Land Use Application Special Use Permit #13-04 REQUEST The petitioner, Bob Gruber, of Scenic Sign Corp.,who is representing Walmart,the Install price sign. owner of the Sam's Club at 8150 University Avenue, is requesting a special use permit to allow an electronic gas pricing sign to be installed on the east side of the canopy that is over the existing gas pumps. The proposed electronic gas pricing sign will be 12.5 sq. w ft. in size. An existing 18.99 w sq.ft. Sam's Club sign already exists on the canopy for a total of 31.49 sq.ft. of signage on the east side of the canopy. SITE DESCRITPTION &HISTORY The subject property is zoned C-3, General Shopping as is the Bachman property to the north. The properties west and south are zoned industrial and the property to the east is a McDonald's that is zoned C-2, General Business. The property is located on the corner of 81St Avenue and University Avenue Service Road. The existing warehouse building was constructed in 1986. In 1993 and in 1994, Sam's Auto Buying Program received special use permit approvals to allow sale and display of new and/or used motor vehicles by automobile agencies. The property was replatted in 1997 to allow the creation of the Bachman's lot to the north. A building addition was also constructed in 1997. A permit was issued last year to do a major remodel of the existing building,which included construction of a new canopy area in the front of the building for loading of merchandise. A special use permit was issued in 2012 to allow motor vehicle fuel dispensing service. As a result,the existing kiosk building and six fueling pumps that are covered by a canopy,were constructed. The petitioner received sign permit approval also in 2012 to install the Sam's Club signs on the canopy. At that time, Sam's Club wasn't sure what they were going to need for a gas pricing sign. They have since decided to go with a electronic changeable gas pricing sign,which requires a special use permit. CODE REQUIREMENTS Electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in any zoning district, except. residential, provided the message doesn't change more often than once every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be in conformance with the sign requirements for the zoning district, in which the property is located. The subject property is zoned, C-3 General Shopping, which requires that wall signs can't exceed 15 1 L times the square root of the length of the wall. The maximum allowed signage on the east side of the canopy is 140 sq. ft. An existing 18.99 sq. ft., Sam's Club sign already exists on the canopy and the new electronic gas pricing sign is 12.5 sq. ft. The total sign area for both signs is 31.49 which is well under what code would allow for signage. City staff hasn't heard from any neighboring property owners. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit as electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in the commercial zoning district, provided the sign complies with Code requirements, subject to stipulations. STIPULATIONS City Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following stipulations be attached. 1. The petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing any signage on site. 2. Message on L.E.D. sign shall not change more often than authorized under Section 214.07 of the Fridley City Code. 3. Message on L.E.D. sign shall never flash or have motion that may distract vehicular traffic in the area. 4. 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. 2 54.60-1 54.25^, I' 50.25^ it NL A li i o e m o N O ri o t o M ROUTED OUT, SHOW-THRU .080 ALUMINUM FACE, ILLUMINATED AND BACKED-UP WITH PLEXIGLAS s; .....____...._,-...'.___'_._.._......__—... ___._...._.. _..._........ ....._.._40.38^ .,w ?f�. di F p� •••• PRICEVISION@ FMD20-CANO MAXIMUM CURRENT LOAD. 5 AMPS!

Land Use Application TOD Master Plan'#13-01 THE REQUEST John Allen of Industrial Equities LLP, is requesting a Transit Orientated District(TOD) Master Plan for the property located at 5601 East River Road. +< This property is zoned C-3, General Shopping; however, because it is within the TOD ' Overlay District, a TOD Master Plan needs to be R4`" approved by the City Council ` before development can start on this site. The petitioner is asking for TOD Master Plan approval for the subject property to allow E a phased project. Phase 1 will consist of the construction of a (1) level N speculative office/warehouse " NE building along the east side 94 N 6 of the property. Proposed additional phases could include two (5) level professional office buildings with underground parking, a connected (2) level common core and a parking structure; and a 120 unit multi-family/senior housing development with underground parking. The TOD Overlay zoning allows for a mixed use development without requiring conversion of the underlying commercial zoning. SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The subject property is located on the northeast corner of Interstate 694 and East River Road. It is bordered by the railroad tracks to the east and an industrially zoned property to the north. The property was zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial from the late 1950's until 2009. The property was originally developed in 1969, when an office/warehouse building was constructed. In 1969, the site served as the headquarters, research, and production facility for LaMaur Inc.,who manufactured toiletries and cosmetics. Several additions were added to that original building, which eventually made the building approx. 