MINUTES MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Taylor to approve the minutes of November 18, 2024. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. NEXUS INNOVATION CENTER II (2024-11) Request for: • Preliminary Plat dividing one lot into two lots on 14.35 acres, • Site Plan Review on 14.35 acres The applicant, Joe Bergman, a partner at Endeavor Development, presented a PowerPoint and detailed the application. The applicant proposed to build two industrial buildings on the former American Family Insurance site. He introduced PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 13, 2025 Page 2 his firm and stated the applicant had previously had the site rezoned to I-2 Industrial Park to support a single building; the applicant was now requesting a revised site plan with two buildings totaling 174,230 square feet, one being a 92,224 square foot build-to-suit for local provider of backup power solutions HM Cragg, which was returning to Eden Prairie, and an 82,006 square foot speculative building. The site plan showed a shared access and a shared driveway. The plan would recycle existing onsite materials and have seven EV charging stations, and the infrastructure for three additional spaces, and there would be solar panel capability on the roof. There was a robust landscaping plan with the conservation of perimeter trees. There would be ample parking, expandable as needed to suit user needs. Both buildings shared the same elevations and materials, with complementary colors, painted precast, cultured stone veneer, metal canopy and window frames. Bergman displayed the southwest rendering, exterior views and interior renderings. He added this would revitalize an underutilized and obsolete office campus and bring jobs and tax base back to a site that serves as a gateway to Eden Prairie. Barnhart presented the staff report. He emphasized this was a repeat of another design last summer, and the materials and design were identical to what was approved and were compliant with I-2 Zoning District requirements. The setbacks and parking setbacks met requirements, and a waiver was avoided by this design. He commended the sustainability goals. The parking met the requirements with a portion as proof of parking based on the needs of the user. The number of parking spaces did limit the uses of the building given office space and warehouse/manufacturing space. Were those uses to increase, a future conversation would be required. One outstanding issue, as mentioned in the conditions in the staff report to be addressed by this commission before the City Council meeting, was the materials for the screening of the secure parking area (northeast corner of the site). This had to comply with City Code and the applicant was working with staff on this. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report. Farr requested the applicant address the potential mezzanine structure, and if the square footage breakdown of office versus warehouse was sufficient for the current identified tenant. Barnhart replied the parking was based on what the developer requested, based on the square footage. The applicant had been working with the potential client throughout the design. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 13, 2025 Page 3 Bergman replied the mezzanine would be included in Building One office square footage. Farr asked for and received confirmation there would be 107 parking stalls. MOTION: Taylor moved, seconded by Sivilay to close the public hearing. Motion carried 8-0. MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Sherwood to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat dividing one lot into two lots on 14.35 acres and Site Plan Review on 14.35 acres, as represented in the January 13, 2025, staff report subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Motion carried 8-0. AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 11, SECTION 11.07 PERMITTED USES TABLE – SPECIAL DISTRICTS Sherwood recused himself for having represented the school district on this action. Barnhart explained the school district purchased the UNFI property last summer which was originally developed as an office building. This required a zoning change from Office to Public. A portion of the building would potentially be vacant, so this text amendment allowed for office or medical office uses as a secondary use. This comprised only two lines of Code change, and staff recommended approval. MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. Motion carried 7-0 with one abstention (Sherwood). Farr stated this was a common sense approach to a unique problem, and supported the change. Taylor agreed. MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Taylor to recommend approval of the change to Chapter 11, Section 11.07 Code Amendment, as represented in the January 13, 2025 staff report. Motion carried 7-0 with one abstention (Sherwood). PLANNERS’ REPORT MEMBERS’ REPORTS Barnhart announced the January 27 Planning meeting would include a variance and a text amendment. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES January 13, 2025 Page 4 Pieper stated he and Barnhart presented to the City Council Workshop last week. The Council expressed its appreciation, and commended the Commission’s questions on sustainability components in developments as well. VI. