Exhibit D Plan Existing Building 5. Exhibit E Preliminary Building Elevations 500 Maple Street (Farmington Elementary School) Adjacent parcels to the north and east are residential uses. Adjacent parcels to the west and south are owned by the School District. Elementary School R -2 (Low/Medium Density Residential) Public /Semi Public The applicant, Independent School District 192, is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow the Expansion of a school within the R -2 (Low /Medium Density Residential) Zoning District. The proposed work includes the following: A building addition of approximately 800 square feet (highlighted in orange on Ex. C). This addition would add 800 square feet of cafeteria area. A small portion of the existing building (approximately 230 square feet) will be demolished with the project. This area is highlighted in yellow on Ex. C. Some interior work including a kitchen remodel. The receiving area and drive will be relocated to the east side of the building off of 6th Street to better accommodate shipments. The receiving drive will be located approximately 110 feet from the intersection of Maple Street and 6th Street. The spacing as proposed is adequate to allow the access. A condition of the CUP, if approved, should be that the applicant applies for a curb breaking permit from the City's Engineering department. A second story above the new receiving dock for mechanical equipment. Building Elevations Attached as Exhibit E, are the preliminary building elevations for the expansion. The building materials will consist of brick and metal paneling. Please note that these elevations, according to the applicants architect, will undergo a large amount of development within the coming weeks, but they do illustrate the schematic design intent for the proposed work. Setback Lot Coverage The subject property is zoned R -2 (Low /Medium Density Residential) and is subject to the following setbacks: Front Yard: 20 feet Side Yard: 6 feet Rear Yard: 6feet The proposed addition meets the required setbacks. In fact, the proposed work would actually put a portion of the existing building back into compliance with the required front yard setback of 20 feet. The 230 square foot area highlighted in yellow in Exhibit C currently extends into the front yard setback by approximately 6 feet. This portion of the building is proposed to be removed as part of this project. The maximum lot coverage requirement for the R -2 Zoning District is 35 The existing coverage of building to total school property at this location is approximately 11.57 well below the maximum of 35 With the proposed addition, the lot coverage will not increase significantly and will not be an issue. Conditional Use Permit The City Code provides criteria that must be satisfied for the Planning Commission to grant a Conditional Use Permit. Those criteria are: 1. The proposed use conforms to the district permitted and conditional use provisions and all general regulations of this title. 2. The proposed use shall not involve any element or cause any conditions that may be dangerous, injurious or noxious to any other property or person and shall comply with the performance standards listed below. 3.

The proposed use shall organize vehicular access and parking to minimize traffic congestion in the neighborhood. 6. The proposed use shall preserve the objectives of this title and shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan. City staff has reviewed the Conditional Use Permit application and has determined that the request meets all applicable City requirements for granting approval of the CUP.

The subject property is the Trinity Campus located at 3410 213 Street West. The property is owned by St. Francis Health Services. On August 9, 2011 the Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing the construction of a ten (10) unit group home on the Trinity property. A condition of approval of the CUP was that the applicant applies for and receives approval of a Planned Unit Development [PUD]. The need to have a Planned Unit Development established for this property was created by the development of the memory care unit(s). The memory care unit(s) need to be separated from the remaining facilities, which are interconnected, on site in order to provide for the most secure and safe living environment for the patients being cared for. By separating these facilities, the applicant is creating multiple principal buildings on a single platted lot. Section 10- 4 -1(H) of the City Code requires that no more than one principal building or structure shall be located on a