Ryan Solberg presented the request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow tenant space 7264
– 7266 within the property at 7280 Commerce Circle East to be used for an indoor commercial
recreation facility for Dynamic Offensive Futbol. He provided details on the site description and
history, code requirements, analysis, CUP findings for approval, related findings, and recommended
stipulations.
Commissioner Klemz stated that in previous cases, the Commission has been asked to repeal out-
of-date Special Use Permits (SUPs) and CUPs, and asked if there is a similar recommendation in this
case. Nancy Abts, Senior Planner, replied that staff is not recommending any action on the existing
SUPs for the property.
Acting Chair Meisner asked if an SUP applies to the entire building or just a section. Ms. Abts
replied that staff believe that the SUP would apply to the entire property unless the conditions of
approval state otherwise. She stated that in this new CUP, the conditions are specific about where
the use will be located within the property.
Commissioner Borman asked and received confirmation that the previous SUP did not stipulate a
portion of the building and therefore applied to the entire property, whereas this use would be
specific to the proposed space within the building.
Sam Diatta, spoke in representation of the applicant, he stated that the club is looking to find a
home within Fridley, and he was present to answer any questions.
Commissioner Klemz asked where the current facility is located. Mr. Diatta replied that they are
currently at TCO Sports Facility in Vadnais Heights, but have to relocate and were happy to find the
location in Fridley. He provided additional details on the training program they run.
Acting Chair Meisner asked if the training is focused on kids or adults as well. Mr. Diatta replied
that the main focus is kids, but adults participate as well at times.
Commissioner Borman asked how many participants are at any session. Mr. Diatta explained that it
depends upon the space, but noted a recent session with 25 kids. He stated that during the
summer, they held a camp with about 80 kids. He confirmed that the space is adequate for their
needs.
Acting Chair Meisner asked when the business would hope to be operational in the space. Mr.
Diatta replied that they would anticipate being open in January.
Motion by Commissioner Heuchert to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Borman.

Commissioner Borman commented that this seems to be a great use of the space, and the
Commission agreed.

space. Acting Chair Meisner noted that this would be a commercial use within a space that has
been vacant.
Motionby Commissioner Heuchert recommending approval of Conditional Use Permit, CUP #25-01,
by Mike Bismark and Dynamic Offensive Futbol, for indoor commercial recreation for a private soccer

provided additional details about the business and its operations in three other states. She
presented details of the application, site description and history, Code requirements, and staff
recommendation for approval with stipulations as presented.
Commissioner Brom referenced odor mitigation and asked how that would be measured/enforced.
Ms. Abts provided details on how that is reviewed from the property line. She stated that if the
odor is reasonably offensive at the property line, staff would ask the applicant to come into
compliance. She referenced the experience of the applicant and their plan for odor mitigation.
Acting Chair Meisner asked if there is an objective measure for odor. Ms. Abts replied that there is
not an agreed-upon objective measure for odor. She stated that enforcement would be based
upon complaints and review by City inspectors. She reviewed the steps that would be followed
related to enforcement.

10/15/2025
Acting Chair Meisner asked if this type of business would place a higher burden on public safety.
Ms. Abts replied that public safety did not have any concerns with this proposal. She stated that
the business’ security measures would prevent anyone from wandering in.
Mark Doherty, representing the applicant, stated that they are excited to bring the business to
Fridley, and he was present to answer any questions. He confirmed that they do plan to purchase
the building, and while taking a conservative approach initially, they would eventually plan to
expand into the entire building.
Commissioner Brom noted the 80 anticipated employees and asked if those are new jobs or jobs
being transferred from other states. Mr. Doherty replied that those jobs would be net new to the
community and estimated at full capacity. He provided input on odor mitigation and noted that, in
his experience, if there were odor issues, it would be identified through complaints from neighbors.
He provided details on the odor mitigation for the business.
Commissioner Klemz asked if the business received a cannabis cultivation license from the Office of
Cannabis Management (OCM). Mr. Doherty confirmed that they have received their license
notification from the OCM.
Commissioner Brom asked if the law would need to change to allow the business to build out
phase two. Mr. Doherty replied that the first phase would be 10,000 square feet of cannabis
canopy, and their license would allow up to 30,000 square feet of cannabis canopy.
Commissioner Nealy asked about other approved cannabis cultivation licensing approved in the
state. Mr. Doherty replied that currently there are two approved cultivators in the state, which have
been operational under medical licensing and have been approved to convert their medical sales to
retail. He stated that those cultivators are feeding their own dispensaries and are not supplying
other retailers. He commented that tribal lands have been cultivating to a smaller degree as well.
He provided additional details on the required testing that would be completed by a third party.
Commissioner Nealy asked if the facility would have security. Mr. Doherty confirmed that the
facility would be heavily secured.
Commissioner Klemz asked the anticipated truck traffic for the site. Mr. Doherty replied that would
be minimal as delivery is typically provided through sprinter vans. He anticipated a few trucks per
week.
Acting Chair Meisner asked for more details on the odor mitigation and waste material. Mr.
Doherty provided additional details on the odor mitigation process the company uses. He stated
that the OCM has regulations to be followed for waste management of plant material.

