Memorandum
Date: November 27, 2024
To: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission
From: Athanasia Lewis, Assistant City Administrator
Subject: Amending the Table of Allowed Uses
Background
Over the last year, the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council have approved
several applications for small businesses whose operations are similar to machine shops/repair.
The approved businesses involve light assembly of a wide variety of products that do not
produce exterior noise, glare, fumes, obnoxious by-products or wastes. In addition to these types
of businesses, staff are receiving inquiries from auto-related, real estate-related, and other types
of businesses who are also interested in locating in Centerville.
Considering the number of approved applications, over the last year, coupled with ongoing
inquiries from businesses interested in locating in the city, staff is proposing that the Planning
and Zoning Commission consider amending the Table of Allowed Uses, Table 156-A, to provide
necessary changes to more clearly allow omitted business types to operate within the city. In
addition, the State has mandated that the city must allow one cannabis retail business. The update
to Table 156-A will need to reflect this change as well.
Public Hearing
At the December 3, 2024, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, a public hearing will be
held to consider amending the Table of Allowed Uses, Table 156-A.
Residents are encouraged to provide input at this hearing.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the following amendments to the Table of Allowed Uses
Real estate-related business be added to the Table and permitted in the B-1 and B-2
Commercial Districts
Light assembly be added to the Table and permitted in the I Industrial District and B-1
Commercial District
Auto-detailing be added to the Table and permitted in the I Industrial District and B-1
and B-2 Commercial Districts
Cannabis Retail Business be added to B-1 and B-2 Commercial Districts, requiring a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP); this use would be prohibited in the M-1 and M-2 Zoning
Districts.
Construction trade offices and yards (within building only) be added and permitted in the
B-1 Commercial District
Auto detailing Î added and included in the B-1 and B-2 Commercial Districts and I
Industrial District
A marked-up version of the Table of Allowed Uses is attached.

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Peltier Ponds - Adjacent Jursidction Review
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
The city of Lino Lake is in receipt of a development proposal for land adjacent to the City of Centerville. The
development would be immediately north of the city and spans from 20th Avenue over to Peltier Lake. As
required by law, the city of Lino Lakes has asked adjacent jurisdictions for comment on the proposal. Staff has
prepared a few brief comments and ask if the Planning Commission wishes to add to, subtract from, or modify
those comments.
The city of Lino Lakes and its developer are not obligated to make any changes to the development based on
the city's comments, but often do address them in some manner as a matter of sound development principals.

Date: November 27, 2024
To: Honorable Chair and Planning Commissioner
From: Mark Statz, PE – City Administrator/Engineer
Subject: Adjacent Jurisdiction Development Review
Background
Attached is a development concept plan submitted to the City of Lino Lakes for a
residential development on property adjacent to the City of Centerville. The arrow below
shows the development in relation to the Centerville’s Future Land Use Map from the
Comprehensive Plan.
Zoning
The proposed zoning for the project is a combination of low, medium, and high density
th
residential areas. The higher density housing is positioned along 20Avenue and on the
south side of the development, nearest the city boundary. However, there is a large
buffer of wetlands in between. There is an area of upland along the city boundary, which
does not show any homes proposed. It is unclear whether this area may be developed in
the future, especially if there were road access from the south (connecting into future
Centerville development).
Notably, there is a large piece of property adjacent to Centerville, to the southwest of this
development which is not part of this proposal.
Road and TrailConnectivity
One element of adjacent development often important to review is the connectivity of
road and trail networks. These facilities become part of the larger community where
residents of both cities expect continuity in their transportation and recreation routes.
Most residents using the roads and trails won’t know whether they are in Centerville or
Lino Lakes. The arrows below show potential trail and road connections, Mill Road on
th
the west and 20 Avenue on the east, respectively.
