Jason Zimmerman – Planning Manager, stated there is one hearing for two applications to change
the designations at the listed address. Staff noted the address’s location in the City of Golden
Valley and the area is zoned for office. There is one building on the lot which has been vacant since
2021 and has housed a variety of restaurants prior to that. There are 47 parking spaces around the
building.
The applicant is proposing to modify the guided land use and use the building and parking for
Poquet Auto, then to rehabilitate the commercial kitchen for use as a catering kitchen. There has
been a discussion with Engineering about adding a striped crosswalk (at applicant’s expense) to
provide safe pedestrian crossing for employees).
Regarding the future land use map, the change will be from office to a retail service designation.
Staff reviews a number of factors that impact the present and future comp plan goals. Staff went
into detail on both office and retail/service land use descriptions.
There does not seem to be a significant change in traffic patterns, and the mix of land use in the
area is conducive to the proposed change. The property was guided for retail/service prior to the
2040 Comp Plan. This change will also likely create a complete community by enhancing
employment centers as well as retain and expand the existing job base.
Regarding the zoning map amendment, staff discussed office and commercial zoning district
descriptions, by right, and conditional uses in those districts. Echoing what was said earlier, there
does not seem to be a significant change in traffic patterns, and the mix of land use in the area is
conducive to the proposed change. This property was zoned Commercial prior to the 2040 Comp
Plan. There is sufficient parking that could support a wide range of uses.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Future Land Use Map, changing
the guided land use for 604 Lilac Drive N from Office use to Retail/Service use.
Findings:
1. The change in guided land use allows for a wider variety of businesses to occupy a vacant
site.
2. Any traffic impacts associated with the change in designation would be minimal and could
be absorbed by the adjacent roadway.
3. The proposal returns the land use designation to what it had been for many years,
suggesting there would be no noticeable impact to the surrounding area.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the requested amendment to the Zoning Map, changing the zoning
for 604 Lilac Drive N from Office to Commercial.
Findings:
1. The change in zoning allows for a wider variety of businesses to occupy a vacant site.

3. The proposal returns the zoning designation to what it had been for many years, suggesting

Commissioner Ruby asked if there are special considerations when switching a building’s use like
this one, from a medical use to a commercial use. He elaborated on asking about hazardous waste
disposal. Staff noted they have been talking about it but it’s not a topic for these particular
proposals before the Commission. However removing the MRI machine in the building has been a
barrier for previous applicants and the City has regulations on removal/disposal/mitigation when
building permits are pulled.
Chair Brookins invited the applicant to present.
Colin Severs, Applicant, owns Poquet Auto and ABC Investments, he noted the CUP was granted on
June 3, 2003 and they’re still a part of the community. This building being discussed has been for
sale for quite a while and the applicant noted that when the price came down, he became
interested. Part of this process will be to remove the MRI machine which has a magnet that weighs
250k pounds. The applicant acknowledged the walkway being at their expense. The applicant
mentioned the main reason for the purchase will be to utilize the parking spaces and noted the
building and landscaping that will need to be done before it’s usable again.
Commissioner Segelbaum thanked the applicant for the exterior investment updates and they
discussed repairs to the parking lot as well. The applicant reiterated his commitment to making
repairs and increasing the curb appeal. The applicant expanded on the crosswalk and needing to be
granted access to the MNDot ROW. The discussion continued on sidewalks, ROW, a walkway, and
pedestrian beacon. The conversation continued on the parking and that parking in that lot is only
allowed for that business or another next door. The applicant is not allowed to lease the parking
spaces to another business.
Chair Brookins opened the public comment portion at 6:54pm.
The Chair noted that no online comments were received.
There were no in person comments.
There were no remote comments as well.
Chair Brookins closed the public comment portion at 6:55pm.
Commissioner Ruby started by saying the proposal makes sense to him as it will be a business use,
the applicant will be improving the appearance of the current lot, and considered needs for
employee safety. Commissioner Meredith noted that rehab of the lot will be an enhancement to
the area. Commissioner Segelbaum noted the standards the group is to consider and thinks the
prior rezoning was put in place to encourage development. By this group choosing to approve the
applicants request, they are in part removing another’s ability to develop a large segment as office.
