Tonight I am presenting a preliminary plot. 00:09:07.767 --> 00:09:13.100 Experience and site plan application as case number 00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:16.300 24-116 for BCS African Foods. The applicant proposes a 00:09:16.300 --> 00:09:18.500 building addition with a staging area on a newly created 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:28.734 lot. The site is located at Brooklyn Boulevard and Kentucky 00:09:28.734 --> 00:09:35.634 Avenue just east of West Broadway. The subject property 00:09:35.634 --> 00:09:38.734 is 1.02 acres and abutt’s commercial property to the west, 00:09:38.734 --> 00:09:46.233 south and east, and single family houses to the north. The 00:09:46.233 --> 00:09:48.166 parcel is zoned transit-oriented development 00:09:48.166 --> 00:09:51.567 center District or a TODC. The properties to the west, south 00:09:51.567 --> 00:09:56.367 and east are also zoned to ODC and the areas to the north are 00:09:56.367 --> 00:10:02.233 zoned detached single family estate district or R1. The 00:10:02.233 --> 00:10:04.834 applicant is requesting approval for a preliminary plot 00:10:04.834 --> 00:10:11.367 for the creation of one lot as seen on the screen. The site 00:10:11.367 --> 00:10:14.000 plan depicts the existing building on the western side of 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:18.233 the property, parking lot and Frontage Road. The site plan 00:10:18.233 --> 00:10:20.834 application proposes a building addition for dry storage on the 00:10:20.834 --> 00:10:23.767 north side of the existing building, which includes a 00:10:23.767 --> 00:10:28.000 staging area for an overhead door. The site plan indicates 2 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.634 parking stalls will remain on the property, including one ADA 00:10:30.634 --> 00:10:37.467 parking stall. The applicant provided elevations so the show 00:10:37.467 --> 00:10:40.634 the architecture of the proposed building. One staging 00:10:40.634 --> 00:10:42.834 area adjacent to an overhead door is proposed on the east 00:10:42.834 --> 00:10:46.133 face of the building addition, and you can see that on the top 00:10:46.133 --> 00:10:50.233 image on the right side, and that line indicates um to the 00:10:50.233 --> 00:10:52.133 left is the existing building and to the right is the 00:10:52.133 --> 00:10:58.300 addition. Um, this staging area requires a variance as the 00:10:58.300 --> 00:10:59.867 proposed staging area is between the building and the 00:10:59.867 --> 00:11:05.767 right of way, which is not allowed in our our code. The 00:11:05.767 --> 00:11:08.467 variants request requires the three-factor test, the first of 00:11:08.467 --> 00:11:12.200 which is reasonableness and asks, is the use practical? Um, 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.800 the proposed staging area for this application is reasonable 00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:18.634 to support the existing business, BCS African Foods. 00:11:18.634 --> 00:11:21.500 The applicant um proposed a screening for the staging area 00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:25.467 on the north and the east sides of the building or of the, yeah, 00:11:25.467 --> 00:11:28.767 of the property, um, to reduce the visibility of that staging 00:11:28.767 --> 00:11:33.000 area from the public rights of way. The second test is 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.734 uniqueness are the uh circumstances on that property 00:11:35.734 --> 00:11:39.900 unique, and yes, so the property is bordered on the 00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:43.266 south by a road, the east by a different road and on the north, 00:11:43.266 --> 00:11:46.367 there isn’t a road, so there are 3 roads fronting the 00:11:46.367 --> 00:11:50.367 property which limit the, um, ability to add a, uh, a staging 00:11:50.367 --> 00:11:57.033 area. The third question is the essential characteristic of the 00:11:57.033 --> 00:12:00.800 neighborhood with this request be um changing the neighborhood 00:12:00.800 --> 00:12:04.033 of the uh characteristics. Um, this application would not 00:12:04.033 --> 00:12:06.166 alter the character of the neighborhood, the proposed 00:12:06.166 --> 00:12:09.767 building addition, both height and architectural materials are, 00:12:09.767 --> 00:12:17.767 um, similar, if not matching the existing building. Staff 00:12:17.767 --> 00:12:20.500 recommend approval of the preliminary plot variants and 00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:23.734 site plan with conditions as listed in the draft resolutions, 00:12:23.734 --> 00:12:29.033 and this concludes staff’s presentation. You Is the 00:12:29.033 --> 00:12:31.133 applicant here tonight? The applicant is available on the 00:12:31.133 --> 00:12:38.767 teams. On teams? Yes.

Um, but I believe what we’ve designed and 00:13:15.767 --> 00:13:22.467 planned. Is a is a great solution. So we welcome The 00:13:22.467 --> 00:13:27.567 chance to work with City of Brooklyn Park.

