REQUESTS
The petitioner, Mr. Voigt, of Voigt's School Bus Service, Inc., is seeking a text amendment to add
language to the M-1, Light Industrial zoning district and the M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district; that
would allow parking of fleet vehicles as an accessory to the principal use on a lot, provided specific code
requirements can be met.
Voigt Bus Service, which is currently located at 1240 Osborne Road, is currently in the process of
purchasing the subject property at 7600 Central Avenue from Anderson Trucking. It's the petitioner's
desire to expand their business onto the subject property.The petitioner plans to store small buses of
approximately 12,000 lbs. on the subject property. The storage of the vehicles will be in the side and
rear yard of the lot, alongside or behind the existing building. The property will be updated by hard
surfacing the area in which the vehicles are parked or driven. The petitioner plans to control the water
run-off by complying with any requirements set-forth by either the City or the Rice Creek Watershed
District. They also plan to add green space to the west side of the lot, which is currently gravel. At
some time in the future, the petitioner's would like to construct a building in this location for the
storage of their buses.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located on Central Avenue, south of Osborne Road. The property is zoned M-1,
Light Industrial. The property north is also zoned M-1 Light Industrial, the property to the south is
zoned M-4 Manufacturing Only, the property to the west is zoned C-3, General Shopping and the
properties across Central Avenue are zoned, R-1 Single Family. The subject property is 4.1 acres is size
and was developed in 1970, with the construction of the existing building. In 1993, the subject property
was replatted along with the properties at 1240 and 1290 Osborne Road.
1
HISTORY
The subject property was developed in
1970, with the construction of the
existing building and based on the
records in the City Council meeting, 10
trucks were allowed to be stored on the
site; that would be used daily for 1246 120 0
business operations. At the time, code
required that the lot be paved to allow u
for parking of the trucks. While doing
industrial and commercial code CD
76W CD
enforcement inspections last summer, 75
93
the City's Community Development
intern discovered that not only was this
property unpaved, there was storage of
over three times the amount of trucks
and trailers that were approved for this
site in 1970. The property owners were
notified by the City and as a result, they
vacated the site. The site has been vacant for approximately a year.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner has initiated a text amendment to add language to the M-1, Light Industrial zoning
district and the M-2, Heavy Industrial, which would allow the parking of fleet vehicles that are used for
the principal business operation as an accessory use, provided specific code requirements can be met.
The City currently doesn't allow parking of fleet vehicles by right and in most instances we would
currently consider the parking of these vehicles "outdoor storage" and would require a business to get a
special use permit.
Over the last several years, staff has been approached by businesses looking to move into Fridley that
have the need to park their fleet vehicles overnight or staff has come across businesses that are already
in operation in Fridley that have some type of parking of fleet vehicles that are used during the day and
parked on site at night. Many of the industrial spaces that exist within the City may attract tenants that
have the need to park fleet vehicles overnight and as long as certain conditions can be met, which are
listed below, staff has determined that these types of uses shouldn't be discouraged.
When Voigt Bus Service approached the City about purchasing the Anderson Trucking site to expand
their operation, staff started evaluating how reasonable this type of accessory use would be for all of
our industrial properties that are located in the M-1, Light Industrial and the M-2, Heavy Industrial
zoning district. We determined that as long as specific code requirements can be met, parking of fleet
vehicles overnight; would be an acceptable accessory use in our M-1 and M-2 zoning districts. Staff has
drafted an ordinance that would allow the parking of fleet vehicles that are related to the principal use
(or business) on site as an accessory use, provided the following conditions can be met. Those
conditions are listed below with the reasons why staff determined the condition was necessary below in
bold.
2
' II
r
((1)) Vehicles shall be licensed and street operable.
Ensuring that vehicles are currently licensed and operable eliminates the opportunity
for junk vehicles to be stored on site. This in turn, will also prevent fleet vehicles from
becoming an outdoor storage issue.
((2)) Vehicles shall be parked on an approved hard surface.
City Code requires vehicles to be parked on an approved hard surface, such as
concrete or asphalt, so this condition is just restating the requirement.
((3)) Vehicles shall be parked in the side or rear yard only.
Requiring the vehicles to be parked in the side or rear yard only will prevent the
vehicles from being parked in the front parking lot which is more visible from the
public right-of-way. City code requires that all storage be limited to the side or rear
yard, so this requirement is expanding off that.
((4)) Vehicles shall be under a gross vehicle weight of 26, 000 lbs.
The petitioner provided staff with weighs of typical buses used for their business.
Based on information provided, a typical school bus weights 26,000 lbs. Though the
petitioner plans to store small buses on the subject property which weigh
approximately 12,000 Ibs, staff determined that the maximum size vehicle we would
think is reasonable to be included in the "fleet vehicle" category should weigh 26,000
lbs. or less. Any vehicle larger would be more appropriately parked or stored in an M-
3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial zoning district.
((S)) The parking stalls dedicated for the parking of fleet vehicles shall be in addition to what
code would require for parking stalls on the site.
City staff wants to ensure that parking demands for the existing uses within the
building are met before additional stalls are dedicated for parking of fleet vehicles.
So, if a particular business is required to have 20 parking stalls based on the office,
manufacturing and storage space within the building, and the business needs to have
5 stalls for fleet vehicles,they would be required to have 25 parking stalls on-site.
