HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem IV PLAN COMMISSION STAFF REPORT MARCH 18, 2025 ITEM IV: PUBLIC HEARING: ZONE CHANGE FROM SUBURBAN MIXED USE DISTRICT (SMU) TO SUBURBAN MIXED USE DISTRICT WITH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY (SMU-PD) AND APPROVAL OF A GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR A DRIVE-THROUGH COFFEE SHOP AT 1120 SOUTH KOELLER STREET GENERAL INFORMATION Owner/Applicant: MilBrew Holdings Action(s) Requested: The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Suburban Mixed Use District (SMU) to Suburban Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (SMU-PD). The applicant also requests approval of a General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan for a drive through-coffee shop. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: Zoning map amendment standards are found in Section 30-381 of the Zoning Ordinance. Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance. Property Location and Background Information: The subject site is a 0.25-acre property located along South Koeller Street, south of West 9th Avenue. The site has an existing restaurant building (Pizza Hut) and associated parking stalls. The surrounding area consists of commercial uses. The 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommends Interstate Commercial use for the subject site.

Koeller St. Comprehensive Plan Comprehensive Plan Land Use Recommendation Land Use 2040 Land Use Recommendation Interstate Commercial ANALYSIS Zone Change The applicant is requesting a zone change from the existing Suburban Mixed Use District (SMU) designation to Suburban Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (SMU-PD) for the subject property. The requested Planned Development Overlay designation is intended to allow for flexibility in the zoning ordinance to accommodate redevelopment of the property. The applicant has submitted plans for a drive-through coffee shop, which will be addressed as a General Development Plan (GDP) and Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) review to follow. Staff is supportive of the proposed rezone as it will assist redevelopment of the relatively small commercial property. Use The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and parking lot on the subject site for development of a 530 sq. ft. drive-through coffee shop (7 Brew) with two-lane drive-through. The proposed drive-through coffee shop use is permitted in the SMU District. There will be no inside seating for the general public as only employees are allowed inside the building. Rezone to SMU-PD Page 2 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. Site Design Site Plan The proposed development will be accessed from a shared parking lot with driveway accesses to the north and south of the site. The applicant has provided an easement document and stated that they have the ability to access the site from the existing shared parking lot. The applicant is requesting Base Standard Modifications (BSM) for reduced front, side, and rear yard setbacks. As proposed, the drive-through lanes will extend into the front yard to within 13.6’ of the South Koeller Street right-of-way line, where code requires a 25’ front yard setback and will have 0’ side and rear yard pavement setbacks, where code requires 5’ side and rear yard pavement setbacks. A Plan Commission workshop was held on December 3, 2024, with Plan Commission voicing support for the proposed use. They recommended increased landscaping to offset the reduced setbacks and to provide screening from the drive-through lane headlights. Page 3 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. Staff does not have concerns with the setback reductions as the limited available space on the site does not make it feasible to meet setback requirements. The reduced front yard setback of 13.6’ is consistent with front setbacks on neighboring sites (approximately 14’ for property to the south and 8.5’ for property to the north). The 0’ side and rear yard setbacks are consistent with the 0’ setbacks for the existing site, abutting shared parking area. The reduced side and rear yard setbacks are also needed to maintain sufficient front yard setback to install appropriate landscape buffering from the public right-of-way. Required Provided Front Setback (west) 25 ft. min. 13.6 ft. (pavement) Side Setback (north) 5 ft. min. 0 ft. (pavement) Side Setback (south) 5 ft. min. 0 ft. (pavement) Rear Setback (east) 5 ft. min. 0 ft. (pavement) Parking Min. 2 spaces Max. 25 spaces 0 spaces Impervious Surface 70% max. 78.1% Code requires a minimum of 1 parking space per 300 sq. ft. of gross floor area for restaurant uses. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow 0 parking spaces on-site, where code requires 2 parking spaces. Staff is supportive of the parking reduction due to the limited available space on the property. The applicant has access to shared parking stalls in the expansive adjoining parking lot and minimal parking is needed for the site as 4-12 employees are anticipated per shift and the service is drive-through only, with no indoor service available to customers. The applicant has stated that 29 stalls inside of the reciprocal access/parking easement are within 100’ of the building entrance and these stalls are some of the farthest away from the entrance of Hobby Lobby. Establishments servicing food or drink have drive-through stacking length requirements of 100 ft. in front of each order station, 55 ft. between the order station and pick-up window, and 25 ft. after the pick-up window. The applicant states that orders are taken via tablets in the drive-through lanes and employees then serve customers on the south side of the building. The proposed site plan is compliant with drive-through stacking requirements. The total proposed impervious surface area for the site exceeds the maximum of 70% for the SMU District. Staff is supportive of the increased impervious surface ratio due to the relatively small size of the lot, which make it difficult for even a minimally sized commercial development to be within the 70% maximum. Page 4 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. The applicant is requesting a reduction of bicycle parking from the code requirement of 4 spaces to 2 spaces. The applicant notes that due to the circulation of the drive-through and provided landscape area, there is limited space on the site to provide the required bicycle parking. Staff does not have concerns with the bicycle parking reduction as the site is vehicle-oriented with a relatively low number of employees. Signage The building elevations show wall signage on the front and side facades. Wall signage will be limited to a maximum of 1 sq. ft. per linear foot of building frontage per the sign ordinance, with each business within the SMU District permitted at least 50 sq. ft. of wall signage regardless of the length of building façade. The proposed signage meets this requirement. Signage will be addressed under a separate building permit. Lighting The provided photometric plan meets minimum lighting levels of 0.4 fc for parking/drive areas. Lighting levels along the public right-of-way are under the maximum of 1.0 fc, but exceed the maximum of 0.5 fc along the north, south, and east property lines. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow increased lighting to 0.9 fc along the north and south property lines and 1.7 fc along the east property line. Staff does not have concerns with the increased lighting level along the these property lines as it is abutting shared parking/drive areas. Light fixtures will be full cutoff fixtures mounted at 18’, which is under the maximum fixture height of 23’ (including 3’ high base) in the SMU District. Storm Water Management The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water management for the site. Final storm water management plans will be reviewed during the Site Plan Review process. Landscaping Landscaping is required for building foundations, paved areas, street frontage, and yards. Page 5 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. Landscape Plan Building Foundation Code requires a minimum of 40 landscaping points per 100 linear feet of building foundation. The applicant is providing the required number of points, however the plantings will not be located within 10’ of the building foundation, as required by code. According to the applicant, it is not possible to plant landscaping around the principal building due to operational requirements for the drive-through and walkways. Staff is supportive of the proposed BSM due to the site limitations and unique use of the building, which requires employee walkways and pavement around the building. The applicant has provided the required points near the refuse enclosure and cooler. Page 6 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. Paved Area The paved area requirement of 50 landscaping points per 10 parking stalls or 10,000 sq. ft. of paved area is being met. The plan is also meeting the requirement that 30% of all points will be devoted to tall trees and 40% will be devoted to shrubs. Street Frontage Code requires 100 points per 100 feet of street frontage. The landscaping ordinance also specifies that 50% of the required points must be devoted to medium trees. The landscaping plan is meeting these requirements. Yards Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The provided yard landscaping points meet this requirement. The plan provides almost triple the required total landscaping points. The applicant has also increased the planting size of arborvitae trees on the street side of the drive lanes, from the minimum 4’ height to 6’. The increased landscaping points and planting size serves to offset requested BSMs and the larger planting size provides increased buffering of headlights from the public right-of-way. Building Facades Commercial building design standards require facades to consist of at least 50% Class I materials. The specific elevations breakdown is as follows: Required Class I Provided Class I Provided Class I including Nichiha Fiber Cement North (side) 50% 10% 88% South (side) 50% 22% 85% East (rear) 50% 0% 85% West (front) 50% 26% 81% The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow Nichiha fiber cement siding as a Class I material to meet the 50% Class I requirement on each facade. The proposed fiber cement siding is considered a Class III material. Although Nichiha fiber cement is considered a class III material, staff feels that Nichiha fiber cement is a high quality, durable material, that is comparable with other class I materials. The Nichiha fiber cement will provide a brick-like appearance for the proposed building, which will be compatible with building facades of the neighboring commercial uses along South Koeller Street. The proposed cooler and refuse enclosures to the north of the building will also be constructed of Nichiha fiber cement to match the building. Page 7 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. Page 8 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2): (a) Advances the purposes of this Chapter as outlined in Section 30-03 because the proposed Planned Development Overlay will allow for further review of development on the site. (b) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan because the underlying zoning designation (SMU) is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation of Interstate Commercial. (c) Maintains the desired overall consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts within the pertinent zoning districts because the SMU zoning designation is consistent the zoning of neighboring properties. (d) Addresses any of the following factors that are not properly addressed on the current Official Zoning Map: (ii) Factors have changed (such as new data, infrastructure, market conditions, development, annexation, or other zoning changes), making the subject property more appropriate for a different zoning district. A redevelopment has been proposed for the site that may need relief from the performance standards of the current zoning ordinance. In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6): (a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of this Chapter because the proposed drive-through coffee shop use is consistent with the SMU zoning designation and Interstate Commercial 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation. (c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships between land uses, land use densities and intensities, and land use impacts in the environs of the subject site because the proposed commercial use is consistent with neighboring commercial uses along South Koeller Street. (g) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development because the drive-through service site design is consistent with drive-through service sites in the surrounding area and the brick- like appearance of the building exterior will be consistent with the appearance of other commercial buildings along South Koeller Street. (i) The proposed Planned Development project will produce significant benefits in terms of environmental design and significant alternative approaches to addressing development performance that relate to and more than compensate for any requested exceptions/base standard modifications variation of any standard or regulation of this Chapter because increased landscaping points and increased planting size will be provided to compensate for BSM requests. Page 9 ITEM IV – Zone Change/GDP/SIP – 1120 S. Koeller St. Staff recommends approval of the zone change, General Development Plan, and Specific Implementation Plan with the findings listed above and the following conditions: 1. Base Standard Modification (BSM) to allow reduced front yard setback to 13.6 ft. 2. BSM to allow reduced rear yard setback to 0’. 3. BSM to allow reduced side yard setback to 0’. 4. BSM to allow reduced off-street parking to 0 parking spaces. 5. BSM to allow reduced bicycle parking to 2 bicycle parking spaces. 6. BSM to allow increased impervious surface ratio to 78.1%. 7. BSM to allow increased lighting level to 0.9 fc at the north and south property lines, and 1.7 fc at the east property line. 8. BSM to allow reduced building foundation landscaping to 0 landscaping points. 9. BSM to allow fiber cement siding (Nichiha) as a Class I building material. 10. Final landscaping, lighting, and signage plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Department of Community Development.
