HAMPTON INN Request for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 1.7 acres

3 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 23, 2018 Page 2 Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 1.7 acres Site Plan Review on acres Chris Flagg, Chief Investment Officer for TPI Hospitality, presented his revised application: the subterranean 25 parking stalls initially proposed became prohibitively expensive between the time of initial application and approval in With the assistance of planning staff the applicant reevaluated the site plan, with the result being the building footprint was reduced by 1200 square feet, the hotel made taller (to six stories), and all parking was redesigned to be on-grade. The current plan was more economically feasible. He displayed maps of the site as well as elevation drawings and site renderings of the building, and explained its integration with the surrounding community. Flagg explained the decorative elements that distinguished this project from the Hampton Inn prototype as well as the original design, and offered to answer any questions about the deviations being requested. Klima presented the staff report. The applicant worked with staff to modify the original design. The current site plan showed the development of a six-story, 105- room hotel on the former I-Hop site with an approximate building footprint size of 11,500 square feet. This footprint would be about 1,200 square feet less in size than the 2016 proposal to allow for the additional surface parking and elimination of the below ground parking. The current plan provided for 98 surface parking stalls. Trash and recycling storage would be contained within the primary structure. The existing trail along the lakeside of the property would be reconstructed as needed due to the construction of a retaining wall. The site plan included parking lot design elements such as pedestrian connections and landscape islands. The pedestrian connections within the site were to direct pedestrians out of the parking area and create a connection to the trail on Technology Drive. Pedestrian connections located within the parking lot would be constructed of a differing surface material in order to provide for clear identification of the pedestrian connection. The plan exceeded the landscape parking island requirements (five percent) of City Code to break up the parking area and provide additional impervious surface areas. The landscaping plan for the site exceeded City Code requirements. The applicant was also requesting several PUD waivers related to setbacks, parking lot design, shoreland requirements, and building design elements. They were similar to what had been approved in Sustainability features included native plantings and pollinator habitat, LED lighting, a bike rack, and an electric vehicle charging station. Staff recommended approval of the proposal with the waivers and subject to the conditions and sustainability features outlined in the staff report.

4 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 23, 2018 Page 3 DeSanctis asked if this development, which wraps around northeast side of Idlewild Lake, would allow for public access to the lake for fishing. Bourne replied there would not necessarily be access to the lake itself from this property but the existing trail would be shifted to allow for access via an easement. Kirk asked for and received confirmation the setback waivers were roughly the same as before with the exception of the front having been increased slightly. Kirk asked if the parking was approximately the same and Klima replied the current parking waiver decreased number of stalls initially approved in Staff worked with the applicant to accommodate as much parking as possible and the applicant also analyzed other Hampton Inn sites to determine business needs. Mette asked where the light rail line would be in relation to the development. Klima displayed a map and explained the location of the hotel in relation to the LRT line. Kirk asked the height of the elevation of the light rail line, and Rue replied the light rail elevation was quite a bit higher than the site; there is a retaining wall along Technology Drive but there was sufficient distance to accommodate the slope. Farr asked which shared access easements were on site between the proposed hotel and the curb cuts. Klima displayed the shared driveway and the cross-traffic easement on the map for the Commission. Farr asked if there was a shared parking agreement with the adjacent property owner and this development, and Klima replied there was not. DeSanctis asked if this development would result in the reengineering of the intersection at Technology Drive. Rue replied it would not, but a temporary easement was needed for the light rail line. All would be contained within the public right-of-way with the exception of a small perimeter easement. Farr commented this was a positive enhancement from the 2016 application and expressed appreciation of TPI s efforts. He asked what design guidelines they could expect from Metro Transit for the acoustical glazing. Klima replied she was in contact with the Southwest Light Rail project office to get that specific guidance, and added she expected the language would be included in the development agreement. Freiberg asked for the grade difference at the entrance to the beginning of the footprint, and Rue replied it was relatively flat there, as Technology Drive drops in grade. Weber echoed Farr s appreciation of the architectural improvement over the 2016 application. DeSanctis asked if any structures, such as a ventilation system, would extend above the horizontal profile of the roof. Flagg replied it was possible some equipment would extend but not to a great degree, and it would be screened. He offered to have the architect follow up with City. Klima replied subject to the

