It is important to the owner and operators that this site is well maintained and run.All aspects of site and building maintenance will kept to high standards.The groups associated with this facility as well as others they are hoping to have an affiliation, have high standards for this type of facility and for their patients.While the activities of this building might be a little higher at times, there will be no large parties, barbeques,gatherings,etc. The applicant and his associates have gone to great lengths to show the Planning Commission and City Council that they are dedicated to put in the effort needed to build and maintain a building and a business that has the highest standards of operation and dedication for your City.Obtaining the neighboring property and increasing the building now rather than later shows they are interested in making the easiest transition of the existing property and best interest for the City Staff,the Citizens of Fridley and the Planning Commission. I ask that you approve the Special Use Permit for this Facility. Thank you again for your consideration, Todd Ofsthun,TCO Design, 763-424-3676 Canmerc�al nraf��nq and Nane nes�qn _ _ _ -- - -- -- ___ nedlcatkm t�i Paccrllenc.c� t �� 9330 Thomas Avenue North,Brooklyn Park,MN 55444 Office 763-4243676 cell 952-9948276 todd@tcodesign.net August 24,2015 To: Stacy Stromberg City of Fridley Planning Department Re: Home Care Facility 5300-5310 4`"Street NE Fridley, MN 55421 Heilo Stacy, Thank you for considering our Special Use Permit for a Home Care Facility at 5300-5310 4"'Street NE. It is important to the people asking for the Special Use Permit that this is a well run,low key facility that will not have a negative impact on the neighborhood.The move to enlarge the building now instead of a future addition as mentioned during the first application is the increase interest and perceived demand for this type of a#acility in this area.We are now looking at a proposed building that is a 3 story(2 facing 4"'Street), 13,292 square foot, 24 bed Comprehensive Home Care Facility. This facility will be run by Wish Medical. It will be an acute care facility designed towards Transitional Care Units and will use Telemedicine to maximize care with minimal on site care.The principals are Susan McDonough and Ashley Smith.The Comprehensive Home Care license will be held by Ashtey who is currently with Allina.Susan is currently with Fairview.The maximum number of employees when the facility is full will be 16.This is the number nf employee required by the State for this type of facility and care.This is also the number that Wish Medical needs to provide the patients with meals,personal hygiene and any other patient needs.The employees will also be responsible for housekeeping.Building maintenance,landscape maintenance and snow removal will be hired out.There is plenty of on-site snov�r storage space. The closest use of the buitding wiil be assisted iiving. Based on Fridley City Code,our parking requiremen#is 12 spaces. If considered a nursing home,l8 spaces would be required.The proposed facility meets and/or exceeds Fridley City code with 18 proposes spaces.The 18 spaces provide adequate parking area for employees,visitors, employee transitions and deliveries. The deliveries to this facility will depend on the number of patients at any one time.This is not a clinic or a hospitaf.The deliveries will probably be made witM smaller vehicles.Similar to fed-ex or UPS type vans.There shou{d only be a little increase of deliveries to a traditional three unit bui{ding.They wi{I be made from the a{ley side where we are proposing adequate driveway to ensure the delivery vans will be on site during their visit.The location of the deliveries and the privacy shrubs being proposed,should minimize the impact of the delivery van traffic. The vast majority of patients that will stay at this facility wilt be bedridden. Because of the health condition of the other patients,they will be mostly sedentary and will not be wandering around the exterior of the building. The minimum stay of the patients at this facility is 60 days.The average could be one to two years depending on the patient.There should be no more daytime traffic than any other three unit building. City Code would require a maximum of 12 parking stalls if the assisted living parking ratio was used or 18 for a nursing home parking ratio. When this project was anafyzed in the past, staff used the nursing home ratio, as that use seems to be the most similar use to the comprehensive home care use. The previous site plans submitted by the petitioner did comply with code requirements for parking. The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to whether there would be enough parking with staff, plus visitors,and any other specialized staff needed for the patients. Therefore,the petitioner has gone above and beyond what code would require for parking, in order to help alleviate any concerns. The proposed plan has 20 parking stalls,which is 2 over what code would require for a nursing home use and 8 over what would be required for an assisted living use. When approving a request like this,staff wants to make sure there is adequate parking provided on-site and that the use isn't dependent upon on-street parking. The 20 parking stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors, however since the street isn't signed "no parking", it is likely that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable, provided it doesn't start becorriing a probiem. Staff wiii keep the stipulation previously placed on the special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site,the special use permit will need to go back before the City Council for further review. The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the use of the buifding is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in it didn't have health conditions that didn't allow them to drive. The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The petitioner has submitted a landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be further reviewed by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals, clinics and convalescent and nursing homes are a permitted specia/use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following stipulations be attached. 1. The petirioner shall obtain a demolirion permit prior to removal of rhe existing house on the 5300 4`h Street property. 2. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction. 3. The petitioner shal!meet all building,fire, and ADA requirements. 4. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility p/an prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of building permit. 6. If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use, the special use permit and options for additiona/parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the owner's expense. 7. If the comprehensive home health care use changes, the special use permit shall be further �reviewed by the City Council. 8. The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of the lots involved in this project,5300 and 5310 4`h Street, prior to issuance of a building permit.