And none will close the public hearing and 00:13:49.734 --> 00:13:56.000 bring it back to the commission. I do have one question 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:00.266 regarding the parking, um, I saw that you are going to be 00:14:00.266 --> 00:14:04.567 removing 11 existing parking stall, and I was wondering what 00:14:04.567 --> 00:14:08.934 the uh rationale is there and, and how does that impact uh the 00:14:08.934 --> 00:14:17.500 uh Customer, um, Requirements for, for parking. Can answer 00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:19.533 from staff’s perspective and then pass it to the applicant 00:14:19.533 --> 00:14:24.900 if they would like to address. Oh, I’m sorry. Um, was for 00:14:24.900 --> 00:14:27.367 staff parking only. Because it’s towards the rear of the 00:14:27.367 --> 00:14:34.567 site. Um, the staff is typically 3 to 4, or I should 00:14:34.567 --> 00:14:41.533 say 3 to 5. Um, in any given shift. Um And I was just 00:14:41.533 --> 00:14:46.166 looking at the site plan. Additional, there’s there’s 00:14:46.166 --> 00:14:50.033 parking on the front. which faces Brooklyn Boulevard. And 00:14:50.033 --> 00:14:54.834 then There’s also additional parking that’s not shown on the 00:14:54.834 --> 00:15:00.867 site plan. On the east side. Just directly attached to that 00:15:00.867 --> 00:15:06.233 sidewalk. So there are Parking on the south. parking on the 00:15:06.233 --> 00:15:13.000 east. The parking to the north is being reduced. But that 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:19.367 parking on the north is for employees only. And again, the, 00:15:19.367 --> 00:15:25.834 the, the project is. retail in nature. And the addition I, uh, 00:15:25.834 --> 00:15:30.734 is dry storage. So we’re not We’re not welcoming any 00:15:30.734 --> 00:15:36.467 additional patrons. Uh, it’s, it’s, and the employee count 00:15:36.467 --> 00:15:40.800 will stay the same. Does that answer your question? Yes, 00:15:40.800 --> 00:15:49.233 thank you. Does anyone have any questions, comments? I have a 00:15:49.233 --> 00:16:01.000 question. Meeror Um, uh, it is on. Can you hear me? Um One of 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.734 the comments is that you’re proposing, oh, I lost my spot. 00:16:04.734 --> 00:16:10.233 Um Proposing screening for the staging area to attempt to 00:16:10.233 --> 00:16:12.834 reduce visibility from the public rights of way. What type 00:16:12.834 --> 00:16:21.200 of screening would you be proposing? Um, thanks for the 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.000 great question. I, I, it was hard to hear, but I think you 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.367 asked what sort of screening we were planning. And that would 00:16:28.367 --> 00:16:44.467 be landscape and plantings. OK. Thank you. So, yeah, there’s a 00:16:44.467 --> 00:16:49.033 quick follow up question on this, uh, so is this gonna be 00:16:49.033 --> 00:16:51.467 an addition? Is it going to be what’s going to put it is going 00:16:51.467 --> 00:16:55.166 to be attached to the existing building, uh, is that a 00:16:55.166 --> 00:16:59.634 separate? construction altogether. Did you did you 00:16:59.634 --> 00:17:03.400 hear it? Yeah, if you could repeat that, that would be 00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:07.867 great. Is the addition going to be attached to the existing 00:17:07.867 --> 00:17:13.100 structure, or is it going to be a separate building. It is, it 00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:18.900 is directly attached, um, er, can you bring up The um If you 00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:24.400 have a floor plan or that east elevation. Yes, let me pull the 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:32.233 east elevation. up. So the existing is labeled At the the 00:17:32.233 --> 00:17:37.033 the the top drawing, which is the proposed east elevation. 00:17:37.033 --> 00:17:42.166 The left side of that is is the existing store. And the right 00:17:42.166 --> 00:17:46.166 side of that. is the proposed edition. Showing the overhead 00:17:46.166 --> 00:17:54.634 door. OK. And uh secondly, is this uh how, how do you see the 00:17:54.634 --> 00:17:58.000 thing, how do you see this now because that’s a business 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.300 location. How do you, how do you think it was part The 00:18:03.300 --> 00:18:06.367 customers coming into that area because I, I’ve visited a few 00:18:06.367 --> 00:18:15.000 times. And Looking at apologize I couldn’t make that up. I’ll, 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.667 I’ll repeat the question. Can you finish. No, what I was 00:18:18.667 --> 00:18:23.233 trying to ask here is how would this impact Customs that are 00:18:23.233 --> 00:18:27.800 coming in and out of that place because if I got you right, 00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:32.634 you’re gonna be reducing parking stalls. And Even the 00:18:32.634 --> 00:18:36.266 way the existing. Location right now in the parking is not 00:18:36.266 --> 00:18:42.467 out there. Great. Great question. Kara, could you go 00:18:42.467 --> 00:18:52.834 back to the site plan? Is that what you need? The site plans. 00:18:52.834 --> 00:19:00.367 Perfect. So As I mentioned, there is parking. On the south, 00:19:00.367 --> 00:19:05.166 which is shown on the site plan. And there is existing parking. 