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Grote moved, seconded by Kirk to adjourn. Motion carried 8-0. The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Planning Commission Agenda Staff Report Date: January 27, 2025 Location: 8107 Eden Prairie Road Subject: Variance – Smith Coffee House From: Ben Schneider, Planner I Applicant: City of Eden Prairie ITEM DESCRIPTION Variance request to have 39% impervious surface lot coverage in the Shoreland Overlay District at the Smith Coffee House property. City Code limits impervious surface coverage in the Shoreland Overlay District to 30%. REQUESTED ACTIONS Approve variance request to have 39% impervious surface lot coverage in the Shoreland Overlay District. City Code limits impervious surface coverage in the Shoreland Overlay District to 30%. BACKGROUND The Smith-Douglas-More House, initially constructed in 1877, is one of the City’s heritage preservation sites and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The City owns the building and the lot. Smith Coffee currently rents the building as an adaptive reuse. A conditional use permit was approved for this site in 2002 to allow for a coffeehouse reuse at this site. The property is currently zoned Rural. Adaptive reuse of historical buildings is permitted as a conditional use in the Rural District. Due to the success and popularity of Smith Coffee, the site has a significant demand for parking. It has become increasingly common during peak hours for parking to exceed capacity of the parking lot. As a result, some patrons have been parking in undesignated areas, causing an array of concerns including safety. The City and Smith Coffee therefore propose to increase the number of parking stalls on the site to mitigate parking issues as much as possible. PROPOSED SITE PLAN The proposed plan would add six (6) new parking spaces. Five (5) of these spaces would be added via new impervious surface, as shown in dark grey in the visual on the next page. The other new space would be added by restriping an existing hatched area. Two (2) of these new spaces will be compact stalls. A recent update to the City’s parking ordinance allows up to 10% of parking stalls on a site to be compact. Such stalls may be eight (8) feet wide rather than nine (9) feet wide. One of the new parking stalls will be made by narrowing the width of a parking island near the building entrance. It should be noted that parking islands are not required in the Rural Zoning District. Still, this plan overall protects most of the existing trees/vegetation and islands within REMOVE EXISTING PLANTER, INSTALL NEW BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT RAINGARDEN RAMP AREA -LONGITUDINAL SLOPE SHALL NOT EXCEED 8.3%.

The property is located within the Shoreland Overlay District, which means there is a City Code limit of 30% impervious surface. The site currently has 36.8% impervious surface coverage. The above plan would increase the impervious surface coverage from 36.8% to 39%. A variance is required prior to implementing this plan. VARIANCE REQUEST To have 39% impervious surface coverage on a lot in the Shoreland Overlay District on the subject property. City Code limits impervious surface coverage in the Shoreland Overlay District to 30%. EVALUATING THE VARIANCE REQUEST Variances may be granted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance and when the variances are consistent with the comprehensive plan. Furthermore, variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. Practical difficulties, as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposed to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance; the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Below is an analysis of how the variance request satisfies these criteria. 1. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan The proposed request is not in conflict with the goals and intent of the Comprehensive Plan (Aspire Eden Prairie 2040). The future guided land use of the property is Commercial, Staff report – Smith Coffee House Variance January 27, 2025 Page 3 which is consistent with a coffeehouse. Expanding the parking lot would enhance the site for continued commercial use. 2. Harmony with the Purpose and Intent of the Ordinance City Code Section 11.50, Subdivision 2, states that the purpose of the City’s shoreland regulations is to “preserve and enhance the quality of public waters, conserve the economic and natural environmental values of shorelands, and provide for wise utilization of water and related land resources, and thereby promote and protect the public health, safety, and welfare.” This variance request is consistent with this statement for the following reasons: A. Distance from Lake. The subject property is located on the outer limits of the 1,000-foot shoreland buffer from Mitchell Lake. As seen in the visual to the right, only a small portion of the northwest corner of the site is within the Shoreland Overlay; approximately four percent (4%) of the whole site. Also, the proposed improvements are outside