Today,
I'm
going
to
read
through
the
items
on
the
agenda
and
state
whether
they
are
slated
for
consent
or
discussion
consent
items
will
be
passed
by
the
board
without
discussion
and
we'll
be
adopting
the
staff
recommendation
for
those
items,
items
that
are
on
the
discussion
agenda.
We
will
discuss
and
and
vote
on.
So
if
you
are
in
favor
of
the
staff
recommendation,
you
do
not
need
to
do
anything
if
you
would
like
to
comment
on
an
item,
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
put
it
on
the
discussion
agenda.
A
So
the
first
item
is

and
1025
Portland

A
A
So

all
right.
Seeing

consent
agenda.
C
A
A
D
D
Got
it
sorry,
you
got
a
bad
leg:
okay
afternoon,
commissioners
I'm
Hilary,
Dvorak
I'm,
filling
in
for
mailing
Smith,
who
is
not
able
to
join
us
this
evening.
This
is
an
application
for
10,
11
and
1025
Portland
Avenue
the
site
is
zoned
R6,
which
is
residential.
It's
in
the
Downtown
parking
overlay
and
then
also
in
the
Transit
30
overlay
District.
D
D
The
existing
building
contains
a
community
residential
facility
with
59
beds.
The
applicant,
who
is
RS
Eden,
is
proposing
to
convert
10
of
those
existing
59
beds
to
a
Board
and
Care
home
use
to
allow
a
clinically
monitored
withdrawal
Management
program,
specifically
for
those
10
beds,
because
the
zoning
code
does
not
contain
a
specific
use
for
that.
This
type
of
program,
the
zoning
administrator,
did
a
substantially
similar
use
determination
in
September
of
22..
D
At
that
time,
the
use
was
considered
to
be
a
hospital,
as
you
all
may
recall,
from
some
of
our
previous
meetings,
so
the
applicant
submit
a
land
use
applications
to
rezone
the
parcels
conditional
use
permit
for
Hospital
variances
related
to
that
use.
However,
that
project
was
continued
to
the
January,
9th
and
January
23rd
Planning
Commission
meetings
to
gather
additional
information.
D
D
So
the
staff
recommendation
is
recommending
approval
of
the
application
with
conditions.
Two
conditions
of
approval
related
to
screening
of
the
parking
and
trash
enclosures
staff
recommends
that
the
Board
and
Care
home
you
shall
be
limited
to
a
maximum
of
10
beds
in
the
expansion
of
the
use
would
require
conditional
use
per
Amendment
and
another
public
hearing
staff
has
received
multiple
letters
of
support
for
this
application,
including
a
letter
of
support
from
Elliott
Park.
Those
letters
are
in
your
packet
or
were
emailed
to
you
today
and
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
F
F
A
G
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
Paul
Freeman
I
reside
at
1008
Portland
Avenue,
which
is
in
the
Grant
Park
Condos
across
the
street,
from
the
property
in
question,
so
I
oppose
the
proposed
permit.
This
outcome
can
only
be
achieved
by
several
legal
contortions
and
novel
interpretations.
First,
Eden
house
must
already
operate
with
a
conditional
use
permit
because
its
stated
activities
don't
fit
within
the
R6
designation.
According
to
the
definition
in
the
Minneapolis
zoning
ordinance.
G
G
Nothing
in
the
staff
report
indicates
that
the
city
would
be
interested
in
denying
further
petitions
for
exemptions,
we're
concerned
about
lack
of
transparency
from
RS
Eden
regarding
their
long-term
plan.
You
know,
neighbors
didn't
know
about
this.
The
Planning
Commission
Now
did
the
city
council
know
we're
looking
for
RS
Eden
to
publicly
publicly
commit
to
an
open
and
collaborative
effort.
G
The
cped
analysis
is
a
piece
of
advocacy.
A
real
analysis
should
start
from
a
point
of
viewpoint,
neutrality
and
study,
possible
impacts
from
all
sides.
It
should
study
and
document
the
Minneapolis
2040
goals
that
are
not
upheld
by
a
proposal
such
as
this,
rather
than
focusing
solely
on
the
planks
of
that
plan
that
are
upheld.
This
is
what
citizens
expect
from
this
commission
to
hold
applicants
to
that
high
standard
and
that's
what
I'm
asking
today.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
B
A
H
Yeah
I'll
just
sort
of
summarize
my
view
of
this
project
over
the
course
of
the
last
several
months,
so
I
appreciate
the
the
number
of
different
residents
that
have
come
to
speak
both
in
favor
and
against
this
proposed
project.
I
think
you
know
having
a
position
in
health
care.
I
think
that
we
are
in
a
crisis
when
it
comes
to
the
availability
of
these
types
of
beds
across
the
Twin,
Cities
and
I