00:19:05.166 --> 00:19:10.500 Which is for some reason is not indicated on this site plan. 00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:15.867 But it is along the east. Side of the building. Um, and again, 00:19:15.867 --> 00:19:23.367 we’re, we’re not increasing. Uh, any pat patronage. So the 00:19:23.367 --> 00:19:31.300 parking count for to the public. does not need to change. OK, 00:19:31.300 --> 00:19:39.900 thank you. Commissioner, thank you. Uh, this is for, for staff 00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:44.800 maybe uh to um. Respond to there is a letter from, you 00:19:44.800 --> 00:19:51.100 know, the Hennepin County uh looked into. A comment from 00:19:51.100 --> 00:19:57.000 accessibility point of view and And also this is, you know, 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.800 adjacent or close to Metro Blue Line extension project that 00:20:00.800 --> 00:20:07.100 might be coming. So Still, there are pending items uh till 00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:12.000 they get a final play, you know, play. But how is stuff, you 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.133 know, they didn’t give a concluded, you know, 00:20:15.133 --> 00:20:20.000 recommendation rather they have questions. So how did the staff 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:25.367 look into that and. And uh this uh. You know, that’s really the 00:20:25.367 --> 00:20:29.667 main corridor where the blue line extension comes through 00:20:29.667 --> 00:20:34.934 and if we are really converting a parking lots, that’s gonna 00:20:34.934 --> 00:20:38.767 reduce, you know, the parking availability for The station 00:20:38.767 --> 00:20:43.767 where, you know, people park for future use, so. What’s, uh, 00:20:43.767 --> 00:20:48.767 what’s uh. remark from that point of view. Thank you, Vice 00:20:48.767 --> 00:20:50.900 Chair and planning commissioners. So there’s a 00:20:50.900 --> 00:20:54.667 couple of points, um, so the Hennepin County, uh, Platte 00:20:54.667 --> 00:20:59.467 review did request or um suggest that a sidewalk be 00:20:59.467 --> 00:21:02.100 extended from West Broadway or um Brooklyn Boulevard, which is 00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:05.767 on the south where there is an existing sidewalk up north to 00:21:05.767 --> 00:21:09.233 connect, uh, pedestrians. This is a suggestion and not it’s 00:21:09.233 --> 00:21:12.634 not required. Um, and I believe that the applicant is looking 00:21:12.634 --> 00:21:17.567 into, uh, whether or not they want to pursue that from a blue 00:21:17.567 --> 00:21:20.166 line extension perspective, it is quite close to the station, 00:21:20.166 --> 00:21:24.100 but staff do not have a, uh, the ability to require sidewalk 00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:26.634 to be installed on Kentucky Avenue North because it’s not 00:21:26.634 --> 00:21:30.467 an arterial, that is the, the trigger, the requirement to 00:21:30.467 --> 00:21:34.200 request a sidewalk. Um, I’ll also note that for the blue 00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.934 line extension we will not be allowing folks to park at 00:21:36.934 --> 00:21:39.767 private businesses to then walk to the station and use the 00:21:39.767 --> 00:21:50.266 train. With the So the existing parcel, the entire parcel, the 00:21:50.266 --> 00:21:55.634 5000. Square foot that’s owned by same owner. I believe that 00:21:55.634 --> 00:21:59.867 the property is owned by uh BCS African Foods, yes. OK Thank 00:21:59.867 --> 00:22:19.500 you. Thank you. Yeah Hi, I just have a quick question, um. It 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:24.300 says here that the applicant must provide a landscape plan 00:22:24.300 --> 00:22:28.667 that meets screening requirements outlined in 152. 00:22:28.667 --> 00:22:38.200 1024B. Why wasn’t that? Included, why is that uh Uh, 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.467 why, why, why, why was that excluded, uh, from being 00:22:42.467 --> 00:22:46.367 considered. At the moment. Yes, thank you, commissioners. Um, 00:22:46.367 --> 00:22:50.100 this is a good question. So we had a review by the fire 00:22:50.100 --> 00:22:53.166 department and the fire department required that the 00:22:53.166 --> 00:22:55.767 trash enclosure be moved 5 ft from the building. So that was 00:22:55.767 --> 00:22:59.100 part of the reason that the vegetation, uh, screening was 00:22:59.100 --> 00:23:03.367 not required or not originally indicated, um, just north of 00:23:03.367 --> 00:23:05.734 the staging area, um, and I believe that the applicant can 00:23:05.734 --> 00:23:09.734 correct me if I’m wrong on this, but their landscape, um. 00:23:09.734 --> 00:23:13.000 Designer could not turn around our comments in time for this 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:15.166 meeting, but they will be required to meet those 00:23:15.166 --> 00:23:18.767 standards before a city council approves. And so there’s a 00:23:18.767 --> 00:23:20.367 couple of different requirements, one of which is 00:23:20.367 --> 00:23:25.166 that they need to provide vegetation with the, um, at 00:23:25.166 --> 00:23:28.033 least 80% opacity at 3 ft height, and then also, um, on 00:23:28.033 --> 00:23:30.500 those two sides on Kentucky Avenue North and Kentucky 00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:43.834 Circle North. Thank you. And. Go ahead, Commissioner Cain. 00:23:43.834 --> 00:23:49.100 All right, thank you. And this is for the, the, the staff, um, 00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:53.467 so with this addition, uh, we are probably adding a little 00:23:53.467 --> 00:24:00.367 more uh 30% add to the existing building. I, uh, I recall and 00:24:00.367 --> 00:24:07.900 um I thought in our uh Guidelines and standards uh 00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:11.634 that um uh uh an applicant would have to meet the, the new 00:24:11.634 --> 00:24:15.300 design criteria for the exterior. Which I, I forget 00:24:15.300 --> 00:24:19.133 what the, the colors and the, the brick and things of that 00:24:19.133 --> 00:24:24.533 nature, uh. Is my question is, is, uh, uh, does this not apply? 