M N Page 1 of 2 CONSENT ITEM – 8C MEMORANDUM DATE: May 27, 2025 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator FROM: Elena Fransen, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #24-018 – Trident Development Agreement Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: • Development Agreement for Trident Development based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 24-018 on January 13, 2025 and the City Council adoption of Resolution 2025-040 on May 12, 2025. Background On January 13, 2025, the City Council approved a Master and Final Panned Unit Development, Final Plat, Site Plan Review, Conditional Use Permit and Easement Vacation for Trident Development (“Developer”) at 1700 Highway 96 W. The project was approved with 33 conditions. The project would subdivide the property into two conforming lots, to facilitate construction of a 162,819 square foot, 119-unit multiple family dwelling on an approximately 41.10-acre property, and construct additional parking for the existing house of worship. On April 28, 2025, the City Council reviewed a request to modify language in the Conditions of Approval in Resolution 2025-007 based on the Planning Case approval. The nature of the request was to modify Condition 28, which established that the Developer would be responsible for the cost and installation of 1,373 linear feet of trail along Snelling Avenue and within Snelling Avenue right-of-way, adjacent to the Subject Property, to serve as a connection to Royal Hills. The Developer proposed to make a financial contribution toward the cost of the trail in place of bearing the total expense of the 1,373-foot trail as referenced in Condition 28. The Developer also requested updated language to Condition 29, which references a 396-foot trail segment associated with the Development. The City Council tabled this item for review at the next Council meeting. At the May 12, 2025, City Council meeting, the Council approved Resolution 2025-040 and proposed language to modify Resolution 2025-007. The City Council approved amending Condition 28 to read: Page 2 of 2 28. The Applicant shall contribute $200,000 to the cost of installing a trail along Snelling Avenue and within Snelling Avenue right-of-way to serve as a connection to Royal Hills Park. The City shall complete the construction of the trail. Trail costs in excess of $200,000 will be paid by the City using funds from the Applicant’s park development fee. The City Council also struck Condition 29 of Resolution 2025-007. This project requires a Development Agreement between the City and the Developer before the development permits can be issued. The City Attorney has prepared the Agreement reflective of both resolutions and the document has been reviewed and approved by the Applicant and staff (Attachment A). Options and Motion Language Staff has provided the following motion language for this case. 1. Approval: Motion to approve the Development Agreement for Trident Development based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 24-018 on January 13, 2025 and the City Council adoption of Resolution 2025-040 on May 12, 2025. 2. Denial: Motion to deny the Development Agreement for Trident Development based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 24-018 on January 13, 2025 and the City Council adoption of Resolution 2025-040 on May 12, 2025: the City Council should identify findings to deny should specifically reference the reasons for denial and why those reasons cannot be mitigated. 3. Table: Motion to table the Development Agreement for Trident Development based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 24-018 on January 13, 2025 and the City Council adoption of Resolution 2025-040 on May 12, 2025.

David Grant, Mayor ATTEST: Julie Hanson, City Clerk Page 1 of 9 PUBLIC HEARING – 10A MEMORANDUM DATE: May 27, 2025 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Jessica Jagoe, City Administrator FROM: Elena Fransen, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #25-003 – Public Hearing Required Applicant: City of Arden Hills Request: Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Thrift Store Use Council Should Consider Hold the required public hearing for Planning Case 25-003, a text amendment to the Zoning Code to modify definitions for thrift store use, determine zoning districts for thrift store use, and establish performance standards for thrift store use. The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item 11B. Background History of thrift store land use definition At the October 19, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff presented possible revisions to the Zoning Code to address retail and resale businesses as directed by the City Council. Revisions were drafted after staff completed research on the operational characteristics of thrift stores, such as receiving materials and processing items for resale. At the December 21, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff shared two separate definitions to clarify the difference between “Retail Sales and Services” and “Thrift Store” establishments. Staff also shared drafted Conditional Use Permit criteria for Thrift Stores. The drafted amendments were reviewed at the February 29, 2016 Regular City Council Meeting and approved with amendments to adopt the definitions and allow thrift stores as a conditional use in the B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. Current Language for Thrift Store use The Arden Hills Zoning Code defines the Thrift Store use as follows: Page 2 of 9 - Thrift Store. A business for which the stock of goods is primarily used and may include the following operational characteristics: o Receipt of used items directly from the public at the business location. o Processing, conditioning, cleaning, or repair of used or returned items for resale. o Storage of used items on site for processing, resale, or disposal. o Receipt of goods through purchase, consignment, or donation. As part of the drafted amendments adopted on February 29, 2016, Section 1325.046 of the City Zoning Code provides for additional conditional use permit criteria for a Thrift Store use related to the location of operations and storage, waste and recycling receptacles and drive through access, included below: 1325.046 Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria. Subd. 1 Development Standards A. All merchandise receiving, transfer, sorting, processing, and storage shall occur within a completely enclosed principal structure. B. No exterior storage or the use of exterior storage containers or semi-trailers for storage shall be allowed upon the site. C. Waste and recycling receptacles and equipment shall be completely contained within a principal or accessory structure. D. For any thrift store that accepts donations, at least one (1) accessory drive-through service lane shall be provided for stores over 5,000 square feet in size. E. Accessory drive-through service lanes leading to and accessing the indoor collection/donation area shall meet the following conditions: 1. Drive-through service lanes shall not be permitted within the front, side, or rear yards which abut a public street. 2. Drive-through lanes shall be designed in a manner that segregates the drop-off lane from drive lanes, parking spaces, and sidewalks. 3. The drive-through service lane shall be a minimum of fourteen (14) feet wide and provide up to one hundred sixty (160) linear feet of automobile stacking space within the site. 4. Automobile stacking shall not interfere with on-site drive lanes, fire lanes, parking stalls, loading areas, access to trash/recycling dumpsters, or sidewalks. 5. Drive-through service lanes shall not open directly onto a public street. 6. Directional signage shall be provided to direct customers to the collection/donation area. F. Thrift stores that have drive-through collection/donation facilities shall meet the standards within Section 1325.04 Additional Minimum Requirements for Drive-in Businesses, Drive-up Windows, Fast Food Restaurants and Automobile Service Stations. Direction for proposed amendments to thrift store use At the March 10, 2025 City Council Work Session, Councilmembers discussed how the City’s zoning code regulates the land use of thrift store. The conversation included a discussion of in which zoning districts the land use was currently allowed and the regulation of thrift store use by conditional use permit. Direction was given to staff to provide information on the current zoning language for thrift store use for discussion at a future City Council Work Session. Page 3 of 9 At the April 14, 2025 City Council Work Session, staff presented findings, explaining that retail sales and service and thrift store uses are defined separately in the Zoning Code. Retail sales and services and thrift store uses are also zoned separately as shown in the following table. From Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart Uses Zoning Districts R- 1 R- 2 R- 3 R- 4 NB B- 1 B- 2 B- 3 B- 4 CC GB I- 1 I- 2 I- FLEX CD POS INST Retail Sales & Services == == == == P A P P P C A A A A == == == Thrift Store == == == == == == == == C == == == == C == == == A Retail Sales and Service use would be allowed in all of the commercial zoning districts whether it be by permitted, conditional, or accessory use. A Thrift Store use would require a conditional use permit to operate in the B-4 – Retail Center District and I-FLEX zoning districts. A Thrift Store use would not be allowed in the other zoning districts. Councilmembers discussed the provided information and the current zoning language for thrift store use. Comments included suggestions to address types of thrift store operations that would be conducted in the business location, to allow for a thrift store use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts, and to distinguish between different intensities of thrift store operations. Direction was given to staff to draft ordinance language to modify how a thrift store use is regulated in the Zoning Code and to bring the drafted amendments to the Planning Commission for review before coming before the City Council. Overview of Ordinance Amendments Staff has prepared a draft ordinance identifying language to be amended and/or added for the City Council’s review (Attachment A). The applicable Sections to be modified are as follows: • Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions • Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-2, General Business District, B-3, Service Business Zoning District, B-4, Retail Center District, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts • Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions: 1) Expand definitions relevant to the Thrift Store use The existing definition of a thrift store use is included in the modified ordinance language with one operational characteristic removed. Receipt of used goods directly from the public at the business location is proposed for removal from the draft language at the suggestion of the City Attorney as the receipt of goods is addressed in another part of the use definition. In addition to removing the first characteristic, staff has drafted additional definition verbiage for a Class I thrift store and a Class II thrift store. The drafted definitions establish size and location parameters to direct the development and operations for the two types of thrift store use. Staff drafted this Page 4 of 9 language based on the City Council’s direction to distinguish store uses based on business operations, size, and proximity to other businesses. To prepare this language, staff reviewed neighboring community language for definitions related to Class I and Class II commercial uses and consulted with the consulting team working on the zoning code review and update. Finding few examples that matched the current development within the City, staff reviewed site plans for recent standalone and multi-tenant building developments within the City to align the drafted language with existing conditions. The drafted 7,000 square feet or 20 percent of a multi-tenant building are included in the definitions to establish a maximum business size for a Class I thrift store use that is compatible with commercial development in Arden Hills. The City Council is being asked to review and discuss the drafted definitions. Proposed Language: Thrift store. A business for which the stock of goods is primarily used and may include the following operational characteristics: • Receipt of used items directly from the public at the business location. • Processing, conditioning, cleaning, or repair of used or returned items for resale. • Storage of used items on site for processing, resale, or disposal. • Receipt of goods through purchase, consignment, or donation. Class I: Above uses in a business located within a multi-tenant building which occupies less than 7,000 square feet or less than 20 percent of the building square footage in a multi-tenant building, whichever is lower. Class II: Above uses in a business located within a standalone building or located within a multi-tenant building which occupies greater than 7,000 square feet or greater than 20 percent of a multi-tenant building. Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-2, General Business District, B-3, Service Business Zoning District, B-4, Retail Center District, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts: 2) Land Use Chart within Section 1320.05 would be amended to include Thrift Store, Class I and Thrift Store, Class II: a. Amend the Thrift Store land use category to Thrift Store, Class II. b. Add a land use category for Thrift Store, Class I as a Permitted Use under the B-2 General Business, B-3 Service Business, B-4 Retail Center, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. c. Add Thrift Store, Class II as a Conditional Use under the B-2 General Business and B-3 Service Business Zoning Districts. Staff has drafted updates to the Land Use Chart based on the City Council’s direction to allow for a lower intensity thrift store use as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. These updates also include amending the Land Use Chart to add a Class II thrift store as a Conditional Use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts, in addition to the B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts where a thrift store use is already a conditional use. Page 5 of 9 City Council is asked to review and discuss both the inclusion of a Class I thrift store use as a permitted use in the applicable zoning districts and the addition of a Class II thrift store use as a conditional use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts. The complete Zoning Map and maps of the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts are included as Attachments D and E, respectively, and the draft version of the updated Land Use Chart is included as Attachment C. Proposed Language: Uses Zoning Districts R- 1 R- 2 R- 3 R- 4 NB B- 1 B- 2 B- 3 B- 4 CC GB I- 1 I- 2 I- FLEX CD POS INST Thrift Store, Class I == == == == == == P P P == == == == P == == == Thrift Store, Class II == == == == == == C C C == == == == C == == == Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria: 3) Modify Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria a. Rename Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Criteria b. Reorganize Subdivision 1 Development Standards to establish the requirements and criteria for all thrift store uses, criteria for Thrift Store, Class I as a permitted use, and criteria for Thrift Store, Class II as a conditional use. Staff has prepared language for Section 1325.046 to rename the section to align with the land use chart update to allow a Class I thrift store as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. The drafted language also reorganizes this section to specify criteria that is required of all thrift store uses, followed by additional criteria that are specific to Class I and Class II thrift store uses. Conditions A through C for all thrift store uses are existing standards in Section 1325.046 and already are applicable to a thrift store use. These conditions relate to where thrift store operations take place on the business site. At the May 7, 2025 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed how a thrift store use might receive and transfer merchandise while located within a multi-tenant building. It was brought up that most multi-tenant buildings do not have an enclosed structure for a business to receive items, which could create challenges for the existing condition for all thrift store uses, “All merchandise receiving, transfer, sorting, processing, and storage shall occur within a completely enclosed principal structure.” A concern was raised about how a thrift store use could receive goods at the store and how large items such as furniture could be accepted by a store, while limiting traffic impacts to multi-tenant building neighbors. The Planning Commission recommended amending the existing condition to remove receiving and transfer and to create new conditions to address receiving and transfer for Class I and Class II thrift stores. Staff has drafted language based on this recommendation for the City Council to consider. Included in the drafted language reviewed by the Planning Commission at the May 7, 2025 meeting, was criterion d, “Outdoor display and sales shall not be allowed.” Staff drafted this Page 6 of 9 condition as it aligns with the existing thrift store use criteria and reflects the standards in Section 1325.02 Accessory Uses Subd. 4 Accessory Outdoor Display and Sales. This existing regulation would not allow for a thrift store use to conduct outdoor display and sales of goods on the property. Based on the existing criteria for a thrift store use in Section 1325.046, which prohibits exterior storage, and 1325.02 Subd. 4, a thrift store use is not eligible for accessory outdoor display and sales. Following discussion about the existing language in Section 1325.02 Subd. 4 Accessory Outdoor Display and Sales, the Planning Commission recommended amending the drafted ordinance language for thrift stores to strike criterion d, with the reasoning that this is already addressed elsewhere in the zoning code. The language from this section of the zoning code is included in Attachment G as a reference, but is not being considered as part of this review for amendment. The drafted criteria for Class I thrift store use and Class II thrift store use are related to standards for a drive-through. The drafted language for a Class I thrift store use criteria includes a condition that a drive-through is not allowed, based on direction from City Council to establish parameters for thrift store operations that are compatible with a lower intensity thrift store use. As referenced above, the Planning Commission recommended adding a condition to address receiving and transfer of goods specifically for a Class I thrift store use which has been included in the proposed language as criterion ii. The standards applicable to a Class II thrift store and associated drive-throughs are largely the same as currently apply to all thrift stores today. The standards also reference that a thrift store use with a drive-through remains subject to the standards within Section 1325.04 Additional Minimum Requirements for Drive-in Businesses, Drive-up Windows, Fast Food Restaurants and Automobile Service Stations (Attachment F). The drafted language for a Class II thrift store use utilizes existing criteria for a thrift store use and includes a proposed amendment to the current standard D, which is related to accessory drive- through lanes. The drafted language includes striking “over 5,000 square feet in size,” thus eliminating the square footage that would necessitate a drive-through service lane. The proposed amendment makes it explicit that under the Class II thrift store use criteria, at least one (1) accessory drive-through service lane shall be provided. At the May 7, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission discussed the Class II thrift store use condition in Section C, a., ii., which reads “For any thrift store that accepts donations, at least one (1) accessory drive-through service lane shall be provided.” The Planning Commission discussed this change and the first clause in the condition, noting that “for any thrift store that accepts donations” could create confusion as to whether or not a Class I thrift store use could accept donations or if this was specific to a Class II thrift store. To add more clarity to the condition, the Planning Commission recommended amending the language to remove the clause “for any thrift store that accepts donations.” The City Council should review and discuss the drafted criteria. The City Council may consider if additional criteria language or amendments should be included. Proposed Language: 1325.046 Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria.

(added 3/28/16) Page 1 of 9 PC Agenda Item – 3B MEMORANDUM DATE: May 7, 2025 TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners FROM: Elena Fransen, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #25-003 – Public Hearing Required Applicant: City of Arden Hills Request: Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Thrift Store Use Requested Action The City of Arden Hills is proposing ordinance language in the Zoning Code to modify definitions for thrift store use, determine zoning districts for thrift store use, and establish performance standards for thrift store use. The proposed amendments to City Zoning Code Chapter 13 are within the following Sections: • Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions • Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-2, General Business District, B-3, Service Business Zoning District, B-4, Retail Center District, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts • Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria Background History of thrift store land use definition At the October 19, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff presented possible revisions to the Zoning Code to address retail and resale businesses as directed by the City Council. Revisions were drafted after staff completed research on the operational characteristics of thrift stores, such as receiving materials and processing items for resale. At the December 21, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff shared two separate definitions to clarify the difference between “Retail Sales and Services” and “Thrift Store” establishments. Staff also shared drafted Conditional Use Permit criteria for Thrift Stores. Page 2 of 9 The drafted amendments were reviewed at the February 29, 2016 Regular City Council Meeting and approved with amendments to adopt the definitions and allow thrift stores as a conditional use in the B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. Current Language for Thrift Store use The Arden Hills Zoning Code defines the Thrift Store use as follows: - Thrift Store. A business for which the stock of goods is primarily used and may include the following operational characteristics: o Receipt of used items directly from the public at the business location. o Processing, conditioning, cleaning, or repair of used or returned items for resale. o Storage of used items on site for processing, resale, or disposal. o Receipt of goods through purchase, consignment, or donation. As part of the drafted amendments adopted on February 29, 2016, Section 1325.046 of the City Zoning Code provides for additional conditional use permit criteria for a Thrift Store use related to the location of operations and storage, waste and recycling receptacles and drive through access, included below: 1325.046 Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria. Subd. 1 Development Standards A. All merchandise receiving, transfer, sorting, processing, and storage shall occur within a completely enclosed principal structure. B. No exterior storage or the use of exterior storage containers or semi-trailers for storage shall be allowed upon the site. C. Waste and recycling receptacles and equipment shall be completely contained within a principal or accessory structure. D. For any thrift store that accepts donations, at least one (1) accessory drive-through service lane shall be provided for stores over 5,000 square feet in size. E. Accessory drive-through service lanes leading to and accessing the indoor collection/donation area shall meet the following conditions: 1. Drive-through service lanes shall not be permitted within the front, side, or rear yards which abut a public street. 