Mill Road
Although the development proposal is not immediately adjacent to Centerville at Mill
Road, it is important that both a road network and trail network be put in place, ready to
be bridged by the eventual development of the property in between. It appears that the
southern extension of Gordon Avenue Northwill offera logical through route for Mill
Road’s extension to the north. This route also appears to feature a trail or sidewalk along
the east side of the road. This works well with the existing sidewalk along Mill Road in
Centerville.
It is not clear whether or not Peltier Lake Drive will be severed as part of this
development or not. In other words, will northbound traffic on Mill Road, end up at a
dead end on Peltier Lake Drive. Again, it seems appropriate that eventually, Mill Road
would become Gordon Avenue North, but it is not clear what happens in theinterim.
th
20Avenue (CSAH 54)
th
The east portion of the development borders the existing right-of-way of 20 Avenue
(CSAH 54). This road connection is also important. The development plan shows just
th
one connection to the busy county road, making for efficient access, keeping 20 Avenue
free of unnecessary side-roads.
th
A trail is not shown along the west side of 20 Avenue. However, a wider, multi-use
th
trail already exists along the east side of 20 Avenue. The use of the east-side trail,
unfortunately, requires crossing the county road. A trail stubbed to the south may be a
good way for folks on the west side of county road to have a self-contained trail and
sidewalk loop linking Centerville and Lino Lakes without the need to cross. Some trail
rd
work would need to be done in Centerville to make this connection between 73 Street
th
and the proposed new development. The potential of a trail along the west side of 20
rd
Avenue, north of 73 Street has been discussed in recent years as the Peltier Estates
development was examined. Further exploration of this idea should be a priority for both
cities.
East-West Connection to Future Development
It will be important for the east-west road which runs through the high density townhome
th
area to be constructed to dimensions which support a viable through route between 20
Avenue and the future development area as shown in the map below. Without this route,
rd
traffic from the future development area will be likely to use Mill Road and 73 Street as
th
their primary in-and-out to 20 Avenue.
Parks
A park is shown in the southwests corner of the development with lakeshore access.
More information about the potential uses of this park should be gathered. If the park
were used for boat access, this may be a concern to existing lakeshore homeowners.
Utilities
It is staff’s understanding that the development will be served by Lino Lakes’ sewer and
water utilities. We do not anticipate any interconnection between the two cities’ utility
infrastructure as part of this development.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Staff offers the following comments for consideration by the Planning Commission to be
forwarded to the City of Lino Lakes:
th
1. A trail should be considered along the west side of 20 Avenue between the
southern border of Lino Lakes and the entrance road to the development.
2. The east-west road through the high density townhome area should be designed to
handle traffic from the future development area directly to the west.
3.Further information on the uses proposed for the lakeside park should be
provided.
4.It is assumed that Gordon Ave. North will connect to Mill Road, through the
undeveloped area, at some point in the future. A trail connection through that
area should be planned as well.It should be clarified what happens to Peltier
Lake Drive in the interim (i.e. will it be dead ended?).

Compliance and enforcement
Local registration process
Page 1 of 7
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 12, 2024
Attorney Baumgartner also noted that a percentage of the revenue on cannabis sales will come
back to cities.
Attorney Baumgartner noted that the ordinance being introduced to the Commission does not
regulate low potency edibles (hemp-derived), which is already legal. Attorney Baumgartner
added that some cities have one ordinance that regulates low potency edibles and cannabis in
a combined ordinance. The City of Centerville is introducing just the one ordinance on
regulating the sale of cannabis.
Commission Discussion Ensued about the Following:
The city only having a cannabis retail business on a finished product, thereby limiting
cultivation to distribution. *Attorney Baumgartner advised that the intent of the
proposed ordinance is to start with cannabis retail sales.
The number of registration(s) in the city and limitation to one retailer in the city. *Attorney
Baumgartner noted that cities can always have more than one cannabis retail sales
business, but that they are required to have at least one of these businesses for every
12,500 people. Administrator Statz added that if the County gets one of these businesses
before the city does then the city could deny registrations; he noted that it is unlikely
that the city will not receive an application first.