The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota Department of Health. PROPOSED PROJECT The owners of this project have affiliations with Allina and Fairview, and the facility will be run by Wish Medical. It will be an acute care facility designed towards Transitional Care Units and will use Telemedicine to maximize care with minimal on-site care. The patients using the facility will be recovering from surgery,transplant (pre-op and post-op)or another type of inedical procedure that leaves them needing extensive rehab and medical services. This type of use is needed for patients,who for medical reasons,can't be on their own and do not have family or friends who can care for them. Site Plan Modifications since City Council approval on March 9, 2015: The square footage of the building has been increased from 2,486 sq.ft.to 5,732 sq.ft. in size,which will accommodate an increase of patient beds from 15 to 24 beds and the construction of(10) interior parking stalls. The existing home at 5300 4th Street will be removed to allow the land area needed for the larger building, however the existing garage will remain in place, which will provide for(2) addition enclosed parking stalls. . ,-.� . � . The proposed building will still be 3- �:��, � _.-_ i� • �' ; ;�.� stories,with a maximum height of 35 ' ��` � �''' � _„^ ;.:�,.„ ft. when measured from the midspan. ` �- The at-grade alley level will consist of _.� � .'y,; "-"� .

The new site plan allows for 20 parking �: � stalls total, 12 will be enclosed and 8 '� �-� � ` � � ` � ' "`"'` surface parking stalls. The petitioner 5�A�x.E has also submitted a landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required to construct storm water treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on site. SITE DESCRIPTION &HISTORY The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family and has been since the City's first zoning map. The majority of this neighborhood (east of University Avenue, north of 53`d Avenue, and west of 7th Street) is zoned R-3, Multi-Family, with some parcels in the middle of the neighborhood zoned R-2,Two-Family and parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, ; �� ,'�'" �� Single Family. Within this neighborhood is � j �,`r�, r.:" �.,� a mix of single family homes,duplexes,4- � . . �� •' I �,: ��..�- ; plexes and larger unit buildings. The Bona ' r-� .•`�� !R ` ` �, =t-y; .�� 5370._ .:53L Brothers property on the corner of � ,� � .��'.� � University Avenue and 53�d Avenue was ` ""`"""� y � rezoned from R-3, Multi-Family to C-2, . � C .�.� `� General Business in 1971 and 1999 to allow � � � �; ', ��`' V`�' 'p� � � � 3310�' ,. � �." ,� that use to exist. �� ' ;_s ��" :� `� .�s � 53104`h Street-The original house on the 53�1 r ' �� F _ , ; , ,"` . S� ---�a--"' � .i,_�f, �;,, � �� 1,� L - ' subject property was constructed prior to ' � �r �"> � k' � �" � �= �� , . � � , 1949. A detached garage that was � �� "�� ,„}'. I �;,. � � :M�` i'°° '+�� 1 .:�:'. ."+� � ' , + � q �; � � � . s�o accessed off the alley was then constructed '' � • _ _ in 1953. Based on building permit records �{ � - - this house had foundation issues, so there � �� was work on the foundation done in both �`� �� ..� ��,p� �� ;�,�� 1957 and is 2003. The house and garage s - �, ��'= �'- °° � .�� ,� �--,-��. $.� were demolished in 2011, and the lot has `�� 4:'�� '��,.,,,. � �= '�� r�� - remained vacant since then. �`. � �� ;��.��.�'�� :..