PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
RICHFIELD
PC MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 26, 2012
ITEM FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a Class II Traditional
non-intoxicating beverages) Restaurant at 811 66th Street East.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Recommend
approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Traditional (Class II)
Restaurant at 811 66th Street West.
II. BACKGROUND
The City has received an application requesting a conditional use permit for a
Traditional (Class II) Restaurant at 811 66th Street West. A Class II Restaurant allows
seating and food and non-intoxicating beverage service. This location is currently
occupied by the Cinco de Mayo grocery store and associated take-out only restaurant.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
Traditional restaurants with seating, but no alcohol service are conditionally
permitted in the General Commercial (C-2) District.
The submitted application indicates that 4 tables are desired; however, plans
show 10 tables. City parking requirements are based on square footage rather
than tables.
The existing site is nonconforming in regard to a number of requirements
building and parking setbacks, parking lot design/dimensions, impervious
surface, etc.). Most of these items cannot be corrected without complete
redevelopment of the site. In these instances, landscaping and screening plans
that meet the intent of the Ordinance can be approved.
o There is virtually no impervious surface or landscaping on this site. Staff
recommends that a landscaping plan including a minimum of six planters
along the front of the building and parking lot screening (to a height of 3-4
feet) be approved. The Public Works Department has agreed to allow the
installation of this screening in the boulevard area along
66th Street since
there is no parking lot setback.
The proposal includes the addition of a bicycle rack (required).
In evaluating a request for a conditional use permit, the Planning Commission
and Council shall consider its compliance with the eight criteria outlined in
Subsection 547.09 of the City Code and further articulated in the attached
document.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
At the time of application, there were a number of violations at the property.
The applicant has been made aware of the following violations:
1) All parking is required by Code and cannot be used for other purposes.
The donation box must be removed.
2) Pennants/flags, such as those along the front of the building, are
prohibited by the sign code and must be removed.
3) Electronic window signs may not flash.
4) Portable signs (including sandwich board signs) are prohibited.
5) Tables and chairs are not permitted in the restaurant until a conditional
use permit is approved and conditions are met.
Conditional use permits run with the land. If approved, the applicant must
record the approved resolution with Hennepin County and provide proof of
recording to the City prior to opening.
The applicant has not submitted a legal description for the property. Staff
drafted the attached resolution based on Hennepin County online records.
This may not be a complete legal description and may not be recordable. It is
the applicant's responsibility to provide the City with the correct legal
description.
The applicant is responsible for obtaining all required permits, compliance
with all requirements detailed in the City's Administrative Review Committee
Report and compliance with all other City and State regulations. Permits are
required prior to the commencement of any work.

Conditional Use Permit Requirements
Subsection 547.09
a) The proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the
City's Comprehensive Plan. This requirement is met. This property is
designated as "Neighborhood Commercial" in the Comprehensive Plan.
Neighborhood Commercial areas are intended to provide space for good and
services that neighborhood residents need on a frequent basis and should be
accessible by foot and bicycle. This proposal would allow seating at the existing
small restaurant that is attached to the small grocery store. A sidewalk along
66th
Street and the front of the building allows for pedestrian access and a
bicycle rack will be added.
b) The proposed use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the
purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the
proposed use. This requirement is met. The General Commercial (C-2) District
is intended to provide space for a wide variety of retail and service businesses.
The "City expects [these businesses] to have an attractive appearance from all
sides, to be compatible with nearby residential properties, to minimize adverse
effects on surface waters, and to not significantly degrade the level of service or
safety on nearby roads."
c) The proposed use is consistent with any officially adopted redevelopment
plans or urban design guidelines. This requirement is met. While there are no
officially adopted" plans or design guidelines, the
66th Street Corridor Plan
stresses reinvestment and the upgrading of existing properties.
d) The proposed use is or will be in compliance with the performance standards
specified in Section 544 of this Code. The existing building and related
improvements are legally nonconforming in a number of ways (building setbacks,
parking setbacks, landscaping, impervious surface). Requests for a change in
the use of a property require compliance with current requirements whenever
possible. In instances of nonconforming site improvements, alternative
landscaping may be approved by the Community Development Director, where,
due to existing structure placement, lot dimensions, parking requirements, or
other improvements, it is not possible to provide the landscaping or screening
required. In an effort to achieve the intent of the Ordinance, staff recommends
that approval be conditioned upon submittal of a landscaping plan that includes a
minimum of six large planters along the face of the building and parking lot
screening of 3-4 feet in height (to be achieved either through plantings or
decorative fencing).
e) The proposed use will not have undue adverse impacts on government
facilities, utilities, services or existing or proposed improvements. This
requirement is met. The submitted plans have been reviewed by the Public
Works Department and no undue adverse impacts are anticipated.
f) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the public health, safety or
welfare. The applicant must comply with all requirements of the Administrative
Review Committee Report dated October 26, 2012.
g) There is a public need for such use at the proposed location. This
requirement is met. There is a need for successful community/neighborhood
business in this area.
h) The proposed use meets or will meet all the specific conditions set by this
Code for the granting of such conditional use permit. This requirement is met.
There are no specific conditions other than a-h that apply.