Compliance checks and enforcement. *Attorney Baumgartner noted that there are not
good ways to test limits like there are for alcohol.
Hours of operation exclude Sunday. *Attorney Baumgartner noted that there was not a
specific reason for excluding Sunday hours in the draft ordinance.
Preliminary approval at the State for social equity applicants, as outlined in State Statute
342.17. *Attorney Baumgarter noted that once social equity applicants receive priority
over regular applicants, and once approval is granted at the state, applicants can then
go through the city registration process. He also added that there are several licenses
available for social equity applicants and a certain number for regular applicants, and
if the number of applicants in each of these groups exceeds the number of licensed then
the state will use a lottery system.
Local control to revoke, suspend licenses. *Attorney Baumgarter noted that cities do have
this authority, however the State has the ultimate say in terms of review and can reverse
decisions made locally.
Inquiry about the Colorado study in terms of if there is data on additional arrests, etc.
*Attorney Baumgartner said that the scope of the study did not cover arrests, although
he thinks arrests have increased some.
Zoning designation. Administrator Statz noted that his intent is not to add anything to the
Table of Allowed Uses, Table 156-A because Cannabis sales is a retail business, and
businesses are allowed in the business district. Commissioner Seppala asked if this
would be allowed in the M-1 and M-2 districts and Administrator Statz said that it is,
but that we could do a text amendment restricting cannabis sales from the M-1 and M-
2 districts. There is also a clarification about the ordinance having language that states
that cannabis retail businesses shall be 1,000 feet from a school (the draft ordinance
states 500 feet).
Clarification on if a cannabis retail sales business is a stand-alone business. *Attorney
Baumgartner noted that it is.

Public Hearing Opened
Chair Krueger opened the public hearing on the regulation of cannabis.
Public Comments
Nancy Golden, 1564 Lakeland Circle directed a couple of questions to Attorney Baumgartner:
1. Does the State currently have any mandates on the number of bars and liquor stores there
are per county based on the population. Attorney Baumgartner said not that he is aware of.
2. Referencing Page 2, Section 105 (B) of the draft ordinance, Ms. Golden asked if the city
could push back on the number of cannabis retail businesses allowed since the city is a 1/3
of the required one license per 12,500 residents in the county, or if we must allow this.
Attorney Baumgartner noted that the city has to allow one cannabis retail business per State
Statute.
3. Noting the 10% state sales tax with 2% coming back to the cities, Ms. Golden asked if we
could raise this amount. Attorney Baumgartner said this would all be statutory, and that the
money would come back to the county and then distributed to the cities based on
percentages.
Cara Johnson, 1862 Patridge Place
1. Ms. Johnson stated that she and her husband support the strictest measures on cannabis
across the city, noting the following:
a. Support for the strictest definition of cannabis retail business
b. Support for only one license in Centerville
c. Request for the following changes to the draft ordinance:
i. Adopt 1000 feet from a school (the stricter distance per state statute)
ii. Opposition to the city being involved in the sale of cannabis
iii. Best way to provide license require by city Î she advocates that the city do
nothing because in an ideal world the county would have enough licenses to
preclude the city from granting one; however, recognizing this may not be
possible she strongly advocates that the city not promote advertising any
license or a lottery system. Ms. Johnson noted that while opinions about
cannabis vary, she thinks everyone can agree that the exposure of cannabis
to children should be prevented.
Doug Driver, 1650 Lakeland Circle asked if there is guidance for restrictions on cannabis retail
businesses that are close to geographical boundaries. Attorney Baumgartner noted that the city can
only regulate whatÓs in the city, however, he did note that he thinks he could argue that cannabis
retail businesses need to be 1000-foot distance from a school, regardless of jurisdictional
boundaries.
The public hearing was closed at 7:16p.m.
Motion by Commissioner Seppala seconded by Commissioner Olson to Close the Public
Hearing. All in favor. Motion carried.
