(3 Stantec 733 Marquette Avenue, Suite 1000, Minneapolis, MN 55402 Planning Report DATE: May 3, 2022 TO: Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission FROM: Phil Carlson, AICP, Stantec APPLICANT: Chad Lockwood, Ryan Companies REQUEST: "Banjo" Distribution Center, Planned Unit Development, Plat ADDRESS: 6900 Block of 215t Avenue (Rehbein Black Dirt) PIDS: 24-31-22-32-0003 & 24-31-22-32-0002 OWNER: Rehbein Properties INTRODUCTION A national company proposes a 140,000-sq-ft distribution center on now vacant land owned by Rehbein Properties in the industrial park. The user is confidential for now; the project goes by the name "Banjo" and is represented by Ryan Companies. The site consists of three parcels totaling about 40 acres, between 20t" and 21 It Avenues, north of Fairview Street, south of Commerce Drive. The project was reviewed informally by the Planning & Zoning Commission on April 5 where the Commission voted (as allowed in the Zoning Code) to process the project as a planned unit development (PUD), which Ryan has applied for, as well as a site plan review, preliminary and final plat. The site is essentially vacant, used for Rehbein's large-scale black dirt operations. There is street frontage on three sides: east and west along 20t" and 21 It Avenues, and south along Fairview Street. The northeast corner of the site is at the intersection of Commerce Drive and 21 It Avenue. Clearwater Creek angles across the northern quarter of the site, separating a 5-acre triangle of land, mostly wetland, from the rest of the site. Adjacent uses and zoning are industrial to the north and south in Centerville, as well as east across 21 It Avenue in Lino Lakes. To the west across 20t" Avenue are commercial zoning and uses, including the Creative Kids Academy daycare, Centerville Storage mini -storage, and Mechanical Air Systems.
