Zoning History: 1986 8� 1987 — Lot platted. 1998 — Building Constructed. Legal Description of Property: Lot 2, Block 1 A8R Addition together with Lot 4, Block 1 A8�R Addition, subject to easement of record. Public Utilities: Building is connected. Transportation: • The Hwy 65 Service Drive provides access to the property. Physical Characteristics: Building, parking lot, fence in area, with minimal landscaping. SUMMARY OF PROJECT The petitioner, Mr. Papa who is representing the Hitching Post, is seeking a special use permit to allow a repair garage (service use) to exist on the subject property, which is located at 7651 Hwry 65. SUMMARY C1F ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request, with stipulations. Repair garages are a permitted special use in the C-3, General Shopping zoning district � CITY COUIdCIL ACTION/ 60 DAY DATE City Council — April 28, 2008 Existing Building Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg SP #08-06 REQUEST The petitioner, Joe Papa, on behalf of the Hitching Post Motorsports, which is located at 7651 Hwy 65, is seeking a special use permit to allow for a repair garage (service use) for the motorcycles and recreational vehicles that are sold as part of the business. ANALYSIS The subject property is zoned C-3, General Shopping and is located on the Hwy 65 Service Drive south of Osbome Road. The existing 140 ft. by 210 ft. building was constructed in 1998 as a restaurant with indoor volleyball courts. Also in that year, a sign variance was approved to allow to increase the height of the free-standing sign from 25 ft. to 50 ft. and to reduce the setback of the sign from the driveway from 10 ft. to 3 ft. The property remained as a restaurant with indoor volleyball until 2005 when the Hitching Post purchased it. Recently City staff discovered that several recreational vehicles were being stored in _: � � `" the fenced in area north of the existing s� rt ��;,�: �F �' � building. After discussions with petitioner, it was determined that this area is primarily � used for customers to drop off their recreational vehicles while they are waiting to be serviced. Once the vehicles have been serviced, the customers then pick them up. The petitioner has also articulated that this area is used to store seasonal Jet Ski's that the,Hitching Post has winterized for customers. The City code allows repair garages as a permitted special use in the C-3, General Shopping zoning district. Repair garages are defined as a place where major repair of motor vehicles is conducted, including engine rebuilding or reconditioning. Though this business doesn't repair motor vehicles, it repairs recreational vehicles which are similar enough to allow the use through a special use permit. . As a result of this special use permit request, staff took a fieldtrip to analyze what other communities require for similar type uses. Though Fridley may have a few small businesses that sell recreational vehicles, there isn't one that is that close of a comparison. Tousley Motorsports in Gem Lake would be considerd a close comparison as it is a similar type business in that it has a service/repair/storage business that associated with their retail use of recreational vehicles. In order to mitigate any negative impacts that may occur as a result of the storage area, staff recommends that the petitioner screen the area in a similar fashion as Tousley Motorsports has. The chain link fence and screening gates that already exists at the Hitching Post wrill be required to be screened, so vehicles are screened from view. Below are pictures of the Tousley Motorsports facility. The commercial zoning code requires that all materials and commercial equipment stored outside be screened so as to not be viewed from the public right-of-way or neighboring properties of different zonings. By requiring the Hitching Post to screen there outdoor service area, they wrill be meeting City code requirements. Similar examples of Fridley properties that received special use permit approvals for a use that allowed them to have an outdoor use or storage are Chopper City Sports, Wal-Mart, and Menards. In the case of Wal-Mart and Menards, those businesses were required to build screening walls that were architecturally compatible with their existing buildings to ensure proper screening. City staff hasn't heard from any neighboring property owners. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this specia/ use permit request, with stipulations. Repair garages are a permitted special use in the C-3, General Shopping zoning district. STIPULATIONS � Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached. 1. Fenced-in area shall be screened in order to comply with code requirements by December 31, 2008. Gate shall also be screened and remain closed, except when being used for access to the yard, to ensure proper screening. 2. Site shall remain free of debris, vehicle parts, and junk (inoperable) motor vehicles, motorcycles and recreational vehicles. 3. Items in the outdoor storage area shall not exceed the height of the fence. 4. Refuse container shall be screened and located in the side or rear yard. 5. Fence material shall be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to installation. osr IVG P N/ N/TC n�oro�sPORrs TO: City of Fridley Community Development From: Hitching Post Motorsports 7651 Highway 65 N Fridley, MN 55432 DATE: March 1, 2008 RE: Special Use Application Enclosed is a Special Use application for the above listed properly.
