REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND Property: Planning Case Number: Legal Description: NA PID #: NA 2023-05 Request(s): Consideration of a request for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance addressing Vehicle Fuel Sales definitions and standards for principal and accessory uses. 1 Planning Commission Agenda — 02/07/2023 Deadline for Decision: NA Land Use Designation: NA Zoning Designation: NA Overlays/Environmental Regulations Applicable: NA Current Site Uses: NA ANALYSIS: After the request for an electric vehicle charging facility by Tesla within the Cub Foods parking lot, the City observed shortcomings in the current zoning ordinance related to Vehicle Fuel Sales and the standards that apply to that use. Not surprisingly, the current language relates to gasoline (and diesel fuel) sales as a stand-alone use, usually with a convenience store as a part of the facility. The code does not distinguish between principal and accessory activities, which is expected, since the dominant manner of development for many years has been the model we see everywhere — both uses together on a single site. The Tesla facility at the Cub Foods property avoided a direct confrontation with the ordinance structure since that area is governed by a Conditional Use Permit PUD. As such, distinctions between principal and accessory uses, or the installation of a fueling station that is not necessarily related to the principal use of the property, were easier to address. With the advent of new alternative fuels, particularly electric vehicles, but also hydrogen fuel cells and other technologies, staff is recommending changes to the zoning ordinance to proactively address the evolution of motor vehicles, as well as how and where they are fueled. To be noted this are not just the change in fuel types, but also changes to where fueling occurs, often on private property, or on commercial installations without the traditional retail building. The proposed amendments are intended to address these changing conditions in land use. The ordinance resets the definition of Vehicle Fuel Sales to include alternative fuels and simplifies the language in the definition related to associated uses as the current language is outdated and overly restrictive. The definition for Vehicle Fuel Sales continues to include petroleum- based fuels, but also adds hydrogen and electric charging stations (and any other fuel used to power motor vehicles) to the list. The ordinance then categorizes such stations in the land use standards into three separate categories: 2 Planning Commission Agenda — 02/07/2023 1. Commercial Vehicle Fuel Stations Commercial businesses that provide any or all of these fueling facilities. These businesses are Principal Uses of property. 2. Accessory Electric Charging Facilities — All Property a. The ordinance allows as permitted accessory use any electric charging facility of no more than two charging stations (a capacity to serve two vehicles) on any property in the City, regardless of zoning, from Single Family Residential to Multi -Family Residential to Commercial and Industrial properties. b. The ordinance further expands the allowance as a permitted accessory use any electric charging facility of up to six charging stations on Multi -Family, Commercial and Industrial parcels, with specific regulations related to location and screening of the related infrastructure. 3. Accessory Electric Charging Facilities — 7 or more stations The ordinance permits Multi -Family, Commercial and Industrial properties to install 7 or more accessory charging stations by Conditional Use Permit. It is anticipated that as the adaptation to more electric vehicles continues, more properties will be seeking the ability to add charging stations. Because of the significant infrastructure to accommodate greater numbers, the CUP provisions support the expansion, but permit the City the ability to ensure that these facilities do not raise issues of site design, land use, or other concerns. It should be noted that the ordinance is specifically structured to discourage the commercialization of the accessory -use charging stations. The structure of the ordinance is intended to accommodate electric vehicle charging for tenants and residents of the subject properties, not create a de facto commercial use separate from the principal use of property. As noted above, if a Commercial property intends to open charging up to the public, they would need to seek a Conditional Use Permit under the revised ordinance as adopted. Also of note is that the City could, through the same regulatory framework, also allow for public charging stations on sites for which a principal Public Facility or Use has been established. Finally, as staff reviewed the ordinances relating to principal and accessory uses, an additional amendment was identified. An existing section of the Zoning Ordinance language provides that principal uses not explicitly listed in the code are considered prohibited — a common approach to zoning ordinance construction. However, the code also provides a lengthy exception for a separate decision of the Community Development Department to consider an unlisted use to be allowed. The more traditional method here would be to require an ordinance amendment, rather than an administrative determination. The rationale for this is that an administrative determination is not memorialized in the code for future users or staff and can lead to Planning Commission Agenda — 02/07/2023 inconsistencies in application of the ordinance over time. The proposed amendment modifies this section of the Zoning Ordinance to eliminate the exception clause. STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends adoption of the proposed amendment. The current ordinance is silent on the provision of alternative fuels and does not address the changing land use patterns related to EV charging stations on private property. The proposed regulations would provide for the ability of individuals, property owners, and commercial business operators to prepare for the changes in vehicle fueling expected to occur over the next several years.