5 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 23, 2018 Page 4 proposal s approval City staff would be reviewing the mechanical equipment to ensure it remained code-compliant and screened which would also be a condition of the development agreement. MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by Farr to close the public hearing. Motion carried 7-0. MOTION: Weber moved, seconded by DeSanctis to recommend approval of the proposal based on staff recommendations and the information contained in the staff reported dated April 19, 2018 and the plans stamp-dated April 17, Motion carried 7-0. VIII. PLANNERS REPORT A. COUNCIL WORKSESSION MAY 1, 2018 ASPIRE 2040 Klima reminded the commission members they were invited to the City Council work session Tuesday, May 1, 2018 to discuss the Aspire plan draft update. IX. MEMBERS REPORTS X. CONTINUING BUSINESS XI. XII. NEW BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Weber to adjourn. Motion carried 7-0. Chair Pieper adjourned the meeting at 7:23 p.m.

6 STAFF REPORT TO: FROM: Planning Commission Beth Novak-Krebs, Senior Planner DATE: June 7, 2018 APPLICANT: OWNER: LOCATION: REQUEST: Alliant Engineering, Inc. CSM Equities III, LLC 6810 Shady Oak Road Variance to allow a parking setback of 10 feet along Shady Oak Road BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 6810 Shady Oak Road and it is currently zoned Industrial (I-2). There is an approximately 68,000 square foot building on the property that is currently vacant and the owner is trying to lease it. The existing parking is located on the sides and rear of the building. The main entrances to the building are in front facing Shady Oak Road. The owner has identified the lack of parking near the main entrances as an issue making it difficult to lease the building. Therefore, the owner would like to provide parking in front of the building. However, the parking and building setback is 50 feet and the front of the building sits right at the setback line. Subject Property The applicant has prepared a plan showing how parking could be provided in front of the building. Based on the plan, the edge of the parking is as close as 10 feet from the front property line, which would necessitate approval of the requested variance. The proposed plan includes a retaining wall and landscaping within that 10 foot setback.

7 Staff Report Variance # June 7, 2018 Page 2 Existing Condition EVALUATING VARIANCES AGAINST STATUTORY CRITERIA Local governments must consider each criterion on its own merit and make findings and conclusions based on the following considerations: CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN The requested variance is not consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan. The Plan recommends the improvement of Shady Oak Road to a 3-lane roadway with an 8 foot trail. As proposed, the 10 foot setback would limit the City s ability to effectively design and construct future road improvements. There is a 10 foot utility easement along Proposed Plan for the front property line. If a Parking in Front berm and landscaping were of the Building allowed in this utility easement as proposed, it would create issues for locating utilities within the easement. IN HARMONY WITH THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE The requested variance is not in harmony with the purpose and intent of the ordinance. The requested variance poses limitations on implementing the City s Comprehensive Guide Plan. The ordinance requires parking lot screening and 10 feet does not provide adequate room for a berm and landscaping particularly given that there is a 10 foot utility easement along the front property line. UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES Unique circumstance, meaning the problem is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the current land owner. The property is similar to others in the area. The property can accommodate other options. The proposal to provide parking in front of the building is based on speculation and not on a specific user. The owner has other options. An entrance or entrances could be incorporated into the back of the building so the parking in the rear is more convenient. In addition, the owner could enhance the pedestrian experience for visitors and employees walking to the front entrances.