� 53004tn Street—The existing house was constructed in 1959 and the detached garage was constructed in 1964. CODE REQUIREMENTS Hospitals, Clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care use is most comparable to a convalescent home or assisted living use and therefore staff has determined that a special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site. Based on the slope of the lot,the building will look like a 3-story building from the alley and more like a 2%-story building from 4`h Street. The ground floor will have (4) separate bedrooms and the second and third floors will have (10) separate bedrooms, so the building has the ability to house a total of 24 patients. Due to the medical conditions the patients have,they are unable to drive. As a result, parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site. The petitioner has articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time if the facility is full will be 16. This is the number of employees required by the State of Minnesota of this type of facility and care and this is also the number that Wish Medical needs to provide the patients with meals, personal hygiene and any other patient needs. The employees will also be responsible for housekeeping. Any staff ineetings for employees will either occur off-site or through electronic {, `, - ^ . � �,� media. ,.•.,. � >, -�- ��i�' _ { �; __ The new site plan shows 20 ��' '; --�-- t '�y%=� = parking stalls, 12 are enclosed and �� ,- � `�, � 8 are surface parking stalls. The ��;,,. 10 stalls enclosed in the proposed �'` • i building and the 6 stalls in the _ attached parking lot will be �,�,,,� �,_ accessed off the alley. There are 2 s "`�` � �! ' enclosed stalls within the z ��. : detached garage on the 5300 4'n �� Street property, and the other 2 �� "' ° surface stalls are in front of that ��''- � � : �� garage. That parking will be � `--� accessed off of 53�d Avenue. The ,�'� � design of the parking area is the _ =�;= � ' same as what was previously � -, ,. �;_;:;; approved,with a one-way loop �� s?-•.� . , �c�� ' - through the parking area,so � � � vehicles won't have to back into the alley to leave the property and :. it also provides better circulation for staff,visitors,delivery vehicles $�Di41�''�'E"'�£ and emergency vehicles. The building will only be accessed from 4th Street through the use of a sidewalk. r �� CITY OF FRIDLEY AGENDA PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 7:00 P.M. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCATION: COUNCIL CHAMBERS FRIDLEY MUNICIPAL CENTER, 6431 UNIVERSITY AVENUE NE CALL TO ORDER: ROLL CALL: APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES: August 19, 2015 1.

It is important to the owner and operators that this site is well maintained and run.All aspects of site and building maintenance will kept to high standards.The groups associated with this facility as well as others they are hoping to have an affiliation, have high standards for this type of facility and for their patients.While the activities of this building might be a little higher at times, there will be no large parties,barbeques,gatherings,etc. The applicant and his associates have gone to great lengths to show the Planning Commission and City Council that they are dedicated to put in the effort needed to build and maintain a building and a business that has the highest standards of operation and dedication for your City.Obtaining the neighboring property and increasing the building now rather than later shows they are interested in making the easiest transition of the existing property and best interest for the City Staff,the Citizens of Fridley and the Planning Commission.

