Rezoning of Property at 1480 Third Ave W from B-1, Highway Business and R-3, Multiple Family Residential to Light Industrial, I-1 zone and Reguiding of the Property from Commercial to Industrial-Res. No. 7308 General Business 9, A. 1. SHAKol1E TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Kyle Sobota, Planner I DATE: 05/21/2013 SUBJECT: Rezoning of Property at 1480 Third Ave W from B -1, Highway Business and R -3, Multiple Family Residential to Light Industrial, I -1 zone and Reguiding of the Property from Commercial to Industrial - Res. No. 7308 (B) Action Sought The City Council is asked to adopt Resolution No. 7308, a resolution denying the request to reguide the property at 1480 Third Ave W from Commercial to Industrial and denying the request to rezone the property from Highway Business, B -1 and Multiple Family Residential, R -3 to Light Industrial, I -1 zoning. Introduction Steve and Vicky Heller have applied to both rezone and reguide their property at 1480 Third Avenue West. The property is currently occupied by a used car lot that uses the northern portion of the building and the parking area immediately adjacent to the building. The property is currently for sale, so there is not a specific use proposed for the site. As mentioned in the staff report to the Planning Commission, the City Council must determine if it is comfortable with the site being developed as any of the permitted or conditional uses listed in the Light Industry, (I -1) zone. The Light Industry, (I -1) list of uses is attached as the final pages of the planning commission report. It should be noted that in the staff report to the Planning Commission that Cottage Homesteads is noted as an assisted living facility, this is incorrect. Cottage Homesteads are owner occupied one -level condominiums southwest of the subject property. Emerald Crest, which is the adjacent development east of Cottage Homesteads and west of Long View Estates is an assisted living / memory care facility. Staff has received comments from three residents that are opposed to the request, one resident spoke at the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the request. The concerns were about exterior storage, the difficulty in potentially screening the site, and the potential for truck traffic. The criteria required for the granting of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and rezoning are listed below with proposed findings for the Council's consideration. FINDINGS The criteria required for the granting of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment are listed below for the City Council's consideration. Criteria #1 The original Zoning Ordinance is in error; Finding #1 There has been no evidence that the original zoning classification is in error, or that the Highway Business, B -1 and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) zones prevent this site from being utilized. City sewer and water service is available near the property, which is sized for commercial development. Criteria #2 That significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place; Finding #2 There have not been significant changes in community goals and policies as they relate to the CSAH 69 corridor where there is desire to have properties south of CSAH 69 zoned and guided for Industrial use directly adjacent to residential properties. Criteria #3 That significant changes in City -wide or neighborhood development patterns have occurred; or Finding #3 There has been no evidence presented that either city-wide or neighborhood development patterns have changed. Finding #4 The watermain in the area is not currently sized for industrial uses. A potential future user would have to be studied to determine if the current public services are capable of serving a user and providing adequate fire protection. Criteria #4 That the comprehensive plan requires a different provision. Finding #5 The City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides the area for commercial use, and this property is currently zoned Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3), which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission reviewed this request at its May 9, 2013 meeting, and recommended denial of the Rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the City Council by a 5 -0 vote. Commissioners expressed concern about potential screening of the property from the adjacent residences. A copy of the staff report to the Planning Commission is attached for the Council's information. Alternatives 1. Approve Resolution No. 7308, denial of a request to reguide the property from Commercial to Industrial and to rezone the property from Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) to Light Industrial (I -1) zoning. 2. Do not approve Resolution No. 7308, denial of the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan to guide this property for Industrial use and to rezone the property from Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) to Light Industrial (I -1) zoning, and direct staff to prepare a resolution approving the rezoning and reguiding request for the Council's review at the next meeting. 3. Offer a motion to table this item and request additional information from the applicant and/or staff. Action Requested Offer a motion to approve Resolution No. 7308, denial of a request to reguide the property from Commercial to Industrial and to rezone the property from Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) to Light Industrial (I -1) zoning and move its adoption.

