Public Hearin� - Consideration of a request for Variance to Chapter 4.5 Si�ns for a fortv (40) foot pvlon si�n Applicant: Scenic Sign Steve Grittman explained that the variance request at 112 Thomas Circle (Twin City Staffing) as indicated in the staff report. He noted that the neighboring business — Morton Builder's sign obscured their sign heading west. Grittman explained that the current sign is 30 feet and located in the Freeway Bonus Overlay District which allows pylon signs to be 32 feet in height. The applicant was seeking an eight foot variance or ten feet higher than the existing. Grittman reviewed the statutory obligations for approving variances such as identifying practical difficulties to the use of the property or conditions. Staff recommended denial of the variance request and identified alternative opportunities for the sign that would not require a variance. Examples include raising the sign two feet to code, relocating the sign further to the west or applying wall signs. Planning Commission Minutes — Febri�ar�� 5, 2019 Page 1 � 4 John Alstad asked if the Morton Builder's sign could be lowered. Grittman confirmed if the property owner agreed, but not something that the City could impose on them. Sam Murdoff asked if the Morton Builder's sign was in constructed first. Grittman believed so. Charlotte Gabler asked if MnDOT would have to review the sign. Grittman declined and stated that the sign was on-site and would not require review. Brad Fyle asked if Morton Buildings sign was legal. Grittman believed so. Signs that were approved through a PUD were discussed. Alstad asked how long the Twin City Staffing sign has been in place. Ron Hackenmueller indicated this year. Brad Fyle opened the public hearing. John DeZurik, Scenic Sign, Lisa Sefras, Twin City Staffing Mike Miner, Twin City Staffing, introduced themselves. DeZurik summarized that they looked at alternatives for location of the sign, but felt the current location was practical. He requested that the sign be allowed to be above Morton Builder's for readability and the cost the business has spent on the sign already. Sefras indicated that Morton Builder's submitted a letter indicating that they were supportive of the Twin City Staffing sign being raised. She indicated that the Morton Builder's sign is also blocked if you are heading east. Sefras also indicated the difficulty of moving the sign due to a large drainage and utility easement that exists on the north side of the lot. Sefras indicated that they have space that is leasable and they would like to preserve the wall sign space for a possible tenant. Sefras read a letter that was submitted by the possible tenant (Twin Star Equipment) in support of the variance request. She identified other existing signs that are larger than Twin City Staffing sign. Mike Miner indicated the unique configuration of the lot. Brad Fyle asked if there were obstructions on the west side of their lot. The applicants confirmed that there were trees. Katie Peterson asked what the height of the sign would need to be to be above Morton Builders sign. The applicants indicated that an additional six to ten feet would be requested. Sam Murdoff questioned why the location of the sign was not better evaluated by the applicant before construction. Planning Commission Minutes — Febri�ar�� 5, 2019 Page 2 � 4 Simpson asked if the current sign has caused a hardship to the business. Miner indicated that they work with fifteen different businesses in Monticello and believe they could expand their business with the additional height of the building. Simpson also asked when applicants come into their business, if they are asked how they found out about the j ob opportunities. Miner indicated that since they have only been in Monticello a month, that the number was not representative. Murdoff asked about the drainage and utility easement. The Planning Commission continued to discuss the item. Hearing no further comments, the public hearing was closed. SAM MURDOFF MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. PG2019-007, DENYING THE VARIANCE FOR SIGN HEIGHT, BASED ON THE FINDINGS 1N SAID RESOLUTION, AND AS MAY BE OTHERWISE STATED BY THE COMMISSION/BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC HEARING. JOHN ALSTAD SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. B. Public Hearin� - Consideration of a request for amendment to Monticello Zonin� Ordinance Chapter 5 and Chapter 8, Section 4 related to use, standards and definitions for event centers, places of public assemblv, personal services, and commercial recreation - indoor Applicant: Citv of Monticello Angela Schumann asked that the Planning Commission continue the Public Hearing to the March meeting and table action. She indicated that staff would like to review any proposed ordinance changes with the City Attorney. Charlotte Gabler asked if staff would also review the proposed ordinance in regards to the newly approved Central Community District standards. Schumann confirmed. SAM MURDOFF MOVED TO TABLE ACTION ON THE ITEM AND CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THE MARCH STH, 2019 REGULAR MEETING. KATIE PETERSON SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED, 5-0. 