Description
Minneapolis Zoning & Planning Committee Meeting
A
Good
morning
I
will
call
to
order
the
regular
meeting
of
our
zoning
and
planning
committee.
Today
is
february.
18
2016.,
I'm
lisa
bender.
I
chair
the
committee.
We
have
a
quorum
today
with
council
members
reich
goodman,
andrew
johnson
and
council
president
johnson,
so
we
are
ready
to
do
the
committee's
business.
We
have
just
two
items
on
our
agenda
today,
we'll
start
with
the
consent
agenda,
which
is
item
number
two,
which
is
appointments
to
our
minneapolis
arts.
Commission.
A
I
won't
read
through
each
of
the
folks
who
are
listed
here,
but
I
will
say
that
we
so
appreciate
the
people
who
take
the
time
to
volunteer
and
serve
on
each
of
our
boards
and
commissions,
and
the
minneapolis
arts
commission
has
been
really
active
lately.
They
were
really
involved
in
councilmember
reich
and
glidden's
work
last
year
to
get
dedicated
funding
for
the
arts
and
to
look
at
how
we're
allocating
those
funds.
A
So
we're
really
appreciative
of
the
eight
people
here
who
we
are
appointing
for
terms
that
go
through
actually
a
variety
of
dates
here
that
are
all
each
listed
in
detail
on
the
agenda.
So
I
will
move
item
number
two.
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none
all
those
in
approval?
Please
say
I
I
any
oppose
and
that
carries
so
then
we'll
return
to
item
number
one
which
is
notice
for
a
public
hearing.
We
will
start
with
a
staff
presentation.
B
The
subject
site
is
located
at
the
northeast
corner
of
aldrich
avenue,
north
and
west
broadway
in
the
hawthorne
neighborhood
in
ward
5..
It
is
located
within
a
major
retail
center
and
also
along
a
commercial
corridor
which
is
west
broadway.
There
are
a
range
of
commercial
and
residential
uses
in
the
area,
including
a
liquor
store,
retail,
a
bank
grocery
store,
and
there
are
a
number
of
surface
parking
lots
in
the
area.
B
B
The
sanctuary
covenant
church
is
the
applicant
for
this
proposal,
and
the
proposal
is
to
use
this
site
as
an
interim,
I'm
sorry
as
a
principal
parking
facility
on
an
interim
basis
for
up
to
five
years.
That's
what
they've
requested
staff
is
recommending
three
years,
which
I
will
explain
later
in
the
presentation.
B
They.
The
church
also
owns
the
property
to
the
north,
and
they
have
recently
received
approvals
from
the
planning
commission.
In
january,
in
order
to
build
an
addition
to
the
existing
two-story
building
and
they
would
be
using
that
site
as
the
church,
the
that
the
northern
part
of
the
site
is
zoned
or2,
it
does
not
have
any
off-site
parking,
so
they're
exploring
other
parking
opportunities
within
the
area,
including
agreements
with
other
tenants
and
and
business
owners
throughout
the
area
and
also
this
site
for
temporary
parking.
B
B
Oh
surface
parking
lots
are
not
allowed
or
are
allowed,
I'm
sorry
as
a
conditional
use
in
the
c3s
zoning
district
and
they're
not
expressly
prohibited
in
the
wb
west
broadway
overlay
district,
unlike
the
po
overlay
district,
there's
no
limitation
on
the
amount
of
parking
lot
frontage
facing
the
public
street,
so
it
is
actually
not
prohibited
in
in
wb,
even
though
they,
the
over
the
whole
district,
does
emphasize
minimum
far
minimum
floor
area
and
stories.
B
They
would
be
leaving
the
remainder
of
the
site
along
west
broadway
to
for
a
possible
future
redevelopment,
and
the
pros
parking
facility
would
meet
the
minimum
parking
requirement
for
the
church,
which
is
45
spaces.
The
applicant,
as
I
have
mentioned,
also
for
is
intending
to
pursue
additional
parking
agreements
in
the
area.
B
The
landscape
plan
is
relatively
robust.
The
impervious
surfaces
would
be
reduced
from
70
percent
existing
to
51
percent.
The
proposal
does
not
comply
with
the
minimum
canopy
tree
screening
or
linear
tree
requirements
in
chapter
530
site
plan
review.
But
given
the
temporary
nature
of
the
use,
it
would
not
be
practical
to
require
full
compliance
with
these
standards.
B
So
the
interim
use
permit
looks
at
the
same
six
findings
that
are
required
for
conditional
use
permit.
In
addition,
there
are
five
interim
use
conditions
that
must
be
met
in
order
to
recommend
approval
for
this
one
that
I'd
like
to
focus
on
is
just
the
adopted
city
policies,
so
the
the
site
itself
is
identified
as
mixed
use
in
the
future
land
use
map.
As
I
mentioned,
there
are
two
land
use
features
along
this
site
and
it
belongs
to
the
west
broadway
alive.
B
So,
given,
given
the
articulated
city
policies
which
support
a
minimum,
two-story
commercial,
residential
or
mixed-use
development
on
this
site
as
being
appropriate
for
this
parcel
staff
is
recommending
that
the
city
council
limit
the
interim
use
request
to
normal
no
more
than
three
years
instead
of
the
five
requested
by
the
applicant,
and
so
here
the
list
of
recommended
conditions
of
approval
showing
the
date
as
being
three
years
from
today's
from
the
city
council
action.
