(Jim & Teresa Zakrzewski, 2340 Montana Avenue East) PC Packet Page Number4 of 68 E1 Mymotherhasthe living unit below Renee McCoy, and shehasnoproblem with Renee, receiving Home occupation license. (Marshall Tator ) Hello, this is in response toa request for input on the Home Occupation License request for Renee McCoy at 2328 MontanaAvenueEast. I'm a nearby neighbor from the condo property where thePilates classes would be offered. I think the primary concerns regarding home businesses are potential disruption to the neighborhood setting and a negative impact on adjacentneighbors.Based on the detailed application, none of theseconcerns are apparent. As there is no signage, no one would know if classes wereheld in the building. Street parking will not be impacted, nor parking for adjacent condo owners. Clearly, noise will not be an issue either for this type of limited activity. I believe the licenseshould be granted to theapplicant. (Carl Schwartz, 2384 Montana Avenue East) Asa neighbor and acquaintance of Renee McCoy (2328 Montana Ave. E), I am confident that she will comply with COVID protocol, as wellascontrolaccess to the shared residence anddriveway at this address. Sheis a responsible and good neighbor, and I support her in this endeavor.

PC Packet Page Number30 of 68 E2 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Meeting Date January 19, 2021 REPORT TO: Melinda Coleman, City Manager REPORT FROM: Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director PRESENTER:Michael Martin, AICP, Assistant Community Development Director AGENDA ITEM: Saint John’s Hospital, 1575 Beam Avenue East a. Conditional Use Permit Amendment Resolution Action Requested:MotionDiscussionPublic Hearing Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation Policy Issue: Kevin Martin of Fairview is proposing to build a 21,000-square-foot vertical building expansion to Saint John’s Hospital located at 1575 Beam Avenue East. This planned project would expand the third floor of the facility and does not increase the overall building footprint. To move forward with this project, the applicant needs city council approval of a conditional use permit amendment and design review. Recommended Action: a. Motion to approve a resolution for a conditional use permit amendment which approves a 21,000-square-foot vertical building expansion to be constructed at 1575 Beam Avenue East. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0. Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: Financial Sustainability Integrated Communication Targeted Redevelopment Operational Effectiveness Community Inclusiveness Infrastructure & Asset Mgmt. The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on January 8, 2021. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is March 9, 2021. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. Background: The applicant seeks to vertically expand the existing Saint John’s Hospital to provide cardiac catheterization capability to the facility adjacent to the surgery department on level two. When PC Packet Page Number31 of 68 E2 designed, the existing facility structure was designed to accommodate vertical growth. The expansion would add approximately 21,000-square-feet to the existing six-story, 303,000-square- foot facility. As a vertical expansion, there is no impact to the existing site design, utilities or landscaping. Conditional Use Permit Amendment Staff finds no problem with the proposed expansion from a use standpoint. The proposed expansion complies with the findings required for approval of a CUP. Design Review Building Elevations The proposed building addition will be constructed of metal panels that provide color compatibility with the existing building but also provide contrast in terms of building materials. All design elements would be attractive and compatible with the existing architecture of the neighborhood. Parking City ordinance does not have a specific parking requirement for hospitals. The city has approved parking plans for the campus via previous conditional use permit approvals. The hospital campus currently has 1,252 parking spaces. Given how this proposed building expansion is intended to be used staff does not expect a significant increase in parking demand to be generated due to this project. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to maintain at least 1,252 parking spaces via this approval process. Department Comments Engineering, Environmental, Building and Public Safety Departments have reviewed and do not have any additional comments. Board and Commission Review January 19, 2021: The community design review board will review this project. January 19, 2021: The planning commission will hold a public hearing and review this project. Citizen Comments Staff surveyed the 11 surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed project area for their opinion about this proposal. Staff did not receive any replies.

