The site is zoned B-1. “Mini- storage” was recently added to the Zoning Code as a Conditional Use in the B-1 District. PLANNING ISSUES Existing Land Use The proposed site is vacant and surrounded on three sides – north, east, and south – by other vacant or occupied commercial and industrial land. To the west is the single family neighborhood on Eagle Trail. Proposed Project th The project proposes four buildings on site with a single driveway access to 20 Avenue. There are paved driveways around all buildings on all sides. An existing wetland at the rear of the site is preserved and storm ponds added. The site will be fenced with a chain link security fence and gated at the driveway entrance with security code needed to enter. 3 Green Space and Landscaping Commercial sites are required to have at least 10% of the lot area in green space, which this site provides – almost 40% green, due mostly to the wetland and ponding area in the rear. Commercial parking lots are required by code to have 3 percent within the parking area “landscaped with grass and shrubbery and other approved ground cover.” The site plan does not provide this, as the paving goes right up to the edges of all buildings. This is an aspect of this plan that needs to be revised, which may require reducing building size. Commercial uses are required by Section 156.178 of the Code to landscape the site, including: o One overstory tree for every 3,000 square feet of site area, including 1 tree for every 50 feet of boulevard. The site is about 125,000 square feet in area with 435 feet of street frontage. This requirement translates to 41 overstory trees, of which 9 would be boulevard trees; and o One foundation planting for every 10 lineal feet of building and perimeter of parking area. No landscape plan has been submitted as of this writing but is expected soon. Requirements are illustrated below. 4 Parking A storage facility like the one proposed does not have parking needs in the same sense of other commercial uses. Every visitor to the site is likely to park temporarily on site to load and unload. There are continuous paved drive aisles at least 18’ wide up to all the storage buildings, which is wide enough to accommodate a parked car or truck and space to pass around it. The site will likely have enough parking space to accommodate all users. Outside Storage Outside storage is not specifically noted on the site plan or other application materials and we assume there will be no outside storage of any materials or vehicles. Exterior Building Materials The building is proposed to be constructed with split-face concrete block on the lower portion of the building and vinyl lap siding above on the gable ends. The Zoning Code criteria in 156.030(M) require “face brick, finished block or other textured masonry product”. Vinyl lap siding is not consistent with this standard and the building exterior must be revised. RECOMMENDATION Conditional Use Permit The Zoning Code has specific criteria in 156.320(B)(2) for granting a Conditional Use Permit: a) That the proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or city; b) That the proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare; and c) That the proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district regulations. We recommend that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the Centerville Storage project with the following conditions: 1) Exterior storage of goods or vehicles is not permitted. 2) Sales or auctions on the premises are not permitted except for auctions conducted by the facility owner no more than four times a year for items that have been stored in the facility, 5 not outside property or items brought onto the site for the auction. 3) The facility will consist of individual storage units for retail customers, with individual rental spaces of no more than 500 square feet, not large industrial type warehousing. 4) The hours of operation will be limited to 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. 5) Site lighting will be downcast cutoff type fixtures directed away from adjacent residential uses with no more than one half (0.5) foot-candle of light at all exterior lot lines. The lighting plan will be submitted to the City Planner and City Engineer for approval before a building permit is issued. 6) Landscaping and screening shall be provided as follows: a. The facility will provide a fence or wall in the rear yard that is at least 90% opaque, or a double row of evergreen trees or shrubs, at least 6 feet high, to screen activity areas on site from adjacent residential uses. b. At least 3% of the paved driving areas shall be landscaped with grass, shrubbery or approved ground cover as required by City Code. c. One overstory tree shall be provided for every 3,000 square feet of site area, including 1 tree for every 50 feet of boulevard. The site is about 125,000 square feet in area with 435 feet of street frontage, which translates to 41 overstory trees, of which 9 would be boulevard trees; d. One foundation planting will be provided for every 10 lineal feet of building and perimeter of parking area. Since the building type for this kind of storage facility (continuous garage doors) does not lend itself to foundation plantings, additional landscaping elsewhere at the edges of the site will need to be provided. 7) The exterior building materials will be revised to be face brick, finished block or other textured masonry product, or an exception approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission. 8) Signage for the project will be reviewed and approved by the City Planner. 9) All engineering, infrastructure and stormwater issues will be resolved to the satisfaction of the City Engineer prior to issuance of a building permit. 10) The users of the site will produce no noise, vibrations, air pollution, light pollution, fire hazards or noxious emissions which will disturb or endanger neighboring properties. 11) Applicant will follow the applicable standards and requirements of the City of Centerville City Code, Rice Creek Watershed District, Anoka County, Army Corp of Engineers, FEMA, Minnesota DNR and any other agency having jurisdiction over the property and shall secure those same files with the City. 6 Findings of Fact for Conditional Use Permit The Planning and Zoning Commission might consider the following Findings of Fact in support of their recommendation on the Conditional Use Permit: 1) The proposed Centerville Storage facility is an appropriate use for the City’s Business district as a mini-storage use. 2) The City’s expectation of no exterior storage or sales on site serves the goal of creating an attractive high quality business environment in the business park. 3) The City’s expectation of setting limits to the hours of operation in a self-serve storage facility is reasonable to protect the peace and quietude of adjacent residential areas. 4) The City’s expectation for high quality, durable building materials is reasonable to protect the investment and character of its business districts. 5) The project as proposed with the additional conditions imposed by the City meets the criteria for granting a Conditional Use Permit in Section 156.320(B)(2) of the Zoning Code. Site Plan Review We recommend that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Site Plan for Centerville Storage with the following conditions: 1) The site plan be revised to include a wall or fence buffer to the adjacent residential area at least 90% opaque and at least 6 feet in height. 2) The applicant will submit a landscape plan with the following: a. At least 3% of the paved driving area will be grass, shrubbery or approved ground cover as required by City Code. b. At least one overstory tree for every 3,000 square feet of site area will be provided, th with 1 tree for every 50 feet of boulevard to be located on the boulevard 20 Avenue. The site is 125,000 square feet in area with 435 feet of street frontage. This requirement translates to 41 overstory trees, of which at least 9 would be boulevard trees. c. Additional landscaping at the perimeter of the site in amount equal to the foundation planting requirement. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 LIC.