3. Re�ular A�enda A. Consideration of a review of the Special Use Overlav District Steve Grittman provided the review of the Special Use Overlay District. He noted the importance of reviewing the district annually. Staff did not recommend any changes to the district as a result of the 2018/2019 analysis Planning Commission Minutes — Febri�ar�� 5, 2019 Page 3 � 4 B. Consideration of an update on the 2040 Monticello Comprehensive Plan Angela Schumann indicated that she was requesting the Planning Commission's feedback on the draft version of the Request for Proposal (RFP) for an updated 2040 Monticello Comprehensive Plan. Schumann indicated that the last Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2008. Schumann indicated the need for an updated comprehensive plan due to future decisions that will greatly affect or change the community. Staff proposed a two phase process for the update. The first phase would include a future based scenario effort. Schumann indicated that community and stakeholder engagement would be critical for the first phase. The second phase of the plan would include traditional comprehensive planning. The new plan would revisit each of the chapters of the existing plan, but would add a chapter titled Community Identity & Culture. Schumann explained the importance of the updated comprehensive plan for guiding the city especially in their Strategic Plan. The RFP was provided in the agenda packet. The plan was expected to be completed by 2020. Commissioner Murdoff noted that the timeline included might be optimistic. Schumann concurred. C. Consideration of the Communitv Development Directors Report Angela Schumann explained the Community Development Directors Report as indicated in the agenda. Schumann provided two additional items to the report. New Government Training Services (GTS) classes the Planning Commission may be interested in are available. Staff also received a notice from MnDOT regarding the I-94 expansion proj ect that would be occurring in the next year. An EAW would need to be completed and Planning Commissioners were requested to send any comments to staff. 4. Added Items Bri��s Rivertown Suites — The developer was expecting to begin building but ran into ground water. Construction is anticipated to begin in the spring again. 5.

Continued Public Hearin� - Consideration of a request for amendment to Monticello Zoning Ordinance Chapter 5 and Chapter 8, Section 4 related to use, standards and definitions for event centers, places of public assemblv, personal services, and commercial recreation — indoor. Applicant: Citv of Monticello (NAC) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Staff have prepared draft ordinance language relating to Event Centers as a specific use classification within the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission requested this language as an amendment consideration to better respond to related inquiries and provide use direction to interested developers. Staff have prepared initial language and analysis for the proposed ordinance amendment for Planning Commission review. Staff have also had an opportunity to discuss the draft amendment with the City's legal counsel. At this time, the proposed amendment is ready for Commission discussion and hearing. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Motion to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance related to use, standards and definitions for event centers, places of public assembly, personal services, and commercial recreation — indoor, based on a finding that found that the proposed amendments will benefit the intent of the regulations and the process for application. 2. Motion to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance related to use, standards and definitions for event centers, places of public assembly, personal services, and commercial recreation — indoor with changes to the language as recommended by the Commission and based on a finding that found that the proposed amendments will benefit the intent of the regulations and the process for application.. Motion to recommend denial of the proposed ordinance related to use, standards and definitions for event centers, places of public assembly, personal services, and commercial recreation — indoor. 4. Motion to table action on the item. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the ordinance amendment, subj ect to any changes requested by the Commission. As noted in prior reports on this item, the current ordinance leaves a significant area of discretion as related to the classification of event- center type uses. Clarity is needed to reflect consistency with the Commission and Council's preferred direction these uses and for staff to be better prepared in working with proposals of this nature. The proposed ordinance provides the needed clarity within the use allowances and definitions as it relates to event centers and similar uses. Planning Commission Agenda: 02/OS/19 D.