00:24:24.533 --> 00:24:33.634 Thank you, um, Curhan, um, this, so The architectural standards 00:24:33.634 --> 00:24:38.767 do have class 1 and class 2 materials, would prefer that 00:24:38.767 --> 00:24:41.200 the applicant have matching materials to the existing 00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:44.734 building, as opposed to providing materials that don’t 00:24:44.734 --> 00:24:47.533 match the existing building to keep, to to to talk about the 00:24:47.533 --> 00:24:50.734 variants to keep in context with the existing, um, 00:24:50.734 --> 00:24:59.667 neighborhood. OK, great. And my second question and uh this is 00:24:59.667 --> 00:25:06.000 just uh um Uh, respectfully, just, just my own the uh 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.100 concern here, uh, about the, uh, uh, current development related 00:25:11.100 --> 00:25:16.667 fees outline in the section 2.0. Uh, specifically the, you know, 00:25:16.667 --> 00:25:21.467 73,000, uh, you know, approximate development bond of 00:25:21.467 --> 00:25:27.634 the 3800 cash bond,,,, 2300 escrow and $8000 and park 00:25:27.634 --> 00:25:33.767 dedication fees. Well, I, uh, understand the, the intent 00:25:33.767 --> 00:25:37.166 behind those requirements to protect, you know, the city and 00:25:37.166 --> 00:25:44.500 ensure quality development. Seems like, uh, we should 00:25:44.500 --> 00:25:46.767 reexamine the unintended the consequences for a small 00:25:46.767 --> 00:25:52.000 business owners. Particularly those that are looking to 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.200 reinvest and uh their existing properties, right? So here’s a, 00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:00.500 here’s a small business owner that uh is want to reinvest in 00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:04.800 the city and uh, you know, we, we are putting, you know, 00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:07.634 additional costs on the cost burden that, you know, I don’t 00:26:07.634 --> 00:26:12.834 know if it’s, it’s, you know, necessary, so if we want to be 00:26:12.834 --> 00:26:16.500 a city where small business can thrive, you know, I think we 00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:20.767 need to either lower the threshold for participation. or 00:26:20.767 --> 00:26:23.467 not just through incentives, but rethinking how our fee 00:26:23.467 --> 00:26:28.400 structure, uh, Uh, reflects projects, uh, at scale, things 00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:32.634 of that nature. So, I just proposed that uh we direct 00:26:32.634 --> 00:26:37.300 staff to review the bonding and dedication fee structure to 00:26:37.300 --> 00:26:41.634 assess whether exemptions or Reductions or scale models 00:26:41.634 --> 00:26:44.834 could better support small business reinvestment without 00:26:44.834 --> 00:26:51.400 compromising the city financial, uh, safeguards, so. Um I don’t 00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.166 know if uh, you know, if we could uh have someone go review 00:26:55.166 --> 00:26:59.233 that. But to me, it’s just a burden that we want small 00:26:59.233 --> 00:27:03.467 businesses to thrive in Brooklyn Park and to, to 00:27:03.467 --> 00:27:07.300 continue to uh invest in Brooklyn Park, uh, why the 00:27:07.300 --> 00:27:12.033 additional burden on them, so. Thank you, Chair Keen, um, uh, 00:27:12.033 --> 00:27:15.367 First of all, I think staff agrees. Um, we were just 00:27:15.367 --> 00:27:19.033 talking about that earlier today. Um, so I appreciate that 00:27:19.033 --> 00:27:21.634 comment and we will take a look internally and get back to the 00:27:21.634 --> 00:27:23.867 planning commission on that topic. I appreciate it. Thank 00:27:23.867 --> 00:27:35.667 you. Any other questions, comments? Um, I just have one 00:27:35.667 --> 00:27:40.734 quick question, um. I see here we are told to consider 3 00:27:40.734 --> 00:27:47.834 motions. Uh, you know, in order to approve this, uh. Project Uh, 00:27:47.834 --> 00:27:51.767 why, why 3 motions. Why couldn’t that have been 00:27:51.767 --> 00:27:54.734 consolidated into one motion. Um, you know, you know, just 00:27:54.734 --> 00:28:00.166 piggybacking on uh. You know, you know, uh. Question, 00:28:00.166 --> 00:28:03.900 concerns, you know, because it looks it looks like um the uh 00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:08.133 applicant has to jump through 3 hoops. To to to get this done, 00:28:08.133 --> 00:28:11.033 um, you know, again, you know, like I said, I’m following up 00:28:11.033 --> 00:28:15.634 why. These 3 hoops. Why don’t you, you know, simplify it so, 00:28:15.634 --> 00:28:19.834 so that the applicants. could just come in here and and and 00:28:19.834 --> 00:28:24.200 and get it done by one simple motion and you know.

Thank you. Any other questions and comments? 00:28:52.467 --> 00:29:01.000 Right. So we will, uh, I will, um, entertain uh emotion. A 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:06.300 mixed motion.

Um, so 00:32:39.266 --> 00:32:44.133 this is just a general location map, um Baps Temple has 00:32:44.133 --> 00:32:49.500 submitted CUP applications to use 8700 Wyoming Avenue North 00:32:49.500 --> 00:32:53.767 as a religious institution and for the operation of a rectory 00:32:53.767 --> 00:32:57.667 as an exclusive accessory use to that religious institution. 00:32:57.667 --> 00:33:02.834 Um, here you can see according to the general location map on 00:33:02.834 --> 00:33:06.000 at the property location is just northwest of eighty-fifth 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:16.233 and West Broadway. So 8700 Wyoming Avenue North is one 00:33:16.233 --> 00:33:20.000 parcel located in the Enterprise Park edition. Uh, 00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.934 Enterprise Park was established in October 1991. A CUP allowing 00:33:24.934 --> 00:33:28.000 the operation of a religious institution has not been 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:35.367 previously granted for this property. This map shows the 00:33:35.367 --> 00:33:40.166 zoning districts of adjacent properties, uh, in relation to 00:33:40.166 --> 00:33:42.567 uh 8700 Wyoming Avenue North, uh, as you can see from this 00:33:42.567 --> 00:33:47.634 map, uh, zoning designations of the adjacent properties include 00:33:47.634 --> 00:33:52.467 multiple family R4 district to the east and business park to 00:33:52.467 --> 00:34:00.400 the southwest and north. Now this is an overview of the 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:03.567 city’s criteria for applicants, uh, when submitting CUP 00:34:03.567 --> 00:34:06.400 applications. Um, as you can see in the attachments that 00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:10.100 were included in the staff report, uh, Babs Temple has 00:34:10.100 --> 00:34:16.500 satisfied these requirements. So included in the applica uh 00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:22.100 applicants submittal was, um. Two different uh architectural 00:34:22.100 --> 00:34:27.166 analysis is done.