However, the group can’t know when that could have occurred. Considering what the applicant is
proposing, it’s a good fit and he agrees with staff. Chair Brookins suggested the City may look at

rezoning across the entire area if office spaces continue to have high vacancy. Maybe Commercial
is of higher value in this area. Commissioner Cohen noted the location is not easily accessible and
how ideal it is for Poquet as it allows them the space for sales. He added this approval allows a
Golden Valley business to grow and that’s a positive consideration.
MOTION made by Commissioner Meredith, seconded by Commissioner McCormick, to recommend
approval of the requested amendment to the Future Land Use Map, changing the guided land use for
604 Lilac Drive N from Office use to Retail/Service use and adopting staff findings.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

6. Discussion – 2024‐2033 Capital Improvement Program
Jason Zimmerman – Planning Manager, stated that every year he and the Finance Director, Sue
Virnig, bring the proposed CIP program to the Planning Commission to review and make a finding
that the outlays are consistent with the goals of the Comp Plan. Zimmerman went on to discuss all
the items the CIP includes and some larger items are highlighted in the memo and matched with
goals of the comp plan. Policy items are not addressed by this group but rather some physical items.
Staff and commissioners discussed multi‐year presentations and how to allocate funds across a ten‐
year plan.
Zimmerman discussed park improvements, off leash pet areas, community garden projects, open
space and resource enhancements, water resources and improvements that are often down with the
DNR or the Basset Creek Watershed, street repairs and related utilities, a lift station, PMP, bike and
pedestrian network expansion. Sue Virnig added a few items to the list and noted the monies
received from the local sales tax.
The conversation continued around funding, timelines, and grants. Staff noted that Myles Campbell
is the Grant Administrator for the City and he is on many listservs to be notified when new
opportunities arise.
The discussion continued around providing context in the future for amount proposed and spent.
Chair Brookins noted that the Planning Commission review isn’t a budget review but rather a review
to ensure alignment with comp plan goals. Staff noted the annual budget is separate from the CIP
and the budget is approved by Council.
MOTION made by Commissioner Cohen, seconded by Commissioner McCormick, to determine the
2024‐2033 CIP is consistent with the Comp Plan.

From: Myles Campbell, Planner
Subject: Informal Public Hearing – 825 Boone Ave N, Conditional Use Permit 177 to allow
for an acrobatics/aerial arts training facility
Property address: 825 Boone Ave N
Applicants: Aerial Curiosities – DBA The Aviary Property owners: Aaron Goldstein
Zoning District: Industrial Lot size: 1.51 acres
Current use: Tech Recycling/Resale Proposed use: Acrobatics Training Center
Future land use: Industrial
Adjacent uses: Warehouse (north); Office (northeast, west); Adult Day Care (east);

Summary
2
Aerial Curiosities, doing business as The Aviary, is looking to relocate their existing acrobatics
training center to a commercial space in Golden Valley, located at 825 Boone Ave N. As a
training center, under industrial zoning a Conditional Use Permit is required.
Existing Conditions
The subject property is located a few blocks west of downtown Golden Valley. The building is
set up for multiple tenants and has housed a variety of different uses over the years. The space
under contract for The Aviary was most recently occupied by a tech recycling company. The
building in total is around 2,400 sq.ft., 3,300 of which would be leased by The Aviary. Parking is
provided to the sides and rear of the building, accessed via two drive aisles off Boone.
The applicant is not proposing any significant changes to the building exterior or existing
vegetation. Signage will be updated and will be subject to City Code standards. Some interior
remodeling will be required to get the space set up for rigging the aerial/acrobatics equipment.
The site has 45 striped parking spots as well as additional parking to the rear of the building.
Proposed Use
The applicant is proposing to operate a training facility for aerial arts and acrobatics by their
description. The Aviary has operated in multiple locations for nearly a decade and has a niche
clientele group here in the Twin Cities. Compared to other recreational facilities or gyms, there
is no walk‐in service at the facility, and instead small‐group scheduled classes are led by trained
instructors. The site was desirable for The Aviary because of a few different factors. Most
notably, the space has high ceilings of up to 18’ that make it ideal for acrobatics and aerial
rigging training. In addition, the space is a relatively small square footage, keeping leasing costs
low, and the parking lot is larger than their current location.