ATTEST: Jeff O'Neill, Administrator AYES: NAYS: Brian Stumpf, Mayor ��li�d� ��r��1�� 4��Oi�4A��dh ��t 4150 Olson Memorial Highway, Ste. 320, Golden Valley, MN 55422 Telephone: 763.957.1100 Website: www.nacplanning.com MEMORANDUM TO: Monticello Planning Commission Angela Schumann, Community Development Director FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: February 28, 2019 RE: Monticello — Event Centers Ordinance Amendment FILE NO: 191.06 — 18.15 Attached to this memorandum is a draft ordinance related to the creation of a separate land use category labeled "Event Centers". Two primary changes have elevated event centers to the point where treating them as a separate land use category is helpful. First, the event center use has grown by expanding to new venues out from more traditional reception halls that were part of other public assembly venues. Common traditional venues have been churches or hotel "ballroom" types of facilities. Historically, zoning ordinances have accounted for larger events as a common accessory activity to these public assembly uses. Particular growth in the number of events seeking commercial facilities that may have been non-traditional locations has raised a potential conflict with merely assuming that events were a commonplace accessory activity. Second, and driving the first item, is the increasing variation in the size of events now seeking other locations. As more people seek outside venues for smaller events, the number of such activities has grown. As such, it is no longer a safe assumption that irregular gatherings or "assemblies" will be rare and occasional, or that the impacts of allowing event gatherings will remain inconsequential to the surrounding neighborhood. To address this issue, staff has proposed the attached draft for discussion at the Planning Commission. In essence, the event center activity is being distinguished from the previous category of use labeled "public assembly". The distinguishing characteristics tend to be the "predictability" of the gathering. Public assembly is viewed as a use that generates relatively predictable gatherings at regular times. For these uses, zoning regulations can rely on that predictability to address impacts on surrounding land uses. The event center use is distinguished by a wide variety of sized of assemblies that may or may not follow regular schedules — they would often be commercial in nature, and may or may not include alcohol licensing as an aspect of the use. Perhaps the most important aspect of the proposed ordinance is to ensure that assemblies within residential zones continue to include only the expected impacts on residential neighborhoods. To address this issue, the event center use is steered to commercial districts, including the CCD. The ordinance includes language that, through the CUP process, event centers that may have proximity to sensitive areas — such as residential areas — may expect to see restrictions on hours of operation or similar considerations. The ordinance is provided, still in a preliminary format, to permit Planning Commission comment and input at this early stage. Staff would expect to fine tune the details of the ordinance with using that input, and present a more formal ordinance for consideration at a subsequent meeting. 2 C��'i`E� 3: i15� Si��fi��t��5 Section 5. I Use Table �ubsection (A) F�cplanation of Use Table Structure CHAPTER 5: USE STANDARDS 5.1 Use Table (A) Explanation of Use Table Structure (1) Organization of Table 5-1 Table 5-1 organizes all principal uses by Use Classifications and Use Types. (a) Use Classi�cations The Use Classifications are: Agricultural Uses; Residential Uses; Civic and Institutional Uses; Office Use; Commercial Uses; and Industrial Uses. The Use Classifications provide a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into broad general classifications (e.g., residential and commercial uses). The Use Classifications then organize land uses and activities into specific "Use Types" based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered and site conditions. (b) Use Types The specific Use Types identify the specific uses that are considered to fall within characteristics identified in the use Classifications. For example; detached dwellings, parks and recreational areas, and schools are "Use Types" in the Single Family Residence District. (2) Symbols used in Table 5-1 (a) Permitted Uses = P A"P" indicates that a use is permitted by right, subject to compliance with all other applicable provisions of this ordinance. Uses may be subject to special regulations as referenced in the "Additional Requirements" column. (b) Conditionally Permitted Uses = C A"C" indicates that a use is permitted provided the City can establish conditions necessary to ensure the use is compatible to the proposed location and surrounding properties. Inability of the City to establish conditions to adequately control anticipated impacts is justification for denial of a conditionally permitted use. Conditional Uses may also be subject to special regulations as referenced in the "Additional Requirements" column.

I Use Table Subsection (A) F�cplanation of Use Table Structure (c) Interim Permitted Uses = I An "P' indicates that a use may be permitted for a brief period of time provided certain conditions are met, and a specific event or date can be established for discontinuance of the use. Inability of the City to establish conditions to adequately control anticipated impacts is justification for denial of an interim permitted use. Interim Permitted Uses may also be subject to special regulations as referenced in the "Additional Requirements" column. (d) Prohibited Uses = Shaded Cells A shaded cell indicates that the listed use is prohibited in the respective base zoning district. (e) Unlisted Uses If an application is submitted for a use that is not listed in Table 5-1, the Community Development Department is authorized to classify the new or unlisted use into an existing Use Type that most closely fits the new or unlisted use. If no similar use determination can be made, the use will be considered prohibited in which case an amendment to the ordinance text would need to be initiated to clarify if, where, and how a proposed use could be established. �h`�� :��`� ;�� c�� f�Ion�ieeiso �or�ir�g �rcr'ir�ante er-IA�rE� s: usE sr��aAa�s Section 5.