Um, and I Architectural analysis 00:34:37.934 --> 00:34:41.567 was the scope of the plan set for the CUP application. This 00:34:41.567 --> 00:34:45.400 is versus a formal site plan. Um, the exterior renderings 00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:50.634 include a site summary, which include a site area of 8.71 00:34:50.634 --> 00:34:54.500 acres, 232 parking spaces and a screen waste enclosure. I’m 00:34:54.500 --> 00:34:58.734 just a note about the parking spaces is Steph has reviewed on 00:34:58.734 --> 00:35:02.467 the parking spaces against the number counts um that were 00:35:02.467 --> 00:35:05.100 included in the staff reports and provided by the applicant, 00:35:05.100 --> 00:35:08.767 and there’s more than sufficient parking demands, um, 00:35:08.767 --> 00:35:12.367 at peak times, um. For the applicants in their proposed 00:35:12.367 --> 00:35:20.500 use. Uh, this is an interior rendering, um, which also 00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:23.634 includes a code summary, included, uh, in the 00:35:23.634 --> 00:35:27.033 anticipated areas, um, is, but they’re proposing as a, as a 00:35:27.033 --> 00:35:31.166 rectory, uh, staff from the city’s building fire and 00:35:31.166 --> 00:35:33.834 engineering departments have approved the rendering 00:35:33.834 --> 00:35:37.033 submitted for this specific application with the 00:35:37.033 --> 00:35:39.734 understanding that additional review will take place when a 00:35:39.734 --> 00:35:45.100 building permit application is submitted for a staff review. 00:35:45.100 --> 00:35:48.834 So again, just an overview, I know commissioners, you’ve seen 00:35:48.834 --> 00:35:52.033 this before, uh, but religious institutions are conditional 00:35:52.033 --> 00:35:57.467 use in the business park district, uh, pursuant to 00:35:57.467 --> 00:36:01.200 Section 152305 of the zoning code, uh, the listed factors 00:36:01.200 --> 00:36:04.467 are used when making a determination on a conditional 00:36:04.467 --> 00:36:07.500 use permit application. Planning staff have reviewed 00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:10.734 the plan against these requirements and uh staff has 00:36:10.734 --> 00:36:17.100 determined that the requirements have been met. 00:36:17.100 --> 00:36:22.567 slide does give and um. An application analysis, uh, 00:36:22.567 --> 00:36:26.367 against the CUP application. So you do see how a religious 00:36:26.367 --> 00:36:29.000 institution is defined, uh, in the zoning code. You also see 00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:36.400 table, and I’ll just move this up, um, table 152.609.1. Uh 00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.567 this outlines the principal uses in non-residential 00:36:39.567 --> 00:36:43.400 districts. Uh, the business park district is located in a 00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.033 non-residential district. You can see, uh, just from my 00:36:46.033 --> 00:36:48.800 highlights there, where religious institution is listed 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:52.734 as a condition. use, as well as uh directory is listed as a 00:36:52.734 --> 00:36:57.233 conditional use. And then just a caveat about rectories is 00:36:57.233 --> 00:37:02.567 that they are allowed as an exclu exclusive accessory use 00:37:02.567 --> 00:37:05.500 to religious institutions, um, so when you’re reviewing your 00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:08.900 staff report, you saw that the CUP was drafted and, and the 00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:12.100 CUPs were drafted in a way that it would, um, first be granting 00:37:12.100 --> 00:37:15.367 one for the religious institution, and then the 00:37:15.367 --> 00:37:26.000 rectory contingent to that. So this first slide um is the 00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:32.367 conditions of approval for the religious institution? And then 00:37:32.367 --> 00:37:35.567 the second slide, um, again is the conditions of approval for 00:37:35.567 --> 00:37:40.467 a rectory. Um, again, this, uh, CUP and these conditions here 00:37:40.467 --> 00:37:43.734 on the slide are subject to the requirements and the approval 00:37:43.734 --> 00:37:52.100 of the previous uh CUP that was listed on the last slide. With 00:37:52.100 --> 00:37:54.834 that staff’s recommendation, uh, is approval of both conditional 00:37:54.834 --> 00:37:58.100 use permits, one for the operation of a religious 00:37:58.100 --> 00:38:01.767 institution, and then the second, um, for an operation of 00:38:01.767 --> 00:38:06.634 of a rectory inside of that religious institution. With 00:38:06.634 --> 00:38:09.367 that, that, uh, concludes staff’s report, and I’ll stand 00:38:09.367 --> 00:38:13.000 for any questions. Thank you.

I, yeah, maybe it’s designed 00:43:43.634 --> 00:43:48.300 within the plan, but I thought, uh, with the rectory that uh 00:43:48.300 --> 00:43:52.634 you needed a, uh, you know, private bedroom, a full 00:43:52.634 --> 00:43:58.400 bathroom and shower, kitchen access, um, Um, kind of a 00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:04.767 living and, you know, seating area and then I thought the um 00:44:04.767 --> 00:44:08.100 The, uh, heating and ventilation has got to be kind 00:44:08.100 --> 00:44:12.367 of separate from, uh, uh, uh, from the overall building 00:44:12.367 --> 00:44:18.100 perspective. Is that true and do they have plans to have a 00:44:18.100 --> 00:44:22.033 separate, if you will, if you will, living quarters within um 00:44:22.033 --> 00:44:26.166 the space.