2. LaLonde Property Î 1687 Westview Street
a. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Page 3 of 7
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 12, 2024
b. Rezoning
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting that a public use is an allowed
use in every district on the Table of Allowed Uses; he added that the rezoning from M-2 to P-1 is cleaner
and a more transparent process for the future use of the property.
Centennial Schools Superintendent Jeff Holmberg gave a brief presentation on the reason for wanting to
purchase the LaLonde property, noting access adjacency to Centerville Elementary and an emphasis on
their long-range planning efforts. Mr. Holmberg added that their long-range plan looks at enrollment,
educational capacity, space for students, and amenities across the school district, including space for
extracurricular activities. Mr. Holmberg reviewed the districtÓs long range planning process. Mr. Patrick
Chaffee, Executive Director of Business Services with Centennial District provided a brief
overview of the school districtÓs needs outlined in the long-range plan.
Mr. Chaffee explained that the school is interested in purchasing the LaLonde property, but does
not intend to build anything on the property at this time; he added that the purchase of this property
would be a readjustment of where they were initially looking at heading, and that acquisition of
this property would allow them to address safety concerns with parent and bus traffic.
Mr. Chaffee presented a preliminary concept plan for discussion purposes, noting that acquisition
of this property would allow them to consider additional options in their long-range plan. Mr.
Chaffee also said that they are very early in their planning process and that school board approval
would be needs. In addition, Mr. Chaffee added that there would likely need to be a bond
referendum for the communityÓs consideration.
Discussion ensued about the flow of traffic, i.e. parental and bus traffic on Westview and at the
intersection of Main Street. Discussion also ensued about the approval process (plat approval, site plan
approval, and the Commission having the authority to review and approve the plans.
Public Hearing Opened
Chair Kruger opened the public hearing.
Public Comments
Heather Carciofini, 1652 Lakeland Circle expressed her support for rezoning the property to P-1 to allow
the school to purchase the property; she added that Centerville Elementary school is the cornerstone of
the community and a big reason many families chose to make their homes in Centerville. Ms. Carciofini
added that as the number of families in the community rise, itÓs imperative that we provide the school the
capacity they need to grow alongside the community. Ms. Carciofini stated that for these reasons she
would like to ask the Planning and Zoning Commission to vote yes for the rezoning.
Wendy Brilowski, 7124 Main Street stated that she wholeheartedly supports the school to acquire the
property. She said that she thinks it encourages growth in the community while also maintaining a sense
of small community and neighborhood feeling that everyone has been talking about.
Cara Johnson, 1862 Patridge Place stated that she and her husband support the rezoning and
comprehensive plan amendment that would allow the school to purchase the property. Ms. Johnson
added that their support comes from their love of our small town and the elementary school is at
the heart of this. She added that it is important to continue to support the development and upkeep
of our schools, especially, as we see growth from young families. Ms. Johnson added that she
Page 4 of 7
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 12, 2024
believes this a great example of growth in the downtown, but in a different way than what was
previously imagined in the Downtown Master Plan. Ms. Johnson stated that it would be good to
see expansion lead to more community use of an auditorium, gym or field-type space, adding that
she would like to see a plan that protects the beautiful waterfront, slope of the land, and safety of
children as a top priority.
Nancy Golden, 1564 Lakeland Circle expressed support for the rezoning of 1687 Westview Street
to allow the Centennial District 12 to purchase the property. Ms. Golden stated that there has been
significant growth in the number of kindergarten classrooms between 2004 and today and that a
strong school system is at the heart of every community, further adding that children are our future.
thth
Ms. Golden also stated that between March 25 and July 20 of this year, residents were asked to
rank their top 5 priorities for our community at four different events. Ms. Golden reviewed the
results noting the following:
1. Community center
2. Splash pad
3. Pickleball courts
4. Playground equipment
5. Warming hours and concession stand.
Ms. Golden also stated that she would like to propose that the city of Centerville convene an exploratory
committee to discuss an option of a joint venture between the city of Centerville and the Centennial
School District 12 for the purpose of a shared space on 1687 Westview Street. Ms. Golden noted that the
school would have priority of the proposed shared space during the school calendar and the community
could use the space during the evening, weekends, and non-school calendar. Further, the shared space
would be used for a community center, splash pad, pickleball courts, and a gym. Ms. Golden also noted
that basketball, a concession stand, and an indoor walking track could also be included in this space. Ms.
