GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING CONSIDER ORDINANCE 94-08 AND RESOLUTION 94-19 APPROVING THE REZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE AMENDMENT FOR NEW CENTURY CONSTRUCTION. APRIL 18, 1994 The purpose of this item is to consider a proposal by New Century Construction to rezone and change the land use designation of the site commonly known as the "Prior Lake Bowling Alley." Specifically, the applicant requests that the site be rezoned from B-3, General Commercial to R-3, Multiple Residential and that the Comprehensive Land Use Map be changed from Commercial to High Density Residential Land Use. The site, legally described as: "The east 300 feet of Lot 1, Block 3, Brooksville Center 1st Addition" contains approximately 2.6 acres of land. The property is located southwest of the intersection of Tower Street and Toronto Avenue. The applicant is working with Independent School District 719, in an effort to remodel the existing bowling alley into a kindergarten school. See attached Planning Report dated April 7, 1994 for details related to the application. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider the rezoning application on April 7, 1994 and a separate public hearing to consider the minor Comprehensive Plan amendment on Apdl 12, 1994. There were very few members of the public in attendance even though persons within 350' of the subject site were notified of the proposal. The few members spoke in favor of the rezoning and amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Staff did not receive any negative comments from the government jurisdictions notified of the proposed Land Use amendment. The Planning Commission adopted attached Resolution 94-12PC on April 12, 1994 recommending approval of the Land Use amendment. To implement the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the Planning Commission recommended approval of Ordinance 94-08 rezoning the site. See attached minutes dated April 7 and 12, 1994. ALTERNATIVES: 1.

HORST W. GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING X .YES __NO APRIL 7, 1994 INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this public hearing is to consider an amendment to the Prior Lake Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code for about 2.6 acres of commercial designated land immediately southeast of the intersection of Tower and Toronto Streets. The requested action is to change the land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan from commercial to high density residential and to amend the zoning ordinance from B-3 to R-3 for the same parcel. BACKGROUND: New Century Construction is the owner of the 2.6 acre subject site which is developed with a 22,000 square foot building. The use of the building is a bowling alley, lounge, and sports bar. The site has been zoned commercial and designated commercial dating back to Prior Lake's f'u'st comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance. The site is currently zoned B-3 General Business. This zone represents highway commercial with a minimum lot size of 1 acre. The purpose of the zone is a less restrictive vehicle oriented district with larger space needs and uses that are subregional in nature. Highway exposure for business uses has been critical in the success of businesses in this district. Prior Lake currently has 76.28 acres in the B-3 zone of which 25.78 acres are vacant. All commercial business districts account for 126.58 acres of which 34.9 are vacant. In addition to this total, The Wilds has approximately 36 acres of commercially zoned land. The subject building was constructed in 1974 as a bowling alley and has a current market value of $601,000.00. The current yearly property taxes are $33,049.84. SD.IACENT AND AREA USES: The subject site is a part of the Brooksville Center B-3 commercial zone. This district is bordered by Franklin Trail on the north, STH 13 on the west, and the south line of Section 2. The Brooksville Center is envisioned to be the anchor for this district whereby supporting secondary diversity uses. Several years earlier Prior Lake issued industrial revenue bonds to the shopping center for exterior improvements hoping the center could become more competitive in attracting and retaining businesses. Approximately four years ago, the Center lost the IGA supermarket, its anchor tenant and has continued to struggle ever since. Poor soil conditions and access problems have also compounded problems for this district. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY F_..HPLOYER A high density residential district separates this commercial district from a low density district to the east. The subject site is immediately adjacent to this buffer zone (see attached land use map). Based on proximity and orientation to the existing high density district is adequate rational to redesignate the land use of the site if the City so chooses. Adjacent uses include a 2 acre vacant commercial designated lot to the south with a sizable wetland beyond, two vacant commercial designated lots across Tower Street to the north, and a vacant City owned high density design lot across Toronto Street to the east. The adjacent property to the south (Woodridge Estates) is designated low density and developed with single family residential homes. This area was annexed from Spring Lake Township in 1991. A redesignafion to high density for the subject site would be more respectable and conducive to the adjacent single family homes. New Century Construction has signed a lease-purchase agreement with ISD 719 to convert the subject building from a bowling alley to a kindergarten school. After a seven year lease program, the school district has the option to purchase the building. Public schools are permitted use in R-3 zones. Assuming the rezoning is approved, the City of Prior Lake could be facing a difficult decision if the school district does not exercise its option to purchase the building after the seven year lease. The owner would be faced with a dilemma to retrofit a commercial