2. Drive-through lanes shall be designed in a manner that segregates the drop-off lane from drive lanes, parking spaces, and sidewalks. 3. The drive-through service lane shall be a minimum of fourteen (14) feet wide and provide up to one hundred sixty (160) linear feet of automobile stacking space within the site. 4. Automobile stacking shall not interfere with on-site drive lanes, fire lanes, parking stalls, loading areas, access to trash/recycling dumpsters, or sidewalks. 5. Drive-through service lanes shall not open directly onto a public street. 6. Directional signage shall be provided to direct customers to the collection/donation area. F. Thrift stores that have drive-through collection/donation facilities shall meet the standards within Section 1325.04 Additional Minimum Requirements for Drive-in Businesses, Drive-up Windows, Fast Food Restaurants and Automobile Service Stations. Page 3 of 9 Direction for proposed amendments to thrift store use At the March 10, 2025 City Council Work Session, Councilmembers discussed how the City’s zoning code regulates the land use of thrift store. The conversation included a discussion of in which zoning districts the land use was currently allowed and the regulation of thrift store use by conditional use permit. Direction was given to staff to provide information on the current zoning language for thrift store use for discussion at a future City Council Work Session. At the April 14, 2025 City Council Work Session, staff presented findings, explaining that retail sales and service and thrift store uses are defined separately in the Zoning Code. Retail sales and services and thrift store uses are also zoned separately as shown in the following table. From Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart Uses Zoning Districts R- 1 R- 2 R- 3 R- 4 NB B- 1 B- 2 B- 3 B- 4 CC GB I- 1 I- 2 I- FLEX CD POS INST Retail Sales & Services == == == == P A P P P C A A A A == == == Thrift Store == == == == == == == == C == == == == C == == == A Retail Sales and Service use would be allowed in all of the commercial zoning districts whether it be by permitted, conditional, or accessory use. A Thrift Store use would require a conditional use permit to operate in the B-4 – Retail Center District and I-FLEX zoning districts. A Thrift Store use would not be allowed in the other zoning districts. Councilmembers discussed the provided information and the current zoning language for thrift store use. Comments included suggestions to address types of thrift store operations that would be conducted in the business location, to allow for a thrift store use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts, and to distinguish between different intensities of thrift store operations. Direction was given to staff to draft ordinance language to modify how a thrift store use is regulated in the Zoning Code and to bring the drafted amendments to the Planning Commission for review. Overview of Ordinance Amendments Staff has prepared a draft ordinance identifying language to be added for the Planning Commission’s review (Attachment A). The applicable Sections to be modified are as follows: • Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions • Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-2, General Business District, B-3, Service Business Zoning District, B-4, Retail Center District, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts • Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria Page 4 of 9 Section 1305.04, Zoning Code Definitions: 1) Expand definitions relevant to the Thrift Store use The existing definition of a thrift store use is included in the modified ordinance language with one operational characteristic removed. Receipt of used goods directly from the public at the business location is proposed for removal from the draft language as the receipt of goods is addressed in another part of the use definition. In addition to removing the first characteristic, staff has drafted additional definition verbiage for a Class I thrift store and a Class II thrift store. The drafted definitions establish size and location parameters to direct the development and operations for the two types of thrift store use. Staff drafted this language based on the City Council’s direction to distinguish store uses based on business operations, size, and proximity to other businesses. To prepare this language, staff reviewed neighboring community language for definitions related to Class I and Class II commercial uses and consulted with the consulting team working on the zoning code review and update. Finding few examples that matched the current development within the City, staff reviewed site plans for recent standalone and multi-tenant building developments within the City to align the drafted language with existing conditions. The drafted 7,000 square feet or 20 percent of a multi-tenant building are included in the definitions to establish a maximum business size for a Class I thrift store use that is compatible with commercial development in Arden Hills. The Planning Commission is being asked to review and discuss the drafted definitions. Proposed Language: Thrift store. A business for which the stock of goods is primarily used and may include the following operational characteristics: • Receipt of used items directly from the public at the business location. • Processing, conditioning, cleaning, or repair of used or returned items for resale. • Storage of used items on site for processing, resale, or disposal. • Receipt of goods through purchase, consignment, or donation. Class I: Above uses in a business located within a multi-tenant building which occupies less than 7,000 square feet or less than 20 percent of the building square footage in a multi-tenant building, whichever is lower. Class II: Above uses in a business located within a standalone building or located within a multi-tenant building which occupies greater than 7,000 square feet or greater than 20 percent of a multi-tenant building. Section 1320.05, Land Use Chart in the B-2, General Business District, B-3, Service Business Zoning District, B-4, Retail Center District, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts: 2) Land Use Chart within Section 1320.05 would be amended to include Thrift Store, Class I and Thrift Store, Class II: Page 5 of 9 a. Amend the Thrift Store land use category to Thrift Store, Class II. b. Add a land use category for Thrift Store, Class I as a Permitted Use under the B-2 General Business, B-3 Service Business, B-4 Retail Center, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. c. Add Thrift Store, Class II as a Conditional Use under the B-2 General Business and B-3 Service Business Zoning Districts. Staff has drafted updates to the Land Use Chart based on the City Council’s direction to allow for a lower intensity thrift store use as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. These updates also include amending the Land Use Chart to add a Class II thrift store as a Conditional Use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts, in addition to the B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts where a thrift store use is already a conditional use. The Planning Commission is asked to review and discuss both the inclusion of a Class I thrift store use as a permitted use in the applicable zoning districts and the addition of a Class II thrift store use as a conditional use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts. The complete Zoning Map and maps of the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I- FLEX Zoning Districts are included as Attachments C and D, respectively, and the draft version of the updated Land Use Chart is included as Attachment B. Proposed Language: Uses Zoning Districts R- 1 R- 2 R- 3 R- 4 NB B- 1 B- 2 B- 3 B- 4 CC GB I- 1 I- 2 I- FLEX CD POS INST Thrift Store, Class I == == == == == == P P P == == == == P == == == Thrift Store, Class II == == == == == == C C C == == == == C == == == Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria: 3) Modify Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria a. Rename Section 1325.046, Thrift Store Additional Criteria b. Reorganize Subdivision 1 Development Standards to establish the requirements and criteria for all thrift store uses, criteria for Thrift Store, Class I as a permitted use, and criteria for Thrift Store, Class II as a conditional use. Staff has prepared language for Section 1325.046 to rename the section to align with the land use chart update to allow a Class I thrift store as a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. The drafted language also reorganizes this section to specify criteria that is required of all thrift store uses, followed by additional new criteria that are specific to Class I and Class II thrift store uses. Conditions A through C for all thrift store uses are existing standards in Section 1325.046 and already are applicable to a thrift store use. Criterion D has been added to the draft language as it aligns with the existing thrift store use criteria and reflects the standards in Section 1325.02 Page 6 of 9 Accessory Uses Subd. 4 Accessory Outdoor Display and Sales. This regulation would not allow for a thrift store use to conduct outdoor display and sales of goods on the property. Based on the existing criteria for a thrift store use, which prohibits exterior storage, and 1325.02 Subd. 4, a thrift store use is not eligible for accessory outdoor display and sales. Criterion D is included to affirm existing ordinance language that would be applicable to a thrift store use. The drafted criteria for Class I thrift store use and Class II thrift store use are related to standards for a drive-through. The drafted language for a Class I thrift store use criteria includes a condition that a drive-through is not allowed, based on direction from City Council to establish parameters for thrift store operations that are compatible with a lower intensity thrift store use. The drafted language for a Class II thrift store use utilizes existing criteria for a thrift store use and includes a proposed amendment to the current standard D, which is related to accessory drive- through lanes. The proposed amendment makes it explicit that under the Class II thrift store use criteria, at least one (1) accessory drive-through service lane shall be provided. The standards applicable to a Class II thrift store and associated drive-throughs are largely the same as currently apply to all thrift stores today. The standards also reference that a thrift store use with a drive- through remains subject to the standards within Section 1325.04 Additional Minimum Requirements for Drive-in Businesses, Drive-up Windows, Fast Food Restaurants and Automobile Service Stations (Attachment E). The Planning Commission should review and discuss the drafted criteria. The Planning Commission may consider if additional criteria language or amendments should be included as part of the Commission’s recommendation to the City Council. Proposed Language: Subd. 1 Thrift Stores. Thrift stores are allowed as either principal uses or conditional uses depending on the characteristics of the operation. A.

The Planning Commission is asked to review the drafted ordinance amendment language and discuss the proposed. The Planning Commission’s discussion may include reviewing the definitions for a Class I and Class II thrift store use, the criteria established for a Class I and Class II thrift store use’s operations and the compatibility of a Class II thrift store use in the B-2 and B- 3 Zoning Districts. An ordinance amendment to the Zoning Code does require a public hearing before the Planning Commission.

