Legal Description of Property: Aerial of the site Lot 2, Block 1, North Central Business Park Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg SP #10-12 REQUESTS The petitioner,John Ferrier of CSM Properties, is seeking a special use permit to increase the lot coverage requirement from 40%to 43%,to allow for the construction of an addition to the existing building, which is located at 490 Northco Drive. The addition will be used for office space. Lot coverage became a factor when the petitioner submitted a building permit application for the proposed addition. During the review of the building permit application it came to staff's attention that the existing building is already over the 40 % lot coverage requirement. Expanding the building an additional 1,500 sq. ft. is going to further increase the lot coverage. As a result, staff advised the petitioner to apply for a special use permit. HISTORY AND ANALYSIS �n +r The property is zoned M-2, Heavy T� Industrial, as are the properties to the north, south, west and east. The City of 71Rp AVE 73RD AVE Fridley Public Works Garage, and Locke Park which are zoned P, Public, are also - t' to the south. The business is accessed off of Northco Drive and is south of 73 d s Avenue and east of University Avenue. , r The property was originally developed in r E. 1968 as a manufacturing plant and 5 research and development building. `- Several additions have been constructed ., r to that original building since 1968. In �f x 1996, the address was changed from ' 50473rd Avenue to 490 and 494 Northco Drive. A variance was granted in 1998 La to reduce the side yard setback from 20 feet to 5.4 feet to allow an existing loading dock to be enclosed. In 2000, the property was replatted to allow new industrial development. The manufacturing building currently has two occupants with two addresses. Carter Day(494 Northco Drive) occupies the northern end of the building, and has been there since 1970. Kwik File (490 Northco Drive) occupies the southern end, and has been there since 1987. Carter Day is the business seeking the special use permit to allow the construction of the building addition. The petitioner is seeking a special use permit to increase the lot coverage requirement from 40%to 43%. As stated above, the existing building is already over the 40% lot coverage requirement at 43%. The proposed 1,500 sq. ft. office addition will bring the total lot coverage to 43.3%, overall a very small change. However, requesting this special use permit now will bring the property into compliance. The code requires that a special use permit may be granted as long as the property is meeting all other code requirements. All other code requirements with the exception of parking are being met. U Based on the breakdown of uses within the building, which was provided by the petitioner, parking — --- j needs for this site after the addition is constructed is 231 parking stalls. The petitioner has stated that they have 128 parking stalls. As a result, they fall - short of meeting the code - I CARTER OAS requirement by 103 stalls. Last year — _-- - « R k OoRw. ! when the petitioner was going PR''DSE' I CAR—ER DAY through the special use permit process Ffor outdoor storage, staff met with representatives from both Carter Day = _ and Kwik File. During that meeting it was determined that Carter Day has 1 -�- graI_E i shift with a maximum number of b: yF, - employees of 115. Kwik File runs 2 i== shifts with a maximum of 55 employees there at one time. Between the 2 businesses a maximum of 170 employees would be there at a 11114 11 1111111111111111111111111111'? -- given time. Carter Day has a parking �: �ANM'_7 Jw[6 PUC4�'pNJ:'i4'GRApJi1C1 ofA(;.E agreement with the Target --�..._ -� IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 111111 Distribution Center to the east, giving i. l_ �- 1.11W W 1.111 1 1 1 1 1 I I_I,I I I I I_I I.I I I I I I I I I I them access to 100 more parking stalls. The petitioner has also agreed to proof 134 parking stalls on their site, in the event that additional parking is warranted,the land area is available for them to install the parking. Staff has determined that this is an agreeable solution. Carter Day has been located here since 1970 and Kwik File since 1987. To staff's knowledge parking has never been an issue on this site. City staff hasn't heard any comments from neighboring property owners. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as an increase in lot coverage for a one story building from 40%to 50%is a permitted special use in the M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district, provided all other code requirement are met, subject to stipulations. STIPULATIONS I Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. Any future expansion of the building will require special use permit review. 2. Any future expansion of the building will require a new parking analysis. 3. The 60 ft. no-build zone on the east side of the building shall remain free and clear of any storage for necessary fire protection. PROJECT NARRATIVE North Central I Business Center Special Use Permit October 19,2010 General Description of Request CSM is requesting a special use permit to allow 43% lot coverage at the North Central I facility at 490-494 Northco Drive. This permit is required to accommodate Carter-Day's 1,500 sf office expansion. However, the current building is already at 43% lot coverage so the small addition will have little affect on the building lot coverage percentage. An attached site plan shows the proposed addition as well as the building lot coverage calculations. Tenant Description The North Central I building consists of two tenants. Carter Day occupies 83,310 square feet on the northern end of the building plus a proposed 1,500 sf office addtion. Carter Day has been in business since 1888 and has been at the North Central I facility since 1970. Their principal business is the design, manufacture and sale of capital goods. They specialize in sizing, separating and size reduction equipment sold to the seed, grain, food processing and plastics industries. The second tenant is KwikFile. They occupy 106,358 square feet on the southern end of the building. KwikFile was established in 1964 and moved to the Fridley location in 1987. KwikFile designs and manufactures high-density, office product solutions. They distribute their products through multiple facilities throughout the United States. KwikFile is a leader in the specialty furniture market by the standard products they offer. In addition, they produce custom designs by customer request. Timing/phasin We are requesting approval of the special use permit to allow the increased allowable building lot coverage as outline above and on the attached site plan. Currently, the City of Fridley is reviewing permit plans for Carter-Day's 1,500 sf office addition. We believe this request should be approved because the 1,500 sf addition does not substantially increase the percentage of lot coverage, as it will increase from 43.0%to 43.3%. In addition,the office expansion will greatly improve the look of the building.