Golden added that since the playground equipment upgrade has already been approved, a shared space
would mean that the top 5 goals the community has requested would be met and she is requesting that
the Commission approve the rezoning.
The public Hearing was closed at 7:45P.M.
Motion by Commissioner Thompson seconded by Commissioner Kalina to Close the
Public Hearing. All in favor. Motion carried.

VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. None
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Cannabis Ordinance
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet. Discussion ensued about
limiting cannabis retail sales to the business district. Administrator Statz recommended adding this
use as a conditional use on the Table of Allowed Uses, Table 156-A. Discussion ensued about
restricting cannabis retail businesses 1000 feet from a school and 500 feet from daycares. The
Commission discussed the radius of day cares, noting that they would like to include home-based
Page 5 of 7
City of Centerville
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 12, 2024
licensed day cares in the language. Attorney Baumgartner noted that the state statute speaks mostly
to non-residential licensed day cares. The Department of Human Services (DHS) has a list of
licensed day cares, and the Commission would like there to be a 500-foot radius from licensed day
cares regardless of if they are brick and mortar or home-based. Staff will look up the licensed
businesses and draw a map showing the 500-foot distance from a licensed day care, and this
th
information will be provided to city council at their December 5 meeting when the draft ordinance
st
goes to council for 1 reading. Discussion also ensued about the local registration process. Attorney
Baumgartner advised the city to approve the first application that meets all the state and local
requirements, because it is easier and does not raise concerns from a discrimination standpoint.
Attorney Baumgartner said that he could add language about handling applications if two come in
at the same time. Discussion ensued about compliance checks: age verification and merchandise
(inventory and licensing).
Motion by Commissioner Seppala seconded by Chair Krueger to adopt the ordinance
regulating the sale of cannabis, limiting retail cannabis businesses 1000 feet from a school,
and limiting them to the business district known as B-1 and B-2 and adding a definition for a
day cay to include in-home licensed daycares, and to adopt cannabis retail businesses for a
conditional use. All in favor. Motion carried.
2. LaLonde Property 1687 Westview Street
a. Comprehensive Land Use Amendment
b. Rezoning
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, adding that there was support
from the public on the rezoning and comprehensive land use amendment.
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Seppala to recommend
approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning Applications from
Centennial School District 12 for 1687 Westview Street, with findings as presented and
including a request that the school and the city engage in a discussion about adding a
community center space to the project. All in favor. Motion carried.
3. Call for a Public Hearing Î Table of Allowed Uses
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented in the packet, noting the need to expand the
table to allow businesses that are not on the table.
Motion by Commissioner Thompson seconded by Commissioner Olson to call for a
Public Hearing to amend the Table of Allowed Uses to Include Businesses that Involve Light
Assembly and Light Manufacturing and others. All in favor. Motion carried.
4. Accept Resignation of Matthew McCabe and Declare a Vacancy on the Commission
Administrator Statz introduced this item as presented. Chair Krueger thanked Matt for his time.

City Clerk Celebrates 25 Years
th
Teresa Bender recently celebrated her 25
Anniversary as a Certified Municipal Clerk. During TeresaÓs tenure as the cityÓs Clerk, a lot has changed
and in a world of uncertainty, the city has been fortunate to have the steady and reliable talents of Ms. Bender
steering the ship. Congrats to you on your incredible milestone!
Metro I-Net Annual Visit
Annually, a representative from Metro I-Net visits with city staff to review their service with us, ensuring
we are getting what we need out of their organization. Executive Director, Holly LaRochelle conducted the
visit and reviewed enhanced security measures they are putting in place after a year in which email Phishing
campaigns affected five of the member communities. Holly also reviewed new tools we can use to monitor
training, help desk usage and other metrics.