During the week the facility would only operate in the evenings, 5‐9pm, for weekends hours
would be 9am‐2pm. There would be two classrooms separated by a wall. The Aviary sets a class
size limit of 10 students maximum but averages closer to 4 or students per class. 10 instructors
are employed but with only a few being in the building at any time.
Given the maximum class size of 20 students in the building at a time, under the city’s off‐street
parking code 4 spaces would need to be provided at a minimum. The site more than meets this
amount, even when accounting for other tenants in the building. Even applying the minimum
parking calculation for a more general use gym or rec facility (with a larger and more irregularly
arriving customer base) the site still meets code standards.
3
Staff Analysis
Overall staff in multiple departments did not have significant concerns about this use. The site
has ample off‐street parking, is located a short distance from downtown and Highway 55, and
building’s sewer connections were inspected and improved in 2019, making it Inflow &
Infiltration compliant. The majority of site work involved with this project is related to the
interior remodeling, and as such will be subject to further review by Fire and Building
Inspections Staff.
Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors (which need not be weighed equally):
Factor Finding
1. Demonstrated Need for Proposed Use Standard met. The Aviary has had a longstanding
customer base since its inception in 2015.
4
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Standard met. Creative Reuse of an older
warehouse building is supported in the
Comprehensive Plan’s Economic Competitiveness
Chapter and the site is located on the edge of the
Downtown Redevelopment Area.
3. Effect upon Property Values Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts
from the new business.
4. Effect on Traffic Flow and Congestion Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts
on traffic flow or congestion given ample parking.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density Standard met. There are no anticipated increases
in population or density.
6. Compliance with the City’s Mixed‐Income
Housing Policy
Not applicable.
7. Increase in Noise Levels Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated
to generate excessive noise.
8. Generation of Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or
Vibration
Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated
to generate excessive odors, dust, smoke, gas, or
vibrations.
9. Any Increase in Pests or Vermin Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated
to attract pests.
10. Visual Appearance Standard met. The proposed use will not
significantly alter the existing building.
11. Other Effects upon the General Public Health,
Safety, and Welfare
Standard met.
5
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends Recommend approval of the Conditional Use
Permit 177 subject to the following conditions:
1. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or
laws with authority over this development
Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of
the CUP. Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with
Hennepin County.

Sec. 113-30 Conditional Uses
1. Demonstrated need for the proposed use: The Aviary has been an established aerial training
center since 2015. We are the only offered training center of our kind in Minnesota. Professional
aerialists use our facility to develop their craft of aerial arts and utilize the skills learned in their line
of work. 825 Boone Avenue North in Golden Valley offers unique attributes that meet our specific
training facility requirements (low square footage, 18”+ ceiling heights, existing restrooms, exposed
ceiling beams etc).
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. The initial proposal of use letter was
sent to Jason Zimmerman on 10/27/2023. He determined The Aviary as an approved service to
apply for the Conditional Use Permit on 10/27/2023. The application has been sent in for review on
11/09/2023 before the second Friday of the month to meet the council deadline.
3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area: none.
4. Effect of any anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow and congestion in the
area: none.
5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land uses: none.
6. Compliance with the City’s Mixed-Income Housing Policy (if applicable to the proposed use):
not applicable.
7. Increase in noise levels to be caused by the proposed use: none.
8. Any odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration to be caused by the proposed use: none.
9. Any increase in pests, including flies, rats or other animals or vermin in the area to be caused
by the proposed use: none.
10. Visual appearance of any proposed structure or use: none.
Use proposal:
The 3300 sq. ft. rented space at 825 Boone Avenue North will consist of one office, two
restrooms and two training rooms for aerial bungee, static trapeze, aerial sling, lyra and split panel
silks. Nothing is intended to change with the existing structure’s exterior or interior (minus minor
cosmetic changes like paint and flooring). The Aviary operates from 5:00-9:00pm Monday-Friday
and 9:00am-2:00pm on Saturdays and Sundays. There are 10 employees/independent contractors
total, with an average of 2 in the space at a time. The Aviary has a self-set maximum capacity of 10
adult clients per aerial room, with an average of 4 in the space at a time.
