Aerial of Subject Property CITY COUNCIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE City Council — October 10, 2011 60 Day — September 12, 2011 60 Day Extension — November 10, 2011 Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg SP #11-02 RE UEST The petitioner and property owner of 7580 Commerce Lane NE, Mr. Cote, is seeking a special use permit to allow limited outdoor storage on the property. He is hoping that if a special use permit is in place to allow outdoor storage that it will make this 1;;r z �.�°M�; a n�o ne� .� z z site more marketable and will help with the ',� m �� ti ,= 7��0 '� � potential sale of the property. He understands the 70L = � 13 � 4 "i ,'�. T� �� code requirements to allow for limited outdoor ��mqyFNE »z„ av� N!� ` �- -- storage and is agreeable to those regulations. _ ___ � 76� c�°� HISTORY AND ANALYSIS The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are the properties to the north, west and south. The property to the west is a commercial complex and is zoned C-2, General Business. The subject property is located on the corner of Commerce Lane and Osborne Road. The existing building was constructed in 1972, with an addition being constructed in 1974. A loading dock was added to the building in 1991. In 2003, Malton Equipment Co., applied for and received special use permit approval to have outdoor storage on this site. They have since vacated the site and it remains unoccupied. 7510 .. . �....7500 �.. � 75Q1 J � i � �eao : rn m � A . . . 7420...' < rnii � 7421 . h � �aoo ; m 0 Z �ava , z rn -' � z� oT J' �r. w�� w,, T r. T. T. m m < m 7� � m �� In 2008, the petitioner purchased the subject property. He is also the property owner of 100 Osborne Road, which is west of the property. At that time, the petitioner purchased the triangular piece of land west of the subject property that was part of 7580 Commerce Lane, to combine it with 100 Osborne Road. The additional land area was needed for 100 Osborne Road to create a new driveway to the multi-tenant building as a result of the quiet zone changes to the rail crossing. This change in land area for the subject property changed the outdoor storage area that was originally approved with the 2003 special use permit. Therefore, staff determined that a new special use permit for outdoor storage would need to be obtained. The 2003 special use permit will be repealed and replaced with this special use permit. City Code allows limited outdoor storage in the industrial districts that is up to 50% of the building footprint with a special use permit. The buildings square footage is 21,754 square feet, so City code would allow up to 10,877 square feet of outdoor storage on this site. The petitioner is requesting to have outdoor storage in one designated area on the west side of the site. The proposed area is 10,877 sq. ft in size, which is exactly 50% of the buildings footprint. Because a tenant hasn't been identified for this site, at this time the items to be stored are unknown. Before the special use permit can be issued for limited outdoor storage, several additional requirements need to be met. Those specific requirements relate to height, screening, parking, and the types of materials allowed to be stored outside. Based on the breakdown of uses within the building, which was provided by the petitioner, parking needs for this site are 16 parking stalls. The petitioner has shown on the submitted site plan 19 parking stalls, which meets code requirements. If the building is used for anything other than warehouse, additional parking may be required. code requirements for outdoor storage. The outdoor storage area will need to be screened from the public right-of- way. There is a chain link fence already installed, with screening slats; however some of the slats are missing. New slats will need to be installed where there are missing slats to ensure proper screening from the public right-of-way. The proposed site plan meets all other outdoor storage code requirements. City staff heard from the business owner to the south of the subject property that had questions about the types of items to be stored outside and the type of business occupying the site. Those items are unknown at this time; however any new tenant would be required to comply with all RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of both special use permits, with stipu/ations. Limited outdoor storage is a permitted special use in the M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district, provided specific code requirements are met, subject to stipulations. This Special Use Permit, SP #11-02 will repeal and replace SP #03-23 that was approved to allow for limited outdoor storage in 2003. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. Outdoor storage on this site shall remain in the approved outdoor storage areas on/y. 2. The existing fence shall have screening slats insta/led to allow proper screening of the outdoor storage area before occupancy of a new tenant or buyer. 3. If parking becomes an issue on this site, based on use of a new tenant, additional parking shall be required. 4. Any new tenant or property owner shall be required to comply with code requirements for limited oufdoor storage. SCHMIDT OSBORNE, LLC September 12, 2011 Ms. Stacy Stromberg City of Fridley 6431 University Avenue NE Fridley, MN 55432 RE: Conditional Use Permit - 7580 Commence Lane NE Dear Ms Stromberg: As you are aware, DLTL Ventures, LLC, our prospective tenant for the building located at 7580 Commerce Lane NE has elected not to pursue a lease at the property. As a result, the conditional use permits for the baling of material in the building and for outside storage is not necessary for this tenant. However, Schmidt Osborne, LLC as owner of the property would like to continue the process of attaining a conditional use permit for outside storage at the property. Attaining this conditional use permit now, which the property has had in the past, would greatly enhance our ability to lease the property. Since it is e�remely likely our next tenant will need outside storage, attaining the permit now will keep us competitive in terms of timing when negotiating with new tenants. We do not want to lose tenants because of potential timing issues related to the conditional use permit process. The outside storage area would be located at the western end of the property within the fenced drive area. It is understood that the any tenant in need of outside storage would need to conform with the City of Fridley's current ordinances relating to outside storage. This would include location, size, height, etc. Should you have any questions or need additional information please call me at 612-850- 2011. Sincerely, �%�� l �'T/ Y ��-� " Robert C.

As a result, we are not pursuing the conditional us permit for outside storage as it relates to thier use. However, as owner, I would like to continue the pursuit of a conditional use permit for outside storage. Obtaining this permit would enhance our ability to market the property and expediate any potential lease negotiations. I understand that we will need to delay any approvals until the Planning Commission meeting on September 21, 2011. I am OK with this and will keep in touch as to what additional materials may be needed for this meeting. Thanks for your help.