SP #10-11 RE UEST Terry Rothenbacher, of Carlson Professional Services, who is representing William Fogerty, the owner of the Columbia Arena property at 7011 University Avenue, is requesting a special use permit to convert the existing building into an independent living, assisted living and memory care facility. SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY The subject property is located on the east side of the University Avenue Service Drive, south of 73rd Avenue. Columbia Arena was originally constructed in 1968. In 1974, a variance was granted to reduce the rear yard setback from 25 ft. � to 13 ft. to allow the construction of an addition to J LW AVEI l 73RD AVE the building that would allow for an additional sheet of ice. As a result of the variance approval, the addition was constructed in 1975. Several interior modifications have been made to the building over the years. Before the arena was constructed in 1968,the { subject property was zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. a 11 4,T AVE When Anoka County purchased the property and constructed the ice arena in 1968,the property converted to a P, Public Facilities zoning. In 2005, Anoka County sold the property to the Minnesota Youth Sports Association (MYSA). In 2007, MYSA Q made a development deal with Kraus Anderson on y the Columbia Arena property. Krause Anderson in turn sold the arena to a private investor named William Fogerty. Prior to the sale, the MYSA _ ti representative asked the City what they saw as future development potential for the site. Staff explained that the site is zoned P, Public Facilities and that zoning will remain as long as the land is publicly owned. Once sold to a private entity, the zoning would revert back to its pre-public status. When the property was sold to a private entity, the property reverted to its M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning. In 2009,the subject property was granted a rezoning from M-2, Heavy Industrial to R-3, Multi- Family. A preliminary plat, a special use permit for a senior living facility and a special use permit for a medical clinic were also approved at the same time. The development didn't end up coming to fruition, however, the rezoning to R-3, Multi-Family still stands. PROPOSED PROJECT The existing Columbia Arena building will be converted into an 84 unit senior living project. Of the 84 units, 36 will be independent units, 31 will be assisted living units and 16 will be memory care units. There will be 1 guest unit as well.