It is important to the people asking for the Special U5e Permit that this is a well run,low key facility that will not have a negative impact on the neighborhood.The move to enlarge the building now instead of a future addition as mentioned during the first application is the increase interest and perceived demand for this type of a€acility in this area.We are now looking at a proposed building that is a 3 story(2 facing 4`"Street), 13,292 square foot, 24 bed Comprehensive Home Care Facility. This facility will be run by Wish Medical. It will be an acute care facility designed towards Transitional Care Units and will use Telemedicine to maximize care with minimal on site care.The principals are Susan McDonough and Ashley Smith.The Comprehensive Home Care license will be held hy Ashley who is currently with Altina.Susan is currently with Fairview.The maximum number of employees when the facility is full will be 16.This is the number nf employee required by the State for this type of facility and care.This is also the number that Wish Medical needs to provide the patients with meals,personal hygiene and any other patient needs.The employees will also be responsible for housekeeping.Building maintenance,landscape maintenance and snow removal will be hired out.There is plenty of on-site snov�r storage space. The closest use of the building will be assisted living. Based on Fridley City Code,our parking requirement is 12 spaces. If considered a nursing home,l8 spaces would be required.The proposed facility meets and/or exceeds Fridley City code with 18 proposes spaces.The 18 spaces provide adequate parking area for employees,visitors, employee transitions and deliveries. The deliveries to this facility will depend on the number of patients at any one time.This is not a clinic or a hospital.The deliveries will probably be made with smaller vehicles.Similar to fed-ex or UPS type vans.There should only be a little increase of deliveries to a traditional three unit building.They will be made from the alley side where we are proposing adequate driveway to ensure the delivery vans will be on site during their visit.The location of the deliveries and the privacy shrubs being proposed,should minimize the impact of the delivery van traffic. The vast majority of patients that will stay at this facility will be bedridden. Because of the health condition of the other patients,they will be mostly sedentary and will not be wandering around the exterior of the building. The minimum stay of the patients at this facility is 60 days.The average could be one to two years depending on the patient.There should be no more daytime traffic than any other three unit building. City Code would require a maximum of 12 parking stalls if the assisted living parking ratio was used or 18 for a nursing home parking ratio. When this project was analyzed in the past, staff used the nursing home ratio, as that use seems to be the most similar use to the comprehensive home care use. The previous site plans submitted by the petitioner did comply with code requirements for parking. The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to whether there would be enough parking with staff, plus visitors,and any other specialized staff needed for the patients. Therefore,the petitioner has gone above and beyond what code would require for parking, in order to help alleviate any concerns. The proposed plan has 20 parking stalls,which is 2 over what code would require for a nursing home use and 8 over what would be required for an assisted living use. When approving a request like this,staff wants to make sure there is adequate parking provided on-site and that the use isn't dependent upon on-street parking. The 20 parking stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors, however since the street isn't signed "no parking", it is likely that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable, provided it doesn't start becoming a problem. Staff will keep the stipulation previously placed on the special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site,the special use permit will need to go back before the City Council for further review. The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the use of the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in it didn't have health conditions that didn't allow them to drive. The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The petitioner has submitted a landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be further reviewed by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this specia/use permit request as hospitals, clinics and convalescent and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following stipulations be attached. 1. The petitioner shall obtain a demolition permit prior to removal of the existing house on the 5300 4`n Street property. 2. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction. 3. The petitioner shall meet al/building,fire, and ADA requirements. 4. City enqineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility plan prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of building permit. 6. If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use, the special use permit and options for additiona/parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the owner's expense. 7. If the comprehensive home health care use changes, the specia!use permit shall be further �reviewed by the City Council. 8. The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of the/ots involved in this project,5300 and 5310 4`n Street,prior to issuance of a building permit. .