The property is located at 1480 Third Avenue West, near the intersection of CSAH 69 and Third Avenue West. Please see Exhibit A for specific site location. The subject site is approximately 12.65 acres in size. DISCUSSION The applicant submitted the attached narrative (Exhibit B) in connection with the application. The subject property was previously occupied by the property owner as part of his drywall and flooring business. The property owner has been marketing the property and states he has been unsuccessful at finding a buyer for the property for a commercial use because of businesses being turned away by City staff. City staff met with a business interested in purchasing the property in March of 2012 and toured their facility in Jackson Township, and it was determined that with a conditional use permit, the business could move their operation to this site. Staff is not aware why the potential user did not move forward with the purchase of the property. There remain possibilities for development of this site as a Highway Business property, even though other potential businesses that did not comply with the current zoning have contacted city staff. This property is immediately adjacent to land zoned Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3). There are 23 townhome units in Long View Estates directly adjacent to the south of the property, and assisted living units at Cottage Homesteads on 10 Avenue directly adjacent to this property (See Exhibit A). Currently there is not a proposed user for the site, and the site is currently not served by City Sewer and Water. The listed purpose of the Light Industrial Zone in the City Code is to provide 1 an area for industrial, light manufacturing, and office uses, which are generally not obtrusive and which serve as a transition between more intensive industrial sites and residential and business land uses. If this request were to be approved it is possible that any of the permitted uses in the Light Industrial Zone would become an occupant of the site, or that requests for conditional use permits for any of the listed conditional uses could be heard by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. The Planning Conunission is charged with determining if the current zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan are in error. For this project it would be whether the potential proximity of industrial uses to residential uses is preferred over the current configuration. This request has been reviewed by other city departments and outside agencies. The comments received are as follows: Scott County Environmental Health has commented that a compliance inspection would need to take place if the rezoning were to be approved. Environmental Health also conuments that without sewer service being extended to this site they recommending the rezoning request be denied until a specified use with defined wastewater needs is determined (See Exhibit F). Shakopee Public Utilities has commented that water service is available to this property, but Shakopee Public Utilities specifies that Industrial zoned property be served by a 12" watermain, the watermain in this area is 8 ". Any proposed Industrial use would need to be evaluated to determine if sufficient fire flows (volume and pressure) will be available from the present water system in the area if the request were to be approved. Shakopee Public Utilities recommends not approve a zoning change unless the property owner were to agree to upgrade the water system in the area if necessary.(See Exhibit E). Shakopee Fire Department has commented that a change in the use to an industrial use may require the installation of a fire sprinkler system since the existing building is nearly 10,000 square feet. The Fire Department has also commented that uses not permitted in the Highway Business zone would likely trigger the need for a Fire Sprinkler system and that Industrial zoned properties are served by 12" watermains. (See Exhibit D). The City Administrator has reconunended denial of this request based on the proximity to the residential uses on 6 Avenue. Although there are currently many deciduous trees on the south side of the property that screen views of the property from the adjacent residences the majority of the year, there is no assurance that the trees would remain in place as a screening buffer if the property were to become developed as either a commercial or a industrial property. The entire property would become visible from all of the residential lots on both 6 and 10 Avenues if the trees were to be removed. In this situation a commercial zoning district such as Highway Business would be considered less intrusive to the residential property, where there are numerous areas in the city of Highway Business zoned property adjacent to different residential districts, including single family. 