In 2022 the partner jurisdictions met with representatives from MnDOT and Federal Highway to discuss and select an efficient process for moving through the state and federal approval processes for this scale of transportation improvements. Based on the information from those agencies, the partnership plans to initiate something called a Planning and Environmental Linkages Study (PEL) in 2023. Wright and Sherburne counties will likely take the lead on the study with input from all the jurisdictions that are part of CMRP. The PEL study will consider the benefits and impacts of transportation improvements on the environment, communities, and economy in the TH25 corridor between Highway 10 and 1-94. The project will help the partnership evaluate the transportation improvement options within the guidelines needed for approval. Currently, the partners are drafting the RFP to select a consultant to work on this process. Once a consultant is selected and the project officially kicks off, there will be stakeholder and public involvement throughout; the RFP and project deliverables specifically call for a public engagement plan that includes options like in-person and virtual open houses, pop-up events, website and social media content, online surveys, etc. Project Update List February's updated project listing is attached for reference. 2 r raj• �`rr;.y h�f �«� , �. 1� � • �+ r' r ` r � + � I T , it �� A j do f r If fir•�r#'� *r /r r + '�� f r f,`# } r j r*Ord♦' '� � r 4 rr r r�. #1*I'�� , .� t l r . ! � , Jr'# i r �f � r + r +++ ",. . +i ",+ ti •�C, r" rid �' i�+'�r�'�,r ? r F +; 1� ti po r Pr r r 1 it+, 1 J ' �� IV r + ■ -0 Ain 1pa .L1 . ��Irw tit/ �r ,�• {� r r / r 1 iunityGuide r r I 'i..r t r -V January18,2023 �- t,1 ;., jo Table of Contents Introduction and Credits 04-07 Style Guide 0 Material Standards Material Standards Example Imagery Graphic Standards Sign Types Example Imagery 08-10 Sign Families n-za Sign Templates CITY DF Monticllo PAGE 2 Introduction The City of Monticello Community Sign Guide provides design standards for community identity and wayfinding signage to ensure consistency in graphic elements and materiality across most public sign types in the community. As existing public facility signs are replaced or expanded across the community, this guide should be consulted to provide a cohesive, on - brand signage system that reinforces the character of Monticello and enhances the urban experience . The full community signage package provides design templates for sixteen different signs that aim to address the full range of signage needs, locations, and target audiences (including both pedestrian and traffic) anticipated in the community, although site-specific modifications to these templates should be considered for each installation. These sixteen signs are organized into three `families' based on use and context: the Civic Gateways and Building Sign Family, which mark vehicular entrances to the community and identify civic facilities at a distance; the Urban Wayfinding Sign Family, which support street scape-level wayfinding for both vehicles and pedestrians, and the Parks and Recreation Sign Family, which extends the community signage standards into the parks system while differentiating parks signage through a modified color palette. Graphic standards for the signs are based upon the current City of Monticello branding and style guide, including colors, logos, and typography. These elements may need to be adjusted for future changes to city branding and identity. Sign templates shall conform with: Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), National Park & Recreation Association and City ordinance requirements. Credits This Community Sign Guide was developed by Bolton & Menk with collaboration and oversight from City of Monticello administrators, department staff, and the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Committee. r �o Monticllo PAGE 3 Style Guide.

Where noted on large monument sign templates, vertical faces of foundations shall receive a stacked stone form liner texture (Fitzgerald 17002 Austin Ashlar or equal, or as directed by Owner), continuous on all sides. The form liner pattern shall terminate in a clean masked edge to create a consistent 4" `cap' parallel to the top edge of the foundation. Curved foundation tops shall be continuous curves to match template drawings, and slope to drain.