450,000 sq.ft. in size. In 1999,Tiro Industries, Inc., purchased the property from LaMaur Inc.,and they were in business at this location until May of 2005. Since the time it was known that Tiro Industries, Inc. would be vacating the building,the owners had very little success in attracting industrial tenants to occupy the building and believed that,with industrial trends changing and manufacturing users few,the property would be much more attractive to tenants as a commercial property. Tiro Industries Inc., sold the property to JLT Group in 2005 and 1LT Group applied for a rezoning from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-3, General Shopping. The owners didn't have a commercial tenant identified to occupy the site however,they were asking the City Council to consider the rezoning so they could market the site to potential commercial buyers. Once a user or users were identified for the site,the rezoning was to come back to the City Council for second reading of the ordinance. The City Council approved the first reading to rezone the property in September 12, 2005 and set a 24-month timeframe for the rezoning to come back for second reading. After the 24-month timeframe had expired, an 18 month extension was approved to give the owner additional time to come before the City Council for second reading. The Council eventually approved a commercial/retail master plan for the site with the commercial rezoning in February of 2009. Once that was approved, if the plan varied in overall footprint size, by 10% or more, it would come back to the City Council for further review.Otherwise,the Master Plan that was approved, including a portion of the 57th Avenue extension,was the plan that was to be built. Market indicators soon made it clear that this site and approved master plan would need to be re-evaluated. The window closed on the sale of the land to the interested retailer. Instead, Sam's and Wal-Mart rebuilt their stores in Fridley, both in their current location.Subsequent to that decision,the market for big box completely dried up and real estate investment/analyst folks began to predict at least a 10- 15 year dry spell before the market would come back to large retail centers like the one envisioned.Too many centers didn't make it and are now sitting empty, needing to be refilled or re-purposed.Also,without certainty of when a 57th Avenue connection may happen,the market looking at this site was very limited. The property owner filed for bankruptcy and eventually the bank holding the mortgage on this site insisted that the land price be reduced and that the land would then be sold.This opened the door to many potential prospects,the majority of which wanted to purely develop industrial warehouse alone.We had a large developer who indicated they placed an offer on the property contingent on City approval of two large industrial warehouses to fill the site.After evaluating their use against the TOD overlay, staff made it known to the developer that they could not support a purely industrial warehouse proposal. John Allen and his Industrial Equities Group was then successful in negotiating purchase of the property and has committed to working with the City and the development market to bring a mix of uses and TOD design to the site to make the project work for all. He met several times with staff and proposed the current development of a mixture of uses. An extremely important aspect to what develops on this site also has to do with the Northstar Transit Tax Increment Finance District;that the Minnesota legislature has allowed the City of Fridley the Authority to create.This development will be within that district and would be the first project to produce increment for infrastructure improvements in the Transit TIF District. The City Council will hold a public hearing on May 6, 2013, regarding the creation of that district. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The petitioner has submitted a TOD Master Plan request for the property located at 5601 East River Road. The property is approx. 27 acres in size and the Master Plan was developed with the City's desire to extend 57`h Avenue from Main Street through the subject property to East River Road. In order to allow for the 57th Avenue extension, 68,921 sq.ft. of land area will need to be dedicated as right-of-way easement from this property. This square footage doesn't include the land area for the 57th Avenue extension that is owned by US Corrugated which is north of the subject property. Multiple easements on the property, including sanitary sewer and Xcel Energy easements, limit how the site can be master planned. The petitioner envisions the property developing with three main development areas. 2 The first area that will be developed is along the BNSF railroad tracks on the east side of the property. The petitioner is proposing to construct a 134,192 sq.ft.one- Aa story office-warehouse building. The front of {. the building will face the 15 newly constructed EM-77 "development parkway" that will run north and south through the subject property. The service yard for deliveries will face the railroad tracks and a landscape buffer will be installed between the railroad tracks and the buildings service yard to provide the necessary screening required from this rail right-of-way. The petitioner believes that constructing a high quality industrial building to /f provide a screen between the BNSF railway and the rest of the development area;will attract high r class office and residential tenant „n C ... .........:: L prospects. This office/warehouse development will have 269 parking f stalls. The building will be constructed of precise concrete panels with a uniform rib texture `.