Legal Description of Property: Lot 1, Block 1, Great Northern Industrial Center Public Utilities: Building is connected. Transportation: The property is accessed from the East River Road Service Drive Land Use Application Special Use Permit #12-05 REQUEST The petitioner, Mike Diem of Archnet, Inc., j who is representing the owner of the tp� property, Furniture Mart, is seeking a special �^ use permit to increase the lot coverage Cp qq requirement from 40%to 443%,to allow for 'e99.gE``M +,-699.ryE -694rME ��:S99M'E '1^t:b91.ME the construction of an addition to the north o9.�- E 991WE side of the existing building,which is located 9w..� at 5401 East River Road. The addition will be 'Q'99.ftA MJ. S�PJ r s used for additional furniture showroom space. { HISTORY P The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, t y `�JSzqu e4 voh as are the properties to the south, west and east. The property is bordered by Interstate 13Hp w" w 694 on the north.The property was originally developed in 1969 as a retail and warehouse building that housed Plywood America. In the early 1990's,the business changed to Home Valu,which continued operating their business at this location until they closed their doors in 2010. In 1976 a metal building addition was constructed and in 2003, the entry to the building was remodeled. Several interior modifications were made to the building over the 40 years it was in operation. ANALYSIS LAYOUT PLAN The petitioner is seeking a special use r - ryr permit to increase the lot coverage - --- ,qq �-� ---- �' requirement from 40%to 44%. The proposed project includes demolition of the most northern piece of the existing le building and then construction of a new 15,002 sq.ft. addition along the north Phas' -fig L side of the building. The proposed 15,002 sq.ft. addition will be I constructed in two phases. The first 5 yr h phase is 8,618 sq.ft. in i size and s on the northwest side of the building. The . e _ second phase is 6,384 sq.ft. in size and s $ is on the northeast side of the building. a s Y The reason for the phasing is so work a - 4 w s can start on Phase I while going through t the special use permit process, because fi > the addition of Phase II brings the Q5 5 } _ project over the 40% lot coverage requirement. Phasing the project won't � hold the construction up. The code requires that a special use /� �° a afi.�•rs-� E9 vrees � t permit may be granted as long as the property is meeting all other code requirements. Based on the breakdown of the proposed uses within the building, parking needs for this site after the addition is constructed are 187 parking stalls. The petitioner is showing 187 stalls on the site plan,with 148 stalls to be constructed and 39 stalls as proof of parking. The petitioner has articulated that is unlikely there would be a need to have 187 stalls on site, so staff is allowing them to proof those stalls in order to add additional green space. If the additional stalls are warranted at any time,there is room on site to construct them. The proposed addition complies with all setback requirements. It should be noted that there is a cold storage addition on the east side of the building that is considered an illegal non-conforming structure. A building permit was never issued for that building addition. The petitioner plans to remove the existing walls of the structure with Phase I, and will either completely remove the structure with Phase II or will go through the variance process to recognize the existing non-conforming setback. 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 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 existing illegal non-conforming addition on the east side of the building will either be removed with Phase 11 or the petitioner will seek a variance to recognize the existing non- conforming setback. If variance is approved, the structure shall be built to meet building code requirements with a 3-hour firewall. 4. An as-built survey shall be submitted to City upon completion of Phase ll. 5. Per Section 205 of the Fridley City Code, this Special 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.
