4. A. Public Hearing - Approval of Conditional Use Permit 143 - 9000 10" Avenue North - Motors
Management Corp., Applicant
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Luther Automotive is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow automobile
installation/repair in an Industrial Zoning District at 9000 101" Avenue North.
Luther purchased this 8.36 acre parcel as well as the adjacent 4.25 acre parcel to the west in
2015. There is an existing building on the property which used to house the office and production
equipment for Gopher News. The applicant intends to renovate the building for an automobile
installation/repair area, offices, and warehouse space, including a call center, conference center,
I.T. department, and indoor storage of automobiles. Future outdoor storage of dealership
inventory is also anticipated at this site.
Aside from the automobile installation/repair use, all other uses are permitted uses and require
no review or approval by the Planning Commission or City Council.
There are ?0 parking spaces currently on-site and the capacity to restripe the remaining paved
area to add 90 more spaces for a total of 160. The anticipated uses require a minimum of 156
parking spaces, so no additional paving or impervious surfaces are necessary to accommodate
the minimum parking required by code.
As indicated by the applicant and included as a condition of approval, the automobile
installation/repair will only be associated with the internal operations of Luther Automotive. No
customers will be visiting the site.
At the December 28, 2015, Planning Commission meeting the Commission voted 5-0 to
recommend approval of the proposal. Specifically, the Commission felt the proposed use was in
compliance with the ten factors in the City Code that determine the eligibility of a conditional
use, subject to the following conditions:
1. The plans submitted by the applicant on November 25, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
2. An additional 7 service bays may be constructed, for a total of 16, as shown on the plans
dated November 25, 2015. In the event these are added, 28 additional parking spaces must
be made available for employees.
3. All vehicle deliveries shall take place on-site and shall not take place on the street.
4. The approved use does not include a retail customer component. Retail servicing of vehicles
may occur on-site, but all retail customer transactions-including drop-off and pick-up-shall
occur off-site.
5. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

2. Informal Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit— 9000 10th Avenue North —
Motors Management Corp. — CU-143
Applicant: Motors Management Corp.
Addresses: 9000 10th Avenue North
Purpose: To allow for an auto repair use in the Industrial Zoning District.
Zimmerman explained the applicant's request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow
automobile repair in the Industrial Zoning District at 9000 10th Avenue North (former Gopher
News property). He stated that the applicant is also proposing to have a call center, their IT
department, a conference center, and inventory storage, however those uses are permitted
and do not require Planning Commission or City Council review.
Zimmerman discussed the existing site conditions and stated that the building footprint is
approximately 93,000 square feet in size and the applicant is estimating that the auto repair
use will occupy approximately 20,000 square feet. He stated that there are 12 service bay
doors on the west side of the building with 9 existing service bays and the potential to add 7
more service bays in the future. He noted that the applicant also owns the 4.25 acre vacant
parcel to the west and added that the proposed auto repair/installation use is internal to the
company only with no retail component and no customers visiting the site. Cars will be
brought to this location for installation of equipment or reconditioning and then brought to
their retail location for sale.

Zimmerman discussed parking on the site and stated that there are currently 70 parking
spaces and the applicant is proposing to restripe the existing parking lot to add 90 additional
parking spaces in order to meet the minimum requirement of 156 spaces for all of the
proposed uses.
Zimmerman stated that based on review of the application materials and evaluation of the
factors of suitability, staff is recommending approval of the requested Conditional Use
Permit with the conditions listed in the staff report and the following additional condition: An
additional 7 service bays may be constructed, for a total of 16, as shown on the plans dated
November 25, 2015. In the event these are added, 28 additional parking spaces must be
made available for employees.
Waldhauser asked if the vacant lot to the west is zoned the same as the subject
property. Zimmerman said yes, they are both zoned Industrial.
Baker asked if the existing service bays are designed for auto repair. Zimmerman said
the applicant will need to do some additional work to the building to allow for auto repair.
Baker asked about the previous use of the building. Zimmerman said the previous use
was more shipping and distribution related.
Baker asked if both internal and external inventory storage is allowed. Zimmerman said
yes and explained that the internal storage of cars will require some building
improvements and the outdoor storage will require screening and possibly storm water
review depending on the applicant's proposal.
Baker asked if there are and lighting or fencing plans. Zimmerman said there will be
some lighting added for security and that the screening will be reviewed by staff before
it is installed.
Waldhauser asked if the site is currently close to the minimum number of required
parking spaces. Zimmerman stated that if the applicant re-stripes the lot they will have
an excess of four parking spaces. If they add more service bays they will use their
internal parking spaces and will then need an additional 28 spaces.
Baker asked if the parking requirements are based on the number of employees or if
they are based on the size of the building. Zimmerman stated the parking requirements
are based on the use and size of the building.
Segelbaum questioned if additional parking spaces are needed if they would be normal
sized stalls. Zimmerman said the indoor parking spaces could be smaller, but the
outside spaces would be the required size.
Segelbaum asked if the parking requirement for office space of 1 space per 250 square
feet was modified as part of the recently amended parking language in the Zoning
Code. Zimmerman said no.