We received 8 responses out of a possible 28 land use applicants in 2022 (28.57%), with multiple attempts to encourage response. The responses came from land developers, local business owners and property owners and business representatives. All responses indicated that staff provided applicants with adequate information about the design standards and review process. It was also indicated by all completed surveys, that the City provided assistance and good communication to keep projects moving forward to completion. Survey responders were asked to provide feedback on multiple areas of the Land Use process, with a response scale of "Excellent", "Satisfactory", and "Improvement Requested". The majority responders provided feedback for all fields requested. A breakdown of this multi - response question is included on the next page of this summary. All responses indicated staff worked proactively with the applicant to overcome issues in development or the land use process itself. 60% of respondents indicated the plan review and construction process encouraged them to invest in future projects in Monticello. 40% responded "No" to this question on the survey, with only one additional comment related those responses. It was noted that there was too much paperwork and guidelines for the type of commercial building the applicant had proposed. 80% of responders said they would recommend Monticello to other builders/developers. Three of the completed surveys offered suggestions to better improve the planning/development/land use review process. One comment was related to the review process and how there seemed to be unnecessary, costly and time-consuming review steps that had not been required in prior similar land use processes in surrounding communities. The other noted City staff's accommodation to development trends, and openness to new ideas. The Development Services team met to discuss the survey results. To continue process improvements efforts and help respond to some of the survey concerns, staff have evaluated ideas and begun to implement planning process enhancements. In the pre -application and permit phase, we have added informational items to the pre -design meeting (meetings between City staff team and prospective applicants) to help inform applicants about the process timelines, code requirements, online resources, and costs. Pre -design meeting notes will be provided to applicants as a summary of need -to -know information. We have also initiated post -decision meetings. This additional communication point offers applicants the chance to meet with the staff team to move their project from the design and planning phase to construction. The Post Development Survey provides valuable feedback and opportunity for continual process improvement evaluation. *Q4 "Help us define service enhancement areas that will help you the most.

Summary Documentation of Regional Significance CITY OF Monticeflo The City of Monticello is pursuing a new local option sales tax during the 2023 Legislative Session. Our city leaders are committed to being responsible stewards of public funds, enhancing our strong economic foundation as well as facilitating quality of life initiatives that benefit members of the public across Central Minnesota. To successfully accomplish these goals, we must seek new financial tools to help fund valuable projects. Our location along the critical transportation corridors of Interstate 94 and Minnesota Trunk Highway 25 facilitated our growth into a robust regional center of commercial activity. Implementing a local sales tax will leverage that commercial capacity into successful recreational amenities of regional significance. The City is requesting a % percent local option sales tax collected over 20 years. Based on the Department of Revenue's estimate of revenue of $1.4 million annually for the city, this is anticipated to result in $30,000,000 for equal distribution between two of Monticello's top priority projects. • Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Athletic Park ($15,000,000) Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Athletic Park is Monticello's long-term vision for centralized recreation in our community. It adds field space for active play to the larger Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park, augmenting the natural park amenities with green space for soccer, football, and lacrosse. The ultimate vision for the athletic park includes baseball and softball fields of varying sizes, regional recreation amenities such as tennis courts and ice rinks, concession and ceremony space, and the necessary infrastructure to support all -season use of the park. Bringing the athletic park to life adds economic vitality to our community and region as teams travel to compete and relax between games, experiencing the excitement Monticello has to offer. The Pointes at Cedar Recreational Area ($15,000,000) The Pointes at Cedar Recreational Area builds on Monticello's existing id ��& 1/ SAL TA OVER 20 YEA entity as a destination for recreation. The project is anchored by three interconnected lakes that serve a stormwater " purpose but are also enhanced to become centers for aquatic recreation. The lake feature will be surrounded by pathways, art, entertainment, and gathering spaces. The Pointes Master Plan outlines regional amenities, including a pavilion for all -season recreation on the lakes, spaces for events and performances, a pathway trailhead, and nodes for play and discovery. With the lively public spaces at the center, recreation will drive economic activity around the perimeter. The Pointes Small Area Plan guides commercial and residential development in alignment with surrounding land uses, striving for vital density as well as a strong mix of retail and professional services. Securing a local sales tax to help fund these two projects will allow Monticello to remain fiscally responsible as we develop. These projects authentically reflect the character and strengths of Monticello while serving the greater region. The revenue generated would be a transformational sum, bringing these projects to life for generations to come. Sincerely, Lloyd