- _ and smooth band striping with a 32 / � t ft. clear height inside. The aluminum framed glass windows will extend to 14 ft. above grade and full height glass will accent the .l corner& center entries along with brick detailing and matching §, aluminum edged canopies. Alz There are two remaining . "schematically planned" development areas,which would include a professional office development and a multi- family/senior residential housing project. MTEHSTArE HIGHWAY Ha For the purpose of this application, 3 the petitioner has submitted a site plan showing what the potential could be for these two areas and he is currently marketing this site to parties in the hopes to achieve the proposed uses. The manufacturing/office building will begin construction as soon as this year,while the petitioner searches for potential users to achieve the mixed-use dense, development the City is looking to have on this property. If the following"schematically planned" developments don't occur as proposed in the submitted site plan, the petitioner will come back before the Planning Commission and the City Council for a TOD Master Plan amendment. Further review may be triggered by a 10%' change in the total building's footprint square footage or a change of use. The first"schematically planned" development could include two (5) level, 150,000 sq.ft. professional high quality designed office buildings with a 2 7story common core element that connects the two office buildings and underground parking. The buildings will be positioned to align with the south-western edge of the property which abuts the off-ramp from Interstate 694. This building will also be connected to a 4-level parking structure, 1-level below grade, 1- level at grade and 2-levels above grade. A total of 1,311 parking stalls will accommodate this development. The second "schematically planned" development could include a 3-4 story, 120 unit multi- family or senior housing development with underground parking for 112 stalls and at grade parking for another 88 stalls. The building design will be of a high quality finish to comfortably co-exist with the professional office buildings adjacent to it.This building will be positioned to align with the corner of East River Road and the future 57th Avenue extension. All areas within the development proposed include extensive landscaping with required storm ponding elements. The remaining development area will need to be seeded, mowed and maintained until development occurs. The petitioner envisions this development occurring whether or not 57th Avenue is extended from Main Street to East River Road. He wanted to design the development showing the 57th Avenue extension; however, he has stated that he doesn't feel that it's needed to make this development a success. The site has also been analyzed by staff and the petitioner's consultant to ensure that traffic flow will work on this site with and without the 57th Avenue extension and that the "development j ,, LEGEND f !i ridley transit Oriented Ucvelopmenl(.IOU)District X491 parkway" will connect to the extension when it's P1 constructed. �� � t7� �, �` _ �� •� I_ TOD MASTER PLAN AND SITE PLAN ANALYSIS Subject _ The Planning Commission and City Council will recall that in 2011,the Transit Oriented VQ ril�o Development(TOD) Overlay ' District was approved. The subjec t property is within the y _ ` Es W;TOD Overlay District. See ,Te t map to the right,for the TOD .._ district boundaries. rem s s;wss,. .n<s±sr:asst 4 The purpose for the adoption of the TOD Overlay is to: A. Implement code requirements that will encourage dense, mixed use, pedestrian-friendly development within a one-half mile of the Northstar Commuter Rail Station in Fridley. B. Create multi-modal connections to the Fridley Northstar Commuter Rail Station that allow for safe access to the station no matter what means of transportation someone uses. C. Create a neighborhood identity with the Northstar Station that promotes the use of mass transit, human interactions, safety and livability. D. Reduce automobile dependency by locating a variety of land uses within a half mile of the train station. E. Provide life cycle housing for people of different income levels and housing space needs within one half mile of the train station. The proposed development is the City's second TOD Overlay Master Plan request that aims to achieve the desires the City set forth when creating this district. As a result,the project needs to comply with the TOD standards that were designed to enhance the pedestrian scale and safety of any particular development.The TOD Overlay allows for flexibility when designing a redevelopment project that encourages dense, mixed use, pedestrian-friendly developments. It was also created to minimize the use of the automobile by allowing reduction in parking requirements, if certain conditions can be met and sidewalks are constructed. As stated above,the proposed project will include the construction of several new buildings that will offer a mix of uses,such as an office/warehouse building, a professional multi-story office building and a multi-level residential building. The petitioner is very interested in designing the project to TOD standards as the criteria will enhance the development,through use of high quality building materials and design, as well as enhance pedestrian site circulation through installation of sidewalks which will provide better access to public transportation such as the Northstar Commuter Rail and the Metro Transit bus system. Below is table showing the TOD development regulations and how the petitioner plans to comply with them. x UP � Lot Coverage 40%-can be exceeded 27%lot coverage is proposed with all where vehicle parking is buildings and parking structure. shared, underground, or structured, provided all landscaping requirements are met.

