Existing Zoning: R-1, Single Family Size: 50,540 sq. ft. 1.16 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant lot Surrounding Land use & Zoning: N: Single Family Home & R-3 E: Singel Family Home & R-1 S: Single Family Home & R-1 W: Apartment Building & R-3 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Existing and Future Land Use Plan designate the property for single family — Request to change.

Legal Description of Property: Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Valley Addition. Public Utilities: The new structure will need to be connected to Citv water and sewer services. Transportation: The new structure will be accessed off Lucia Lane. Physical Characteristics: Large tree -covered single-family lot, with wetlands on the north side. Summary of Request: The petitioner, Natasha Lawrence, is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the future land use of the property at 6677 Lucia Lane from Single Family Residential to Multi - Family Residential. Staff Recommendation: City staff recommends approval of the comprehensive plan amendment, with stipulations. City Council Action/60 Day Action Date: City Council — October 14, 2024 60 Day Date — October 14, 2024 Staff Report Prepared by Stacy Stromberg Written Report - The Request The petitioner, Natasha Lawrence is the owner of the property at 6677 Lucia Lane, and is requesting two land use approvals. A Comprehensive (Comp) Plan Amendment Request — The 2040 Comp Plan designates the future land use of the property as single-family residential, and the petitioner is requesting an amendment to change the land use designation to Multi -Family. A Rezoning Request — The subject property is currently zoned R-1, Single Family and the petitioner is requesting to have the property rezoned to R-3, Multi -Family. Site Description and History The subject property is on the east side of Lucia Lane, next to the newly constructed cul-de-sac. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family as are the properties to the east and south. The properties to the north and west are zoned R-3, Multi -Family. The subject property was originally part of 6663 �I 17JV Lucia Lane. In 2018, the 6663 was subdivided to create parcel three single-family lots. The - : t, petitioner purchased the two '}• .• .' .� - .. vacant lots in 2023, and then se..w ��� ;- IV combined the two lots into one Gfi7� � large lot. The petitioner had r., � ,. j' , planned to construct a new single-family house on the - "" 6663 3j ''� - property, but has since decided 4 A ;"Ow Comprehensive Plan Analysis * not to, and pursue these land use requests. The plans submitted with the rezoning request show that the petitioner would like to construct a duplex on the subject property. The 2040 Comp Plan's Future Land Use Map designates the site as "Single -Family Residential." Single -Family Residential Land Use is defined as, "Lots or parcels containing single family detached housing, including manufactured homes, 1-4 units/acre." The petitioner is requesting to modify that designation to "Multi -Family Residential," which applies to "Lots or parcels containing multiple dwelling units, such as duplexes, twin homes, townhomes, quad homes, and apartment complexes, from 9-40 units/acre..." This property was likely guided for Single -Family Residential because there is a single-family house on the lot (6663 Lucia Lane) this lot was originally created from, and the lots to the north, east, and south also have single-family homes on them. Despite the single-family use of the properties to the north, the properties are zoned R-3, Multi -Family, as is the apartment building property across Lucia Lane. The Comp Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of the property is in conjunction with the request to rezone the property from R-1, Single Family to R-3, Multi -Family. The Housing Chapter within the Comp Plan notes that the City is lacking in a wide variety of housing types. Over the last 5 years, the City has seen the construction of several new multi -story apartment buildings. The housing type proposed with this application has not recently been built in Fridley. The application helps support a variety of housing options for resident. Lastly, amendments to the Comp Plan need to be approved by the City Council and the Metropolitan (Met) Council. The Met Council considers this a minor amendment and therefore has waived the requirement to notify neighboring jurisdictions. Rezoning Analysis The City's zoning ordinance and official zoning map are the mechanisms that help the City achieve the vision for the City, which is then established within the Comp Plan. The City has discretion to "rezone" property from one district to another as long as the zoning meets the intent of the Comp Plan. Additionally, state law prevents "spot zoning." "Spot zoning" is defined as zoning changes with establish a use classification inconsistent with surrounding uses and create an island of nonconforming uses within a larger zoned district. To approve a rezoning, there must be similarly zoned land adjacent to the properly. The apartment building property to the west is zoned R-3, Multi - Family as are the properties to the north, therefore, this request to rezone is consistent with the zoning on neighboring properties. The plans submitted with this rezoning application are to construct a duplex on the south F81 end of the property. However, once the property is rezoned to R-3, Multi -Family, a larger building could be constructed based on the large lot size. Any new building constructed on the property will need to comply with all code requirements, related to setbacks, parking, landscape and stormwater treatment and wetland protections. A wetland delineation was completed in 2021, and the submitted map shows the location of existing wetlands on the property. Wetlands limit the buildable area of the lot. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Planning Commission hold public hearings for Comp Plan Amendment, CPA #24-01, and Rezoning, ZOA #24-01. Staff recommends approval of the Comp Plan Amendment CPA #24-01 to change the future land use guidance for the site, with stipulations. Staff recommends approval of the Rezoning to R-3, Multi -Family Zoning District, ZOA #24-01, with stipulations. Stipulations Staff recommends the following stipulations on the Comp Plan Amendment, CPA #24-01: 1. The City Council's approval of the Rezoning from R-1, Single Family to R-3, Multi -Family. 2. The City Council's approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is contingent upon the Metropolitan Council's approval of said amendment. Staff recommends the following stipulations on Rezoning, ZOA #24-01. 1. All necessary permits shall be obtained prior to construction. 2. A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted and approved by the City's engineering staff prior to issuance of any building permits, to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties. 3. The property owner at time of building permit application shall provide proof that any existing wells or individual sewage treatment systems located on the site are properly capped or removed. 4. The property owner at time of building permit application shall pay the required park dedication fee of $1,500 per dwelling unit. 5. The property owner at time of building permit application shall pay all water and sewer connection fees for the new building.