• „� � COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT �� `:``-'•"a� PLANNING DIVISION �' Fridley Memorandum DATE: September 1, 2015 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director Stacy Stromberg, Planner Jacquel Nissen, Economic Development Intern SUBJECT: TA 15-03,Amendments to the City Sign Code INTRODUCTION Over the last few months staff has met with many businesses to discuss their business and relationships with the City. There were many discussions about displeasure with our sign code preventing a business or organization from changing their electronic message more than once every 45 seconds. As a result, Planning staff researched traffic safety issues regarding electronic/dynamic signs, what other City's codes allow, and what the State and Federal Standards on are on electronic/dynamic signs. Staff also evaluated whether or not a special use permit was necessary for an electronic sign, if performances standards were clearly defined within code. ANALYSIS Electronic Messa�e and/or Dvnamic Si�ns: Staff analyzed reasons to change the allowable time from 45 seconds to 8 seconds. The safety of drivers was a large concern for staff as we do not want to contribute to distracted driving. In a 2012 study done by the U.S. Department of Transportation, glances off the road to electronic/dynamic signs were measured to see if that distraction factor was any different from non digital signs. The study found that the driver glanced at the electronic sign not any longer than they would have a regular sign. In some cities,the studies showed the electronic signs were less distracting. Staff studied other city sign codes related to electronic/dynamic signs. Cities around Fridley have codes that were not always that closely related. A common ground for many cities was the fact that, when they decided to allow electronic/dynamic signs, blinking, brightness, moving, and flashing were the issues they found with the signs to be the most distracting. The timing of inessage changes varied between the cities. Some followed MNDOT's allowable time of 8 seconds, and some picked a time they considered reasonable. The range of times went from 4 seconds,to as much as 15 minutes in Plymouth. Most cities tended to have allowable times in the 4 to 10 second range. i MNDOT uses electronic/dynamic signs to warn drivers of danger, road closures, accidents, amber alerts, and different road conditions. They have found the signs to be more informative and helpful to drivers,than distracting. MNDOT wants messages to change 1 second for every word, or 2 seconds for'every unit of information to ensure the driver sees the whole message. After reviewing a number of studies indicating that the timing of inessage changes had little to no impact on drivers, staff recommends changing the sign code to allow messages to change every 8 seconds, a common number across many cities and MNDOT's standard. Electronic Messaae and/or Dvnamic Sian Luminance Levels: After researching other city's codes on electronic signage and studies showing the traffic effect of electronic/dynamic signs, staff decided there should be a line drawn on how bright the signs can be. A common luminance level was 500 nits (a way of ineasuring how much light a sign ,puts out) during the nighttime hours, and 3500-7000 nits during the day time hours. Staff also contacted sign experts to understand better what a reasonable luminance level would be. Considering these factors, staff recommends adding a new section to our electronic/dynamic signs code that outlines the luminance level the electronic/dynamic signs are limited too. Staff will add the following stipulations to our electronic/dynamic signs code,within the zoning districts C-1, C-2, C-3, CR-1, M-1, M-2, M-3 district, and for institutions. Electronic Messa�e and/or Dvnamic Si�n: 1. Messa�e does not chan�e more than once everv ei�ht (8) seconds. 2. Messa�e shall never flash or have motion that mav distract vehicular traffic 3. Luminance levels must complv with the followin�: not more than 5 000 nits in the davtime hours and not more than 500 nits in the evenin�ni�httime hours Sqecial Use Permits: Due to Planning Commission feedback, questioning the need for these signs obtaining Special Use Permits, staff studied the issue. It was determined that, if the code performance standards above are complied with, a special use permit would be unnecessary. Staff studied nearby cities to see if they issue special use permits for electronic signs and about half of them do. Staff considers this an opportunity to make the sign permit process much simpler on the applicant. Staff recommends deleting the following existing language: Anv electronic messa�e and/or dvnamic si�n shall meet all reauirements of special use permit provisions of this Code. In turn Staff would recommend the addition of language to read: Electronic Messa�e and/or Dvnamic Si�n: 1. Messa�e does not chan�e more than once everv ei�ht (8) seconds. . 2. Messa�e shall never flash or have motion that mav distract vehicular traffic 2 3. Luminance levels must comply with the followin�: not more than 5,000 nits in the davtime howrs and not more than 500 nits in the evenin� ni�httime hours. In Section 214.07, Signs Allowed with a Special Use Permit, Electronic signs are mentioned as signs that need a Special Use Permit. Staff will delete that language all together leaving just Billboards under section 214.07. Other Sign Code Modificationr. Definitions: Electronic/dynamic sign is a common term describing these types of signs. Current Code doesn't have a consistent name for these types of signs. Staff recommends adding in the following definition: 13. Electronic Messa�e and/or Dvnamic Si�n Pro�rammable electronic messa�e board, and/or pro�rammable iliuminated si�n. STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends approval of the proposed changes to the City Sign Code as shown in Text Amendment 15-03. These changes will be welcomed by the business community, and will make administration of the sign code more efficient, making our drivers no less safe and business no less attractive. Staff is planning to bring this item before the City Council on September 28, 2015. 3 Ordinance No. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 214,RELATED TO DEFINITIONS,AND ELECTRONIC MESSAGE ANp/OR DYNAMIC SIGNS.