February 15, 2013 Background The Riverside Corporate Centre master plan application pertains to the development site located at 5601 East River Road, Fridley, Minnesota. This property is bounded by Interstate Highway 694 on the south, East River Road along with an off ramp from 1-694 on the west, the Burlington Northern Railway(North Star Line)on the east, and an existing commercial/industrial development on the north. The total land area of the property is approximately 1,178,129 square feet, or 27.046 acres. The property has access from an existing controlled intersection along East River Road. The property is currently vacant as the previous building(s)on the site were demolished in 2006. The property contains easements which affect the over master plan, including multiple sanitary sewer and Xcel Energy easements. The master plan also recognizes the desire of the City of Fridley to extend 57tH Avenue through the site with either an underpass or overpass at the Burlington Northern Railway. Ownership The development site is currently owned by Industrial Equities River Road L.L.C., 321 First Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55401. Current Zoning and 2030 Comprehensive Plan Guiding The development site is currently zoned C-3 General Shopping Center District and is within the Transit Oriented Development Overlay District(TOD). The City of Fridley Comprehensive Plan currently indicates the site as vacant, but indicates redevelopment on the 2030 Future Land Use map. Master Plan The approximately 27 acre site intends a mixed use development with an emphasis on commercial development. The site is envisioned to comprise three development areas: 1. Office/Warehouse Spec. building and associated parking and service yard. 2. Professional Office Buildings and associated Parking Structure. 3. Multi-Family/Senior Housing and associated parking. In addition, a right-of-way is proposed for a future 57th Avenue extension through the site which impacts the site segregation and the potential development size of the Office/Warehouse Spec. building. Riverside Corporate Centre by Industrial Equities L.L.P. Finn Daniels Architects& Master Plan Narrative Architects Professional Assoc. Page 1 February 15, 2013 The master plan recognizes the TOD overlay, and the transit and pedestrian features guided by the overlay. As the future 57th Avenue extension is planned to have sidewalks and/or trails on each side of that roadway. The master plan development carries a connection to the proposed trails throughout the development. Sidewalks along the 'development parkway' down the spine of the site, feed into and through the individual development sites and connect all building via the pedestrian path. Benches and waste receptacles are placed throughout the development site, along the 'development parkway' spine and internal to the development sites, all creating a consistent pedestrian experience throughout the master planned area. Bicycle parking is an additional component of all parking facilities on site, thus allowing for the multi-modal component envisioned by the TOD overlay. The master plan envisions decorative style street lamps along the 'development parkway' and different signage types(primary freestanding sign, monument sign, and information signs)to identify and direct people to and throughout the site. All project signage shall comply with the applicable C-3 zoning requirements as well as the TOD overlay requirements established by the City. The first phase of this development is the Office-Warehouse Spec. Building. The first phase would also include the 57th Avenue stub into the site from the East River Road intersection, and the new 'development parkway'. Office-Warehouse Development—Spec. Building The office-warehouse building has been placed at the most internal point of the site from the East River Road access,with the front of the building facing the new'development parkway' and the service yard at the rear facing the Burlington Northern Railway. The building has also been positioned to recognize the future 57th Avenue extension through the site. The proposed 57th Avenue extension through the site results in a loss of approximately 12,800 square feet of area from the proposed office-warehouse building. The proposed approximate size of the building is 134,192 square feet. The building will be constructed of precast concrete panels with a uniform rib texture and smooth band striping with a 32'-0"clear height inside. The aluminum framed glass fenestration will extend to 14' above grade and full height glass will accent the comer&center entries along with brick detailing and matching aluminum edged canopies.The interior structure will be steel columns/beams with metal bar joists and metal deck roof. The office-warehouse development site provides 269 stalls which meets the requirements for this type of structure as outlined in the City of Fridley Zoning Code District M-1 (Light Industrial)for a speculative use building on lots more than 1-1/2 acres. The proposed landscaping on this development site meets the criteria established by the underlying C3 zoning and the TOD overlay. A landscape buffer between the building service yard and the Burlington Northern Railway to provide screening is established by a dense configuration of coniferous trees and shrubs. The developer is requesting approval of the office-warehouse building development site as part of this TOD master plan application. Riverside Corporate Centre by Industrial Equities L.L.P. Finn Daniels Architects& Master Plan Narrative Architects Professional Assoc. Page 2 February 15, 2013 i I Development Site—Future Professional Office Buildinas The development site has been schematically planned for a pair of 5 story, 150,000 square foot professional office buildings with a 2 story common core element and underground parking. The buildings are positioned to align with the south-western edge of the property which abuts the off-ramp from 1-694. Although the TOD criteria would place the building up to the property lines(zero lot line setback), existing easements in place along the property line and the nature of the 1-694 off-ramp place the buildings further back from the property line, but we believe the intent is achieved. A parking structure is planned at the interior of the development site to account for the majority of parking required. The parking structure is 4 levels(including the on grade level)and one level below grade. A total of 1,311 parking stalls are on the development site,which meets the parking standards of the C3 zoning district. No development action is requested at this time on the proposed Professional Office development, we provide this information only as reference and guidance for the master plan intent. Development Site—Future Multi-Family/Seniors Residential Housing The development site has been schematically planned for a 3 to 4 story, 120 unit multi- family/seniors housing development with underground parking for 112 cars and on site/grade parking for another 88 cars. The parking meets the requirements for this type of structure as outlined in the City of Fridley Zoning Code District R-3(General Multiple Dwellings). This building is positioned to align with the East River Road and 57th Avenue comer. Although the TOD criteria would place the building up to the property lines(zero lot line setback), existing easements in place along the property line force the position further inward form the comer—the intent is achieved. No development action is requested at this time on the proposed Multi-Family/Senior Housing development, we provide this information only as reference and guidance for the master plan intent.