2 In the past City Staff has experienced resident complaints in areas where residential uses are directly adjacent to Light Industrial zoned property, such as on the eastern border of Shakopee and along Eagle Creek Boulevard. In these other areas the residential properties are at the same elevation as the industrial uses, making then less visible than the residences in this case that are elevated. Recently both the Planning Commission and the City Council have heard a request for rezoning of Highway Business properties further east on County Road 69 for Rahr Malting. The City Council has expressed concern about the proximity of adjacent residences and the compatibility of industrial uses near residential uses because of the potential for truck traffic for warehousing. Without City services, warehousing is a potential use on this site that could generate significant truck traffic with low water usage. A conditional use permit was approved for vehicle sales on the property in November of 2012. If the rezoning were to be approved, the car lot would become a non - conforming use on this site. Vehicle sales operations are permitted in the Light Industrial zone provided it accounts for less than 20% of a service operation's business. It is staff's position that if this rezoning and guiding request were to be approved that the vehicle sales operation's Conditional Use Permit be rescinded because of non- compliance with Light Industrial zoning regulations. The Economic Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) will review this request for reguiding and rezoning at its May 15 meeting. FINDINGS The criteria required for the granting of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment are listed below for the Convnission consideration. Criteria #1 That the original Zoning Ordinance is in error; Finding #1 There has been no evidence that the original zoning classification is in error, or that the B -1 zone prevents this site from being utilized. Criteria H2 That significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place; Finding #2 There have not been significant changes in community goals and policies as they relate to the CSAH 69 corridor where there is desire to have properties in this area zoned and guided for Industrial use. Criteria #3 That significant changes in City -wide or neighborhood development patterns have occurred; or Finding #3 There has been no evidence presented that either city -wide or neighborhood development patterns have changed. The watermain in the area is not sized for industrial uses. A potential future user would have to be studied to determine if the current public services are capable of serving a user. Criteria #4 That the comprehensive plan requires a different provision. Finding #4 The City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides the area for commercial use, and this property is currently zoned Highway Business (B -1), which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 3 STAVE RECOMMENDA g ION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council the denial of the request to reguide property to Commercial from Industrial and to rezone property to Light Industrial (I -1) Zone from Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) Zone. ALTERNATIVES 1.

Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the approval of the request to reguide property to Industrial from Commercial and to rezone property to Light Industrial (I -1) Zone from Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) Zone. 3. Offer a motion to continue the public hearing and request additional information from the applicant and /or staff. 4. Close the public hearing, and offer a motion to table and request additional information from the applicant and /or staff. ACTION REQUESTED Offer a motion to recommend to the City Council the denial of the request to reguide property to Industrial from Commercial and to rezone property to Light Industrial (I -1) Zone from Highway Business (B -1) and Multiple Family Residential (R -3) Zone (Alternative No. 1).

March 27, 2013 To Whom It May Concern, My name is Steve Heller, owner of 1480 3rd Ave S, Shakopee MN. I am requesting a zone change for this parcel to Light Industrial. The reason for this change is that since I closed my business for more than six months, now the property can't be used as in the past and like my neighbors. (Enclosed are pictures taken of how neighbors are using their property) I have been trying to sell this property for over two years. Interested parties have been turned away by the city because they will not conform to the B -1 zoning use. The question that I'm asked is why can the other neighboring businesses be able to do what they do and this property can't. 1 have asked this many times at city hall and the answer from city staff is "They have been grandfathered in ". The tax burden on this property is $34,218.00, plus a mortgage payment. Not being able to find an interested party that fits into B -1 zoning has become a financial burden to me. After looking at the pictures that have been included with this request, you may agree with me that none of my neighbors really fit into the B -1 zoning that I'm suppose to comply with. All I'm requesting is to do what everyone else on West 3` Ave is using their properly for. My employees spent money in town when they worked at this address. Now they spend their money in different towels. This would change when a new business was able to open its doors here. This would be a win for the City and a win for me. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.