Several times a day, 00:48:45.233 --> 00:48:51.867 pretty much. So how is the The traffic going in and out of 00:48:51.867 --> 00:48:56.467 that. Location acting Frazier, members of the planning 00:48:56.467 --> 00:49:00.634 commission. So, um, the in and out of um access to the 00:49:00.634 --> 00:49:03.934 property is limited to Wyoming Avenue. So if you go to that 00:49:03.934 --> 00:49:08.033 usage chart, it is in that business park district, um, and 00:49:08.033 --> 00:49:12.834 there is, um. You can see exits and entrances north and south 00:49:12.834 --> 00:49:18.367 of the property, that would be utilized. OK, thank you for 00:49:18.367 --> 00:49:26.834 your answers. Hold Um, I This question might be more. To the 00:49:26.834 --> 00:49:31.634 staff than uh.

My 00:50:03.900 --> 00:50:06.300 understanding is the language that you’re referring to as the 00:50:06.300 --> 00:50:08.100 alternatives in the staff report, is that right? That’s 00:50:08.100 --> 00:50:13.734 correct, yes. OK. Um, that would be is if you have any um 00:50:13.734 --> 00:50:17.400 Uh, any additional or maybe removal of these conditions 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:23.400 that are listed for either of the CUPs, um, that, um. you 00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:28.734 think would be necessary. OK, um, yeah, I understand that 00:50:28.734 --> 00:50:33.100 because, um, you know, uh, you know, you know what the CUPSR 00:50:33.100 --> 00:50:37.200 now is very kind of bland in my, you know, estimate, you know, 00:50:37.200 --> 00:50:39.934 they are waiting for something to happen before something else 00:50:39.934 --> 00:50:43.634 happens. So, uh, it’s difficult to offer any kind of 00:50:43.634 --> 00:50:47.033 modifications without knowing what to modify. So, um, so 00:50:47.033 --> 00:50:50.667 that’s where, um. I’m having some, uh, you know, I had some, 00:50:50.667 --> 00:50:56.667 you know, you know, um. Our concerns, but confusion with 00:50:56.667 --> 00:51:01.734 the language. So, so, um So right now what we are 00:51:01.734 --> 00:51:07.100 considering is just To consider if they can purchase the build 00:51:07.100 --> 00:51:09.767 or if they’ll be able to do anything after they purchased 00:51:09.767 --> 00:51:13.500 the building. Is that correct? That is correct. Um, so what 00:51:13.500 --> 00:51:17.533 you would be approving if you do approve are the conditions 00:51:17.533 --> 00:51:21.000 listed one for this religious institution and then second for 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:24.800 the rectory, so two different CUPs, so it would be these 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:27.900 exact conditions, um, that these conditions have been 00:51:27.900 --> 00:51:32.166 vetted by staff. They do, just to use an example, um, the 00:51:32.166 --> 00:51:34.834 architect had mentioned about needing to come. men for 00:51:34.834 --> 00:51:38.100 building permit review, that is covered under number one. So 00:51:38.100 --> 00:51:42.467 the applicant will need to meet um the building code 00:51:42.467 --> 00:51:45.767 requirements, um, when they ultimately do submit a building 00:51:45.767 --> 00:51:49.400 permit application. So they will need to meet all those 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:54.100 requirements. Um, we do use, I, we do use general language, um, 00:51:54.100 --> 00:51:58.367 a lot of times for these conditions. You are correct. OK, 00:51:58.367 --> 00:52:01.567 that is after they have purchased the building which 00:52:01.567 --> 00:52:05.367 they haven’t done it yet. I will refer, I guess to the 00:52:05.367 --> 00:52:09.000 planning director. My understanding is this is not a 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:14.500 contingent to the sale. A chairreer members of the 00:52:14.500 --> 00:52:18.100 commission, you know, certainly the, the, the step of applying 00:52:18.100 --> 00:52:21.634 for a building permit, you know, that, that can’t happen until 00:52:21.634 --> 00:52:26.667 the, the sale occurs, um, uh, on the property and, and, um, 00:52:26.667 --> 00:52:29.000 so, you know, that, that’s a later step. I think what what 00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.634 can be what’s kind of a head scratcher here is, is that, you 00:52:32.634 --> 00:52:35.734 know, often as a planning commission, we’re accustomed to, 00:52:35.734 --> 00:52:41.133 you know, looking at at physical changes to a property, 00:52:41.133 --> 00:52:45.533 um, and, you know, offering. asking questions and offering 00:52:45.533 --> 00:52:48.567 comments on physical changes, you know, often in the form of 00:52:48.567 --> 00:52:52.100 a site plan review in this particular case, there aren’t 00:52:52.100 --> 00:52:56.634 any changes to the site that are