8 Staff Report Variance # June 7, 2018 Page 3 REASONABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY Another review criteria is that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance. This means that a landowner would like to use the property in a particular way but cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. It does not mean that the land cannot be put to any reasonable use without the variance. Parking is a reasonable use on the property and in front of the building, but not in the proposed layout due to the issues noted in prior criteria. ALTERATION OF THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD Granting the variance will alter the character of the neighborhood. The proposed 10 foot setback is not in character with surrounding properties. The neighboring properties have generous greenspace in front of the buildings or parking lots, which creates a green corridor along Shady Oak Road. The requested 10 foot setback alters the character along the street. STAFF RECOMENDATION Staff recommends denial of the request based on staff report dated June 7, 2018 and the plans stamp dated REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION The Commission may wish to choose from one of the following actions: 1. Approve Final Order # Approve Final Order # with modifications. 3. Continue Variance Request # for additional information. 4. Deny Final Order #

12 STAFF REPORT TO: FROM: Planning Commission Beth Novak-Krebs, Senior Planner DATE: June 7, 2018 SUBJECT: LOCATION: APPPLICANT: OWNER: REQUEST: Culver s Restaurant 970 Prairie Center Drive Epic, LLC Prairieview Retail, LLC Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 13.6 acres Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 13.6 acres Site Plan Review on 13.6 acres Preliminary Plat of two lots into three lots on 13.6 acres BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting approval to build a Culver s Restaurant in the south side of the parking lot at 970 Prairie Center Drive. The Culver s lot is proposed at 1.0 acre, the Bakers Square lot is 0.6 acres and the remainder of the overall site is acres and it is located at the corner of Prairie Center Drive and Plaza Drive. The existing uses on the overall site include the Lunds and Byerly s grocery store and the Prairieview Shopping Center. Bakers Square is located on a lot adjacent to the subject site. The Lunds and Lunds & Byerly s Prairieview Shopping Center Culver s Site New Culver s Location Bakers Square Lunds and Byerly s

13 Staff Report Culver s June 7, 2018 Byerly s store is approximately 57,612 square feet and the remaining shopping center area is approximately 52,500 square feet and includes a variety of retail stores, restaurants, a liquor store, and a coffee shop with a drive-thru. The property is surrounded by office and commercial uses. The proposed Culver s building is approximately 4,700 square feet and will include a drive-thru. The restaurant is relocating from its current location on Technology Drive, due to the SWLRT project. The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat to create a separate lot for the Culver s building. Prairieview Center, LLC will continue to own the land and the applicant will own the building and associated improvements on the lot. The plat also includes the existing Bakers Square lot, but there is no change to the lot. The applicant wants to include it so that it is platted under the same name as the other two lots and provide consistency with regard to titles and legal descriptions. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The property is guided Regional Commercial and it is zoned Regional Service Commercial. The proposal does not require changes to either the Comprehensive Plan or zoning. SITE PLAN The Culver s building will be located in the south end of the parking lot in front of Lunds and Byerly s. The site sits 10+ feet lower than Prairie Center Drive and Plaza Drive. The restaurant will face the grocery store with a drive-thru wrapping around the west and south sides of the building. The site can be accessed from either Prairie Center Drive or Plaza Drive and through the larger parking lot. There will be an outdoor seating area off the northeast corner of the building. The seating area will be enclosed by a decorative fence and a variety of plantings. The trash and recycling area is inside the building with an overhead door for access. 2

14 Staff Report Culver s June 7, 2018 LANDSCAPING PLAN The landscaping plan for Culver s includes 15 caliper inches of trees and shrubs, which meets the requirements. The plan also includes additional shrubs around the building, in the islands and along the drive-thru lane. There are also 9 caliper inches of tree replacement for one significant tree being removed as a result of the project. The plan includes a variety of species including those native to Minnesota. There will be a mix of ornamental grasses and perennials around the outdoor seating area. The site sits below Prairie Center Drive and Plaza Drive with mature landscaping on the slopes down to the parking lot. This landscaping will remain and helps screen the drive-thru from above. SIDEWALKS Currently, there is a sidewalk along the north side of Plaza Drive and a trail along the east side of Prairie Center Drive. The applicant is proposing a sidewalk on the south side of the building that will connect with the sidewalk along Plaza Drive. In addition, the proposed plan includes a pedestrian connection through the parking lot between Culver s and Lunds and Byerly s. The applicant is proposing a pattern that will be stamped into the asphalt. This walkway provides a designated and identifiable area for pedestrians. In a new parking lot, the connection would likely be a sidewalk separate from the drive lanes. However, this is an existing parking lot that does not provide an opportunity to make major changes without reconstructing the entire parking lot. This solution complies with the ordinance requirements. BUILDING ARCHITECTURE The proposed building meets and exceeds the building materials standards of 75/25% Class I and II materials. The majority of the building material is stone veneer, brick veneer and glass with minor amounts of EIFS. South Elevation North Elevation 3