ITEM FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing to consider Site Plan Approval to allow an adult day care serving up to five
persons at 6630 Penn Avenue.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Recommend
approval of the attached resolution granting Site Plan Approval for a
day care serving up to five persons at 6630 Penn Avenue.
II. BACKGROUND
The owner of 6630 Penn Avenue has applied for a permit to operate an adult day care.
A change in the use of a building requires Site Plan Approval. This two-tenant building
is currently used as an art gallery/gift shop and an acupuncture clinic. The proposed
day care would replace the acupuncture clinic.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
A change in the use of a building requires Site Plan Approval.
Day care uses require 1 parking space per 5 enrolled persons. The proposed center
will serve a maximum of 5 persons. The parking provided behind the building and
on the street will be adequate to serve both the new business and the existing art
gallery/gift shop.
Parking in the rear must be striped in accordance with the proposed plan.
The existing building includes an awning and the applicant has added planters,
which will include live plants during spring, summer and fall and decor during the
winter, to the space in front of the building. These changes meet the intent of the
Penn Avenue Design Guidelines.
The existing building is legally nonconforming and no external changes are
proposed. There is an opportunity to add a limited amount of pervious surface
behind the building; however, staff does not believe that there would be any tangible
benefit.
In evaluating a site plan, the Planning Commission and Council shall consider its
compliance with the seven criteria outlined in Subsection 547.13 of the City Code
and further articulated in the attached document.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
Staff recommends approval based on compliance with all criteria.
The applicant is responsible for obtaining all required permits, compliance with all
requirements detailed in the City's Administrative Review Committee Report and
compliance with all other City and State regulations. Permits are required prior to
the commencement of any work.
C. FINANCIAL
The required processing fee has been paid.
D. LEGAL
Notification: Notice of this public hearing was published in the Sun Current in
accordance with State and Local requirements. Properties within 350 feet
were notified by mail.

Site Plan Approval Requirements
Subsection 547.13
a) Consistency with the various elements and objectives of the City's long range
plans, including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Plan; In the Penn Avenue
Corridor, the Mixed Use District is intended to be a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented
neighborhood center. The District can accommodate a variety of uses. The
proposal is in keeping with these intentions.
b) Consistency with the purposes of the Zoning Code; The proposal is in keeping
with the purpose of the Zoning Code and the Mixed Use - Community District.
This District is intended to provide locations for a variety of shops and services
that serve the surrounding community. The proposal is in keeping with these
intentions.
c) Preservation of the site in its natural state, insofar as practicable, by minimizing
tree and soil removal, and designing any grade changes so as to be in keeping
with the general appearance of neighboring developed or developing areas; N/A
d) Creation of a harmonious relationship of buildings and open spaces with the
terrain and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the
proposed development; N/A
e) Creation of a functional and harmonious design for structures and site features
including:
i. Creation of an internal sense of order for the various functions and
buildings on the site and provision of a desirable environment for
occupants, visitors and the general community;
ii.Appropriateness of the amount and arrangement of open space and
landscaping to the design and function of the development;
iii. Appropriateness of the materials, textures, colors and details of
construction as an expression of the design concept of the project and
the compatibility of the same with the adjacent and neighboring
structures and functions; and