Hilgart, Mayor Rachel Leonard, City Administrator Lloyd.Hilgart@ci.monticello.mn.us Rachel.Leonard@ci.monticello.mn.us The City of Monticello: Planning for the Future Projects funded through the local option sales tax would be of regional significance enhancing recreational opportunities for the public throughout the region and state while simultaneously supporting a healthy economy. Everything the City of Monticello does is led by the Monticello 2040 Community Vision + Comprehensive Plan, a detailed vision for the future of our community. It was developed with public input from our region and provides strategies to achieve a clear vision of the future. There are three themes: community character, community health, and community sustainability. These themes are woven throughtout the plan and are reflected in the projects selected for Monticello's local option sales tax. Our Vision In 2040 the City of Monticello is an inclusive community focused around sustainable growth while maintaining its small-town character. Monticello is a Mississippi River town known for its schools, parks, biking and walking trails and vibrant downtown. Monticello is an evolving, friendly and safe community that respects the quality of its environment, fosters a sense of belonging and connection, encourages a healthy and active lifestyle and supports innovation to promote a prosperous economy. I�� ;Ov � Our r Our values include: a network of parks, open space and trail connections that provide recreation opportunities; a healthy community focused on physical and mental health and wellness of its residents; a diversified and strong local economy competitive at regional, state and national levels. Supporting a Growing Population The projects funded through the local option sales tax will be a draw for a steadily growing population in our region, providing accessible spaces for families to shop, gather for a game, experience local art, and recreate together. Monticello's population increased approximately 10 percent between 2010-2018 (Source: 2020 Monticello Housing Needs & Market Demand Study/US Census American Community Survey). The population of our region (Wright & Sherburne Counties) is growing at a pace of four times the state average, with the region set to exceed 270,000 residents by 2050 (Source: Central Mississippi River Regional Planning Partnership, Framework 2030 Plan). U—) Planning for Transition As a host community to a major energy utility, the City of Monticello is committed to plans and projects that, with phased development, will continue to build a sustainable and successful economy. These two projects will support Monticello in its efforts to transition from reliance on an energy tax base while meeting a regional recreation need in service to the public beyond our municipal borders. City of Monticello 2023 Local Option Sales Tax 15� A Retail Destination Monticello is one of Wright County's regional retail centers. Approximately 23% of Wright County's total sales tax receipts are generated in Monticello (Source: United States Census, 20171U of M Extension Center for Community Vitality Local Option Sales Tax Analysis for Wright County). Monticello generated an estimated $450,018,000 in total retail sales (including non -sales tax retail sales) in 2017 (Source: United States Census, 2017). A City in Motion A city in motion is a city with retail potential. 4,781 persons commute into Monticello for employment daily. That means approximately 83% of Monticello's employment is estimated to commute into the community, representing significant non-resident buying power (Source: U.S. Census On the Map 2019).

Bertram holds within its borders four undisturbed lakes, acres of woods and wetland, and miles of trails. It is a park to wander, explore, and find yourself in nature. Just north of the woods and water, Bertram is also a destination for recreatio with green fields ready for soccer, lacrosse and a future for additional activity and play. Combined, these two pillars of Minnesota's outdoor heritage — recreational and natural adventures - make Bertram Chain of Lakes an unparalleled park resource for the region and the state. Bertram was listed as a designated facility in Minnesota's Greater MN Region Parks and Trails Commission Strategic Plan, which identifies parks and trails with regional significance outside of the Twin Cities Metro area. Wright Coun and the City of Monticello are co-owners of BCOL, committed to fostering the use and enjoyment of the park. For its part, the City is working toward building a truly one -of -a -kind destination for sports recreation at the BCOL Regional Athletic Park, meeting an unmet need for athletic fields for the community and the region. Currently a limited number of athletic fields, not constructed to final play condition, have been built. Following this construction, the park has experienced a tremendous increase in use for a variety of sports for all ages, including: • Field space for soccer, lacrosse, football, cross country and more • Existing fields are fully booked 7 days a week, May through October • Fields available for recreation beyond organized sports, including a local kite flying club • 2021 site of the MN Youth Soccer Association State Tournament for U13 through U19 Blue Leagues The local option sales tax will make the full build out of this regional athletic park a reality. Regional Partnership Opportunities Wright County is responsible for the passive recreation portion of the park as well as camp site rentals. The City of Monticello is responsible for the active recreation infrastructure and maintenance of the athletic park. The City is partnering with Monticello ISD 882 to host their nature -based education at Bertram. The YMCA utilizes Bertram as the location for their Day Camp Manitou. Our long-term lease with The YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities draws youth from all across the metro to this regional park. We currently coordinate with several athletic associations serving Monticello and surrounding communities, and expect more opportunities and connections to come with the expansion of the athletic park.