the 1,000-foot buffer. B.Drainage. The City’s Water Resources Staff has concluded that any stormwater runoff from this site would not drain towards Mitchell Lake. Therefore, the proposed improvements and increase of impervious surface would have no environmental impacts on Mitchell Lake. 3. Unique Circumstance and Practical Difficulties The subject property is an adaptive reuse of a historic building. The use promotes this unique characteristic of Eden Prairie by bringing patrons to view and interact with the structure, and the need for marginal additional impervious surfaces supports the continued interaction with the building. Additionally, as evidenced in the above aerial, there is a clear need for additional parking options on this site. Aside from restriping one of the hatched areas for one additional stall, there are no practical nor code compliant methods to add parking without adding impervious surface. There are also no practical opportunities to remove impervious surface to offset these improvements; all existing pavement and sidewalks are needed for the existing parking lot to function and to meet ADA standards. It also would not be reasonable to remove portions of the existing building given that it is an historical structure. The tenant continues to explore opportunities for workers to park off site, which alleviates some of the parking demand. Staff report – Smith Coffee House Variance January 27, 2025 Page 4 4. Alteration of the Essential Neighborhood Character The proposed improvements are modest, resulting only in six (6) additional parking spaces on the site and about a three percent (3%) impervious surface increase. Granting the variance would not alter the essential neighborhood character. 5. Reasonable Use of Property Adaptive reuse of historic buildings, including commercial uses, is a permitted conditional use in the Rural District. In general, adaptive reuse is a proven strategy to promote historic preservation and ensure that historical properties are used appropriately. It is therefore reasonable to make improvements to the site to facilitate its business needs. The relatively small scope of the project further satisfies the reasonableness criteria. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The granting of this variance is in harmony with the intent and general purposes of the ordinance and the nature of the variance requested is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends approval of the following request: 1. Approval Variance Final Order #2025-01 subject to plans dated January 22, 2025, based on the information outlined in the Staff Report dated January 27, 2025. The Commission may choose form one of the following actions: 1. Approve Final Order #2025-01 as presented. 2. Approve Final Order #2025-01 with modifications. 3. Continue the variance request for additional information. 4. Deny Final Order #2025-01. Memo To: Planning Commission From: Beth Novak-Krebs, Staff Liaison to Heritage Preservation Commission Date: January 27, 2025 Subject: Smith Coffee Variance The Smith Douglas More House is located at 8107 Eden Prairie Road. The site is 1.5 acres and it is located just south of The Ellie and west of Applewood Pointe. The property is designated at a local Heritage Preservation Site. Smith Coffee is the current tenant of the property and they have a very successful business. At times, parking demand at Smith Coffee exceed parking availability. As a result, the tenant needs additional parking. As the owner of the property, the City is working with the tenant to add 5 additional parking stalls in the existing parking lot. The property is located within a Shoreland area. City Code allows a maximum impervious surface of 30%. The site currently has an impervious surface of 36.8%. The proposed addition of parking stalls involves converting green space into parking stalls thereby increasing the impervious surface. The site already exceeds the maximum 30% impervious coverage. When the initial parking lot was constructed in 2002 and expanded in 2011, the shoreland issue was not addressed. This oversight was likely the result of the mapping available at the time. In 2005, the City did not have the high-tech mapping and the ability to better identify sites in the Shoreland and get very site specific. Today, the City can better identify those properties located in the Shoreland. The proposed project is near the outer limits of the 1,000 foot buffer around Mitchell Lake. This project is not expected to have an impact on the environmental value of the lake as it does not even drain to Mitchell lake. The proposed parking stalls are located within the boundaries of the existing parking lot. The location of the historic home, accessory buildings and hosta gardens dictated the boundaries of the existing parking lot and limits expansion to the north. Although the addition of the parking stalls will add 926 square feet of impervious surface, the location of the new stalls limits the impact to the site and surrounding uses. Approval of the variance provides for reasonable use of the property. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the additional parking does not change the character of the site.