ANALYSIS City Code allows independent living, assisted living, and nursing homes as a permitted special use in an R-3, Multi-Family zoning district, provided that code requirements related to building, site requirements and parking are met. As stated above, the petitioner is proposing to convert the existing Columbia Arena into an 84- unit senior living project. The existing building is 69,200 sq. ft. in size. The development will include 36 independent living units, 31 assisted living units, and 161 memory care units. The proposal includes a total of 81 parking stalls, of which 18 of those will be covered garages. City Code would require 61 parking stalls for the proposed project based on parking ratios used for independent living, assisted , living facilities and nursing homes. m 7151 7151 The petitioner is providing 81 total a parking stalls,with 18 enclosed ° G ^ garage stalls and 63 surface '' ,r parking stalls, therefore; meeting - Tse auF,ve code requirements. a! Since this project is 2-stories, the . R-3, Multi-Family zoning regulations would require a minimum lot area of 15,000 sq. ft. z for four units and an additional 1,000 sq. ft. for each unit over four. 7D11 As a result, 95,000 sq. ft. in lot area is required for this project. The subject property is 615,502 sq. ft. (14.13 acres), so the lot size is well over what our code would allow for this many units. The petitioner does anticipate constructing an addition to the existing building at some point in the future to allow for additional residential units. As staff understands it, it is also the petitioner's/property owner's hope that eventually there be more development on this site whether that is through additional residential development or medical/retail/office development that is not clear at this time. At which point additional development would occur on this site,the special use permit would need to be amended. City code requires that buildings within the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district not exceed 65 ft. in height, when measured from grade to the mid-span of the roof. The existing building and the proposed window/skylight enhancements to the building will comply with that code requirement. The proposed project is in-compliance with lot coverage and all setbacks requirements, except for the east side yard setback (further explained below). Along with this special use permit request, the petitioner is also seeking a variance from the Appeals Commission to reduce the east side yard setback from 15 ft.to 12 ft.to recognize the placement of the existing buildings. The petitioner is showing a proposed building addition on the south side of the east building. That addition will also encroach into the side yard setback at 14.4 ft. at its closest point. As a result, that variance was also being heard by the Appeals Commission.The Appeals Commission unanimous recommended approval to the City Council at their November 3, 2010 meeting. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit, with stipulations. ■ Independent Living, Assisted Living, Nursing Homes and Homes for the elderly are a permitted special use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district. STIPULATIONS 1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction. 2. The petitioner shall meet all Building code, Fire code, and ADA requirements. 3. The petitioner shall comply with all sign code requirements for installation of new signage on the property. 4. Landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of building permit. 5. The petitioner shall receive Rice Creek Watershed District approvals prior to issuance of a building permit. 6. City engineering staff to review and approve grading and drainage plan prior to issuance of building permits. 7. If the proposed development is modified to be used for units other than, independent living, assisted living and memory care units, a new special use permit will need to be obtained. JAY P.

This old abandoned ice skating arena will be converted into an Atrium style Seniors Living Campus consisting of eighty three units plus one guest suite. The original building is composed of the original arena constructed in 1968. along with its second.arena space added in 1974. A new heavy timber porte cochere will welcome visitors with a covered drop-off area that leads to a new porch surrounding the front of the building. The interior perimeter of the large arenas will be lined with two stories of housing units leaving generous central Courtyard atrium spaces. The Great Greeting Court will welcome guests after they pass through the Reception and Parlor areas. This court will soar to a height of about 42 feet and will feature the existing seven giant wood bowstring arches, an arcade of decorative masonry columns, and balcony walkway around the atriums featuring a decorative guardrail. Natural over story lighting will enter through windows located in the gable ends, the three south facing and the three north facing roof gables. A monumental masonry fire place column provides 4 gas fireplaces and makes a division between the Great Greeting Court and the Great Dining Court areas. The atrium of the east 1974 addition will feature two large skylight planting areas and a two story plus curtain wall opening on the south elevation of this 30 foot high space. Grand stair cases are features in each court area, Public "Main Street" services will be located in the west side of the building including a parlor, reception, screen porch, beauty/barber, general store, library, activity space, meeting space, staff lounge, staff offices, mail and restrooms, and laundry facilities. Because of the larger foot print of this building there will be two elevators serving the two floors, one located near the "Main Street"entry of the west side of the building, and the second will be located in the center of the two existing arena buildings. A full service kitchen with food storage areas will provide meals. Centered in the building is a Re: Columbia Seniors, 7011 University Avenue, Fridley MN Page 2 11/9/2010 private dining room, a cinema, computer, fitness area, laundry and restrooms. All of these spaces are conveniently located close to the second elevator. The center area of the building will house offices for in home care services. Services and mechanical spaces, delivery, and trash will be located on the north side of the building central link area similar to the previous ice arena.The plans include a full NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system for fire protection. An exterior three car slab on grade garage will provide space for building and site maintenance. Six additional exterior three car slab on grade parking garages will provide 18 enclosed parking space for up to 36 Independent Living units. These Independent Living units will share the same features of the other 31 Assisted Living units thereby giving the building management the flexibility to shift locations of individual units as becomes the resident's and the management's convenience and availability. The program will accommodate 16 Memory Care units located in a secure suite with service areas, interior and exterior protected wander areas. These spaces combined with active and passive activity areas and parlors will provide memory care residents a sense of community. Exterior amenities include walking paths connecting directly to the park system located at the south side of the site. Site improvements including removal of unused existing parking lots and repaving of the new drives,new landscaping and screened parking areas will welcome visitors and passers-bv alike. The new porte cochere, porches, and building fenestrations will reframe the image of the building by addressing its new use as a senior care campus.