building to residential or seek rezoning back to commercial for which the building is constructed. It will be considerably difficult to upzone from R-3 to B-3. Regardless of the zoning, the utilities and roads are sufficient to accommodate either district uses. Since 3 out of 4 adjacent lots are vacant and zoned commercial, a school use may pose a future land use conflict based on the characteristics of the permitted uses in the B-3 District. For instance, any uses serving alcohol could not locate in one of these lots because of the 300 feet separation requirement. There are several other uses that would not relate well to a school. However, since these lots are vacant, screening would be mandated which would offset some potential land use conflicts. It is common knowledge the bowling alley has struggled since its construction the cause of which is speculation. Perhaps this example of a failed business is an indication that the commercial districts needs to be modified to residential south of Tower Street. This application could certainly be viewed as a reinvestment opportunity. On the other hand, the City Council has strongly advocated the preservation and creation of commercial and industrial opportunities. The following questions should be discussed prior to acting on these applications: 1) Is the redesignafion of this site a sound planning application? 2) Is there a need for more R-3 designated land? 3) Is this application consistent with community objectives? 4) Will this redesignafion affect the commercial potential of the commercial district'? ~;ummary Findings: 1) The land use redesignation can be justified and is not considered spot zoning. After the annexation of Woodridge Estates the subject site serves as a transition parcel of which a high density residential use is conducive and respectful to the arrangement of land uses in the area. 2) Consideration should be given to also designating the adjacent parcel to the south high density residential. Since this parcel relates both physical and geographically to the subject site. 3) The utilities and road system are of capacity to accommodate either a high density or commercial designation. 4) A redesignation of the subject site land use will not significantly change the ultimate commercial potential of this district nor decrease any opportunity for redevelopment. ,a, LTERNATIVES: 1) Approve the applications by adopting Resolution 94-17 and Ordinance 94-08 rezoning the subject site. 2) Continue the hearings for specific reasons 3) Deny the applications I~ECOMMENDATION: Depends on discussion. RESOLUTION 94-12PC RESOLI. YI'ION OF THE PRIOR LAKE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDING THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP BE AMENDED FROM COMMERCIAL TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL FOR 2.6 ACRES OF LAND IMMEDIATELY SOUTHWEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF TOWER AND TORONTO STREETS. MOTION BY: WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, BOSETH SECONDEDBY: VONHOF that the Prior Lake Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on the 12th day of April, 1994, to act on an application submitted by New Century Construction; and that notice of the hearing on said motion has been duly published and posted in accordance with the applicable Minnesota Statutes; and that it was found the amendment would provide a transitional use between the commercial and residential use to the south; and WHEREAS, that it was found the amendment would not significantly affect any redevelopment potential; and WHEREAS, that it was found the existing utilities and roadways are of capacity to accommodate a high density land designation.

Hcrst Graser presented the information as per planning report of April 7, 1994. The applicant is New Century Construction and the application would be to convert the subject building from a bowling alley to a kindergarten school The purpose of the public hearing is to consider an anaen~t to the Prior Lake Conlaebensive Plan and Zoning Code for 2.6 acres of cocc~rercial designated land immediately southwest of the intersection of Tower and Toronto Streets. The requested action is to change the land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan from commercial to high density residential and to amend the Zoning Ordinance from B-3 to R-3 for the same parcel. The building on the site is 22,000 square feet and the use is a bowling alley, lounge, and sports bar. There have been several owne~ through the years but no one seems to flourish at this business site. Perhaps this example of a failed business is an indication that the coffurercial districts need to be moJified to residential south of Tower Sa'eec A redesignation to high density for the subject site would be more respectable and conducive to the adjacent single family homes. The land use designation can be justified and is not considered spot zoning,. Regardless of the zoning, the utilities and roads axe sufficient to accommodate the uses of either district. Jim Efickson, 4544 Pondview, stated he is in agreement with the change. Les Sonnebend, Superinte~nt of Pdor Lake School Dislrict 719, corrramted that the school district is in real need of space and is considering this a long-term presence. If it is not needed for kindergarten it will be used for Comrmnity Education, Special Education, Early Children, etc. There is room for buses on-site, phyground w~l be expanded, and the fencing upgraded. Bill Schrnokel, School Board Member, reiterated that this will be a long-term commitment on the part of the school and when the remodeling is complete it will look very much like a school and not a bowling alley. Comrmnts from the Commissioners were on; change in zoning change property taxes, question on rezoning when schools are allowed in B-3, transitional buffering, design bus loading site for safety, trend is to keep con~v~'cial intact but this is an exception to the role, traffic increase, no negative financial impact on the City, and all were in agreement with the petition.