Commissioner Bjorklund was of the opinion the Findings of Fact and normal permitting process would address all concerns and the additional conditions were unnecessarily burdensome. Chair Collins asked staff to respond to this statement. Senior Planner Fransen explained the conditions were drafted by staff to offer clarifying information to the Applicant. She indicated the Planning Commission may include the conditions. The Applicant would continue with their process and working with staff through the building permit application. Chair Collins questioned if it would be fair to say the applicant would be addressing Conditions 1 through 11 automatically by proceeding through this process and staff was offering granular information. Senior Planner Fransen stated these conditions offer specificity to portions of City Code and offer more granular information for the applicant. She reported with variances, additional conditions could be added. Commissioner Bjorklund inquired the applicant was a pillar of the community and would be remaining in the City. He was of the opinion the proposed conditions were overburdensome. Commissioner Jacobson stated she disagreed with Commissioner Bjorklund, and she wanted to see the conditions remain in the variance approval. She believed it was important for the City to make sure the applicant was aware of the clear path. Commissioner Erler indicated he was sympathetic to Commissioner Bjorklund’s position and he did not want to make approvals overburdensome. However, with this case, he supported keeping the conditions in place. Commissioner Birken agreed stating clarity for the applicant was a good thing. Chair Collins supported the conditions remaining in place. Commissioner Jacobson moved and Commissioner Birken seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 25-002 for a Variance to construct a new single- family swelling with a 31.9 foot side yard setback on a corner lot at 3609 Pascal Avenue North on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the May 7, 2025, report to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Bjorklund stated he was trying to make government less burdensome and he was of the opinion the conditions were not necessary. The motion carried 5-0-1 (Commissioner Burlingame abstained). B. Planning Case 25-003 – Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13, Thrift Store Use – Public Hearing Required ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 6 Senior Planner Fransen stated at the October 19, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff presented possible revisions to the Zoning Code to address retail and resale businesses as directed by the City Council. Revisions were drafted after staff completed research on the operational characteristics of thrift stores, such as receiving materials and processing items for resale. At the December 21, 2015 City Council Work Session, staff shared two separate definitions to clarify the difference between “Retail Sales and Services” and “Thrift Store” establishments. Staff also shared drafted Conditional Use Permit criteria for Thrift Stores. Senior Planner Fransen explained the drafted amendments were reviewed at the February 29, 2016 Regular City Council Meeting and approved with amendments to adopt the definitions and allow thrift stores as a conditional use in the B-4 and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. As part of the drafted amendments adopted on February 29, 2016, Section 1325.046 of the City Zoning Code provides for additional conditional use permit criteria for a Thrift Store use related to the location of operations and storage, waste and recycling receptacles and drive through access. Senior Planner Fransen elaborated that at the March 10, 2025 City Council Work Session, Councilmembers discussed how the City’s zoning code regulates the land use of thrift store. The conversation included a discussion of in which zoning districts the land use was currently allowed and the regulation of thrift store use by conditional use permit. Direction was given to staff to provide information on the current zoning language for thrift store use for discussion at a future City Council Work Session. At the April 14, 2025 City Council Work Session, staff presented findings, explaining that retail sales and service and thrift store uses are defined separately in the Zoning Code. Retail sales and services and thrift store uses are also zoned separately. Senior Planner Fransen summarized that Councilmembers discussed the provided information and the current zoning language for thrift store use. Comments included suggestions to address types of thrift store operations that would be conducted in the business location, to allow for a thrift store use in the B-2 and B-3 Zoning Districts, and to distinguish between different intensities of thrift store operations. Direction was given to staff to draft ordinance language to modify how a thrift store use is regulated in the Zoning Code and to bring the drafted amendments to the Planning Commission for review. Senior Planner Fransen provided an overview of the Ordinance Amendments and offered the following Findings of Fact for review: General Findings: 1. The City of Arden Hills is proposing to modify definitions for thrift store use, modify zoning districts for thrift store use, and modify performance standards for thrift store use in the Zoning Code. 2. The proposed ordinance will include amendments to the language of Chapter 13 – Zoning Code, Sections 1305.04 - Definitions, 1320.05 – Land Use Chart, and 1325.046 – Thrift Store Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria of the City Code. 3. The proposed ordinance amendments will allow Thrift Store, Class I as a Permitted Use under the B-2 General Business, B-3 Service Business, B-4 Retail Center, and I-FLEX Zoning Districts. 4. The proposed ordinance amendments will allow Thrift Store, Class II as a Conditional Use under the B-2 General Business, B-3 Service Business, B-4 Retail Center and I- FLEX Zoning Districts. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 7 5. The proposed ordinance amendments will establish criteria for all thrift stores to meet and criteria specific to Thrift Store, Class I and Thrift Store, Class II uses. 6. Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations require a public hearing prior to action by the City Council. Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission for Planning Case 25-003 for a Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13 of the Arden Hills City Code to modify definitions for thrift store use, modify zoning districts for thrift store use, and modify performance standards for thrift store use: 1. Recommend Approval As Written 2. Recommend Approval With Amendments 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Collins opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Birken stated she believed the proposed changes made sense. She indicated Class II would allow for a consignment shop or mall retail environment and Class IIII would allow for a larger thrift operation with a drive-thru. Commissioner Burlingame suggested clarity be offered on whether public drop offs and items can be received at Class I stores. He asked if public donations should be allowed at Class I shops. Senior Planner Fransen stated this type of clarity was something the Planning Commission could consider and the language could be amended. She commented Class I and Class II thrift stores are allowed to accept donations. Commissioner Burlingame explained the current language prohibits outdoor displays and asked if the language could be amended so as to not restrain the thrift uses. He suggested displays be allowed within six feet of the store front and remain ADA compliant. Senior Planner Fransen commented the drafted language prohibits outdoor displays because they could be viewed as outdoor storage. She indicated Section 1325.02 of the Zoning Code addresses accessory outdoor displays and sales. She reported outdoor displays and sales are only allowed for retail sales and services or service station uses. She stated outdoor displays and sales require an administrative permit from the Community Development Department. Commissioner Burlingame stated his last concern was with the drive-thru requirements for Class II thrift stores and noted he had language for a proposed condition to address his concerns. Commissioner Erler requested further information regarding the allowed square footage. Senior Planner Fransen stated after reviewing the multi-tenant properties in Arden Hills, staff recommended 7,000 square feet or less be allowed for the Class I thrift store use. Commissioner Erler commented on the receiving and sorting requirements and noted the multi- tenant buildings in the community do not typically have enough space for an enclosed separate sorting room. He suggested this be a requirement for a Class II facility, but that this requirement not be in place for a Class I shop. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 8 Commissioner Bjorklund recommended the reference on Page 2 to 5,000 square feet be changed to 7,000 square feet. Senior Planner Fransen indicated this language has been amended and no longer includes a reference to 5,000 square feet. Commissioner Bjorklund commented on the thrift shops that were located in surrounding communities and he appreciated how staff had created Class I and Class II requirements. He believed staff had proposed great requirements for thrift uses in the community. Commissioner Jacobson stated she supported the thrift use being allowed in the B-2 and B-3 zoning districts. She indicated she appreciated the research staff had done with respect to the Class I and Class II sizing. She indicated she did not see the receiving language as being burdensome for this use. Chair Collins indicated in 2015 and 2016 the retail language was split to address thrift uses and ten years later the City was taking another pass at it. He questioned how common it was to have separate retail sales and thrift store uses. Senior Planner Fransen explained in preparation for the April 14, 2025 City Council Work Session, staff conducted a survey from neighboring communities and staff learned that six of eleven neighboring communities had language in place for resale businesses through their zoning code. Chair Collins discussed the differences between a Class I and Class II thrift use. He indicated he was confused by the language and asked if a Class II thrift shop had to have a drive-thru or could items be dropped off in some other way. Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the conditions stipulated for all thrift stores and described when a drive-thru would be needed. City Administrator Jagoe stated the language could be amended to remove the first part of the language, noting Class II was required to have at least one drive-thru provided. She indicated the receiving and transfer of goods for Class I thrift stores may receive donations from people that are carried into the store, while Class II shops will have an enclosed structure for the transfer and receipt of goods. She commented further on staff’s thought process and noted this language could be amended to allow for further clarity. Chair Collins questioned why the language in bullet point 3, “Receipt of used items directly from the public at the business location,” was removed. Senior Planner Fransen explained this language was struck out by the City Attorney in order to improve clarity. Further discussion ensued regarding the differences between the Class I and Class II thrift use. Chair Collins asked if a Class I store could sell furniture. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 9 Senior Planner Fransen indicated the store would have to evaluate if they could accommodate furniture items in their space and if the furniture could fit through the front door. She was of the opinion the proposed language would allow for the sale of furniture and would be allowed within a Class II thrift shop as well. City Administrator Jagoe commented on how transfers may also occur by the shop owner going off site to consider the sale of larger furniture items before accepting the items at the shop. The owner could then transport the larger item back to the store for sale. Commissioner Erler stated the current language would not allow a Class I thrift shop to load items into the store from the back entrance. He was of the opinion this should be allowed. City Administrator Jagoe indicated the proposed language would assist with addressing the offload and transfer of goods. Chair Collins asked if the language for the drive-thru was overly restrictive. Senior Planner Fransen commented a drive-thru was a traffic management tool and the interpretation of the existing language was that the drive-thru would be the accepted pathway for accepting donations. Chair Collins opened the public hearing at 8:18 p.m. Chair Collins invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. Gretchen King, 1459 Glenhill Road, asked when the public hearing was being held on this item. Chair Collins stated the Public Hearing was being held at this meeting. Ms. King was of the opinion the public notification for the Public Hearing was not clear. She explained she has been a thrifter her whole life and she supported the City having thrift uses. She was of the opinion the City was currently being too restrictive and she was offended by the fact the City believed they were too good for the thrifting use. She stated in the day and age of reduce, reuse and recycle, thrift shops should be allowed and encouraged. She explained she was in favor of thrift stores being allowed in Arden Hills. There being no additional comment Chair Collins closed the public hearing at 8:23 p.m. City Administrator Jagoe discussed the City’s notification process noting the public hearing notice was printed in the St. Paul Pioneer Press and noted the ordinance item was placed on the City’s website. Chair Collins questioned how the Commission should proceed. City Administrator Jagoe suggested the Commission could recommend a motion for approval with amendments noting Attachment A, Section C.A.1 would be amended to remove the language regarding donations and directing staff to work with the City Attorney to look at language for Section A.1.C or thrift store Class I to find a way to clarify the receipt/intake of goods. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 10 Commissioner Burlingame commented he had concerns regarding the ambiguity around three different items, noting he had three language amendments. He stated the first amendment would read as follows: Class I thrift stores may accept public donations provided all drop off activities occur within the interior of the building and during posted business hours only. Chair Collins explained he was not convinced the ordinance amendment required this language noting the definition states receipt of goods was to occur through purchase, consignment or donation. Commissioner Birken agreed noting donations were inherently allowed for both Class I and Class II thrift shops. Commissioner Burlingame questioned if the ordinance language should be amended to not require drive-thrus for Class II thrift shops. He stated this language could be amended to read: A drive-thru donation lane shall be required for Class II thrift stores for accepting donations, unless the City Council waives this requirement as part of the conditional use permit and based upon site specific donations. Commissioner Birken reported this was always an option for the City Council and she did not believe this language was necessary. Commissioner Burlingame commented he would like to see thrift shops allowed to have limited outdoor displays and suggested the language be amended to read: Thrift stores may include limited outdoor displays of merchandise provided display is located within six feet of the storefront and does not block pedestrian or ADA accessible routes and complies with seasonal display approved by City staff. Commissioner Birken commented the City does not allow outdoor display and sales which meant City Code would have to be amended. Commissioner Burlingame stated he had not realized this when he drafted his proposed language. Senior Planner Fransen indicated if there is direction from the Planning Commission, staff could work to draft an amendment to the section of City Code to address outdoor displays, then the use could apply to thrift stores. Chair Collins asked if the Commission supported amending City Code language to allow for outdoor displays at thrift stores. Commissioner Birken stated she believed it was unfair that all other retail uses could have outdoor sales and display, but this would not be allowed for thrift uses. City Administrator Jagoe commented certain criteria had to be looked at in order to allow an outdoor display at a retail sales or service station. She indicated one of these criteria is that the type of merchandise displayed shall be limited to items that require an outdoor location, such as plants, fuel, salt or landscaping materials. Chair Collins supported Item D being removed because thrift stores grew out of retail. He was of the opinion this item was too restrictive. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 11 Commissioner Birken stated she supported this recommendation. Commissioner Bjorklund expressed concern with this change given how thrift stores were selling used goods and could then display whatever items they deem fit. He explained he did not want to see weathered items displayed outside of thrift shops. Commissioner Birken reported even if Item D were removed, outdoor displays would still not be allowed, unless another portion of City Code were amended. Commissioner Bjorklund stated this was good to know. Commissioner Erler asked staff to provide further clarity on this matter. Senior Planner Fransen clarified if Item D, “Outdoor display and sales shall not be allowed,” were removed, outdoor displays and sales for a thrift store would not be permitted under the existing ordinance. Chair Collins questioned where Commissioner Burlingame was with his proposed amendments. Commissioner Burlingame stated it appeared his three amendments were not necessary at this time. Chair Collins reviewed the proposed revisions, noting on Attachment A – under Thrift Store additional criteria conditional use permit shall be stricken. He stated on Page 2, Letter B - Thrift Store Class I, a drive-thru shall not be allowed. He noted that the Planning Commission suggests removing the condition “Outdoor display and sales shall not be allowed” as this is already a condition established in the City Code. He explained he would like to defer to staff and the City Attorney for verbiage to address how goods are received. He commented on Letter C – Item I the Planning Commission would like the words “for any thrift store that accepts donations,” to be removed. Commissioner Birken commented on how this would impact a resale furniture store, noting they may require a drive-thru for larger items. Chair Collins thanked Commissioner Birken for her comments and stated the Planning Commission has voiced their concerns regarding drive-thrus and asked that staff work with the City Attorney to address the language in Item I surrounding donations and drive-thrus. Commissioner Birken moved and Commissioner Bjorklund seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 25-003 for a Zoning Code Amendment to Chapter 13 of the Arden Hills City Code to modify definitions for thrift store use, modify zoning districts for thrift store use, and modify performance standards for thrift store use, based on the findings of fact and as presented in the May 7, 2025 Report to the Planning Commission with staff looking into the three items as discussed. The motion carried unanimously (6-0).