15 Staff Report Culver s June 7, 2018 The building includes façade articulation and roof variation on all sides. In addition there are changes in building materials, colors and textures. The canopies and awnings add another layer of interest. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Stormwater management will be handled on the Culver s lot. The applicant has prepared a Stormwater Management Plan. City staff will continue to work through the details of the plan with the applicant. The Stormwater Management Plan has been submitted to the watershed district. TRAFFIC A traffic study was completed for the proposed development. The proposed Culver s development is expected to generate 606 new trips during an average weekday, 79 new trips during the weekday noon peak hour, 54 new trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour, and 57 trips during the Saturday peak hour. All roadways in the study network are forecast to operate within capacity through 2019, except Prairie Center Drive south of the Plaza Drive intersection which is currently operating at just above its technical planning-level capacity. The Traffic Study recommended an eastbound left turn lane on Plaza Drive where a vehicle enters the driveway between Culver s and Bakers Square. The property owner has agreed to install the left turn lane prior to a certificate of occupancy being issued for Culver s. This proposed improvement is located within Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) right-of-way. Therefore, the improvement must be approved by MnDOT. SIGNS The applicant is proposing wall signs on the building, but is not proposing a free standing sign. The new signs will require approval of a separate sign permit. SUSTAINABLE FEATURES The Culver s project is within walking distance of two Southwest Transit bus stops, which are located on Prairie Center Drive just north of the driveway to Lunds and Byerly s. A bike rack is proposed for the site. The parking lot lights will be LED. The Landscape Plan includes some native plantings. The applicant is providing a connection the sidewalk along Plaza Drive, which connects to a larger trail system. UTILITIES There are private utilities within the existing parking lot and Culver s will be connecting to these existing utilities. PARKING LOT ISLANDS The Culver s lot complies with the requirements for islands in the parking lot. However, the remainder of the existing parking lot does not meet the requirements for islands. Some of the current island areas are just striped with no curb or landscaping, some are curbed with no landscaping, and 4

16 Staff Report Culver s June 7, 2018 some are curbed with trees in them. In addition, there are some rows of parking with more than 20 stalls with no island. In order to bring the existing parking lot into compliance, the applicant is proposing to install curbed islands where there is only striping, add new islands where required and add landscaping to all of the new and existing islands. The plan as proposed exceeds the requirement that 5% of the parking area must be islands. The owner of the property has agreed to install the islands and the landscaping in the islands within 2 years. Staff is supportive of the proposed phasing due to the unique nature of the relocation of Culver s as a result of the SWLRT public project. The Development Agreement will address these improvements, the timing of the improvements and assign a specific date for completion. PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT WAIVERS The purpose of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) as stated in the City Code is to provide for a more creative and efficient approach to the use of land within the City; to allow variety in the types of environment available to people and distribution of overall density of population and intensity of land use where desirable and feasible; and provide for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design. The applicant is requesting the following waivers: 1. Number of Parking Stalls from 638 to 569 The site currently has 628 parking stalls. The current condition provides 5.3 parking stalls per l,000 square feet of retail space plus 46 parking stalls for Bakers Square. Although there are a number of restaurants in the shopping center, these numbers are based on the shopping center as all retail. In these types of shopping centers, the tenant mix is fluid. The market will determine the tenant mix and the demand for parking; therefore, the restaurants within the center were not calculated separately. With the proposed Culvers, the City s requirement for all three lots is 638 parking stalls. As planned, there would be 110,007 square feet of retail and 2 stand -alone restaurants. The zoning ordinance requirement is based on 1 parking stall for every 2.5 or 3 restaurant seats depending on the type of restaurant and 5 parking stalls for every 1,000 square feet of retail space. 5

