REQUEST:Variance – additional ground signs at Amazon Fulfillment Center
st
ADDRESS: 6985 21AvenueSouth
PIDS: 24-31-22-32-0004, 23-31-22-41-0057, 23-31-22-41-0053
OWNER:Amazon.Com Services LLC
INTRODUCTION
thst
The Amazon Fulfillment Centeris under construction on the 40-acre site between 20and 21
Avenues South, south of Commerce Drive, and north of Fairview Street. Thefacility includes a
140,000-sq-ftFulfillment Centerbuilding, employee parking on the east side, van parking and
staging on the south side, and truck access and loading docks on the north side. When the
project was approved, signage was left for review later according to the City’s sign ordinance.
Ryan Companies has applied on behalf of Amazon for site signage, which includes ground signs
at three entrances to the site. City sign regulations limit a site to one ground sign. Amazon is
requesting a variance to allow two additional ground signs, for a total of three such signs.
PROPOSED SIGNAGE
The site plan is illustrated on the next page, showing the location of the three proposed signs:
st
Avenue S, at the NE corner of the site;
At the truck entrance on 21
st
At the employee entrance on 21Avenue S, on the east side of the site;
st
At the van entrance, the first driveway west of 21Avenue S off Fairview Street, on the
south side of the site.
The signs will each be 7 ft tall with a sign face 5 ft X 6 ft, or 30 sq ft, as illustratedon the next page.
The application and narrative provide more rationale for the requested signs.

RE: AmazonFulfillment Center, Sign Variance
CENTERVILLE SIGN ORDINANCE STANDARDS
Excerpts from Centerville’s Sign Ordinance are included at the end of this report. Section
152.18(C)(2) notes permitted signs in the Industrial district, including:
Ground signs. One (1) Ground sign ; provided, however, the sign does not exceed 200 square feet
in area 15 feet in height and located a minimum of fifteen from any property lines.
st
The proposed signs meet the area and height dimension. The two signs proposed on 21Avenue
South meet the required 15-ft setback, but the Fairview Street sign is shown at a setback of 10 ft to
the street right-of-way. The applicant agreed this was a simple oversight and thesign can be
movedback 5 ft to meetthe setback.
VARIANCE CRITERIA
Centerville’s Zoning Code has five criteria for considering variances, discussed below.
(1)The variance is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the zoning chapter of this code;
(2)The variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan;
(3)The proposal puts the property to use in a reasonable manner;
The first three criteria are fairly generalized. The zoning code and comp plan do not deal
specifically with signage. Providing signage for a large facility in the industrial district is a
reasonable use of the property, so we can say that the first three criteria are met.
(4)There are unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner;
The unique circumstance with this property isthat it is a very large site with avehicle-
intensive use. More typical development of this amount of property might have several
businesses, each with their own signage. In this situation, Amazon has several hundred
employees and several hundred vans accessing the site daily, so adequate signage is
essentialfor safety and efficiency. Three signs on the street frontages serving this property is
a reasonablerequest.
(5)The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality;
The site is in the City’s industrial park, opposite similar industrial uses to the east in Lino Lakes,
most of which are on much smaller sites, each with their own signage. The variance
allowing three signs for this property would not alter the character of this area.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommend approval of the variance to
allow three ground signs for the Amazon facility as illustrated on the submitted application and
plans, with the following condition and findings:
May 2, 2022
Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission
Page 4of 5
RE: AmazonFulfillment Center, Sign Variance
Condition for Approval
1)The location of the sign proposed on Fairview Street will be revised to meet the required 15-
foot setback from the street right-of-way.
Findings of Fact for Approval ofVariance
1)The proposed use –informational signs for the hundreds of vehicles serving the Amazon
distribution facility –is reasonable and is in harmony with the intent of the zoning code and
the comprehensive plan.
2)The Purpose and Intent section of the City’s signordinance includes the principlethat the
public will not be “annoyed, distracted, or displeased” by “unnecessary” signage, and as
such, the ordinance limits the number of ground signsper property in the industrial district.