Background 1. Existing Site Conditions 3609 Pascal Avenue, the Subject Property, is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. It is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Subject Property is the site of a single-family dwelling owned by the Applicant. Surrounding parcels to the north, east, and south are also zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses and the parcel to the west is zoned NB, Neighborhood Business District and designated for Low Density Residential Use in the Future Land Use Plan. The Subject Property is currently developed with a single-family residential dwelling (1,735 SF) and detached garage (528 SF). The property was originally developed in 1900 and the detached garage was constructed later. The detached garage was constructed in 1976 and the City Council granted a retroactive variance for a 4.5 foot side yard setback in 1977. Per the Certificate of Survey Page 2 of 10 submitted with the variance request, the actual side yard setback for the detached garage is 9.6 feet as measured from the southmost corner to the lot line along County Road E. According to Zoning Code definitions, the front lot line on a corner lot is the shortest street lot line and the side lot line on a corner lot is the longest street lot line. A corner lot at the intersection of Pascal Avenue North and County Road E, the Subject Property’s front lot line is along Pascal Avenue North and its side lot line is along County Road E. The Subject Property is oriented with the house and detached garage facing County Road E and with driveway access off of County Road E. Existing Building Site 2. Site Data 2040 Future Land Use Plan: LDR – Low Density Residential Existing Land Use: Single-Family Dwelling Zoning: R-1 Single Family Residential District Lot Size: 0.46 acres/19,945 square feet 3. Proposed Use Logan McCarthy (“The Applicant”) is proposing to demolish the existing structures and rebuild a 2,704 square foot single-family dwelling with an attached garage on the Subject Property. The proposed dwelling would be oriented with the front of the house and garage facing Pascal Avenue and with driveway access off of Pascal Avenue. The existing curb cut on County Road E would be removed. The Applicant is requesting a variance to decrease the required side yard setback for corner lots for the Subject Property from 40 feet to 31.9 feet as measured from the south side of the structure to County Road E. Section 1320.06 of the Arden Hills City Code requires a side yard setback of 40 feet on corner lots. County Road E Page 3 of 10 The Applicant states that the variance is requested to accommodate the home’s footprint, maintain a reasonable and respectful distance from the neighbors to the north, and fit the home safely on the lot. The Applicant references the Subject Property’s unusual orientation and access as reasons for the variance request, stating that the current driveway location has presented repeated safety hazards and significant winter maintenance burdens. In their narrative, the Applicant writes that the relocation and reorientation of the building footprint and driveway to the quieter side road aligns with the neighborhood’s layout and enhances overall safety and visual consistency for the Subject Property and County Road E. The new home location would require a variance to allow a front yard setback of 31.9 feet versus 40 feet as required by city code. The proposed project complies with all other applicable city code requirements for the R-1 Zoning District (i.e. structure coverage, FAR, impervious surface, etc.) Proposed Redevelopment Building Site 4. Approvals The City Council is being asked to determine whether a variance request for flexibility on the side yard setback for corner lots should be approved. The submitted survey shows the location of the proposed new dwelling. The evaluation of the proposal should be based on the District Provisions in Section 1320, the General Regulations in Section 1325, and the Requirements for a Variance in Section 1355.04, Subd. 4. Plan Evaluation Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 1. District Provisions (R-1, Single Family Residential Zoning District) – Section 1320.06 Lot Size and Dimensions – Meets Requirement Page 4 of 10 The Subject Property has a lot area of 19,945 square feet. Section 1320 – District Provisions of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet per single-family dwelling unit. Structure Setbacks – Variance Requested In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, respectively. The minimum side yard setback in the R-1 District is 10 feet and 25 feet combined. The proposed new dwelling and attached garage would be setback 40 feet and 104.5 feet from the front and rear property lines, respectively. The proposed interior side yard setback would be 16 feet and the total proposed side yard setbacks would be 47.9 feet. Additionally, the minimum side yard setback on a corner lot in all residential zoning districts is 40 feet. The current principal structure and detached garage are located 9.9 and 9.6 feet from the side yard property line, respectively, as measured from County Road E. The proposed new dwelling and attached garage would be setback 31.9 feet from the side yard property line as measured from County Road E. The table below provides the minimum district requirements for the R-1 District and with a preliminary analysis of setbacks for the proposed development: R-1 District Requirements Existing Proposed Review of Proposed Minimum Front Yard Setback 40 feet 45.7 feet 40 feet Meets Requirements Minimum Rear Yard Setback 30 feet ~72 feet 104.5 feet Meets Requirements Minimum Side Yard Setback 10 feet (min)/25 feet (total) 9.6 and ~46 feet 55.6 total 16 and 31.9 feet 47.9 feet total Meets Requirements Minimum Side Yard Setback Corner Lot 40 feet 9.6 feet 31.9 feet Variance Requested Landscaped Area, Structure Coverage, Floor Area Ratio, and Building Height – Meets Requirements The proposal complies with all other applicable city codes for the R-1 Zoning District. In the R-1 District, the minimum landscaped area required without a variance is 65% of the property or 12,964.25 square feet of the Subject Property. The Applicant is proposing a landscaped area of 81.2% or 16,193 square feet, which complies with the minimum requirement. The R-1 District allows for a maximum structure coverage of 25% or 4,986.25 square feet. The Applicant is proposing a structure coverage of 13.5% or 2,704 square feet, which complies with the maximum requirement. In the R-1 District, the maximum allowed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.3, or 5,983.5 square feet. The Applicant is proposing a FAR of 0.171 or 3,408 square feet, which complies with the maximum requirement. The maximum building height allowed in the R-1 District is 35 feet, measured as the average height between the eaves and the highest ridge of gable, hip, or gambrel roof. The proposed dwelling would have a maximum height of 14 feet and 4 inches, which complies with the maximum requirement. 2. General Regulations (Tree and Landscaping Preservation) – Section 1325.055 Page 5 of 10 Tree Mitigation Plan – Meets Requirements Per Section 1325.055, a tree preservation plan is required as part of an application for new building construction in any zoning district. The Applicant has provided a tree preservation plan in accordance with Appendix A of the Zoning Code. The table below illustrates staff’s analysis of the provided information according to the minimum requirements: Existing Significant Tree Caliper Inches =A A 358 inches 10 percent permitted for removal without mitigation A*.1=B B 35.8 inches Significant tree caliper inches proposed for removal =C C 128 inches Caliper inches requiring mitigation C-B=D D 92.2 inches Number of caliper inches of replacement trees required at 1:2 rate D/2=E E 46.1 inches The Applicant provided with their tree preservation plan an account of both significant and non- significant trees on the Subject Property. Their proposal includes removing 128 caliper inches of significant trees due to the relocation of the building footprint and driveway access to a currently landscaped portion of the Subject Property. The Applicant acknowledges that approximately 46 caliper inches of replacement trees would be required for replanting in accordance with city code. As part of their variance request, the Applicant indicates that they agree to meet the requirements of Section 1325.055 and are open to an approach that includes one or a combination of the following: counting preserved trees towards the required landscaping plan, replanting the required replacement trees on-site, or contributing a landscaping fee in lieu of planting. The proposed plans would meet requirements. 3. General Regulations (Requirements for Parking, Loading, and Circulation) – Section 1325.06 Parking and Driveway Requirements – Meets Requirements Section 1325.06 is applicable to the review of the Applicant’s proposal as the request includes removing the existing curb cut from County Road E and creating a new curb cut for a driveway with access to Pascal Avenue. County Road E is a county road and defined as a collector road while Pascal Avenue is a city road and defined as a local road. Per the Zoning Code, single family dwellings are required to provide two (2) off-street parking spaces and all off-street parking spaces shall have access driveways and access directly to public streets. Any residential lot, which has frontage on both a local street and a collector street shall gain access only from the local street. The Applicant’s proposal would remove a collector street curb cut and access driveway and relocate the Subject Property’s access driveway to the local street, bringing the Subject Property into compliance with the code requirements for a residential lot drive access. 4. Variance Review Page 6 of 10 The role of the City Council is to determine and consider how the facts presented to them compare with the city’s articulated standards. The City Council should base their decision on the facts presented and then apply those facts to the legal standards contained in city ordinances and relevant state law. Neighborhood opinion alone is not a valid basis for granting or denying a variance request. While the City Council may feel their decision should reflect the overall will of the residents, the task in considering a variance request is limited to evaluating how the variance application meets the statutory practical difficulties factors. Residents can often provide important facts that may help in addressing these factors, however, unsubstantiated opinions and reactions to a request do not form a legitimate basis for a variance decision. The City Council may impose conditions when granting variances as long as the conditions are directly related and bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. For instance, if a variance is granted to exceed the front setback limit, any conditions attached should presumably relate to mitigating the effect of the encroachment. Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 The Applicant is requesting a side yard setback for corner lots variance to demolish and reconstruct a single-family dwelling on the property located at 3609 Pascal Avenue North. The City Council will need to make a determination utilizing the following variance findings and criteria on whether there are practical difficulties with complying with the zoning regulations. If the applicants do not meet all the factors of the statutory test, then a variance should not be granted. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 1. Purpose and Intent. The variance request shall comply with the purpose and intent of the provisions of the City’s Zoning Regulations and with the policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing single-family dwelling unit and detached garage and rebuild a 2,704 square foot single-family dwelling with an attached garage on the Subject Property. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and it is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The proposed use of the Subject Property and the variance request comply with the purpose and intent of the provisions of the City’s Zoning Regulations and the policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. Practical Difficulties. The Applicant for a variance shall establish that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions of the Arden Hills Zoning Regulations. The term “Practical Difficulties” as used in the granting of a variance means: a. Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. According to the Applicant, the property cannot be reasonably used to construct a standard single-family home consistent with others in the area without the requested variance for the side yard setback for corner lots. The Applicant states that the current building envelope and the existing driveway configuration prevent reasonable and effective residential use under the Zoning Ordinance. Page 7 of 10 b. Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. According to the Applicant’s written narrative, the corner lot configuration, the property’s proximity to County Road E, and the required side yard setback for a corner lot are unique challenges not created by the landowner. The current location of the driveway presents safety hazards and significant winter maintenance burdens unique to the property as a result of the Subject Property’s orientation and access. c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The Applicant states that the intent of the proposed variance would allow for a reasonable building footprint while maintaining appropriate distances from all surrounding structures and streets. It is stated that the proposed relocation of the driveway aligns with the neighborhood’s typical layout, enhances overall safety and visual consistency and enhances the character of the block. 3. Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical difficulty. The Applicant states that the variance request is based on a broader set of livability, safety, and functional design issues rather than economic considerations. 4. Access to Sunlight. Inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems shall be considered a practical difficulty. A solar energy system is not proposed.

Ramsey County permits will be required for the driveway work on County Road E. The drafted conditions of approval include requiring the Applicant to attain the necessary Ramsey County permits. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their May 7, 2025 meeting and have offered the following findings of fact for your consideration: Page 8 of 10 General Findings: 1. City Staff received a land use application for a variance request to the required R-1 Zoning District side yard setback for corner lots at the Subject Property 3609 Pascal Avenue North. 2. The Subject Property received a variance in 1977 for a 4.5 foot side yard setback for an existing detached garage. 3. The detached garage on the Subject Property is currently setback 9.6 feet from the side property line along County Road E. 4. The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property closer to conformance with the R-1 district standards and reduces the side yard setback for corner lots encroachment at 31.9 feet. 5. The proposed single-family dwelling would not require a primary front yard or rear yard setback variance. 6. The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. 7. The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property into conformance with the parking and driveway access standards for a residential lot. Variance Findings: 8. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 9. The variance would be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan because it meets the City’s housing goal of encouraging redevelopment that is complementary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 10. A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 11. A single-family dwelling is a reasonable use of the property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the requested variance. 12. The proposed single-family dwelling would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the configuration of development on the Subject Property would be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. 13. The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone. Options and Motion Language The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their May 7, 2025 meeting. At that time, they recommended approval of the variance request with 11 conditions by a 5-0-1 vote (Commissioner Burlingame abstained) The following are motion language options for the City Council to consider. • Approval with Conditions: Motion to approve with conditions Resolution 2025-042, approving Planning Case 25-002 for a variance to construct a new single-family dwelling with a 31.9 foot side yard setback on a corner lot at 3609 Pascal Avenue North, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the May 27, 2025, Report to the City Council: 1.

Notice Although a variance does not require a public hearing, a public meeting notice was prepared by the City and mailed to properties within 500 feet of the Subject Property on May 15, 2025. A public meeting notice for this planning case was published in the Pioneer Press. Minnesota statute does not clearly require a public hearing before a variance is granted or denied, however, after consulting with the City Attorney, staff agree that the best practice is to allow public forum on all variance requests. A public forum allows the city to establish a record and elicit facts to help determine if the application meets the practical difficulties factors.

Per city ordinance, up to 10% of the existing tree caliper inches may be removed without requiring mitigation; however, our plan exceeds that threshold and would typically require the replanting of 46 caliper inches at a 1:2 replacement rate. We are seeking flexibility from the Planning Commission under the tree and land preservation ordinance to allow trees numbered 24 through 37 to be counted toward our required replacement inches. These trees will remain undisturbed and serve an important role in maintaining privacy and sound buffering from the adjacent commercial property located to the west. Preserving them supports the environmental, visual, and residential character of the lot and aligns with the spirit of the ordinance. To support our request, we have attached the photos below to reference the trees currently on the lot, including the trees proposed for preservation. Additionally, we are fully committed to working with the Planning Commission on an appropriate and balanced solution. This may include: ● Replacing the full 46 caliper inches with newly planted trees, if required; ● Counting select insignificant trees currently present on the lot toward the replacement total, where reasonable; ● Transplanting trees from another wooded property under our ownership to this lot; ● Or contributing to a city-approved off-site tree planting effort or fund as a mitigation alternative. We are open to a hybrid approach that incorporates any of the above options, and we welcome continued dialogue with city staff to arrive at a mutually agreeable resolution that protects both the natural environment and the livability of the new home.