Email Security Breach Update
rd
Staff has completed our review of the email security breach from earlier this year, working with a 3 party
consultant to analyze what files or emails were accessed. After reviewing all of the emails accessed by the
threat actor, we have identified three individuals whose private information may have been compromised.
Those parties have been notified of the breach and offered credit monitoring services, free of charge. The
rd
costs to the city for the 3 party consultant and credit monitoring services are being reimbursed through the
cityÓs insurance carrier. The city has also worked with the consultant and the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust to find ways to minimize our risk of this type of event in the future. There is no ongoing
threat to the cityÓs systems.

CENTENNIAL LAKES POLICE DEPARTMENT
Police Governing Board
The Police Governing Board met on November 18 at CLPD headquarters in Circle Pines. Updates from
the Chief were given about improvements around the building, including a new gate to the parking lot, new
concrete near the front door and the creation of two additional parking spots. Chief Mork also reported that
the department is fully staffed with two officers nearing completion of their training.
Annual compensation adjustments for the Chief, and support staff were approved along with several union
agreements related to minor contract issues and health insurance. Dates for 2025 meetings were set, with
the next Police Governing Board meeting set for February 10, 2025.
ENGINEERING
TH
20 Avenue (CSAH 54) Corridor Study
Staff recently met with County Engineering staff to discuss the timing, funding and logistics for projects along
the corridor. County staff will be sending a draft of the schedule for the various projects along with cost share
estimates to the cities in the next month or two.
2025 Thin Overlay Project
The City Engineer and Public Works Director have been examining streets and working with the Finance
Director to scope a potential overlay project for 2025. The street fund has roughly $1 Million in available cash
to spend. An overlay project was last done in 2022. For the past 10 years or so, the city has been doing
bituminous (blacktop) overlays in lieu of seal coating. The overlays aim for a cycle of around 15 to 20 years,
where seal coating was on a 5-to-7-year rotation. In the end, the overall cost is roughly the same, but we
believe the results are better with the overlays. Homes along the route of the overlay project are generally
asked to contribute a small portion of the cost (usually about 20%), through special assessments. The
remaining costs come from the street fund which is supported by general levy taxes and franchise fees.
PUBLIC WORKS
Solar on Public Buildings Grant
On this agenda is approval of the grant contract between the city and the
state of Minnesota. The agreement lays out the particulars of the grant
agreement and is the final step prior to beginning construction of the
project.
Public Works Director Retires
After 30+ years with the City of Centerville, Paul Palzer will be retiring
from his position as the Public Works Director and Building Official.
PaulÓs long career started when he was the only full-time employee of
the city and saw the advancement of much of the cityÓs development and
infrastructure. The high quality housing stock, roads, sewers, and water
we enjoy today have a lot to do with PaulÓs attention to detail and hard
work over the years. Thanks for your years of dedicated service, Paul.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning and Zoning Commission
Open Seat
The Planning and Zoning Commission will be accepted the resignation of one of its members earlier this
month, meaning that there is an opening on the board. Interested candidates should contact city hall for an
application or you can find one online at www.centervillemn.com
Next Meeting
The next meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission will be December 3. Agenda items include: 1.
a public hearing on the Table of Allowed Uses to discuss uses such as light manufacturing and other types
of businesses that are not included on the current Table. 2. Review and Comment on Peltier Ponds
Development (Libel property) because it is in an Adjacent Jurisdiction.
Public Hearings
At the December 3 meeting, the commission will hold public hearings on:
The Table of Allowed Uses Î an update to the table to include uses that are not currently included on
this table.
stnd
Old Mill Estates 1 and 2 Additions
The development security has been reduced to $20,000, pending receipt of approval from the Rice Creek
Watershed District of the final wetland delineation.
rd
Old Mill Estates 3 Addition
rd
The developer of Old Mill Estates is proposing a 3
Addition concept that went before the Planning &
th
Zoning Commission for a ÐConcept ReviewÑ at their March 4, meeting. This subdivision was always a
stnd
part of the discussion when Old Mill Estates (1 and 2 Additions) was platted. However, the developer
needed more time to work out wetland and power line easement issues. With some of those issues more in
hand, the proposed subdivision would break up Lot 8, Block 2, into 4 lots (3 new lots).
