar panels on the south wall of the existing building, facing the rail corridor. Staff will share more details on this proposal with planning commission and city council when they are available. Construction and staging: If council approves the applications, the project would start construction in winter 2020/2021. Construction would take 5-7 months. Staff recommend that construction and staging information be submitted to staff for review and approval before building permits are issued. Next steps: City council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the easement vacation application and take action on the application for an amendment to the special permit on November 2, 2020. Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the Nordic Ware amendment to special permit subject to the following conditions: 1. The site shall be developed, used and maintained in accordance with the conditions of this ordinance, approved Official Exhibits, and City Code. 2. Subject to city council approval of the easement, relocating the water main, and providing additional public drainage and utility easement over the relocated watermain. 3. Construction and staging information will be provided to staff for review and approval before building permits are issued. 4. All utility service structures shall be buried. If any utility service structure cannot be buried (i.e. electric transformer), it shall be integrated into the building design and 100% screened from off-site with materials consistent with the primary façade materials. 5. The property owner will be responsible for performing maintenance on the access located in the Quentin right of way south of the South CSAH 25 Frontage road curb line. This includes patching, snow removal, sweeping, repaving, general repair and replacement. It will be considered a private driveway on public right of way. 7878 Regular meeting meeting of October 21, 2020 (Item No. 3b) Title: Nordic Ware amendment to special permit 6.