When designed, the existing facility structure was designed to accommodate vertical growth. The expansion would add approximately 21,000 SF to the existing 6-storey, 303,000 SF facility. As a vertical expansion, there is no impact to the existing site design, utilities, or landscaping. Application Submittal 1. Drawings See Attached Plans, Elevations 2. Narrative Project Description o This project is a 1-storey vertical expansion on level 2 at the southwest corner of the existing St. John’s Hospital. The expansion would add approximately 21,000 SF to the existing 6-storey, 303,000 SF facility adjacent to the existing surgery department. The project includes 5 Labs, 14 prep/recovery rooms, and miscellaneous support space. The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed and operated to be in conformity with the City’s comprehensive plan and Code of Ordinances. o The addition will be in compliance with all applicable local building codes and all requirements of the State of Minnesota’s Department of Public Health. The project will maintain the existing operations of the Hospital’s original Conditional Use Permit. The scale of the addition aligns with the existing facility’s massing and aesthetics and is located over a portion of the structure originally designed to accept a 2-storey addition. The proposed project includes 1-storey with no accommodations for future vertical growth. The use would not change the existing or planned character of the surrounding area. o The project is located at an intersection comprised primarily of commercial and medical developments and does not change the character of the surrounding area. The proposed exterior finish materials, color, and aesthetic of the expansion compliments the materials and colors of the existing facility. The use would not depreciate property values. o The use of this project aligns with the use of the existing hospital and will not depreciate property values. The expanded service line of cardiac cath at St. John’s will improve the neighborhood’s access to this line of medical care, previously not provided. The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment or methods of operation that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental, disturbing, or cause a nuisance to any person or property, because of excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution, drainage water run-off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical interference or other nuisances. o This addition is vertical in nature and will have no impact to the surrounding environment and will not increase storm water run-off. The selection of earth-toned PC Packet Page Number41 of 68 E2, Attachment 6 metal panel on the façade blends into the existing facility and does not create glare. The aesthetic of the expansion blends with the existing facility. The operations of this added amenity to the Hospital will be fully contained inside the space and will have no impacts to its surroundings. The use would generate only minimal vehicular traffic on local streets and would not create traffic congestion or unsafe access on existing or proposed streets. o The associated use of this facility will have minimal impact to the existing traffic and surrounding streets. The use would be served by adequate public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, water and sewer systems, schools and parks. o The existing services were originally sized for future growth, therefore there are no impacts anticipated to public facilities and services. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or services. o This use does not create additional costs for public facilities or services. The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site’s natural and scenic features into the development design. o The overall intention of the earth-toned metal panel cladding is to blend into the natural landscape around the hospital and with the adjacent wetland. The selected materials compliment the masonry of the existing facility while lightening the heaviness of the mass, creating a cohesive façade. Bands of high windows further soften the exterior design while simultaneously providing daylight to the interiors and maintaining patient privacy. The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects. o The use causes no adverse environmental effects. The City Council may waive any of the above requirements of a public building or utility structure, provided the Council shall first make a determination that the balancing of public interest between governmental units of the state would be best served by such waiver. o This project seeks a waiver related to the portions of this application not applicable to a vertical addition. 3.

December 14, 2020. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision is February 12, 2021. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city is allowed to take an additional 60 days if necessary to complete the review. Background: Gary Lenart on behalf of theMaplewood Moose Lodge and Family Center is requesting land use approvals to allow for the group to purchase the property located at 1832 Gervais Court East and begin operating a social club in the existing building. This property and the property to the west (Saints North Family Skate Center) were part of a senior housing development approved in 2020, however that project is no longer moving forward. exterior or interior renovations, the building would be repurposed for the social club with minor interior modifications and a planned future parking lot expansion on the south side of the building. Comprehensive Plan Amendment TheComprehensive Plan was amended when the senior housing project was approved, to allow for thehigh-density residential project. Now that the project is not moving forward, staff is recommending that the future land use be changed back to what the 2040 plan had guided the land for originally, which is Employment. This designation would allow for the property to be rezoned and used for the lodge and family center. Rezoning The property is currently zoned Limited Business Commercial, which does not permit the proposed type of use. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to M1, Light Manufacturing, which allows for all uses permitted and conditional in the BC, Business Commercial district. A place of amusement, recreation or assembly is specifically listed as a conditional use in the district. Therefore with the rezoning approved, the lodge would need to then apply for a Conditional Use Permit to operate. The rezoning request would align with the neighboring properties to the west, which are also located in the M1, Light Manufacturing district. Conditional Use Permit The proposed use requires a Conditional Use Permit in the M1, Light Manufacturing district. Specific conditions have been added to the attached resolution to ensure the proposed use complies with the required findings of City Ordinance. A future parking lot expansion as indicated in City Code Section 44-17 requires that, places of public assemblage provide a minimum of one off street parking space for every four seats. Staff has added a condition requiring the applicant to submit a seating chart and parking plan to staff for review. Lastly, the applicant indicated a desire to install outdoor horseshoe pits on the property. If the applicant would like to proceed with installing any exterior recreational areas, further review by the City is required. Staff Review Public Safety The Fire Department reviewed the proposal and will require the building to meet any applicable fire and safety codes. Engineering PC Packet Page Number52 of 68 E3 The Engineering Department reviewed the proposal and has provided a report detailing the requirements dated December 30, 2020 (attached). Environmental Health Environmental Health Official reviewed the proposal and determined that the applicant will need to apply for an annual food permit and go through the plan review process associated with the permit prior to operation. Board and Commission Review The current proposal does not require review by the Community Design Review Board. However, if the applicant proposes future modifications to the site or the building, those changes would be subject to review by the City. Theland use proposal (Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Conditional Use Permit) requires a public hearing at the Planning Commission. All three land use requests will go to the City Council for final approval. Citizen Comments Staff surveyed the surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the proposed site for their opinion about this proposal. Staff did not receive comments or feedback regarding the proposal from the adjacent property owners.