3)The Amazon facility occupies a 40-acre site in the City’s industrial district where many of
the businesses are on much smaller sites. If this propertywere developed with more typical
lot sizes, each business with its own signage, there might have been many more signs on
st
21AvenueSouth and Fairview Street than the three signs proposed by Amazon.
4)The size of the Amazon site and the number of vehicles it serves make it a unique property
in the City. Meeting the ordinance requirement of only one sign on the site poses a serious
practical difficultyto safe and efficient operation of the facility.
5)Within the context of themany business sites in thesurrounding commercial and industrial
area,the three proposed signs willnot alter the essential character of that locality.
60-DAY RULE
The application wassubmitted on April 12, 2023. The deadline for final action by the City Council
on the variance request per State statue 15.99 is June 12, 2023.

(3)The proposal puts the property to use in a reasonable manner; and
(4)There are unique circumstances to the property not created by the landowner; and
(5)The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality;
SIGN ORDINANCE
152.18 (C) Industrial District (I-1). Permitted signs:
(1)Wall signs. Wall signs are permitted on each public street exposure or public parking exposure
provided the signage does not exceed ten percent of the wall area.

Memorandum
Date: April 24, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Mark Statz, PE Î City Administrator/Engineer
Subject: 1737 Main Street
Guys and Dolls Salon
Sketch Plan Review
The prospective developers of 1737 Main Street have produced three concept sketches
for their new retail building. In Option A, the building is set back to the rear of the yard,
with parking in front. Option B features a building in the front of the lot, with limited
setback to the right-of-way and parking in the rear. Option C is a more elongated
building, maximizing the front exposures. The ownership group does not wish to further
explore Option C.
Option A Option B
With Option B, comes the complication of overhead power
lines. The picture at the right shows these lines as viewed
from Progress Street, looking southeast. The lines can be
seen on the drawings shaded in yellow. For both safety and
aesthetic reasons, the power lines would need to be either
relocated or buried to accommodate Option B at a cost of
between $25,000 to relocate and $60,000 to bury. With
Option A, the power lines may not be as intrusive to the look
of the development and could remain in place.
Each option has pros and cons,
and produces questions for the
City Council and Planning
Commission. For background,
the property is zoned M-1 (Mixed
Use Corridors). All development
within the Mixed Use Districts is
done via Planned Unit
Development, allowing flexibility
in the cityÓs zoning code. In these
districts, the zoning code, relies
heavily on the Downtown Master
Plan and Development
Guidelines.
From the Downtown Master Plan and Development Guidelines:
Building Placement and Setbacks:
Mixed-Use Corridors
allow recessed spaces for outdoor dining, other street level activities and
variety of pedestrian environment. 80% of building facades should address
the build-to lines;
building features located at the
intersection of Centerville Road and Main Street or where other streets
intersect these two main roads. These locations will be seen from several
directions and terminate views. They will become future landmarks and
way finding icons as the Downtown Area develops;
tween buildings. Limited driveway access and
provisions
for pedestrian connections through blocks are encouraged. Gaps between
buildings
to accommodate surface parking lots, greater building setbacks or other
purposes are discouraged;
s to create street-level interest,
variety and enhance pedestrian scale along street frontage.
Parking Strategies: Mixed-Use Corridors
ily use that satisfy both quantity
and location needs through a mix of on street and off-street parking
solutions with a minimum of small surface lots;
pal parking facilities that minimize
total parking numbers by taking advantage of around the clock and
peak/off-peak hours of operation for various uses within the core area;
behind or to the side of primary buildings; surface parking lots along
major street frontage are not allowed in the core area;
ng facilities along major streets or
side streets in order to maintain a pedestrian friendly environment within
the Mixed-Use Corridors.
Below, the two preferred options put forward by the developer are discussed and must be
considered in relationship to the cityÓs zoning code and, by reference, the Downtown
Master Plan and Development Guidelines.
