A similar use, coffee and bagel shop, is a conditional use in the B-5 zoning district. Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use permit, with certain conditions outlined below. List of Exhibits Exhibit A. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. Exhibit D. Exhibit E. Exhibit F. Exhibit G. Exhibit H. Exhibit I. Exhibit J. Application Applicants narrative Floor Plan Elevation Proposed signage Site Plan Sample retail floor plan Sample menus B-5 zoning district regulations Property Owners List Background Saryan Cuisine operates three Patrick s Bakery Cafes in the metro area and proposes a 4 th at 2380 Shadywood Road (the former Snyder s Drugstore). Patrick s bakery café offers bakery products, pastries and chocolates. As in the other locations, Patrick s proposes offering breakfast, lunch and dinner service in the 60 seat dining room. The applicant s narrative, Exhibit B, outlines the proposal. Those interested may find additional information on their website, Improvements to the site include both an internal remodel and external cosmetic changes to the building. The rear third of the building will house offices, ovens, cold storage and utility spaces associated with a commercial kitchen. The middle third will be the production kitchen which will prepare baked goods, pastries and the food for the café and restaurant in the middle of the space. The front of the building, using the existing front door vestibule, will be the dining and retail area. The applicant has provided a sample (Exhibit G) of a similar layout for the Commission s reference. External changes include additional signage and painting of the upper half of the building, illustrated on Exhibits D and E.

Shipping and received activities will occur out of the existing door on the northwest corner of the building. Applicable Regulation: Conditional Use Permit (Section ) The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the proposed location is or will be: 1) Consistent with the community management plan; The Community Management plan (3B-6b) identifies the subject property as a potential mixed use site, suggesting density in the 4-15 units per acre range. The CMP suggests developments such at senior assisted living, townhomes, condominiums, or apartment buildings as appropriate mixed use development. The Council recently denied an application for a nursing type facility at this location. The Planning Commission should consider whether these uses are appropriate, or if the proposed use is consistent with the Plan. 2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; Coffee and bagel retail are a conditional use, with stated stipulations. The Planning Commission and Council should determine if the proposed use is consistent with this undefined use. 3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and storm-water management; This statement is true. 4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; The property is served by municipal water and sanitary sewer. An existing 6 inch water service from Olive Avenue will be retained. Sanitary sewer is provided through a 6 inch pipe also to Olive Avenue. Preliminary estimates suggests the system is more than adequate, but a certified analysis of the sanitary sewer capacity may need to be completed. 5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; The re-use of an existing commercial building should not increase demand on public safety, transportation, or storm-water facilities. 6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is planned to be used in the future; The property to the south is the Culvers restaurant and Holiday gas station; to the north and east are single family residential, and to the west is commercial uses. These uses are not proposed to be changed in the future, though the Comprehensive Plan suggests the residential property to the north might be appropriate for mixed use development. 7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; Minor modifications to the existing structure, and the retention of the commercial character of the site will not detrimentally impact the character of the neighborhood. 8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; This statement is true. 9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses: No evidence has been presented to suggest otherwise. 10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; The use will be contained indoors. Any

3 FILE # August 15, 2016 Page 3 of 4 future exterior patio, if located to the south and west of the building, would not impact adjacent residential neighborhoods and would require site plan approval. 11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes, dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; No evidence has been presented to suggest otherwise. 12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or unsafe access; There is no link from the proposed site to the adjacent residential streets other that the existing pedestrian trail which provides access to the public sidewalk system, the trail, businesses, and the bus system. These pedestrian connections are generally desirable in strong neighborhoods and communities. 13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area and to minimize environmental impact; Does not apply. 14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; no additional lighting is proposed, and 15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This use is a common use in a commercial district and is not expected to have a negative impact. A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally, a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official controls to change the status of conditional uses. Analysis Coffee and bagel retail are a conditional use permit in the B-5 zoning district, with 4 conditions. a. No more than 50 percent of the gross floor area of any single building shall be devoted to coffee and/or bagel retail store uses. 32.7% of the building is devoted to food/beverage retail uses. b. No individual coffee or bagel retail store use shall exceed 2,000 square feet of gross floor area. A combined coffee and bagel retail store use shall not exceed 4,000 square feet of gross floor area. The combined area of the food/ beverage retail is 3,900 square feet. c. The number of incremental parking spaces required for the coffee and/or bagel retail store use shall be calculated using the parking requirement standard for restaurant uses. Restaurant requires 1 space per 80 sq. ft. of public floor area, or 49 spaces (3900/80=48.75). The property provides 60 spaces, exceeding the requirement. The applicant shall demonstrate that the total parking needs for the site will be met. A portion of the parking area is subject to a cross parking easement with the property now occupied by Culvers. In practice, and based on observations, Culver s customers frequently use spaces on the subject property. d. An individual coffee or bagel retail store use shall be limited to a maximum of 45 seats. A combined coffee and bagel retail store use shall be limited to a maximum of 60 seats. The combined number of seats proposed is 60. The proposed use appears to meet the standards imposed on bagel and coffee stores. Coffee and bagel retail are not defined in the zoning ordinance, though this description is assumed to be similar to Caribou/ Starbucks/ coffee houses and Bruegger s bagel shops, all of which are open

4 FILE # August 15, 2016 Page 4 of 4 throughout the day and offer food for dine in. Restaurants are defined, but are not permitted uses in the B-5 zoning district. The applicants propose a business that provides baked goods and drinks with an expanded menu throughout the day. The applicants intend to apply for a liquor license to offer beer and wine to the lunch and dinner customers. By definition, businesses offering liquor are a class II restaurant. An ordinance amendment may be necessary for the city to be able to issue a liquor license. The menus provided (Exhibit H) are intended to give the Commission an understanding of the scope of food offerings. The menus will change from time to time. The proposed business is a combination of many uses: production kitchen, catering establishment, pastry shop, and small restaurant. The Planning Commission should discuss whether the use is appropriate in the proposed location. Restaurants are restricted to certain districts to alleviate potential impacts due to noise (late hours) and traffic. Commercial zones are intended to generate and capture traffic, the proposed use is not outside the norm. Staff suggests a limitation on hours to alleviate potential noise concerns. It is acknowledged that the building will be used during the evening for baking operations. Public Comments To date (August 10, 2016), no public comments have been received for or against the proposal. Issues for Consideration 1. Does the Planning Commission find the use appropriate for the property? 2. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose additional conditions in order to mitigate the impacts created by the granting of the requested Conditional Use Permit? 3. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? Recommendation The proposed use, a bakery and coffee shop with an expanded food menu, while observing the constraints imposed on coffee/ bagel shops, appears to be appropriate at the proposed location. Should the Commission agree, staff would recommend the following conditions: The drive thru window shall not be used. The retail space may not be open past the hours of 10 pm.

24 File # PC Exhibit [Total Pages I 29] DIVISION B-5 LIMITED NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT [12] Sec Purpose.

The district shall have immediate access to adequate highways and public sanitary sewer. Because of the location of the B-5 district as contemplated in the area known as Navarre in the city, the uses are limited in order to limit the hard cover in that area and to limit the future generation of traffic for that property in that use district, since there is already a traffic problem in Navarre.