We do not believe rt to be in the best interest of the area to rezone this parcel to 1 -1. There may be other existing parcels in the area which are non - conforming or in violation of the existing B -1 zoning, however, it does not appear prudent to the City to rezone this parcel due to those issues. 2. Any change of use /occupancy of the building may require the installation of a fire sprinkler systern as the overall structure is approximately 10,000 square feet in size. Rezoning the property from S -1 to 1 -1 to allow for additional uses not currently permitted in the B -1 zone and will increase the likelihood that a fire sprinkler system • will be required. 3. Properties in industrial zoned areas are typically served by 12" water mains. This property is not currently served by a public water main. 4. Subject properly is within Insurance Service Office (ISO) requirements for fire department engine company coverage based on current fire station placement. Requirements for ISO are an engine cornpany within 1.5 miles. This property is currently 1.5 miles from e fire station. 5. Subject property is net within Insurance Service Office (ISO) requirements for fire department ladder company coverage based on current fire station placement. Requirements for ISO are a ladder cornpany within 2.5 miles. This property is currently 1.5 miles from a fire station. (yll\VA Apr. `1. 1011 lo:IUANI No. 7111 r. l L... T i ._O : ; PUBLIC UT ILA T I ��,S COMMISSION .,_.., . . -.. "Lighting the Way - Yesterday, Today and. Beyond" MEMORANDUM TO: Shakopee Community Development Department FROM: Joseph D. Adams, Planning and Engineering Director !' SUBJECT: STAFF REVIEW RECORD COMMENTS for: Comp Nail Amendment and Rezoning B -1 to I-1 CASE NO: 1301.7 DATE: 4/9/13 COMMENTS: Municipal water service is available subject to our standard terms and conditions. These include, but are not limited to: installing a lateral water main distribution system in accordance with utility policy, paying the associated inspections costs, granting any necessary easements, paying the Trunk Water Charge, and paying the Water Connection Charge. Underground electric service is available subject to our standard terms and conditions. These include, but are not limited to: entering into an Underground Distribution Agreement, granting any necessary easements, and paying the associated fees. Street Lighting installation is available subject to our standard terms and conditions_ These are contained in the current City of Shakopee Street Lighting Policy. Applicant must pay the associated fees. Applicant should contact Shakopee Public Utilities directly for specific requirements relating to their project. Note: Standard SPtJC liVatermain Design Criteria specifies that industrial zoned property be connected to a 12 -inch minimum pipe diameter. Watermain in the area is 8-inch diameter which is consistent with the sommercial/highvvay business zoning of this and adjacent property. This property does not currently have water service. Any specific industrial use that requires water service would have to be first evaluated to determine if sufficient fire flows (volume and pressure) will be available from the present water distribution system in the area if'this zoning change request is approved.

We reviewed our files related to the on -site sewage system for this site and note that we require a compliance inspection be conducted on this system and that an assessment be provided on the estimated water uses for the proposed businesses that could occupy this property prior to a change in zoning. This requirement for a compliance inspection is addressed in our Scott County Subsurface Sewage Treatment System Ordinance No. 4 which states in part: 7.03 COMPLIANCE INSPECTIONS REQUIRED. A compliance inspection is required: F. Where a permit or an amendment to an existing permit is required for a change in use of a property (i.e. residential to commercial, commercial to industrial, etc., or the addition of a business, or a change of a business type or use) including additional parking or outside storage area; or G. When any parcel of land is developed, subdivided, rezoned or split and there is an existing SSTS on any of the parcels. We note that a specific proposed use has not been identified to enable a determination to he made as to the capability of the existing subsurface sewage treatment system to accommodate such use. We also note that this parcel appears to have limited options for additional sewage treatment system locations due to disturbed soils and shallow bedrock. Recognizing this dilemma, we would suggest that this • rezoning application be rejected until such time that there is a specified proposed use with definable waste water needs. Alternatively, the City could stipulate that municipal water and sewer services be connected to this parcel as a condition of rezoning if this proposed zoning appears to the City to be otherwise compatible with the adjacent land uses. . • i _ � 1i _ -i - • I. 1I l ., —_- -, ill - - _ _ _ -- __ . - . . • • H , , fir ?d ( . } "- a a P yy - • i " .-- to y 4 4 , f �;#. . +..� 's ... , 1 ' ' .fir ' $ &, bw � , ie R ;A .. - _ ° $ # U , y R ++ ti y ob • � � _ , t i ce ,, i ��� ` ' • t az • 1 \ i ' • .