Option A Î Building in Rear, Parking in Front
Pros:
Maximizes potential for future expansion, should the property to the northeast
become available.
Offers safety and convenience to customers with parking spots closest to the front
door.
Allows for future drive-thru geometry if property to the northeast becomes
available.
Does not require power lines to be buried or relocated.
Cons:
Does not meet the intent of the Downtown Master Plan & Development
Guidelines, with regard to:
o Building placement at the build-to line (right-of-way)
o Placement of parking in the rear
Option B Î Building in Front, Parking in Rear
Pros:
Meets the intent of the Downtown Master Plan & Development Guidelines, with
regard to:
o Building placement at the build-to line (right-of-way)
o Placement of parking in the rear
Requires power lines to be buried or relocated.
Cons:
Should the property to the northeast become available, future expansion would be
limited to the construction of a second, stand alone building, which may reduce
efficiencies in site design, etc.
Raises safety concerns, with customers needing to park in the rear and walk
around the building to the front door. This may also be viewed as an
inconvenience to customers, especially those with disabilities.
Does not allow for drive-thru geometry.
Analysis, Recommendations, and Next Steps:
The prospective developer would like to reach an understanding with the city on a path
forward by arriving at a mutually agreeable building location. The next step for them is
to have their engineer and architect fully develop a building and site plan schematic. The
placement of the building is essential to both. While the developer is open to either
location, their preference is for Option A (building in the rear). They feel this option
gives them the most flexibility for future expansion and offers the safest, most convenient
layout for their customers. They have also expressed concern with the cost of relocating
power lines to accommodate Option B. Given the small scale of this development, it is
likely they would not be able to absorb this unanticipated expense.
The City Council and Planning Commission should weigh in on the two options,
considering the practical elements of each and their alignment with the vision for
downtown.
Possible conclusions might be:
Option A Î The city finds that the logistical issues and cost implications of a building-
forward design necessitate Option AÓs placement of the structure towards the rear of the
site. While the aesthetic of this option may not directly align with the vision outlined in
the Downtown Master Plan, if architectural considerations can be made to maximize
adherence to other elements of the plan, the overall impact of the project can still advance
the progress towards a revitalized downtown. Additionally, landscaping and other site
design elements should be considered to offset the site layout, by emphasizing the
streetscape and other placemaking opportunities.
Option B Î The city finds that Option B best aligns with the cityÓs Downtown Master
Plan and will best position us to attract similar style developments on adjacent blocks in
the future. Given the importance of this development as the first to implement the Master
PlanÓs design guidelines, the city is willing to be a partner and explore options for
removal of the power lines as a public expense.
In an effort to give the developer timely feedback, staff has placed this item on this
weekÓs work session agenda for discussion. However, we would typically request input
from the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission first. Therefore, we have also placed
it on the May 2, agenda for the P&Z Commission to consider. If the developer requires a
binding commitment from the city for removal of the power lines, it may be appropriate
for the item to be placed on the May 10 City Council meeting for formal action.

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Planning and Zoning Commissioner Candidate - Linda Broussard-Vickers
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
The city is in receipt of a request for consideration of a candidate to fill one of the two open seats on the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Linda Broussard-Vickers has offered to be a part of the commission
begining in June or July with the a commitment through December. Ms. Broussard-Vickers is a resident of
Centerville, but winters in the south for several months.
Given the fact that the commission is down two members and Ms. Broussard-Vickers has previous experience
on the commission, staff recommends considering this offer. Ms. Broussard-Vickers does not wish to chair the
committee as she has in the past, such that her potentially temporary position would be less disruptive. She is
also willing to step down should two qualified candidates step forward.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
N/A
REQUESTED ACTION:
Motion to recommend appointment of Linda Broussard-Vickers to the Planning and Zoning Commission,
waiving the requirement for a formal application, given Ms. Broussard-Vickers recent participation on the
commission.