A
Oh,
I
do
have
a
question
which
is:
could
you
talk
you
touched
on
this,
but
could
you
talk
more
about
what
what
happens
after
the
interim
period
is
over,
so
they
are
not
allowed
to
leave
this
permanently
as
parking
in
perpetuity.
B
Well,
the
you
know
with
these
conditions,
they
would
not
be
able
to
continue
to
use
that
parking
that
parking
lot
that
site
as
a
parking
lot,
so
it
could
turn
into
an
enforcement
issue.
B
A
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
staff
they're?
Not
so
we
will
open
the
public
hearing
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
applicant
and
then
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
speak.
Please
sign
in
with
the
clerk.
Otherwise,
we'll
ask
each
of
you
to
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
C
C
The
intent
is
eventually
to
to
build
a
building
so
technically
that
interim
use
as
a
principal
parking
structure
would
turn
into
an
accessory
parking
structure
for
that
front
building,
and
then
there
would
be
a
shared
use
agreement
formally
for
the
church
to
use
that
as
their
parking
shared
parking.
It's
it's
all
one
property.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
kind
of
a
split
identity
that
they
owned.
They
would
own
the
entire
parcel.
So
it's
an
agreement
with
themselves,
but
technically
because
they're,
two
zoning
lots.
C
It
makes
this
an
interesting
dialogue.
I've
kind
of
put
a
put
a
plan
here
that
shows,
if
I
can.
C
I'm
covering
up
my
so
this
shows
kind
of
a
the
footprint
of
a
future
building,
which
would
be
four
stories
that
meets
the
minimum,
far
requirement
of
33
000
square
feet,
and
so
we've
we've
left
we're
leaving
76
or
78
feet
between
the
south
property
line
along
broadway
and
the
edge
of
the
curb
for
the
parking.
C
So
the
the
intent
is
to
build
that
shared
parking,
space
kind
of
as
a
first
step
and
then
add
the
building,
as
partnership
with
the
different
community
groups
and
owner
may
speak
to
some
of
some
of
the
partners
that
they're
looking
at
are
considering.
C
We've
also
kind
of
taken
the
time
to
run,
and
this
is
a
little
small
for
you,
but
taking
time
to
run
kind
of
the
shared
parking
calcs
for
upper
three
stories
being
a
apartment
with
a
hundred
percent
discount
for
being
along
a
transit
line,
discount
of
parking
stalls
and
then
the
required
stalls
for
shared
retail
or
office
on
the
main
floor.
C
And
that's
where
we
arrived
at
our
our
50
stalls.
The
peak
time,
given
some
different
scenarios,
has
parking
requirements,
on-site
parking
requirements
shared
between
the
church
and
that
the
other
south
building,
as
proposed
being
between
49
and
53
stalls.
C
That's
with
some
reductions
for
transit
stops
and
bicycles
and
the
other
things
that
make
it
the
more
livable
city
idea.
C
So
the
200
stalls
that
would
be
the
maximum
on-site
parking
that
the
zoning
code
allows
has
been
reduced
to
50
50
for
the
shared
unit.
And
then,
as
may,
ling
had
mentioned
that
we're
taking
additional
five
stalls
as
a
10
reduction
for
some
park
bicycle
parking.
So
that
would
take
it
down
to
45
as
a
minimum
for
the
seating
in
the
church.
C
At
this
time,
and
I
think
there's
some
discussions
with
the
council
member
for
that
area
about
whether
50
or
45
is
the
right
amount
for
there,
and
but
our
intent
was
to
demonstrate
that
the
parking
that's
going
in
now
as
a
principal
structure,
can't
make
sense
under
the
zoning
code
and
meets
all
the
requirements
as
an
accessory
parking
facility
for
the
shared
use
in
the
future.
C
And
I
know
there's
concern
as
anybody
for
for
developing
and
raising
money
and
finding
tenants
for
a
building
and
the
church
has
been
in
the
north
minneapolis
community
for
12
13
years
now
and
has
had
some
history
of
kind
of
development
policies
and
and
is
committed
to
building
a
a
building
along
west
broadway
that
really
supports
and
encourages
the
neighborhood
and
the
neighborhood
businesses.
C
So
their
first
step
is
actually
getting
this
approval
to
to
move
forward
and
then
that
steps
in
to
the
process
of
securing
those
partners
and
securing
the
funding
to
complete
that.
But
we've
we
started
out
as
looking
for
a
conditional
use
permit
and
have
shifted
to
an
interim
use
just
to
thinking
it's
a
more
appropriate
device
for
approval
in
stepping
into
this.
So
hopefully
they
answered
questions.
Thank.
A
D
Madam
chair,
I
would
like
to
move
this
forward
without
recommendation,
and
I
know
council
member
yang
wants
to
continue
to
try
and
work
on
some
of
the
parking
issues.
So
that'll
be
my
motion.
A
Okay
on
that
motion,
or
are
there
any?
Is
there
any
discussion?
I'll
just
add
it?
It's
exciting
to
see
this
long-term
vision
for
this
corridor,
which
we're
all
very
excited
to
see
investment
here.
So
you
know
that's
a
great
vision
to
see.
So
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed,
and
that
carries
that's
our
final
item
and
we
are
adjourned.