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS N/A = Not Applicable BY:________________________________________________ Planning Commission Chair – Andrew Pieper Date: 01-27-25 EXHIBIT A – FINDINGS AND CONDITIONS VARIANCE #2025-01 FINDINGS “Practical difficulties” is a legal standard set forth in law that cities must apply when considering applications for variances. It is a three-factor test and applies to all requests for variances. To constitute practical difficulties, all three factors of the test must be satisfied. The three practical difficulties include reasonableness, uniqueness, and maintaining the essential character of the neighborhood. Additionally, the variance must demonstrate harmony with other land use controls. 1. Reasonable use of the property - The first factor is the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner but cannot do so under the rules of the ordinance. Adaptive reuse of historic buildings, including commercial uses, is a permitted conditional use in the Rural District. In general, adaptive reuse is a proven strategy to promote historic preservation and ensure that historical properties are used appropriately. It is therefore reasonable to make improvements to the site to facilitate its business needs. The relatively small scope of the project further satisfies the reasonableness criteria. 2. Unique circumstances - The second factor is that the property owner’s situation is due to circumstances unique to the property not caused by the property owner. The following are unique circumstances on the property: • The subject property is an adaptive reuse of a historic building. The use promotes this unique characteristic of Eden Prairie by bringing patrons to view and interact with the structure, and the need for marginal additional impervious surfaces supports the continued interaction with the building. • In general, the property has a demonstrated need to add additional parking, evidenced in part by the aerial photo in the Staff Report dated January 27, 2025. • Aside from restriping one of the hatched areas for one additional stall, there are no practical nor code compliant methods to add parking on site without adding impervious surface. • There are no practical opportunities to remove impervious surface to offset the proposed improvements; all existing pavement and sidewalks are needed for the existing parking lot to function and to meet ADA standards. It also would not be reasonable to remove portions of the existing building given that it is an historical structure. 3. Essential character of neighborhood - The third factor is that the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. The proposed improvements are modest, resulting only in six (6) additional parking spaces on the site and only a two percent (2%) impervious surface increase. Granting the variance would not alter the essential neighborhood character. The granting of the variance is in harmony with intent and general purposes of the ordinance and the nature of the variance requested is consistent with the comprehensive guide plan. EXHIBIT B – LEGAL DESCRIPTION That part of the Southeast ¼ of the Northeast ¼ of Section 17, Township 116, Range 22, described as follows: Commencing at the NW corner of said Quarter-Quarter; thence South along the West line of said Quarter-Quarter distance 316 feet to the actual point of beginning; thence East parallel with the North line of said Quarter-Quarter distant 357.0 feet; thence South with the West line of said Quarter-Quarter distant 242 feet; thence West parallel with the North line of said Quarter- Quarter distant 357.0 feet; thence North along the West line of said Quarter-Quarter distant 242.0 feet to the point of beginning, according to the Government Survey, except road. Planning Commission Agenda Staff Report Date: January 27, 2025 Subject: Code Amendment – Chapter 11 From: Jeremy Barnhart, City Planner ITEM DESCRIPTION This amendment corrects certain errors identified in Chapter 11, removes certain regulation not applicable, and consolidates the definitions found in Chapter 11. The amendment corrects confusion and conflict resulting in increased user clarity. REQUESTED ACTIONS • Approve the amendment to Chapter 11 (zoning code), as drafted. BACKGROUND In 2023, the City reorganized and reformatted the zoning code, with the goal to be more user friendly for residents, contractors, developers, and staff, while simplifying navigation and reducing confusion for the user. In the use of the code over the last year, staff identified inaccuracies in the final ordinance; typographical errors, misapplied labels, and inadvertent deletion of words or sentences. Additionally, city staff reviewed the existing definitions scattered throughout the zoning chapter, and consolidated them in one location as appropriate for clarity and ease of use. This amendment does not represent a shift in policy. The attached draft ordinance, reviewed by the City Attorney, provides further detail of the changes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the draft ordinance as presented.