proposed, um, and nor are 00:52:56.634 --> 00:53:00.867 there any changes necessary to accommodate this proposed use, 00:53:00.867 --> 00:53:03.567 um, and we, you know, as the commission, we’re not usually 00:53:03.567 --> 00:53:07.367 getting into the weeds of the interior floor plan, cause 00:53:07.367 --> 00:53:09.367 that’s not usually necessary, you know, for the type of 00:53:09.367 --> 00:53:11.634 business that’s before the commission, um, in terms of a 00:53:11.634 --> 00:53:16.300 conditional use per. our site plan review and so on. So, um, 00:53:16.300 --> 00:53:19.767 That, that, that I, I can see, I can understand the question 00:53:19.767 --> 00:53:23.266 because there isn’t a lot to get your hands on on this one. 00:53:23.266 --> 00:53:26.467 It’s just, you know, can they meet the conditions for, for 00:53:26.467 --> 00:53:29.166 the use for the, for the religious institution and for 00:53:29.166 --> 00:53:33.000 the accessories of the rectory, it’s, it’s, um, But that’s all, 00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:39.834 that’s all that’s on the table. If the sale falls through and 00:53:39.834 --> 00:53:43.000 we pass this, could somebody else come in and then 00:53:43.000 --> 00:53:47.367 automatically go do that. Um, at the chair Frazier, uh, 00:53:47.367 --> 00:53:50.467 members of the planning mission, uh, CUPs do run with the 00:53:50.467 --> 00:53:54.834 property, so if um the CP was granted tonight, um, it would 00:53:54.834 --> 00:53:59.567 run with the property. Now, if it, so your your um example was 00:53:59.567 --> 00:54:03.200 that they would come in and use it as a religious institution, 00:54:03.200 --> 00:54:06.500 so theoretically then yes, they could use it with the, the CUP 00:54:06.500 --> 00:54:11.867 as granted. Thank you. And you know, they could also any 00:54:11.867 --> 00:54:15.033 future owner also has all the other rights conveyed to the 00:54:15.033 --> 00:54:17.133 property through this zoning district. So, you know, it’s 00:54:17.133 --> 00:54:19.634 not to say this has to be a religious institution, yeah, 00:54:19.634 --> 00:54:34.767 right. Any other questions, comments? Yes You, you on one 00:54:34.767 --> 00:54:40.734 side on the on the at least on the. North side, right? So It 00:54:40.734 --> 00:54:46.634 is a is a parking fence or? Can you please say that again? The 00:54:46.634 --> 00:54:54.500 parking fencer. Oh, I see, um. I don’t know if there’s a fence, 00:54:54.500 --> 00:54:57.634 I guess along that I’m unaware of that being the case of 00:54:57.634 --> 00:55:00.634 whether there is a fence, um, running the length of that 00:55:00.634 --> 00:55:06.166 property. There’s um. There’s screening on the, on the 00:55:06.166 --> 00:55:11.100 western on the eastern portion of the property between the The 00:55:11.100 --> 00:55:14.367 between the parking lot and the town homes. There is, there is 00:55:14.367 --> 00:55:19.100 a, there is a landscape landscaping landscaping, 00:55:19.100 --> 00:55:23.834 landscaping and a, and a fence, OK. Yes, there is an actual 00:55:23.834 --> 00:55:29.734 fence. There is, OK, OK, good. Um, just to maybe for, for the, 00:55:29.734 --> 00:55:34.634 the intended user. Are there any, um, plan, you know, like 00:55:34.634 --> 00:55:37.200 cars staying overnight or, you know, what’s the management 00:55:37.200 --> 00:55:44.200 looks like at this. You know, um, or in terms of, you know, 00:55:44.200 --> 00:55:48.500 cars being abandoned or anything. Great you want In 00:55:48.500 --> 00:55:53.233 other words I. Um, actinger Frasier members of the planning 00:55:53.233 --> 00:55:55.900 commission. We do anticipate there would be overnight 00:55:55.900 --> 00:56:01.233 parking for that wreck to reuse, um, so, um, somebody who’s 00:56:01.233 --> 00:56:03.367 associated with the religious institutions staying there, 00:56:03.367 --> 00:56:08.800 living there, um, on property, so yes, there would be that, um, 00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:13.000 anticipation for there would be some overnight parking for that 00:56:13.000 --> 00:56:17.233 person or persons who would be um residing in the rectory. 00:56:17.233 --> 00:56:26.834 Yeah Thank you. Any other questions, comments? I do have 00:56:26.834 --> 00:56:31.667 one question about the rectory, um. The construction of that, 00:56:31.667 --> 00:56:36.467 is that going to align with the existing um. Look and feel of 00:56:36.467 --> 00:56:41.300 the building. Um, acting chair Frasier members the planning 00:56:41.300 --> 00:56:44.567 commission, um, no modifications are being made to 00:56:44.567 --> 00:56:47.734 the exterior, um, so this will all be interior modification. 00:56:47.734 --> 00:56:50.900 So even the rectory will be entirely within the current 00:56:50.900 --> 00:57:00.166 structure.