It is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Subject Property is the site of a single-family dwelling owned by the Applicant. Surrounding parcels to the north, east, and south are also zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses and the parcel to the west is zoned NB, Neighborhood Business District and designated for Low Density Residential Use in the Future Land Use Plan. The Subject Property is currently developed with a single-family residential dwelling (1,735 SF) and detached garage (528 SF). The property was originally developed in 1900 and the detached garage was constructed later. The detached garage was constructed in 1976 and the City Council granted a retroactive variance for a 4.5 foot side yard setback in 1977. Per the Certificate of Survey submitted with the variance request, the actual side yard setback for the detached garage is 9.6 feet as measured from the southmost corner to the lot line along County Road E. According to Zoning Code definitions, the front lot line on a corner lot is the shortest street lot line and the side lot line on a corner lot is the longest street lot line. A corner lot at the intersection of Pascal Avenue North and County Road E, the Subject Property’s front lot line is along Pascal Avenue North and its side lot line is along County Road E. The Subject Property is oriented with Page 2 of 10 the house and detached garage facing County Road E and with driveway access off of County Road E. Existing Building Site 2. Site Data 2040 Future Land Use Plan: LDR – Low Density Residential Existing Land Use: Single-Family Dwelling Zoning: R-1 Single Family Residential District Lot Size: 0.46 acres/19,945 square feet 3. Proposed Use The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures and rebuild a 2,704 square foot single-family dwelling with an attached garage on the Subject Property. The proposed dwelling would be oriented with the front of the house and garage facing Pascal Avenue and with driveway access off of Pascal Avenue. The existing curb cut on County Road E would be removed. The Applicant is requesting a variance to decrease the required side yard setback for corner lots for the Subject Property from 40 feet to 31.9 feet as measured from the south side of the structure to County Road E. Section 1320.06 of the Arden Hills City Code requires a side yard setback of 40 feet on corner lots. The Applicant states that the variance is requested to accommodate the home’s footprint, maintain a reasonable and respectful distance from the neighbors to the north, and fit the home safely on the lot. The Applicant references the Subject Property’s unusual orientation and access as reasons for the variance request, stating that the current driveway location has presented repeated safety hazards and significant winter maintenance burdens. County Road E Page 3 of 10 In their narrative, the Applicant writes that the relocation and reorientation of the building footprint and driveway to the quieter side road aligns with the neighborhood’s layout and enhances overall safety and visual consistency for the Subject Property and County Road E. The new home location would require a variance to allow a front yard setback of 31.9 feet versus 40 feet as required by city code. The proposed project complies with all other applicable city code requirements for the R-1 Zoning District (i.e. structure coverage, FAR, impervious surface, etc.) Proposed Redevelopment Building Site 4. Approvals The Planning Commission is being asked to determine whether a variance request for flexibility on the side yard setback for corner lots should be approved. The evaluation of the proposal should be based on the District Provisions in Section 1320, the General Regulations in Section 1325, and the Requirements for a Variance in Section 1355.04, Subd. 4. Plan Evaluation Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 1. District Provisions (R-1, Single Family Residential Zoning District) – Section 1320.06 Lot Size and Dimensions – Meets Requirement The Subject Property has a lot area of 19,945 square feet. Section 1320 – District Provisions of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet per single-family dwelling unit. Structure Setbacks – Variance Requested In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, respectively. The minimum side yard setback in the R-1 District is 10 feet and 25 feet combined. The proposed new dwelling and attached garage would be setback 40 feet and 104.5 feet from the Page 4 of 10 front and rear property lines, respectively. The proposed interior side yard setback would be 16 feet and the total proposed side yard setbacks would be 47.9 feet. Additionally, the minimum side yard setback on a corner lot in all residential zoning districts is 40 feet. The current principal structure and detached garage are located 9.9 and 9.6 feet from the side yard property line, respectively, as measured from County Road E. The proposed new dwelling and attached garage would be setback 31.9 feet from the side yard property line as measured from County Road E. The table below provides the minimum district requirements for the R-1 District and with a preliminary analysis of setbacks for the proposed development: R-1 District Requirements Existing Proposed Review of Proposed Minimum Front Yard Setback 40 feet 45.7 feet 40 feet Meets Requirements Minimum Rear Yard Setback 30 feet ~72 feet 104.5 feet Meets Requirements Minimum Side Yard Setback 10 feet (min)/25 feet (total) 9.6 and ~46 feet 55.6 total 16 and 31.9 feet 47.9 feet total Meets Requirements Minimum Side Yard Setback Corner Lot 40 feet 9.6 feet 31.9 feet Variance Requested Landscaped Area, Structure Coverage, Floor Area Ratio, and Building Height – Meets Requirements The proposal complies with all other applicable city codes for the R-1 Zoning District. In the R-1 District, the minimum landscaped area required without a variance is 65% of the property or 12,964.25 square feet of the Subject Property. The Applicant is proposing a landscaped area of 81.2% or 16,193 square feet, which complies with the minimum requirement. The R-1 District allows for a maximum structure coverage of 25% or 4,986.25 square feet. The Applicant is proposing a structure coverage of 13.5% or 2,704 square feet, which complies with the maximum requirement. In the R-1 District, the maximum allowed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.3, or 5,983.5 square feet. The Applicant is proposing a FAR of 0.171 or 3,408 square feet, which complies with the maximum requirement. The maximum building height allowed in the R-1 District is 35 feet, measured as the average height between the eaves and the highest ridge of gable, hip, or gambrel roof. The proposed dwelling would have a maximum height of 14 feet and 4 inches, which complies with the maximum requirement. 2. General Regulations (Tree and Landscaping Preservation) – Section 1325.055 Tree Mitigation Plan – Meets Requirements Per Section 1325.055, a tree preservation plan is required as part of an application for new building construction in any zoning district. The Applicant has provided a tree preservation plan in accordance with Appendix A of the Zoning Code. The table below illustrates staff’s analysis of the provided information according to the minimum requirements: Page 5 of 10 Existing Significant Tree Caliper Inches =A A 358 inches 10 percent permitted for removal without mitigation A*.1=B B 35.8 inches Significant tree caliper inches proposed for removal =C C 128 inches Caliper inches requiring mitigation (A-B)-C=D D 92.2 inches Number of caliper inches of replacement trees required at 1:2 rate D/2=E E 46.1 inches The Applicant provided with their tree preservation plan an account of both significant and non- significant trees on the Subject Property. Their proposal includes removing 128 caliper inches of significant trees due to the relocation of the building footprint and driveway access to a currently landscaped portion of the Subject Property. The Applicant acknowledges that approximately 46 caliper inches of replacement trees would be required for replanting in accordance with city code. As part of their variance request, the Applicant indicates that they agree to meet the requirements of Section 1325.055 and are open to an approach that includes one or a combination of the following: counting preserved trees towards the required landscaping plan, replanting the required replacement trees on-site, or contributing a landscaping fee in lieu of planting. The proposed plans would meet requirements. 3. General Regulations (Requirements for Parking, Loading, and Circulation) – Section 1325.06 Parking and Driveway Requirements – Meets Requirements Section 1325.06 is applicable to the review of the Applicant’s proposal as the request includes removing the existing curb cut from County Road E and creating a new curb cut for a driveway with access to Pascal Avenue. County Road E is a county road and defined as a collector road while Pascal Avenue is a city road and defined as a local road. Per the Zoning Code, single family dwellings are required to provide two (2) off-street parking spaces and all off-street parking spaces shall have access driveways and access directly to public streets. Any residential lot, which has frontage on both a local street and a collector street shall gain access only from the local street. The Applicant’s proposal would remove a collector street curb cut and access driveway and relocate the Subject Property’s access driveway to the local street, bringing the Subject Property into compliance with the code requirements for a residential lot drive access. 4. Variance Review The role of the Planning Commission is to determine and consider how the facts presented to them compare with the city’s articulated standards. The Commission should base their decision on the facts presented and then apply those facts to the legal standards contained in city ordinances and relevant state law. Neighborhood opinion alone is not a valid basis for granting or denying a variance request. While the Planning Commission may feel their decision should reflect the overall will of the residents, the task in considering a variance request is limited to evaluating how the variance application meets the statutory practical difficulties factors. Residents can often provide Page 6 of 10 important facts that may help in addressing these factors, however, unsubstantiated opinions and reactions to a request do not form a legitimate basis for a variance decision. The Planning Commission may impose conditions when granting variances as long as the conditions are directly related and bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the variance. For instance, if a variance is granted to exceed the front setback limit, any conditions attached should presumably relate to mitigating the effect of the encroachment. Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 The Applicants are requesting a side yard setback for corner lots variance to demolish and reconstruct a single-family dwelling on the property located at 3609 Pascal Avenue North. The Planning Commission will need to make a determination utilizing the following variance findings and criteria on whether there are practical difficulties with complying with the zoning regulations. If the applicants do not meet all the factors of the statutory test, then a variance should not be granted. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 1. Purpose and Intent. The variance request shall comply with the purpose and intent of the provisions of the City’s Zoning Regulations and with the policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing single-family dwelling unit and detached garage and rebuild a 2,704 square foot single-family dwelling with an attached garage on the Subject Property. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and it is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The proposed use of the Subject Property and the variance request comply with the purpose and intent of the provisions of the City’s Zoning Regulations and the policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. Practical Difficulties. The Applicant for a variance shall establish that there are practical difficulties in complying with the provisions of the Arden Hills Zoning Regulations. The term “Practical Difficulties” as used in the granting of a variance means: a. Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. According to the Applicant, the property cannot be reasonably used to construct a standard single-family home consistent with others in the area without the requested variance for the side yard setback for corner lots. The Applicant states that the current building envelope and the existing driveway configuration prevent reasonable and effective residential use under the Zoning Ordinance. b. Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. According to the Applicant’s written narrative, the corner lot configuration, the property’s proximity to County Road E, and the required side yard setback for a corner lot are unique challenges not created by the landowner. The current location of the driveway presents Page 7 of 10 safety hazards and significant winter maintenance burdens unique to the property as a result of the Subject Property’s orientation and access. c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The Applicant states that the intent of the proposed variance would allow for a reasonable building footprint while maintaining appropriate distances from all surrounding structures and streets. It is stated that the proposed relocation of the driveway aligns with the neighborhood’s typical layout, enhances overall safety and visual consistency and enhances the character of the block. 3. Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical difficulty. The Applicant states that the variance request is based on a broader set of livability, safety, and functional design issues rather than economic considerations. 4. Access to Sunlight. Inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems shall be considered a practical difficulty. A solar energy system is not proposed. Additional Review Building Official The Building Official has reviewed the plans and has no additional comments at this time. A Building Permit will be required prior to any demolition or construction activity taking place. Public Works Director/City Engineer The Public Works Director/City Engineer has reviewed the plans and has no additional comments at this time. Public Works permits will be required prior to any land disturbance, utility, or right- of-way work. These items have been included in the drafted conditions of approval. Ramsey County Public Works The Ramsey County Public Works Department has been sent the submitted plans and the plan review was in progress at the time of printing. Staff will provide a verbal update at the meeting and has included a drafted condition of approval requiring the Applicant to attain the necessary Ramsey County permits. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission must make a finding as to whether or not the proposed application would adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole based on the aforementioned factors. Staff offers the following findings for consideration: General Findings: 1. City Staff received a land use application for a variance request to the required R-1 Zoning District side yard setback for corner lots at the Subject Property 3609 Pascal Avenue North. Page 8 of 10 2. The Subject Property received a variance in 1977 for a 4.5 foot side yard setback for an existing detached garage. 3. The detached garage on the Subject Property is currently setback 9.6 feet from the side property line along County Road E. 4. The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property closer to conformance with the R-1 district standards and reduces the side yard setback for corner lots encroachment at 31.9 feet. 5. The proposed single-family dwelling would not require a primary front yard or rear yard setback variance. 6. The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. 7. The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property into conformance with the parking and driveway access standards for a residential lot. Variance Findings: 8. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 9. The variance would be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan because it meets the City’s housing goal of encouraging redevelopment that is complementary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 10. A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 11. A single-family dwelling is a reasonable use of the property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the requested variance. 12. The proposed single-family dwelling would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the configuration of development on the Subject Property would be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. 13. The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone. Options and Motion Language Staff has provided the following options and motion language for this case.