Upon entering our facility, our clientele will use the restrooms to change into their aerial attire and
then head into either aerial room to warm up, practice, train and learn on their given aerial
apparatus under the expertise of our employees. The Aviary manager will use the office area to
address administrative tasks.
Initial request to Jason Zimmerman on 10/27: The Aviary would like to be considered for a
Conditional Use Permit for 825 Boone Ave North in Golden Valley under the definition of Care
Services: Training School/ Training Center in an Industrial zoned area.
As a training center for adult aerialists and professional aerial performers, we have a different type
of interaction with our clientele than a recreational use facility such as a gym or dance studio. Our
niche trade is targeted towards a very small and select group of people, minimizing the traffic flow
and hours of operation in our private space. The clientele seeks our business out in hopes of
having personal and professional improvement in the aerial arts, such as aerial sling, static trapeze
and split panel silks- apparatuses not found in a standard gym or dance studio. The principal use
of the facility is to allow professionals a safe environment in which they can be educated by our
highly skilled team, develop their craft of aerial arts and utilize the skills learned at The Aviary in
their line of performance work.
I appreciated our conversation today and really look forward to hearing back from you. Before
taking ownership of The Aviary, I had to travel across the states and oversees to even find training
facilities like the one we have now. I helped open a circus school in Egypt and was lucky enough to
train in Prague as well- I am very passionate about this work and I am more than happy to go into
further detail on how our business could be considered a training center apart from a more run-of-
the-mill dance studio/ fitness gym. We truly hope to establish ourselves as a unique service in
Golden Valley. Thank you for your consideration.

Summary
Import Auto Sales LLC is an existing used vehicle dealership and automotive repair company
located in Golden Valley. The business is looking to relocate to a new location, 7135 Madison
Ave W, an industrially zoned property in the north of the City. Within the Industrial Zoning
District, automotive land uses such as sale, repair and storage of vehicles all are considered
conditional uses, requiring Council Approval.
Existing Conditions
7135 Madison is located in an industrially
zoned neighbor with a mix of other heavy
land uses such as manufacturing and
warehousing. The principal structure was
built in 1968, and is 26,250 sq.ft. The lot has
two curb cuts, one a principal access for its
rear parking lot and a secondary one for a
delivery door on the front of the building.
While landscaping is maintained towards
the street the rear of the lot is mostly brush and needs some improvement, as part of their
plans for the lot, the applicant is looking to add privacy fencing around the rear parking area to
help mitigate visual impacts on adjacent properties and keep vehicles more secure.
The building is not considered Inflow and Infiltration compliant, meaning their private sewer
connection is not up to city standards. That being said, the sewer line has been inspected, and
the applicant has entered into a reimbursable deposit agreement with the City covering 125%
of the expected repair costs.
Proposed Use
The applicant is proposing to operate a used car dealership and
repair facility, utilizing the large rear parking lot for inventory
storage. Import Auto Sales LLC has been in business since 2005 and
has spent a number of the previous years at their current Golden
Valley location just north of Interstate 394 at 730 Florida Ave S.
Given that area of the city had been reguided in the last
Comprehensive Plan away from industrial uses towards mixed use,
this new location makes a lot of sense in staff’s eyes. Automotive
land uses can produce an abundance of noise, fumes, etc. and so
Industrial zoning is a logical fit.
Improvements to the building would mostly be internal remodeling,
although staff sees a need to update the parking lot which is
currently unstriped. While there appears to be a handicap parking
space or sign towards the front of the building, it looks to have been
put up by a previous owner and would not be considered ADA
3
compliant in the Building Official’s estimate. For internal improvements, the building is planned
to house 3 service bays for repair work. The applicant does not plan to make any significant
changes to the building façade, other than fresh paint and new signage to reflect the change in
business.
The business would be open six days a week and would stagger 11 total employees into two
shifts over the day.