cycling and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking so
as to be safe, convenient and, insofar as practicable, compatible with
the design of proposed buildings, structures and neighboring
properties.
The striping of parking spaces behind the building will improve circulation
along the alley and the addition of planters along Penn Avenue will improve
curb appeal of the building. There is limited opportunity to improve the site
further given the placement and size of the building.
f) Creation of an energy-conserving design through design location, orientation and
elevation of structures, the use and location of glass in structures, and the use of
landscape materials and site grading; N/A

RICHFIELD
PC MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 26, 2012
ITEM FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
Public hearing to consider Site Plan Approval to allow day care serving up to 28 persons at
6341 Penn Avenue.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct and close a public hearing and by motion: Recommend
approval of the attached resolution granting Site Plan Approval for a
day care serving up to 28 persons at 6341 Penn Avenue.
II. BACKGROUND
The owners of 6341 Penn Avenue previously operated Mother Duck Learning Center
Mother Duck") at this location. In 2008, Mother Duck moved to a new location at 6301
Penn Avenue. The owner-operators are now proposing to re-open a satellite operation
at the old location. This building would serve infants and toddlers.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
A conditional use permit was issued for day care use at this property in 1993.
Conditional use permits expire if normal operation of the use has been discontinued
for 12 months or more.
This property is now zoned Mixed Use — Community and day care requires site plan
approval, rather than a conditional use permit.
Day care uses require 1 parking space per 5 enrolled persons. The proposed center
will serve a maximum of 28 persons. Thirteen parking spaces are provided; six
parking spaces are required.
The applicant has already installed staff-recommended landscaping that meets the
intent of the Penn Avenue Design Guidelines.
The existing building is legally nonconforming and no external changes are
proposed. There is an opportunity to add pervious surface by removing excess
parking; however, keeping in mind that potential reuse of the building in the future it
seems short-sighted to remove parking when most uses require significantly more
than a day care.
In evaluating a site plan, the Planning Commission and Council shall consider its
compliance with the seven criteria outlined in Subsection 547.13 of the City Code
and further articulated in the attached document.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
Staff recommends approval based on compliance with all criteria.
The applicant is responsible for obtaining all required permits, compliance with all
requirements detailed in the City's Administrative Review Committee Report and
compliance with all other City and State regulations. Permits are required prior to
the commencement of any work.
C. FINANCIAL
The required processing fee has been paid.
D. LEGAL
Notification: Notice of this public hearing was published in the Sun Current in
accordance with State and Local requirements. Properties within 350 feet
were notified by mail.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
Recommend denial of the proposed Site Plan and change in use with a finding
that the proposal does not meet Code requirements.

