Karamella Addition — Consider zoning amendment to allow for ancillary retail in conjunction with a permitted use in the "I-1", "I -2 ", and "BP" zoning districts, subdivision by preliminary plat of a 21.58-acre site to create one (1) lot and one (1) outlot, and site plan/building permit authorization for an approximately 69,500 sq. ft. manufacturing and warehouse facility, and attached 4,200 sq. ft. ancillary retail facility. (PC15-26-ZSB) LOCATION: Northwest of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 147th Street W. PETITIONER: HBP Property Holdings, LLC, and Karamella, LLC Planner Margaret Dykes stated the property, located northwest of Johnny Cake Ridge Road and 147th Street W., is zoned "I -2" (General Industrial). It does not allow for ancillary retail sales. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the zoning code to allow for ancillary retail sales in conjunction with the manufacturing facility. The City Attorney has drafted zoning code amendments that would allow ancillary retail sales as a permitted accessory use in conjunction with a permitted use provided the retail does not exceed 15% of the total floor area or 5,000 sq. ft., whichever is smaller. This would allow a tenant to have a retail operation to sell products manufactured or warehoused on the site. In staff's opinion, allowing a small amount of retail in conjunction with a manufacturing or retail facility does not detract from the overall industrial use of the property. She said the applicant is requesting a subdivision by preliminary plat of the subject 21.58-acre site into one lot and one outlot. The revised preliminary plat shows Lot 1 would be 11.11 acres, and Outlot A is shown as 8.21 acres. A 26' wide drainage /utility easement is now shown on the plat along Johnny Cake Ridge Road; however, it should be modified so that it allows for the installation of a bike trail in this area. An 8' -wide bike trail must be constructed on the applicant's property within the easement. The bike trail would be installed at the time of road improvements for Johnny Cake. A stormwater infiltration area has been incorporated into Lot 1 and a drainage /utility CITY OF APPLE VALLEY Dakota County, Minnesota Planning Commission Minutes August 19, 2015 Page 3 of 5 easement has been placed over it. All necessary drainage and utility easements are shown on the preliminary plat, though some may need to be modified. The site plan shows an approximately 69,500 sq. ft. manufacturing /warehouse facility, and attached 4,200 sq. ft. ancillary retail facility. The total building area is about 73,700 sq. ft. The plan shows a layout for a future expansion, which would increase the building area by approximately 85,280 sq. ft., bringing the maximum building area to 15 8,93 9 sq. ft. The revised site plan shows a right - in/right -out access to Johnny Cake, due to the traffic volume. An island in this drive will prevent illegal left turns into the site at this location. Future improvements to Johnny Cake, including a signal, will be monitored by the City and made when it is determined the improvements are needed. There are two driveways accessing 147th Street W. (also a collector), which will provide full access. Driveway widths meet City requirements. Right - turn lanes are shown 147th Street, as required. Discussion followed. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Scanlan, recommending approval of the draft ordinance amendment to allow for ancillary retail in conjunction with a permitted use in the "I -1" (Limited Industrial), "I -2" (General Industrial), and "BP" (Business Park) zoning districts. Ayes - 6 — Nays - 0. MOTION: Commissioner Diekmann moved, seconded by Commissioner Scanlan, recommending approval of the preliminary plat of Karamella Addition, a subdivision of a 21.58 -acre parcel to create one (1) lot and one (1) outlot as shown on the plans received in City offices on August 12, 2015, subject to all applicable City codes and standards, and the following conditions: a.