platted lot or parcel of land, except in the case of planned unit developments. The establishment of a PUD will assist in two specific ways with this particular property. First, it will remove the requirement of only one principal structure on a lot. Secondly, and most importantly, it will allow the City and the applicant to look at the property in a comprehensive way and to develop a master plan for the future development and/or redevelopment of the property instead of the piece meal approach that has occurred over the last several years. Attached as Exhibit A is the Planned Unit Development Agreement as drafted by staff and reviewed and found in acceptable form by the City Attorney and applicant. The PUD Agreement outlines the terms of the Planned Unit Development. The main code deviation that is specified in the agreement is the allowance for multiple principal buildings on a single platted lot. The other provision that staff wanted to make the Commission aware of can be found on page 3 of the agreement title Recordation Plan. This provision requires that the applicant submit a recordation plan for the existing hospital building on site prior to approval of a demolition permit for this portion of the building. The recordation plan includes a written history of the building as well as building plans. This was a recommendation of the Heritage Preservation Commission. Master Plan Attached as Exhibit B, is the proposed Master Plan as submitted by the applicant. The existing site currently accommodates the following: Trinity Care Center Skilled Nursing Care center licensed for 65 beds and is approximately 44,318 square feet. Trinity Suites ten (10) bed group home for Memory Care residents and is 8,828 square feet. Trinity Terrace 54 unit, 3 story Senior Living (assisted living and independent living) facility. Existing (partially abandoned) hospital. This portion of the existing hospital contains the kitchen, laundry and boiler room which serve the Skilled Nursing care center. The proposed future site modifications and additions as shown on the attached Master Plan are as follows: Construction of an additional ten (10) bed group home for Memory Care residents, identical to the one that opened in 2012. This would be a separate facility. Group Homes are a conditional use in the R -5 district. A separate CUP will have to be applied for and approved by the Planning Commission prior to submitting for a building permit for this facility. Demolition of the remaining hospital and construction of a "Utilities Addition" to the existing Skilled Nursing Care Center. This would include a new commercial kitchen, commercial laundry and new mechanical room to serve the facility. A demolition permit will have to be submitted to the City's Building Official prior to demolition work being commenced on site. Construction of two additional "Senior Living" facilities where the old hospital once stood. Construction of these facilities would require site plan approval through the Planning Commission prior to building permit submission. It should be noted that these "Senior Living" facilities are proposed to have underground parking available. It should be noted that the Master Plan can be amended by the applicant through the City's PUD Amendment process if future plans were to change with this property. The property is subject to the setback and lot coverage requirements of the R -5 Zoning District. The setbacks for the R -5 zone are as follows: Front Yard: Side Yard: Rear Yard: 25 feet 10 feet 10 feet The proposed buildings as shown in the Master Plan meet the setback requirements shown above. The R -5 Zoning District stipulates that the lot coverage of all structures cannot exceed 30 percent of the lot area. With all of the proposals shown in the Master Plan, the lot coverage upon build out will be approximately 23.3 Rezoning With the submittal of the PUD application, the applicant is requesting the property be rezoned from R -5 (High Density Residential) to R -5 PUD. It should be noted that upon rezoning the property will be subject to all other code provisions in the R -5 (High Density Residential) Zoning District that are not specifically identified as a deviation in the PUD Agreement. ACTION REQUESTED 1. Recommend approval of the attached Resolution to the City Council approving the PUD Master Plan and Agreement; 2. Recommend approval of the attached Ordinance rezoning the subject property from R -5 (High Density Residential) to R -5 PUD. Respectfully submitted, Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner Cc: Kyle Camacho, Prairie Design Studio RESOLUTION NO.