Monday to Thursday 8am‐8pm
Friday 8am‐6pm
Saturday 8am‐5pm
Import Auto gets a range of customers in any year, but estimated that they typically had around
400 retail clients for vehicles or repair and 100 wholesale clients.
Staff Analysis
The most significant point of discussion amongst all departments that had comments on this
item was management of traffic and parking. The existing parking lot being unstriped makes it
difficult to determine how much would need to be allocated towards required minimum
parking vs. what could be used for inventory storage, and beyond this the City Fire Department
also needs to have clear drive aisles for them to access the rear of the building in case of a fire
emergency.
Required Parking 7135 Madison Total
Auto Repair 4 spaces per service bay 12 spaces required
Auto
Sales/Showroom
1 space for every 1000 s.f. of gross
floor area of display area
5 spaces required
Outdoor Storage 1 space per 10,000 s.f. of storage area 2 spaces required
Total 19 parking spaces
That said, staff does not have concerns about the sites ability to provide ample parking after
being restriped, as the rear lot is almost a half‐acre itself. Fire staff does also question whether
the applicant’s preferred section of parallel parking along the driveway will still allow a fire
truck to access the back of the lot, and so this will need to be determined as part of a striping
plan.
Besides improvements to the parking lot, engineering staff recommended that the Conditional
Use Permit carry over some of the same requirements that are in place for the use at its current
location on Florida Ave. Most notably, the requirement that deliveries and unloading of
4
vehicles, as well as storage of vehicles occurs solely on the property and not within City ROW.
This requirement is commonly included in entitlements for many of the automotive businesses
throughout the City, and is intended to keep city streets free from traffic and decluttered with
businesses’ inventories.
Overall staff are supportive of the applicant’s plan, as this new location seems to be a better fit
for the business than in an area with potentially residential and commercial uses developing
over the near future. While questions remain about parking, staff finds that the conditions of
approval recommended below mitigate for most concerns.
Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors (which need not be weighed equally):
Factor Finding
1. Demonstrated Need for Proposed Use Standard met. Import Auto has been in business
since 2005.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan Standard met. Keeping the business in Golden
Valley even through relocation highlights some
key goals from the Economic Competitiveness
Chapter and the site is located in an area geared
towards industrial uses long‐term.
3. Effect upon Property Values Standard met. There are no anticipated impacts
from the new business.
4. Effect on Traffic Flow and Congestion Standard conditionally met. There are no
anticipated impacts on traffic flow or congestion
given ample parking and the condition that
deliveries and vehicle storage happen only off‐
street.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density Standard met. There are no anticipated increases
in population or density.
6. Compliance with the City’s Mixed‐Income
Housing Policy
Not applicable.
7. Increase in Noise Levels Standard conditionally met. The condition
regarding outdoor speakers and address systems
should help to avoid excessive noise.
5
8. Generation of Odors, Dust, Smoke, Gas, or
Vibration
Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated
to generate excessive odors, dust, smoke, gas, or
vibrations.
9. Any Increase in Pests or Vermin Standard met. The proposed use is not anticipated
to attract pests.
10. Visual Appearance Standard conditionally met. The conditions
regarding parking in landscaped areas, screening,
and the restriping plan will help to mitigate any
negative visual impacts.
11. Other Effects upon the General Public Health,
Safety, and Welfare
Standard met.
Recommended Action
Based on the findings above, staff recommends Recommend approval of the Conditional Use
Permit 178 subject to the following conditions:
1. All vehicle deliveries and storage of inventory shall take place on‐site and shall
not take place on the street.
2. No parking shall be allowed within any existing landscaped area.
3. Screening for the inventory storage shall be provided that is consistent with Sec.
113‐152 of zoning code.
4. No outside music, loudspeakers, or public address system will be allowed.
5. The applicant shall submit a restriping plan for the parking lot subject to review
and approval by the City Fire Department and Engineering Department.
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances,
regulations, or laws with authority over this development.
Failure to comply with one or more of the above conditions shall be grounds for revocation of
the CUP. Consistent with State statute, a certified copy of the CUP must be recorded with
Hennepin County.