PC MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 2012
ITEM FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution finding that the acquisition and disposition of 6400 17th Avenue
by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority for removal and future redevelopment as multi-
family residential is consistent with the Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
I.RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the attached resolution finding that the
acquisition and disposition of 6400 17th Avenue by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority for removal and eventual redevelopment as
multi-family residential is consistent with the Richfield
Comprehensive Plan.
II. BACKGROUND
The property located at 6400 17th Avenue is a vacant, foreclosed property owned by
Bank of America. The property is located in the Cedar Point redevelopment area and is
zoned MR-3, high density residential.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has had a purchase offer accepted
for 6400 17th Avenue. The HRA plans to purchase the property, demolish or move the
existing building and hold the property until a future date when redevelopment of the
area to high density multiple family housing occurs.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
6400 17th Avenue is currently zoned MR-3 (High density residential).
In 2004 the City completed a redevelopment master plan for the Cedar
Avenue Corridor calling for a mixture of multi-family, housing, office and retail
development. The Comprehensive Plan incorporates the master plan and
6400 17th Avenue is located within the Plan area.
The 2008-2018 Comprehensive Plan identifies the parcel as high-density
residential.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
The house has been foreclosed upon and is currently vacant.
112712 6400 16th consistency.doc
The HRA approved the purchase of 6400 17th Avenue on November 19, and
the HRA's purchase offer was accepted.
The HRA's purchase requires a finding of consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan by the Planning Commission. The purchase of the
property is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
The construction of a high density multi-family residential will be consistent
with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
The property is located within the area impacted by noise generated from the
new north/south runway built at the adjacent airport. The master plan and the
Comprehensive Plan seek to mitigate the impact of the runway through the
redevelopment of single family housing to land uses that are less impacted by
the runway.
C. FINANCIAL
The HRA has sufficient funding in the Development Fund to purchase 6400
17th Avenue.
A portion of the property will be needed for eventual construction of Richfield
Parkway. It is anticipated that the City will reimburse the HRA for at least a
large portion of the costs of acquisition when Richfield Parkway is
constructed.
D. LEGAL
Chapter 462 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that whenever any
public agency buys or sells property within the City, the Planning Commission
must review the proposed use of the site for consistency with the Richfield
Comprehensive Plan.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S)
Make a finding that the acquisition and disposition of 6400 17th Avenue is not
consistent with the 2008 Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
V. ATTACHMENTS

RESOLUTION OF THE RICHFIELD PLANNING COMMISSION

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the Comprehensive Plan regarding
the acquisition and disposition of property located at 6400 17th Avenue and legally described
as follows:
6400 17th: Lot 16, Block 2, Iverson's Second Addition
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has found that the acquisition and disposition of
the property for future redevelopment as high density, multi-family residential purposes would
be consistent with the Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission finds that the
acquisition and disposition of the above described property, for high density, multi-family
residential use, is in conformance with the Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
Adopted this 27th day of November, 2012, by the Planning Commission of the City of

PC MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 27, 2012
ITEM FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION:
Consideration of a resolution finding that the acquisition and disposition of 7600 Pillsbury
Avenue by the Housing & Redevelopment Authority for removal and future redevelopment as
multi-family residential is consistent with the Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
I.RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion: Approve the attached resolution finding that the
acquisition and disposition of 7600 Pillsbury Avenue by the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority for removal and eventual
redevelopment as multi-family residential is consistent with the
Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
II. BACKGROUND
In 2008, Richfield Properties LLC, Limited Partnership (working with Ron Clark
Construction and Design) purchased the property at 7600 Pillsbury Avenue in
anticipation of future redevelopment of the block. In 2012 the City Council voted to
deny the land use application to redevelop the parcel with a Low Income Housing Tax
Credit apartment project. Following that denial, Richfield Properties, LLC, contacted
staff expressing an interest in selling the parcel to the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA). The HRA approved the purchase of the property on November 19,
2012.
The property is located adjacent to City and HRA owned properties in the 7600 block of
Pillsbury. The property is guided Medium-High Density Residential.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
7600 Pillsbury Avenue is currently zoned R (Single Family Residential);
however, the 2008-2018 Comprehensive Plan identifies the parcel as
Medium-High Density Residential.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES 1
The HRA approved the purchase of 7600 Pillsbury Avenue on November 19,
2012.
112712 7600 Pillsbury consistency.doc
The HRA's purchase requires a finding of consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan by the Planning Commission. The purchase of the
property is consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
The HRA and City owns all but this and one other parcel in the block.
Acquisition of this parcel will further attempts to successfully redevelop the
block in the future. Future construction of medium-high density multi-family
residential will be consistent with the 2008 Comprehensive Plan.
C. FINANCIAL
The HRA has sufficient funding in the Development Fund to purchase 7600
Pillsbury Avenue.
D. LEGAL
Chapter 462 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that whenever any
public agency buys or sells property within the City, the Planning Commission
must review the proposed use of the site for consistency with the Richfield
Comprehensive Plan.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS)
Make a finding that the acquisition and disposition of 7600 Pillsbury Avenue is
not consistent with the 2008 Richfield Comprehensive Plan.