17 Staff Report Culver s June 7, 2018 Number of Seats Square Footage Restaurant Parking Requirement Retail Parking Requirement (stalls per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area) * * 1/3 seats 1/2.5 seats Culver s Bakers Square Lunds & Byerly s 57, Shopping Center 52, The plan as proposed provides 569 parking stalls. This is approximately 4.3 parking stalls/1,000 square feet of gross floor area for retail and 88 for the two restaurants. This waiver request is consistent with the parking at other shopping centers. The Eden Prairie Center Mall parks at 4.5 stalls per 1,000, the Preserve Village shopping center was recently approved at 4.5 stalls per 1,000 and the Prairie Village Mall Kowalski s is currently parked at 4 stalls per 1,000. There do not appear to be issues with parking at any of these sites. The applicant prepared a parking study to understand the parking demand in the existing parking lot. Based on data collected on two weekdays, the study found the peak parking demand occurred from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM and there were approximately 288 occupied parking stalls during that peak time. Based on the weekend data collection, the peak parking demand occurred from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM and there were approximately 259 occupied parking stalls during that peak time. Considering an existing parking stall count of 628 spaces, the development was 46% occupied during the weekday and 41% occupied during the weekend. 2. Parking Lot Setback from 20 to 0 on the east side, from 35 to 5 on the south side and from 10 to 0 on the north side. The applicant is proposing to create a separate lot for the Culver s building. The proposed north and east lot lines are in the existing parking lot; therefore, there is no setback. This is an existing parking lot and the applicant is not proposing to reconstruct the existing parking lot. In addition, there will be shared parking and access throughout the entire parking lot so a zero foot setback provides for connectivity and maintaining parking stalls. On the south side of the Culver s building, the parking lot gets as close as 5 from the 6

18 Staff Report Culver s June 7, 2018 south property line. The Culver s building is being located into an existing parking lot and the applicant is trying to limit the impact on the existing parking lot; therefore, the site it tight. This is no closer than the existing parking lot is to the property line. 3. Parking Island Minimum Size. City Code requires parking islands to occupy 5% of the parking lot area and be a minimum of 160 square feet in size. One parking island is proposed at less than 160 square feet in size. The parking lot islands for the Culver s project meet the standards. The applicant has agreed to improve the islands in the existing parking lot to meet the standards. Of the 39 parking islands proposed for the overall site, one of those islands is proposed at a size below the 160 square feet. It is an existing island on the property. The site exceeds the overall parking island requirement by 26%. Allowing smaller islands while exceeding the overall area required allows for additional landscape areas to break up the parking field and minimizes impervious surface area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of the following request: 1. Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 13.6 acres 2. Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 13.6 acres 3. Site Plan Review on 13.6 acres 4. Preliminary Plat of two lots into three lots on 13.6 acres This is based on plans stamp dated June 1, 2018, staff report dated June 7, 2018 and the following conditions: 1. Prior to Final Plat approval, the proponent shall A. Submit detailed storm water runoff, utility and erosion control plans for review by the City Engineer and Watershed District. B. Prior to grading permit issuance, the proponent shall install erosion control and tree protection fencing at the grading limits of the property for review and approval by the City Engineer and City Forester. 2. Prior to signature of the Development Agreement, the proponent shall provide an executed copy of a shared access and parking easement and agreement between proposed Lots 1 and Prior to building permit issuance for the property, the proponent shall: A. Provide a tree replacement/landscaping surety equivalent to 150% of the cost of the landscaping plan for review and approval. 7

19 Staff Report Culver s June 7, The following waivers have been granted through the PUD District Review for the property: A. Number of Parking Stalls from 638 to 569 B. Parking Lot Setback from 20 to 0 on the east side, from 35 to 5 on the south side and from 10 to 0 on the north side. C. Parking Island Minimum Size. City Code requires parking islands to occupy 5% of the parking lot area and be a minimum of 160 square feet in size. One existing parking island proposed at less than 160 square feet in size. 5. All signage shall require review and approval of a sign permit. 8