((6)) The parking area shall be properly lit, with shielded and downcast lighting and properly
secured.
For security reasons it's important to have the area where fleet vehicles are parked lit
and secured. Securing the area could be through the use of fencing, cameras, alarm
system, etc.
Staff has determined that the above mentioned conditions are necessary for the proposed accessory
use to meet the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance.
Of particular importance when considering a text amendment is determining if the proposed use would
be consistent with the purpose and intent of the zoning district in which it would become allowable,
and whether or not the proposed use would be compatible with other accessory uses within the
district. Accessory uses, are just that, accessory to the principal use of the property. Off-street parking
is considered an accessory use, as is off-street loading facilities and business signs for uses permitted.
Staff would consider the parking of fleet vehicles an extension of the off-street parking accessory use
and as long as the conditions we've laid out can be met. This type of accessory use; would be
considered reasonable to be allowed in the M-1 and M-2 zoning districts, without causing disruption to
the neighboring properties and uses.
3
Staff finds that the extension of the Voigt Bus Service business onto the subject property with the
parking of fleet vehicles as an accessory use would comply with the conditions set forth in the proposed
text amendment. This re-utilization of the subject property will improve the overall condition of the
property, and by approving this text amendment, the City will bring into compliance several other
businesses within the City.
Staff also reviewed the site to ensure that parking demands will be met. The total square footage of the
building is 5,768 sq.ft. Office space within the building will be 1,600 sq.ft. and the remaining area will
be used for storage of buses. Therefore, code would require 8 parking stalls for the building. The
petitioner is providing 30 parking stalls in front of the building, which is well over what code would
allow.
As a result of this request, the petitioner will be required to comply with landscaping requirements for
the subject property. The site will require the installation of a total of 37 trees. Staff has agreed to
allow the petitioner to install 15 trees now with the proposed improvements to the east side of the site
and at which time the proposed grassy area to the west develops; the additional 22 trees will need to
be planted.
OTHER CITIES
City staff contacted the City of Egan as they were recently researching this very same issue. A matrix of
their research as to what other cities allow has been attached for your review.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of the text amendment.
Proposed Accessory Use is consistent with the purpose and intent of the M-1 and M-2 zoning
code.

To: City of Fridley
From: Voigt's School Bus Service Inc.
Subject: Text Amendment M1 Zoning
Date: May 12,2010
Voigt's would like to ask the City of Fridley to consider making a Text Amendment in the current M1
Zoning. We would like to see a phrase that allows overnight exterior parking for routinely used buses.
There are a couple reasons why this is good for the community. Every community in the state has a
need for school transportation. By allowing the school bus company to be centrally located in the
community,it lowers the expenses incurred in extra deadheading of buses from a terminal to the area
being served. Lower expenses keep the tax base under control and ultimately make a better school
system for residents considering the community for a home. It also allows shorter commuting time for
employees who live in the community.
Buses are unlike other transportation vehicles in that they do not take any product home. Our
"product' is our customers. They do not come to the terminal. Trash haulers,dump trucks,freight
haulers all bring product to their terminal overnight. Buses do not.
Buses are required to be 100%ready to go. No disabled vehicles can be used for routes;therefore
there will be no need to keep vehicles that are inoperable on property.
The vehicles are contractually required to be clean. Our vehicles are washed very frequently.
Our heaviest bus is just a little more than half the weight of a traditional semi-trailer unit.
Our diagram illustrates how we would improve the current property at 7600 Central Avenue. We will
add any fencing required by ordinance. We will hard surface the property we are using. We will allow
for ample parking for staff members. We will control the runoff from the hard surfacing according to
the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District.
It is our opinion that this change will be an improvement from the original use of the property at this
address,while allowing a long time resident business continues to provide a service in an efficient
manner.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

SUBJECT: SAV #10-02 — Easement Vacation Request for Faulkner
Construction
INTRODUCTION
As the Planning Commission will recall, Faulkner Construction Inc., was recently
granted a Master Plan Amendment for the properties located at 6352 Central Avenue
and 1271 East Moore Lake Drive, to allow the construction of an assisted living and
memory care facility. The property is proposed to be done in two phases, with the
building on Central Avenue to be constructed first and the building on East Moore Lake
Drive to be constructed second.
PROPOSED VACATION REQUEST
While preparing civil engineering plans for the subject properties, it was determined
that there are utilities that will need to be moved on site and associated portions of
easements that will need to be vacated to make way for the new buildings proposed.
New descriptions of easements will then define exactly what remains on the site for the
drainage and utility easements. This discovery led to discussion and collaboration
between the petitioner's Civil Engineer and the City Engineer to assure that the
buildings could still be built, while allowing enough easement area to remain to serve
both the private property and City interests. Attached you will find an easement exhibit
that shows which portions of the existing easement need to be vacated. Also attached
are the legal descriptions of the portions of the easements to be vacated and the
descriptions of the proposed drainage and utility easement.
The HRA closed on the sale of its property to Faulkner Development on Tuesday July
6th,,2010. On Monday, July 19, 2010, Faulkner will close on the bank financing for the
entire project. It is anticipated that once the land closing happens next week, tree
removal and soil corrections will commence immediately.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