Planning Case 25-002 – 3609 Pascal Avenue North – Variance Senior Planner Fransen explained Logan McCarthy (the “Applicant”) has requested a variance to decrease the required side yard setback for corner lots for future demolition and redevelopment of a single-family residential dwelling on the property located at 3609 Pascal Avenue North (“Subject Property”). To construct the proposed single -family dwelling, the Applicant is requesting a reduced side yard setback for corner lots of 31.9 feet rather than 40 feet as required by the city code. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 2 Senior Planner Fransen stated 3609 Pascal Avenue, the Subject Property, is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. It is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The Subject Property is the site of a single-family dwelling owned by the Applicant. Surrounding parcels to the north, east, and south are also zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses and the parcel to the west is zoned NB, Neighborhood Business District and designated for Low Density Residential Use in the Future Land Use Plan. Senior Planner Fransen explained The Subject Property is currently developed with a single- family residential dwelling (1,735 SF) and detached garage (528 SF). The property was originally developed in 1900 and the detached garage was constructed later. The detached garage was constructed in 1976 and the City Council granted a retroactive variance for a 4.5 foot side yard setback in 1977. Per the Certificate of Survey submitted with the variance request, the actual side yard setback for the detached garage is 9.6 feet as measured from the southmost corner to the lot line along County Road E. According to Zoning Code definitions, the front lot line on a corner lot is the shortest street lot line and the side lot line on a corner lot is the longest street lot line. A corner lot at the intersection of Pascal Avenue North and County Road E, the Subject Property’s front lot line is along Pascal Avenue North and its side lot line is along County Road E. The Subject Property is oriented with the house and detached garage facing County Road E and with driveway access off of County Road E Senior Planner Fransen stated that the Applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures and rebuild a 2,704 square foot single-family dwelling with an attached garage on the Subject Property. The proposed dwelling would be oriented with the front of the house and garage facing Pascal Avenue and with driveway access off of Pascal Avenue. The existing curb cut on County Road E would be removed. The Applicant is requesting a variance to decrease the required side yard setback for corner lots for the Subject Property from 40 feet to 31.9 feet as measured from the south side of the structure to County Road E. Section 1320.06 of the Arden Hills City Code requires a side yard setback of 40 feet on corner lots. Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the site data, the Plan Evaluation and provided the Findings of Fact for review: General Findings: 1. City Staff received a land use application for a variance request to the required R -1 Zoning District side yard setback for corner lots at the Subject Property 3609 Pascal Avenue North. 2. The Subject Property received a variance in 1977 for a 4.5 foot side yard setback for an existing detached garage. 3. The detached garage on the Subject Property is currently setback 9.6 feet from the side property line along County Road E. 4. The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property closer to conformance with the R-1 district standards and reduces the side yard setback for corner lots encroachment at 31.9 feet. 5. The proposed single-family dwelling would not require a primary front yard or rear yard setback variance. 6. The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 3 7. The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property into conformance with the parking and driveway access standards for a residential lot. Variance Findings: 8. Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 9. The variance would be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan because it meets the City’s housing goal of encouraging redevelopment that is complementary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 10. A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 11. A single-family dwelling is a reasonable use of the property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the requested variance. 12. The proposed single-family dwelling would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the configuration of development on the Subject Property would be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. 13. The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone. Senior Planner Fransen reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission for Planning Case 25-002 for a variance to construct a new single-family dwelling with a 31.9 foot side yard setback on a corner lot at 3609 Pascal Avenue North: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 1. A Building Permit shall be issued prior to the commencement of demolition and for the new home construction. 2.

Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Collins opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Burlingame reported he lived across the street from the applicant and for this reason he would be recusing himself from discussing and voting on this item. Commissioner Bjorkland thanked staff for the thorough staff report. Commissioner Jacobson questioned what process would be in place for the demolition of the existing dwelling. Senior Planner Fransen stated the City would require the applicant to apply for a demolition permit. Commissioner Jacobson thanked the applicant for all of their hard work on the tree survey. She commented on the tree mitigation plan noting tree seven was a hardwood tree. She asked if a conifer could be used for replacement purposes. Senior Planner Fransen commented conifers could be used for replacement purposes, but had different replacement calculations. Commissioner Jacobson inquired if the grading plan would impact more trees. Senior Planner Fransen explained there could be changes to the tree replacement plan due to the necessary grading and the applicant would have to comply with the City’s tree replacement requirements. She indicated an administrative review would be completed on the tree replacement plan. Logan McCarthy, 3609 Pascal Avenue, thanked staff for the thorough presentation and stated he was excited to see this improvement in the community. Commissioner Jacobson indicated she lives on a corner lot as well and understood how difficult it was to meet setback requirements. She stated she did not have any objections to the proposed request. Commissioner Erler explained he liked the plan a lot. Commissioner Birken reported she understood how dangerous the applicant’s driveway was and she believed the proposed house plan would fit in nicely with the street. She commented her only concern was with the tree plan. She asked where the new trees would be planted. Mr. McCarthy stated the new trees would be planted along the west property line against the neighborhood business lot and along County Road E. Commissioner Bjorklund supported this item moving forward as submitted without the recommended conditions. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 7, 2025 5 Commissioner Birken questioned if it would be in the City’s best interest to approve the item with the staff recommended conditions. Commissioner Bjorklund was of the opinion the Findings of Fact and normal permitting process would address all concerns and the additional conditions were unnecessarily burdensome. Chair Collins asked staff to respond to this statement. Senior Planner Fransen explained the conditions were drafted by staff to offer clarifying information to the Applicant. She indicated the Planning Commission may include the conditions. The Applicant would continue with their process and working with staff through the building permit application. Chair Collins questioned if it would be fair to say the applicant would be addressing Conditions 1 through 11 automatically by proceeding through this process and staff was offering granular information. Senior Planner Fransen stated these conditions offer specificity to portions of City Code and offer more granular information for the applicant. She reported with variances, additional conditions could be added. Commissioner Bjorklund inquired the applicant was a pillar of the community and would be remaining in the City. He was of the opinion the proposed conditions were overburdensome. Commissioner Jacobson stated she disagreed with Commissioner Bjorklund, and she wanted to see the conditions remain in the variance approval. She believed it was important for the City to make sure the applicant was aware of the clear path. Commissioner Erler indicated he was sympathetic to Commissioner Bjorklund’s position and he did not want to make approvals overburdensome. However, with this case, he supported keeping the conditions in place. Commissioner Birken agreed stating clarity for the applicant was a good thing. Chair Collins supported the conditions remaining in place. Commissioner Jacobson moved and Commissioner Birken seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 25-002 for a Variance to construct a new single- family swelling with a 31.9 foot side yard setback on a corner lot at 3609 Pascal Avenue North on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the May 7, 2025, report to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Bjorklund stated he was trying to make government less burdensome and he was of the opinion the conditions were not necessary.

The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and it is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The proposed use of the Subject Property and the variance request comply. 10 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. •According to the Applicant, the property cannot be reasonably used to construct a standard single-family home consistent with others in the area without the requested variance for the side yard setback for corner lots. The Applicant states that the current building envelope and the existing driveway configuration prevent reasonable and effective residential use under the Zoning Ordinance. 11 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. •According to the Applicant, the corner lot configuration, the property’s proximity to County Road E, and the required side yard setback for a corner lot are unique challenges not created by the landowner. The current location of the driveway presents safety hazards and significant winter maintenance burdens unique to the property as a result of the Subject Property’s orientation and access. 12 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. •The Applicant states that the intent of the proposed variance would allow for a reasonable building footprint while maintaining appropriate distances from all surrounding structures and streets. It is stated that the proposed relocation of the driveway aligns with the neighborhood’s typical layout, enhances overall safety and visual consistency and enhances the character of the block. 13 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical difficulty. •The Applicant states that the variance request is based on a broader set of livability, safety, and functional design issues rather than economic considerations. Access to Sunlight. Inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems shall be considered a practical difficulty. •A solar energy system is not proposed. 14 Public Notices •Section 1355.04, Subd. 5 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code states that a public hearing is not required for a Variance, but neighboring property owners shall be notified. Notification was prepared in accordance with City policy. •Notice was published in the Pioneer Press on May 15, 2025. Notice was prepared by the City and mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. •Staff received a written comment in favor of this application prior to the Planning Commission meeting. 15 Additional Reviews Building Official The Building Official has reviewed the plans and has no additional comments at this time.

3609 Pascal Avenue North. 2.The Subject Property received a variance in 1977 for a 4.5 foot side yard setback for an existing detached garage. 3.The detached garage on the Subject Property is currently setback 9.6 feet from the side property line along County Road E. 4.The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property closer to conformance with the R-1 district standards and reduces the side yard setback for corner lots encroachment at 31.9 feet . 5.The proposed single-family dwelling would not require a primary front yard or rear yard setback variance. 6.The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. 7.The proposed redevelopment would bring the Subject Property into conformance with the parking and driveway access standards for a residential lot. 18 Findings of Fact Variance Findings: 8.Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 9.The variance would be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan because it meets the City’s housing goal of encouraging redevelopment that is complementary to and enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. 10.A single-family dwelling is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District. 11.A single-family dwelling is a reasonable use of the property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the requested variance. 12.The proposed single-family dwelling would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood because the configuration of development on the Subject Property would be consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. 13.The variance request is not based on economic considerations alone. 19 Options and Motion Language •Approval with Conditions: Motion to approve with conditions Resolution 2025-042, approving Planning Case 25-002 for a variance to construct a new single-family