think
that
I
I
commend
organizations
that
are
trying
to
find
innovative
ways
to
do
that.
I.
B
A
H
A
D
At
the
last
meeting,
thank
you,
the
Satori
Senior
Housing
Development
on
Bryant
and
Broadway
north
in
all
of
the
Motions
of
going
from
a
denial
to
an
approval
with
the
findings.
Staff
did
not
show
the
Planning
Commission
conditions
of
approval
that
had
been
prepared
for
the
site
plan
review
application
in
the
case
of
the
event
that
you
did
overturn
the
staff
recommendation.
So
we
had
had
those
prepared,
I've
spoken
with
the
city
attorney's
office.
D
D
It's
really
more
about
combining
the
properties
and
just
when
approvals
are
valid
for
it's
just
kind
of
solidifying,
some
of
those
things
and
that
you
know
we
sign
off
on
final
plans.
So
we're
asking
you
to
not
open
the
item,
because
this
was
not
noticed
for
a
public
hearing,
but
we
were
asking
you
to
approve
re-approve
the
approval
of
the
site
plan
with
the
conditions,
if
that
makes
sense.
Okay,.
D
H
D
D
A
B
A
A
H
D
Email
or
an
email
came
out
late
Friday
and
we
have
extended
the
public
comment
period
for
the
land
use
free
zoning
study,
the
new
date
for
the
Planning
Commission
public
hearing
with
the
Planning
Commission
is
scheduled
for
April
24th.
There
will
be
items
related
to
the
land
use
free
zoning
study
at
Future
Cal
meetings
before
April
24th.
D
D
I
think
the
best
thing
to
do
is
to
cancel
the
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
for
this
Thursday.
Both
items
can
be
dealt
with
at
a
future
meeting
either
at
Planning
Commission,
which
the
land
sale.
We
will
need
to
deal
with
as
part
of
the
public
hearing
on
March
6th.
It
will
just
not
have
a
cow
meeting.
It
will
just
go
right
to
Planning
Commission.
That
is
fine.
D
The
we
will
need
to
discuss
the
designation
study,
though
at
the
ninth,
the
March
9th
meeting
for
Committee
of
the
whole
in
advance
of
a
March
14th
HPC
meeting
so
I'm
getting
all
yeses
from
you
we're
going
to
cancel
the
meeting
on
Thursday.
Given
the
weather,
we
will
figure
out
how
how
each
of
you,
how
you
all
see
both
items
that
are
on
there
so
they'll
be
good.
Then
we
can
just
all
not
worry
about
it.
D
I
know
for
sure
my
child
is
Minneapolis,
has
gone
online
for
school,
so
I'll
be
home
with
her
for
three
days,
doing
e-learning,
which
will
end
at
10,
A.M,
I
bet
and
Alyssa.
You
and
I
were
going
to
talk
tonight.
I,
don't
know
if
we
want
to
tonight
with
the
weather
if
we're
going
to
get
home,
but
you
guys
did
mention
a
retreat
at
our
last
Planning
Commission
meeting
I
did
have
a
chance
to
talk
with
our
planning
director
Meg
about
that.
D
D
B
D
D
I
know
that
commissioner
alperu
had
suggested
going
over
like
making
findings,
and
we
can
do
that
I,
don't
having
done
the
CPC
orientation
now
for
the
first
time
in
many
many
years
I.
We
don't
want
to
do
that
with
you
guys,
as
a
group
I
think
there
are
maybe
Snippets
of
it
that
we
would
be
worth
talking
about
again,
but
the
whole
thing
is
not
we're
not
going
to
spend
the
time
doing
all
of
that
I'll
just
have
you
guys
read
it
again,
so
we'll
be
looking
for
specific
topics.
D
D
Those
have
a
financial
price
tag
associated
with
them,
so
that
we
do
need
to
discuss
that
internally
as
a
department,
but
there
are
some
other
things
that
I
think
we
can
look
at
for
different
kinds
of
training.
So
we're
not
just
talking
with
you
or
to
you
for
hours
and
not
that
that's
I
think
we
should
do
both
I
actually
think
we
need
the
retreat
and
I
think
we
should
do
some
other
kinds
of
trainings.
D
D
A
D
Only
other
thing,
I
would
note,
is
that
I
am
going
to
be
out
of
the
country
March
11th
through
the
28th,
so
Andrew
friends,
there's
one
meeting
March
20th
Andrew
will
be
filling
in
for
me
and
now
remind
you
at
our
next
meeting
on
the
6th
which
I'll
be
here
for,
but
just
so
you
guys
know
you
might
start
to
see
some
things,
I'll
copy
him
or
okay.
You
might
just
start
sending
things
to
you
guys
too.
So
that's
where
we're
at.
D
A
E
They
meet
with
constituents,
help
solve
problems,
find
Opportunities
to
improve
how
government
works
and
support
local
initiatives.
They
take
part
in
community
meetings
and
other
activities
and
rewards
engaging
with
residents
to
address
challenges
and
solve
problems.
The
ideas
and
feedback
that
they
receive
can
result
in
new
laws
or
changes
in
city
services
and
programs.