Segelbaum asked if there are any concerns about internal circulation or with vehicles
delivering cars to this site. Zimmerman stated that staff is comfortable with the internal
circulation. He added that large trucks will deliver vehicles, but the individual vehicles
will then be driven to the retail lot.
Blum referred to the existing service bays on the west side of the building and said that
is where deliveries would most likely occur and questioned if additional parking would
be added to the north and east sides of the property. Zimmerman said generally the
additional parking would be behind the building and more to the west. He said the
applicant won't need to pave any additional areas, they would just need to re-stripe the
existing lot.
Waldhauser asked if the Police Department will be reviewing the proposed plans for
adequate safety because there could be issues with the vehicles sitting outside.
Zimmerman said he would review the plans with the Police Department before this item
goes to the City Council for review.
Segelbaum asked if the site will have to be brought into compliance with the lighting
requirements or if the lighting is grandfathered in. Zimmerman said it depends on the
proposed lighting plan and how much of the lighting is proposed to be changed.
Johnson asked Zimmerman if he anticipates any new findings during the permitting
process. Zimmerman said there won't be any new findings related to zoning. He added
that the permitting process will address issues with the building and construction.
Linda McGinty, Vice President of Real Estate, Luther Automotive, said they own Rudy
Luther Toyota on 1-394 which is a very busy site and is creating the need for expansion
to another site. She stated that the proposed new site will work well with the multiple
uses they need and at some point they will probably expand on the vacant property to
the west. She referred to a raised dock area along the west side of the building and said
they aren't ready to take that out yet, but there are trench drains they will have to re-
work and they will be addressing the make-up air system and bringing it up to code. She
discussed the exterior lighting for the site and said it is different than a retail property,
but they will probably redo the exterior lights and upgrade them to more efficient
lighting.
Baker questioned if the area isn't lit, how they will deal with security. McGinty said their
long range plan is to expand parking and storage to the west and that they will add
fencing, a gate, and lighting at that time.
Baker asked if this location will serve all of the Luther businesses or just the Rudy
Luther Toyota business. McGinty said it will serve just the Rudy Luther Toyota location.
Segelbaum asked if existing employees will be relocated to this location of if they will be
hiring new employees. McGinty said there will be a combination of both existing and
new employees.

Segelbaum asked for more details regarding the proposed conference center. McGinty
said they have a training center at their St. Louis Park office and they are close to
needing a larger conference center/training space. Segelbaum asked if the IT
Department and call center are currently located in St. Louis Park. McGinty said yes.
Blum asked how many new jobs will be created. McGinty said she doesn't know yet.
She stated that they currently have eight marketing employees and they are expecting
to have 15 to 20 and the call center currently employs 40 and they hope to expand that
in the future as well. She added that they might also use the vacant parcel to the west to
accommodate additional employee parking.
Waldhauser asked if the rail line to the north could be used for deliveries. McGinty said
no and stated that the manufacturer has very specific requirements for deliveries that
they can't change. She stated that currently all the transport trucks come to the store
and that they would now come to this proposed location.
Segelbaum asked if any enhancements or amenities are being added. McGinty said the
current building is predominately warehouse and they will be creating some Class A
office space. She said they haven't decided on the landscaping plans yet but they are
currently working with designers and architects on enhancements to the property.
Johnson asked for more information regarding the service bay doors and the partition
between the service area and the parking area. McGinty said there is a wall that
separates the docks and the parking area and there won't be any cross traffic. She said
they will also be segregating the separate areas. She explained that originally they were
considering using the entire space for servicing vehicles but they have decided to leave
the dock and service bay area for now, but replace the old service bay doors.
Segelbaum asked about the typical truck traffic coming in and out of the site. McGinty
said there isn't a typical day. Some days there are three transports dropping off vehicles
and some days there are none. It is based on inventory and the manufacturer timing.
Baker asked how the vehicles would be transported from this location to the store.
McGinty said they would be driven individually by employees.
Waldhauser asked McGinty if she would have any issues with an added condition
stating that the site will only service the dealer's vehicles. McGinty stated that this site
will not be used for retail and they are not setting it up for that type of environment.
Segelbaum opened the public hearing.
Steve Legatt, 9100 10th Avenue North, said he has no objections to the proposed use,
but he is curious about the plans for the vacant lot to the west.
Baker asked Legatt the nature of his business. Legatt said he owns a painting business
and leases space to a granite business. He asked if there would be overflow parking on
the vacant lot because he operates a paint booth so he is concerned about fumes or
overspray and the impact that might have on cars parked nearby.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
December 28, 2015
Page 5
Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to comment, Segelbaum closed the public
hearing.
Baker said he would be interesting in knowing if there will be an impact on cars parked
near paint and fumes. Segelbaum questioned if other industrial uses could occur on the
vacant lot. Zimmerman said yes, there could be outdoor storage or anything else
allowed in the Industrial Zoning District. McGinty said she doesn't think there will be any
issues regarding the use of a paint booth at the business next door.
Segelbaum referred to Zimmerman's proposed additional condition regarding parking
and to Waldhauser's suggested condition regarding limiting service to a non-retail use
and asked the Commissioners if they had any thoughts about them.
Johnson referred to the second finding regarding the increase in jobs and the tax base
and suggested that the information be quantified or removed. Blum stated that the
applicant has suggested that the marketing and call center functions will be expanded
so he thinks the finding regarding the increase in jobs and the tax base is appropriate.
Zimmerman agreed that they are adding the opportunity for growth, even though they
don't know the exact number of new jobs at this point.
Segelbaum asked if there are MPCA air quality requirements. Zimmerman said the
building permit process would address issues like that.
Blum said he is in favor of the proposal and of the two additional conditions. He
highlighted that the planned lighting, if expanded, will be more efficient and he thinks it
is positive that there will be no additional impervious surface and that the upgrading of
their existing drainage infrastructure is also another positive aspect of this proposal.
Segelbaum agreed.
Waldhauser clarified that her suggested condition would be to add that approval is
subject to only dealer-owned vehicles being serviced at this location. Segelbaum said
he thought the concern was about generating retail sales traffic. Waldhauser agreed
and said she views this proposal as a service center and not a retail service center. She
noted that if a facility is for the general public there are concerns about getting people in
and out safely, sidewalks, striping, etc. She asked the applicant to clarify their intent.
McGinty said their intent is to not make this an environment that customers come to in
order to purchase services. She said it may become an outlet where customer's
vehicles are brought to this location to be serviced and then brought back to the store,
so she would not like limitations regarding servicing only dealer-owned vehicles and she
would like flexibility to be able to bring customer-owned vehicles to this location for
service. Baker said he doesn't feel like this location needs to be restricted and that it is
reasonable to process new vehicles or service customer vehicles as long as it is not a
retail sales location. He added that if the use results in retail traffic then he thinks the
Conditional Use Permit would need to be amended. Zimmerman agreed that if the plans
regarding the use of the property change the applicant would have to come back to the
City to amend their Conditional Use Permit.