Thank you. 01:00:04.734 --> 01:00:10.567 Thank you, council member. Planning Commission. Any 01:00:10.567 --> 01:00:21.367 comments from the planning commission. I The car washing 01:00:21.367 --> 01:00:26.667 by the festival that’s closing or closed. Is there a car wash 01:00:26.667 --> 01:00:28.634 by festival that’s closing. There’s a car Way festival 01:00:28.634 --> 01:00:31.100 that’s under construction. Under construction. Yeah. OK. 01:00:31.100 --> 01:00:37.400 Yeah. The hair is so OK. That’s uh that came through planning 01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:41.033 commission as the clean freak car wash actually came through 01:00:41.033 --> 01:00:45.367 twice, um, second time for assign variance, yeah. I have, 01:00:45.367 --> 01:00:49.567 I have a quick question, um, what’s, what’s going on on uh? 01:00:49.567 --> 01:00:54.467 Brook Brooklyn, uh Boulevard by uh Boom Avenue, you know, 01:00:54.467 --> 01:00:57.100 there’s a road closure there. What’s happening there? Are 01:00:57.100 --> 01:01:03.467 they Brooklyn Boulevard and Boone. No, not, that’s not boon, 01:01:03.467 --> 01:01:08.900 though, um, by, you know, close to boon, you know, as a. Uh, um, 01:01:08.900 --> 01:01:14.100 um. Is it road construction or or or or developer or I think 01:01:14.100 --> 01:01:16.233 it’s a road construction, you know, there’s the road is 01:01:16.233 --> 01:01:19.467 closed. I’m just wondering what’s what I don’t know. I’m 01:01:19.467 --> 01:01:33.233 sorry. Yeah, I don’t know. Yeah Last time we were together. The 01:01:33.233 --> 01:01:38.166 microphone has a mind of its own. Yeah. Yeah, I think it’s 01:01:38.166 --> 01:01:40.867 they turned it on upstairs. Remember to turn on your mics, 01:01:40.867 --> 01:01:44.233 everybody. Yeah. I think I’m taking it on. OK, anyway, but I 01:01:44.233 --> 01:01:51.800 wanted to note, uh, what it is um. Uh, I’m I’m from Brooklyn 01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:57.367 Boulevard, uh. What Brooklyn Boulevard, I can’t get the name 01:01:57.367 --> 01:02:04.767 of the street correctly, I think 7676 Avenue. a building 01:02:04.767 --> 01:02:08.567 under construction. Yeah, but, but it, but it, African foods 01:02:08.567 --> 01:02:12.767 that is, that’s Christina’s childcare. Mhm OK, yeah. I’ve 01:02:12.767 --> 01:02:17.100 been saying it and I was like, I, I did they mention this in 01:02:17.100 --> 01:02:19.266 our meeting because I just lived not too far from there, 01:02:19.266 --> 01:02:22.867 so, you know, my eyes were kind of. Yeah, that’s um that’s um 01:02:22.867 --> 01:02:26.634 um. Property formerly owned by the city’s economic development 01:02:26.634 --> 01:02:28.834 authority. This is a project that’s been years in the making, 01:02:28.834 --> 01:02:32.767 so it’s exciting to see it. The work is going on strong for 01:02:32.767 --> 01:02:38.467 what I’ve seen so far, so let’s go. Yeah Is there a limit to 01:02:38.467 --> 01:02:42.834 how many car washes the city could have. Or, uh, you know, a 01:02:42.834 --> 01:02:46.000 saturation of a market. I’m just curious. So the question 01:02:46.000 --> 01:02:48.634 is, is there a limit to how many car washes the city can 01:02:48.634 --> 01:02:55.100 have, um. I think the best way I can answer that is Generally 01:02:55.100 --> 01:02:57.734 speaking, we’re running out of places in the city where and 01:02:57.734 --> 01:03:05.266 car washes would be allowed. Um And I would, I, you know, at 01:03:05.266 --> 01:03:07.900 risk of speaking for the entire city council, which is not my 01:03:07.900 --> 01:03:12.667 role. I will say that it’s pretty clear that the council’s 01:03:12.667 --> 01:03:17.100 intent with development, uh, you know, is shifting to higher 01:03:17.100 --> 01:03:20.200 value development contributes more to the city’s tax base, um, 01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:24.367 car washes of course are an important part of life for 01:03:24.367 --> 01:03:27.233 folks who drive cars, um, but they do not do much to 01:03:27.233 --> 01:03:30.767 contribute to the city’s tax base like on a value per acre 01:03:30.767 --> 01:03:34.100 kind of a measure, um, We’ve been looking at over the last 01:03:34.100 --> 01:03:37.934 couple of years, um, so I, I wouldn’t anticipate that we’d 01:03:37.934 --> 01:03:40.467 be opening up a lot of new areas for, for, for uses such 01:03:40.467 --> 01:03:53.734 as that. Any other questions, comments? All right, we’ll move 01:03:53.734 --> 01:04:01.734 to staff liaison comments. Oh, me, OK, um, so just a 01:04:01.734 --> 01:04:06.467 commissioner’s, um, so 2 weeks from tonight is regularly 01:04:06.467 --> 01:04:09.734 scheduled work session. Do not plan on there being a meeting 01:04:09.734 --> 01:04:16.133 that night, um, for July, stay tuned. We currently do not have 01:04:16.133 --> 01:04:19.634 any applications in, um, for consideration at their regular 01:04:19.634 --> 01:04:24.033 meeting, um, however. Um, you know, we know that there are 01:04:24.033 --> 01:04:27.000 some discussion items that both staff and planning commission 01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:29.734 are interested in, you know, talking about we’re still 01:04:29.734 --> 01:04:34.800 interested in, you know, on working on kind of the, uh, 01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:37.467 planning education about about laws and and review processes 01:04:37.467 --> 01:04:40.734 like we did last month with our engineering colleagues, um, so 01:04:40.734 --> 01:04:43.934 we’ll, we’ll be looking at, you know, what’s next for that and, 01:04:43.934 --> 01:04:46.033 and kind of what the schedule will be for the rest of the 01:04:46.033 --> 01:04:51.367 summer. So, um. Stay tuned, um, for what, what that schedule 01:04:51.367 --> 01:04:54.567 will, will be, uh, and whether there will be a meeting, a 01:04:54.567 --> 01:04:58.467 regular meeting in July, um. On that. So I think that’s all 01:04:58.467 --> 01:05:05.367 I’ve got. Thank you. Thank you. So that concludes our agenda