Block 7 Property (Downtown)
The prospective developer again met with city staff the week of October 28 and presented some renderings
of potential townhomes. Staff discussed architectural requirements, CDBG grant restrictions and other
logistical issues with the site.
1737 Main Street (Block 3)
Staff received a call from a business owner asking about using Block 3 as a place for a new building to house
their Photography Studio. The business currently rents space in Minneapolis and is looking to build and
own their own structure. Their initial thoughts were to build a single-story commercial building of around
3,500 Î 5,000 square feet. The potential owners were set to look at the site this week and get back to city
staff sometime in the next few weeks with any concerns.
Max Storage
The developers of Max Storage have decided wait until spring to begin construction of Phase II. A sign
permit application has been submitted for a permanent sign to be installed for Caliber Collision, a tenant in
the existing building. A temporary sign hangs where the permanent sign will end up.
2062 Fairview Street Î Design House Greetings
Design House Greetings is considering a second building to expand their current operation in Centerville.
A concept plan was reviewed at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on September 3. A formal
Site Plan Review application is anticipated in the coming weeks.
Kwik Trip
The city council approved a reduction in the developmentÓs security, with the final escrow release coming
at the end of the 2-year warranty period (Dec. Ó24)
Bay View Villas (Waterworks Site)
At the last City Council meeting, final payment of outstanding claims was authorized. A final accounting
of the escrow account is being completed and a refund of any remaining funds will be sent in the coming
weeks.
1687 Westview Street (LaLonde Property)
An application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the guided land use from Central Business
District/Mixed Use to Public/Institutional, along with an application for a subsequent rezoning from M-2
Mixed Use Neighborhood to P-1 Public were jointly submitted by the landowner and school district on
October 15, 2024. A public hearing for these zoning applications was held on November 12, at 6:30 PM at
City Hall. The Planning Commission took public comment and ultimately recommended approval of both
zoning requests. The City Council will review these requests at their December 5 meeting.
The school district will be on hand at the meeting to review their future plans for the property and Centerville
Elementary School as a whole. While the school does have a general plan for the future needs of the school,
it is important to note that the project is only in its concept phase. No funding has been allocated and no
timeline on the improvements have been set.
City staff, including the city attorney and consulting city planner have reviewed the zoning requirements
and believe that the school may be able to purchase the property and construct the improvements without
the proposed zoning changes. However, making these revisions to the Future Land Use Map (Comp Plan)
and Zoning Map provide a more transparent set of documents for future residents to better understand the
planned use of the site. Further, the changes allow for a more orderly process of development for the
property, avoiding issues with a building that would, otherwise, straddle zoning districts, etc.
The school has expressed a willingness to engage with the city to explore the possibility of providing
community space in the new addition and finding other ways to cooperatively utilize the property as a shared
asset. Again, there are no immediate plans for any of these improvements and a dedicated funding source
has not been identified by either the school or the city.
st
7075 21 Avenue S.
st
The cityÓs Zoning Administrator issued a Zoning Letter to a prospective buyer of the property at 7075 21
Ave. S. The requester is a real estate related business, installing signs and sign posts for various relators
around the metro area. The operation would feature 6 full time employees and 4 part-time, seasonal
employees. The business would occupy about 7,500 square feet and may look to lease the remaining 5,000
square feet. In general, the letter supported the use as allowed under the zoning code and/or as a legal non-
conformity, siting the continuance of the existing use. No major changes to the property are proposed at this
time. We understand the business to have a purchase order in place, moving forward with their due diligence
process before finalizing the acquisition.
