Final development plan for retail/office development. Community Development Manager John Stark, stated that items 1 and 2 will be combined because they relate to the same project, but there needs to be a separate vote for each item. Mr. Stark reviewed the staff report stating that CSM Corporation has requested an amendment to the PUD plan for Lyndale Gateway to allow a reconfiguration of the building layout in the commercial phase. Mr. Stark stated that the reconfiguration of the Walgreen's will include reorienting the entrance from the northeast to the southeast corner, reorienting the drive - through from the west to the north side of the building and will provide a double row of parking on the south side of the building in addition to the double row of parking on the east side of the building. Mr. Stark stated that staff recommends that the Commission recommend to the City Council to approve the request for an amended planned unit development plan for phase 11 of the Lyndale Gateway PUD plan with stipulations. Chairperson Bjorklund asked if neighbors have been regularly updated on new developments with the project. Mr. Stark stated that most of the communications with neighbors have been through him. Commissioner Drummond asked how high the berm is along Aldrich Avenue. Gary T ushie of Tushie Montgomery Architects stated that it will average between two and four feet with densely planted evergreens. Commissioner Hanson asked what kinds of traffic calming features will be constructed along Lyndale Avenue. Mr. Stark stated that there will be a median, traffic lights will be timed to allow enough time for pedestrians to get across the street and the cross walks will be a different color than the street surface. Murray Kornberg Vice President of CSM Corp. reviewed the changes to the Walgreen's stating that Walgreen's wanted the entrance facing the prime intersection of Lyndale and 77' h Street. January 25, 2000 Page 3 Mr. Tushie reviewed the specific design plans of the project including the landscaping, street design and building design. The Commission then discussed the landscaping along the west side of the Walgreen's the walkway through the buffer and the specific exterior material used for the buildings. Commissioner Linnihan asked about the lighting plan along Lyndale Avenue. Mr. Tushie stated that the large overhead lights will remain but smaller human scale street lights will be installed and will match all along Lyndale Avenue. Dale Brady 7632 Aldrich Avenue, asked how tall will the trees on the west side of Walgreen's be when first installed. Ms. Urban stated that they will be about ten feet tall. Mr. Brady stated that people may park on Aldrich and walk over to the retail area because of the walkway. Mr. Stark stated that "no parking" signs could be installed and the proposed parking lot should be more than adequate for the number of shoppers. Melinda Brady 7632 Aldrich Avenue stated that the only people who would use the walkway would be the neighbors along Aldrich and doesn't think its worth having. Mr. Stark stated that the idea for a walkway came from Public Safety who felt that the walkway with lighting would be safer than a dirt path through the berm. Kenneth Wren 7627 Aldrich Avenue, stated that he recently bought his house and would like some more information on the buy -out process. Mr. Stark stated that that he would be in contact with Mr. Wren. Pat O'Brien business owner at 76`h Street and Lyndale Avenue, stated that CSM should try to keep the current tenants in the new development. Mr. Kornberg stated that there is space available and is willing to accommodate the current tenants, but because of the redevelopment costs the rent will be much higher than the current rents in the area.

F. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 11 Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion approve an amendment to the conditional use permit to allow a 5,500 square foot building addition onto Woodlake Lutheran Church, 7525 Oliver Avenue. II. BACKGROUND Woodlake Lutheran Church proposes to add 5,500 square feet onto the southeast corner of their existing facility to create a larger narthex/hospitality space. Some site changes will also be made to accommodate the addition. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY NA B. CRITICAL ISSUES The area where the addition will be constructed is currently a drive aisle and a grassy area. The north drive aisle will be relocated to the south of the addition. The center median currently located in the parking lot will be removed to allow for better emergency vehicle access. There is a power pole located next to the proposed drive aisle area that may impact the driveway. The driveway location and width may need to be adjusted to accommodate the power pole. The trash area will be relocated to the north side of the building. A drive will be constructed to provide for garage truck access. A wooden enclosure will be constructed to screen the trash dumpsters. The addition exterior will match the brick of the existing church. The addition will also have a pitched roof to complement the sanctuary roof. The number of handicapped parking stalls is currently less than is required. That number will be increased from four to six stalls, reducing the total number of parking stalls by one. The church shares parking with the middle school providing it with more than adequate parking. C. FINANCIAL NA D. LEGAL Zoning: R (single family residential) Land Use: Church Comprehensive Plan: Church Notification: Mailed notices were sent to property owners and occupants within 350 feet of the subject property. Other Actions: Council: Review of the application by the Planning Commission will result in a City Council hearing on March 13, 2000. A church is a conditional use in the R (single family residential) district. A building addition requires an amendment to the conditional use permit. IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) Deny the request for an amendment to the conditional use permit with a finding of fact that the proposed change would have an adverse impact on surrounding properties or the City as a whole.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: 11 Conduct and close the public hearing and by motion recommend approval of a conditional use permit to allow the addition of a limited medical facility in the existing office space at 1515 East 66th Street. II. BACKGROUND New Life Family Services will convert part of their existing office space to a medical facility in order to perform limited medical services for pregnant women. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY 1 _1 B. CRITICAL ISSUES There are seventy -one parking spaces available for the current facility. Medical office parking standards require one space per doctor plus one space per two technicians. There will be one exam room in the facility, which is not likely to greatly increase the demand on parking. The program anticipates an increase in clientele with the clinic but with one exam room, it is likely to be spread out throughout the day. The clinic will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. C. FINANCIAL NA A -1 D.

II I. RECOMMENDED ACTION: II Conduct a public hearing and by motion recommend approval of an ordinance amendment to rezone properties as listed in Attachment A to a zoning classification consistent with the current land use and the Comprehensive Plan. II. BACKGROUND State law requires that cities' Zoning Ordinances be made consistent with their Comprehensive Plans. In 1998, the Planning Commission reviewed the City's zoning classifications and identified those parcels with zoning that is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Of those parcels, the Commission determined that one category of parcels, that in which the land use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan but the zoning is not, should be rezoned. One group of these properties was rezoned by the City Council in December, 1999. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY NA B. CRITICAL ISSUES Fifteen of the properties to be rezoned are currently zoned C -2 (general commercial). They are currently used as single family residences. The Comprehensive Plan designates them as single family residential, either low or high density. The proposed zoning is R (single family residential). One of the properties to be rezoned is zoned C -2 and is used as a day care facility. The Comprehensive Plan designates the property as single family, high density residential (R -SFH). The proposed zoning for this property is MR -2 medium density multiple family residential), based on discussions by the Planning Commission two years ago when the day care facility was approved. Other possible zoning classifications would be R (single family residential) or MR -1 (two- family residence). Day care facilities are conditional uses in all of Z~i these zoning districts, although the setback requirements vary. The property owner has suggested that C -1 (neighborhood commercial) would be a more appropriate zoning district. This would allow the property owner to have an appropriate commercial re -use of the, current building in the event that the day care is no longer viable but still be compatible with the neighborhood. Staff has received some calls regarding the rezonings, primarily requesting clarification of what is occurring and asking about the R -SFH classification. The rezonings are primarily a house - keeping measure to bring the zoning classifications into consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The commercial zoning that currently exists would makes it possible for these residential properties to be converted to commercial uses, which would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The R -SFH classification is found throughout the Plan along arterial and collector streets and adjacent to commercial areas. The purpose of this classification is to allow for transitional uses to the single family neighborhoods. The R -SFH classification would allow for duplexes or townhome /cluster homes to be developed. In the case of the properties to be rezoned, the small size of the parcels makes a conversion unlikely unless parcels were combined. C. FINANCIAL NA D. LEGAL Notification: Letters were sent to owners of all properties to be rezoned. Mailed notices were also sent to all property:owners and occupants within 350 feet of the property to be rezoned. Other Actions: Council: If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation, first reading would be scheduled for March 13, 2000 IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S) 1. Request additional information from staff and continue the rezoning discussion to the Planning Commission meeting on March 28, 2000. 2. Do not rezone the properties at this time. 3. Rezone the properties to a different zoning district. V. ATTACHMENTS Attachment A: List of properties to be rezoned Attachment B: Map of properties to be rezoned VI.

LEGAL Other Actions: Council: The City Council will conduct a public hearing on March 13, 2000. HRA: The HRA is considering the modification on February 22, 2000.