In 2021 the Monticello City Council adopted a Small Area Plan guiding development in the area away from large-scale commercial to a more market-driven mixed-use concept with a greater chance of success and positive impact. City leaders are striving to maximize our existing assets with the most valuable use of vacant land and established infrastructure to create long-term economic stability and diversification away from dependency on Xcel Energy's Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, which currently represents almost 50% of Monticello's tax base. The Pointes at Cedar Recreational Area builds on Monticello's existing identity as a destination for recreation. The project is anchored by three interconnected lakes that serve a stormwater purpose but are enhanced to become centers for all -season recreation. The lake feature will be surrounded by pathways, art, entertainment, and gathering spaces with a mix of active and passive amenities to bring together all ages and abilities. The Pointes Master Plan outlines regional features, including a pavilion for all -season recreation on the lakes, spaces for events and performances, an extensive pathway system and trailhead, and nodes for play and discovery. The recreational area's unique biomes featuring native plants and materials will be a magnet for those seeking to immerse themselves in Minnesota's landscapes. With With the lively public spaces at the center, recreation will drive economic activity around the perimeter. The Small Area Plan guides commercial and residential development in alignment with surrounding land uses, striving for vital density as well as a strong mix of retail and professional services. Together, the mix of public and private investment and spaces will produce valuable synergy; bringing people together from all over the region while simultaneously creating an economic market for professional, retail, and restaurant establishments. Regional Partnership Opportunities Public investment in The Pointes at Cedar Recreation Area is intended to facilitate private development in the greater area. These developments will become part of the identity of the project area. Monticello envisions opportunities for civic groups and organizations to contribute to creating entertainment nodes and other elements unique to Monticello. In coordination with MontiArts, the City's arts initiative, we will have opportunities for professional and non- professionals to contribute art to the area.

The City of Monticello has over 30 public spaces to recreate and over 30 pieces of public, community built/local art throughout our community (Source: City of Monticello Art Walk). The Monticello Community Center is an excellent example of our community's ability to attract participants from around the region. The MCC serves members from around Wright and Sherburne Counties, brings school groups from around Central MN, and hosts events and programs with a reach far beyond our immediate population. In addition to parks, arts, and recreation being an integral part to acheiving the priorities established by the Monticello 2040 Plan (community character, community health, and community sustainability) it is also immensly beneficial to our local businesses. Parks and Recreation is Business W R I G H COUNTY As a regional center in Wright County, Monticello is anticipated to be at the heart EMPLOYS 7Jof recreational spending. Wright County employs over 4,700 people in leisure and OVER hospitality jobs (Source: 2019 — Explore Minnesota). In addition to being an employment opportunity, parks and recreation also generates revenue. Wright County generates 470 over $254,785,907 in gross leisure and hospitality receipts and $14,896,148 in state 9 sales tax (Source: United States Census, 20171U of M Extension Center for Community IN LEISURE & HOSPITAL Vitality Local Option Sales Tax Analysis for Wright County). 2.4% OF Outdoor recreation accounted for 2.4% of Minnesota's GDP in 2021 (Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis). Minnesota's local and regional parks generated $2,834,173,626 in Economic Activity in 2013, $1,064,812,177 in 2013 labor income and 22,411 local and regional jobs in parks (Source: National Recreation & Park Association —2015 The Economic Impact of Local Parks). N'S Monticello has 131 hotel rooms and 32 restaurants that will benefit from recreation activity and the regional draw of the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Athletic Park and The Pointes at Cedar Recreation Area. Monticello is part of District 4 in the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission. This is the smallest district geographically [in Minnesota], but the largest and fastest growing by population. Our proposed projects align not only with the Monticello 2040 Community Vision, but with the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and the District 4 Vision Statement to, "anticipate and shape the needs of our changing community by focusing efforts on developing an interconnected system of high-quality, unique, well - located recreational facilities that highlight and preserve our natural resources for all generations;' (Source: Page 72, 2020 GMRPTC Strategic Plan). 2023 Monticello Mayor and City Council Members Lloyd Hilgart Mayor PI Charlotte Gabler Council Member I' ki Lee Martie Council Member o I— Tracy Hinz Council Member Sam Murdoff Council Member Questions?