Acting Chair Meisner asked if there would be an extra burden on fire safety and/or public safety.
Mr. Doherty provided additional details on the fire safety of the building, which is already sprinkled.
He stated that it is a highly secured facility, monitored 24/7, and in his experience, there has been
no additional burden on public safety. He noted that the business would not even have a
monument sign. He stated that their products would be wholesaled to Minnesota dispensaries.
Acting Chair Meisner asked if staff has explored whether this type of business would be a target in
terms of security threats. Ms. Abts recognized that this is a new activity, but none of the medical
cultivators or dispensaries have reported any issues. She noted that the OCM has also been
proactive in how they have set up security requirements.
Acting Chair Meisner asked about employee health and safety. Mr. Doherty replied that they take
employee health and safety seriously and provided information on the working conditions.
Motion by Commissioner Borman to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Heuchert.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Acting Chair Meisner declared the motion carried unanimously, and
the public hearing was closed at 8:00 p.m.

mitigation.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 20, 2026
Meeting Type:Planning Commission
Submitted By:Nancy Abts, Senior Planner
Stacy Stromberg, Assistant Community Development Director/HRA
Title: Conditional Use Permit, CUP #26-01, by AMS Wireless on behalf of Public
Safety Towers Company, for a new 125 foot tall telecommunications tower at
1241 72nd Avenue NE
Background
Regulatory History
Cellular towers have been regulated under Fridley’s zoning code since the 1990s. The City
created a list of pre-identified approved locations for cellular towers and added them to a
zoning overlay district. The overlay is now known as the O-3 Telecommunications Overlay.
Towers are permitted by right at properties within the overlay. Locating a tower outside the
overlay district requires a Conditional Use Permit. A Telecommunications Tower CUP is allowed
in M-1, M-2, and M-3 districts and railroad rights-of-way that abut these districts.
The Request
Angela Campbell of AMS Wireless has requested approval of an 125’ Wireless
Telecommunications Tower. The request comes on behalf of Public Safety Towers. The tower will
ultimately have wireless facilities for ATT Wireless and has been designed for at least two
nd
facilities. The tower will be located on property owned by Crysteel, located at 1241 72 Avenue
NE in Fridley. This site is outside the O-3 overlay. The company could not secure a site for a new
tower within the overlay.
rd
The facility will be accessed from 73 Avenue. (The property is a through-lot and has frontage
rdnd
on both 73 and 72 Avenues.) The tower base will be inside an approximately 1200 square
foot fenced enclosure. Additional space is dedicated to a driveway and utility access.
Site Description and History
rdnd
The subject property spans between 73 and 72 Avenues, west of Central Avenue. It is zoned
M-1, Light Industrial. The property has a long history of outdoor storage and environmental
contamination. Contamination has been addressed on an ongoing basis since the 1970s. There
are several storage buildings on the site, dating from the 1960s onwards. In 2014, the property
was replatted to allow sale of an adjoining property.
Code Requirements and Analysis
Parking
Application materials show 54 parking spaces. Based on warehouse use for the existing
buildings, the site has enough parking spaces.
Landscaping and Screening
The property alterations do not require a completely updated landscaping plan. However, the
project prompted review of the existing landscaping. There are 7 dead ash trees on the north
edge of the property that must be replaced with compliant plantings. The replacement trees
must meet minimum size requirements. Because of the small number of trees to be planted,
they must be from different species. No more than 20% of planted trees are from a single genus.
The applicant has not provided a compliant plan for replacing these trees.
Additionally, telecommunications towers must be screened by “existing structures, a brick
decorative wall, or a solid 100% opaque vegetative enclosure, six feet in height.” The site is not
nd
currently screened from the 72 Avenue right-of-way, or from the apartments located south of
nd
72 Avenue.
The application shows barbed wire enclosing the base of the tower, which is not allowed at this
site. Barbed wire is only allowed for sites that abut a railroad right-of-way.
Use
125’ tall tower complies with the zoning code height requirement.

Staff find that the application does not meet the standards for issuing a CUP, without
stipulations. Draft stipulations are provided below.
Stipulations
Staff recommends that if the conditional use permit is approved, the following stipulations be
attached.
1.The telecommunications tower must comply with all requirements of the Federal
Communications Commission, Federal Aviation Administration, and National Electric
Safety Code.
2.Construction, alteration, and expansion of the telecommunications facility all require

b.The tower must be finished with a non-corrosive material, and
c.The tower must be finished so as to be compatible with other buildings and
structures in the area.
4.All ground equipment must be fully screened from public rights-of-way by existing
structures, a brick decorative wall, or a solid 100% opaque vegetative enclosure. When
used for screening purposes, chain link fences must have slats.
5.The telecommunications tower must be secured to protect against trespass, without the
use of barbed or razor wire.
6.Required landscaping must be replaced as required by City Code Chapter 632, including
replacement of the 8 dead ash trees on the north side of the property with 8 trees which
meet the requirements of Chapter 632. Required landscaping must be replaced within
one year of CUP approval.
7.The telecommunications tower must at all times be kept and maintained in good
condition, order and repair.
8.Per 650.01.9.e.1 of the Fridley City Code, this Conditional Use Permit will become null
and void one year after the City Council approval date if work has not commenced or if
the Petitioner has not petitioned the City Council for an extension.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Planning Commission hold a public hearing for Conditional Use Permit,
CUP #26-01.
Staff further recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit, CUP #26-01, with the provided
stipulations.