DRAWN BY 10 -02- 12 120307 120307 S P KAC TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION DISCUSSION City staff is recommending amendments to Section 10 -5 -1 concerning the Official Zoning Map (Exhibit A) in order to comply with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment (Exhibit B). On October 2, 2012 the Metropolitan Council issued a letter stating that "The proposed amendment does not affect official forecasts or the City's ability to accommodate its share of the region's affordable housing need. Therefore, the Council will waive further review and action, and the City may place this amendment into effect." With the approval of the Metropolitan Council, the City must update its ordinances and official controls intended to help implement the Comprehensive Plan amendment. The information below identifies three (3) areas (Exhibit C1 -C3) that consist of nine (9) parcels within the City that are in need of Official Zoning Map amendments (rezoning) in order to comply with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment. The current zoning and proposed zoning, along with the reasoning for the zoning changes are included in the information below: Staff has identified three (3) areas containing nine (9) properties within the City that are being proposed to be amended; they are as follows: Area 1— Exhibit C1 Addresses Affected: City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 651.280.6800 Fax 651.280.6899 www.ci.farmington.mn.us Planning Commission Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner Amendment to Section 10 -5 -1 concerning the Official Zoning Map November 13, 2012 200 1 Street 204 1 Street 212 1 Street 220 1 Street 35 Elm Street 33 Elm Street 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment Land Uses: Low Medium Residential Current Zoning: B -2 (Downtown Business) Proposed Zoning Changes: R -T (Downtown Transitional Mixed Use) Reason for Proposed Change: The Planning Commission held a workshop on January 24, 2012 to review the draft version of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment including the possible re- guiding and rezoning of certain downtown fringe properties, of which these six properties are included. The Commission was comfortable with re- guiding these properties from Commercial to Low Medium Density Residential as they are currently utilized for residential and the likely hood of redevelopment of these parcels for commercial use is low. The properties are adjacent to residential properties that are zoned R -T, therefore it is recommended to rezone them to R -T (Downtown Transitional Mixed Use). Rezoning these properties to R -T would make them conform to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment. It should be noted that Planning staff surveyed the affected property owners on whether they would support these changes in guidance and zoning and all agreed the changes are appropriate. Area 2 Exhibit C2 Addresses Affected: 400 Oak Street 404 Oak Street 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment Land Uses: Low Medium Density Residential Current Zoning: B -2 (Downtown Business) Proposed Zoning Changes: R -T (Downtown Transitional Mixed Use) Reason for Proposed Change: The Planning Commission held a workshop on January 24, 2012 to review the draft version of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment including the possible re- guiding and rezoning of certain downtown fringe properties, of which these two properties are included. The Commission was comfortable with re- guiding these properties from Commercial to Low Medium Density Residential as they are currently utilized for residential and the likely hood of redevelopment of these parcels for commercial use is low. The properties are adjacent to residential properties that are zoned R -T, therefore it is recommended to rezone them to R -T (Downtown Transitional Mixed Use). Rezoning these properties to R -T would make them conform to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment. It should be noted that Planning staff surveyed the affected property owners on whether they would support these changes in guidance and zoning and all agreed the changes are appropriate. Area 3 Exhibit C3 Property Affected: Approximately 25 acres of currently cultivated farmland located at the northeast intersection of CSAH 50 and Flagstaff Avenue. The property is owned by Bernard Murphy. 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment Land Use: Current Zoning: Proposed Zoning Change: Industrial A -1 (Agriculture) IP (Industrial Park) Reason for Proposed Change: The MUSA Review Committee met on January 24, 2012 and determined that the 25 acres of land at the northeast intersection of CSAH 50 and Flagstaff Avenue should be given MUSA in 2012 upon approval of the 2011 Amendment. It was also agreed upon that the 25 acres should be a continuation of the Industrial area adjacent to the east. Rezoning these 25 acres from A -1 (Agriculture) to IP (Industrial Park) makes this area conform to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment. With the Metropolitan Council approval of the 2011 Amendment, the City Council will review and likely approve the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 2011 Amendment on November 19, 2012 by resolution. The approval of the rezonings listed above should be made contingent upon the City Council approving the 2011 amendment to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. It should be noted that it is anticipated that the rezonings, if a favorable recommendation is given by the Planning Commission, will go to Council for action on November 19, 2012. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending to the City's Zoning Map as described above and forward that recommendation on to the City Council, subject to the following condition: 1.

The business will be located at 305 Elm Street next to Linn's Carpets in the Heinen Building. The business owner would like to open his store on November 23, 2012. The owner has recently hung signs in two windows of the vacant space in the building showing that the new store will open soon. He's also covered the windows with paper before he opens the store. The reason for this discussion is because the business owner wants to utilize up to 40% of each window of his shop space with window signs stating futons, sofas, beds, are on sale. At this time, Section 10 -6 -3 (B)1(g) of the City Code states that "Permanent signs printed or otherwise displayed from the inside surface on an individual window shall not exceed two (2) square feet or twenty five percent (25 of the total window area, whichever is greater." This code has been in effect since 1986. Staff has attached a drawing showing the sign size for 25% of the window versus 40% of the window. Additionally, staff has researched other communities in the area to determine their allowance of window sign percentages. The following is shown below: Staff would like the Planning Co ion to review this ordinance and determine if the code for window signs should be updated.