Motion by Commissioner Borman to open the public hearing to consider the rezoning. Seconded by Commissioner Brom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was opened at 7:07 p.m. Ms. Stromberg presented a request for a Comprehensive Plan and Rezoning request from Natasha Lawrence, the applicant. She reviewed the current Comprehensive Plan designation, noting that the request would change the designation from single-family to multi -family, with a similar change to the zoning. She provided background information on the property and stated that the applicant would like to construct a duplex on the property. She provided the analysis of the Comprehensive Plan amendment and Rezoning requests, stating the staff recommends approval of the requests as presented and reviewed the suggested stipulations. Chair Hansen commented that it would appear the garages would be oriented towards the rear of the structure and asked if that is correct. Ms. Stromberg believed that it how the structure would be oriented but noted that the applicant could provide additional details. LuAnn Throndson, 6620 Lucia Lane, commented that she has lived on this street for 40 years and the subject property has not been well maintained since the property was purchased, noting that trash and that the snow is not cleared. She commented that when the property was sold, the residents were told that the property would remain as a single-family home property. She believed that if the property were cleared out better it would be more appealing for a single-family home to be constructed. She stated that there are a lot of Spanish speaking residents on Lucia Lane and stated that perhaps they did not understand the notice that was mailed. Natasha Lawrence, applicant, stated that they purchased the property about one year ago with the intention to construct a single-family home that they would live in. She stated that they cleared it out, cleaned it up and were told by their builder that they could not build their home on the property. She stated that their property is vacant land and therefore there is not anywhere to clear snow from, noting that they would need to construct their own driveway. John Lawrence, applicant, stated that the property to the south has the driveway with the grill and desk out at the end of the driveway and clarified that is not their property. He stated that they Planning Commission 9/18/2024 Minutes Page 3 cleaned up the trees and planned the layout for the home they hoped to construct. He stated that they could not obtain financing for the project because of the large payment that would be necessary out of their pocket and because the home would not be valued at its cost because of the surrounding area. Mrs. Lawrence replied that they wanted to live on the property in the home they had hoped to build. She asked that the Commission consider this request for a duplex on the property. Mr. Lawrence commented that they liked the trees and wooded setting with the wetlands, which is why they chose the lot. Commissioner Klemz asked if there is an existing structure that would be removed as part of the project. Mrs. Lawrence commented that there was a previous garage that had been removed and the foundation remains. Commissioner Brom asked for clarification on why the duplex would be allowed versus the single- family home. Mrs. Lawrence commented that they can build the duplex for the same price as the single-family home, and they could either rent both units or live in one unit and rent the other. She explained that either option would allow them to recoup some of the costs to build. Chair Hansen asked it the orientation is correct to have the garages facing away from the street. Mrs. Lawrence commented that the goal would be for the garages to face the street. Mr. Lawrence stated that the existing home at 6663 Lucia Lane has a long driveway that cuts in with the garage facing the neighbor, while their plan would be for everything to face the street. He stated that he did do some cleanup work on the property, and he could tell that people were cutting paths to dump their compost and lawn clippings. He stated that you can also tell that the wind blows trash that collects in the treed area. He stated that they do not live on the land, which makes it hard to prevent trash or lawn clippings from collecting on the site. Ms. Throndson stated that the Islamic University is located at the end of the street and perhaps the applicants noticed how much traffic was coming down the street when they decided not to build a single-family home. She commented that the property has not been completely cleared and trash has remained on the site for at least six to eight months. She stated that two single-family homes would be better suited than a duplex. She noted the number of apartment buildings and duplexes that already exist in that area and would prefer to have single-family homes. Planning Commission 9/18/2024 _ Minutes Page 4 Chair Hansen noted there are three emails that have been received from other residents on Lucia Lane expressing concerns with the rezoning (attached). John Vardas, 6546 Lucia Lane, stated that he would agree with a duplex but would not want anything above that as there are already three apartment buildings in that area. He stated that with the cul- de-sac already limits traffic and would not want to add more than a duplex. He stated that without a size limitation, he would think that once the rezoning is completed an apartment building would be constructed instead. Commissioner Klemz recognized the difference between R-1 and R-3 and asked if stipulations can be added that would limit the number of units that could be constructed on the property. Ms. Stromberg stated that with a rezoning it would approve a multi -family use and the Code is dependent upon lot size as to the number of allowed units. She was unsure if a size requirement could be stipulated and therefore would need to check with legal counsel. Commissioner Klemz stated that he understands the limitation of the wetlands on the site, but a wetland can also be filled if credits are purchased. Commissioner Borman asked if there is a zoning district between R-1 and R-3 that would limit tojust a duplex. Ms. Stromberg stated that there is an R-2 district but because there is not another R-2 property is this area, an R-3 zoning would be a better fit. She clarified that R-2 would allow a duplex. She noted that the buildable area of the lot would be limited because of the wetlands as they exist today. Chair Hanson commented that in order to fill a wetland there would need to be a demonstrated benefit other than economic reasons alone. He stated that the soil conditions in that part of the property would make it very impractical to build on that area. Motion by Commissioner Klemz to close the public hearing to consider the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Seconded by Commissioner Heuchert. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was closed at 7.32 p.m. Motion by Commissioner Klemz to close the public hearing to consider the Rezoning. Seconded by Commissioner Heuchert. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was closed at 7.•33 p.m. Planning Commission 9/18/2024 Minutes Page 5 Commissioner Borman asked what would prohibit the City from rezoning to R-2. It was noted that would be considered spot zoning as that zoning does not exist in this area. Chair Hansen noted that they would still need to build something that fits into the surrounding area. Ms. Stromberg commented that there is an apartment build across the street. She stated that was built years ago and therefore does not have stormwater treatment or likely sufficient parking and therefore having a structure of that size would not seem feasible on the subject property. She stated that the applicant is proposing to build a duplex but once the rezoning is completed, something larger could be constructed but it would need to meet all the requirements of the City. Commissioner Brom commented that his concern would be with contiguous use, as he would think the street is a buffer from the apartment use. He recognized the clear opposition of the existing residents to having another apartment. He stated that all the properties on this side of the street are zoned R-1. Commissioner Heuchert stated that it seems reasonable to allow a duplex on the property, as it is between single-family and larger multi -family and therefore it would seem a likely transition. He stated that he would not want to see something larger than a duplex on the property. He asked if that stipulation could be placed on the recommendation of approval and the opinion of the City Attorney could be gained prior to the City Council meeting. Ms. Stromberg stated that she would be comfortable adding that condition and could verify if that would be allowed prior to moving it to the City Council meeting if the Commission wanted to proceed with that. Commissioner Borman stated that the applicant purchased the property with the intent to build a single-family home but then changed to a duplex. He stated that perhaps once the rezoning is completed, they would change again to a fourplex. He stated that he could only support this is there is a stipulation that only a duplex could be constructed. Chair Hansen agreed that a duplex would be a good fit for the lot and did not feel an additional condition would be needed as the size of the lot would dictate what could be built on the property. He understood the concern of the residents about what could be built on the property but noted that the property was listed for sale and any resident could have purchased the lot if they did not want to see it developed. He stated that he is comfortable moving forward, acknowledging that there would be many restrictions that would come into play as for what could ultimately be built on the property. Commissioner Klemz agreed with the comments of the Chair. Commissioner Borman asked where the additional stipulation would be placed, limiting construction to a duplex. Ms. Stromberg replied that would seem most appropriate for the rezoning if that is desired. Planning Commission 9/18/2024 Minutes Page 6 Chair Hansen asked the opinion of the additional stipulation. Commissioner Brom commented that it does not seem enforceable. Commissioner Klemz stated that the opinion of the City Attorney would ultimately be needed, and it would be the ultimate decision of the City Council as to whether that stipulation is necessary. Motion by Commissioner Klemz, to recommend approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, CPA #24-01 to Change the Future Land Use from Single Family Residential to Multi -Family Residential for the Property Located at 6677 Lucia Lane N.E. with Stipulations. Seconded by Commissioner Heuchert. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chair Hansen declared the motion carried unanimously. 3.

(Ward 2) Background The 2040 Comprehensive (Comp) Plan's Future Land Use Map designates the site as "Single -Family Residential." Single -Family Residential Land Use is defined as, "Lots or parcels containing single family detached housing, including manufactured homes, 1-4 units/acre." Natahsa Lawrence (Applicant) is requesting to modify that designation to "Multi -Family Residential," which applies to "Lots or parcels containing multiple dwelling units, such as duplexes, twin homes, townhomes, quad homes, and apartment complexes, from 9-40 units/acre..." This property was likely guided for Single -Family Residential because there is a single-family house on the lot (6663 Lucia Lane) this lot was originally created from, and the lots to the north, east, and south also have single-family homes on them. Despite the single-family use of the properties to the north, the properties are zoned R-3, Multi -Family, as is the apartment building property across Lucia Lane. The Comp Plan Amendment to change the land use designation of the property is in conjunction with the request to rezone the property from R-1, Single Family to R-3, Multi -Family. The Housing Chapter within the Comp Plan notes that the City of Fridley (City) is lacking in a wide variety of housing types. Over the last 5 years, the City has seen the construction of several new multi -story apartment buildings. The housing type proposed with this application has not recently been built in Fridley. The application helps support a variety of housing options for residents. The Planning Commission held a public hearing for CPA #24-01 at their September 18, 2024, meeting. The Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The motion carried unanimously.