MOVED by Baker, seconded by Blum and motion carried unanimously to recommend
approval of a Conditional Use Permit at 9000 10th Avenue North to allow for an auto
repair use in the Industrial Zoning District subject to the following findings and
conditions:
Findings:
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: Moving the company's internal new
vehicle prep and pre-owned vehicle reconditioning operations to this location would
free up space at Luther's current facility. It would also eliminate the need for large
transport vehicles to drop off at the main store.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The automobile repair use, in
conjunction with the other uses being proposed, is consistent with the goal of
locating redevelopment along major corridors and increasing the job and tax base
within the community. The property is designated for Industrial use on the General
Land Use Plan Map.
3. Effect on Property Values: Staff anticipates the new use would have no impact on
the surrounding property values and is isolated from any residential neighborhoods.
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of trips associated with the proposed use is minimal,
as the automobile repair being proposed is not a retail use but for internal company
use only. Staff does not expect any negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposed uses may generate
a minor increase in the number of employees at the location compared to the current
uses, but will likely be fewer than the previous use of Gopher News operations.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause a
significant increase in noise levels. Automobile repair will take place during normal
work hours and on the west side of the building, which faces a vacant lot.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause
an increase in dust or odor. Minimal vibrations may be associated with the use but
should not impact any adjacent uses.
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: Five windows will be added to the building. Staff does not anticipate
a change in the visual quality of the property from the automobile repair use.
10.Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other
negative effects of the proposed use. The location is an industrial property with
adequate parking.
Conditions:
1. The plans by submitted by the applicant on November 25, 2015, shall become a part
of this approval.
2. All vehicle deliveries shall take place on-site and shall not take place on the street.
3. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
4. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations,
or laws with authority over this development.
5. An additional 7 service bays may be constructed, for a total of 16, as shown on the plans
dated November 25, 2015. In the event these are added, 28 additional parking spaces
must be made available for employees.

Subject: Informal Public Hearing—Conditional Use Permit (CUP-143) to Allow for
Automobile Repair in an Industrial Zoning District at 9000 10th Avenue North
— Motors Management Corp., Applicant
Background and Proposed Use
Luther Automotive is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow automobile repair in
an Industrial Zoning District at 9000 10th Avenue North. The property in question is zoned
Industrial and designated Industrial on the General Land Use Plan Map. It is bounded to the south
by 10th Avenue and to the north by the Union Pacific railroad. Industrial and Light Industrial uses
are located on the surrounding properties.
Luther purchased this 8.36 acre parcel as well as the adjacent 4.25 acre parcel to the west earlier
in 2015. There is an existing building on the 9000 property which used to house the office and
production equipment for Gopher News. The property to the west is vacant with a lawn to the
south along 10th Avenue and a wooded area to the north.
The building is currently leased to a handful of tenants but would be emptied in anticipation of
the new uses being proposed by Luther. The applicant intends to renovate the building for an
automobile repair area, offices, and warehouse space, including a call center, conference center,
I.T. department, and indoor storage of automobiles. Future outdoor storage of dealership
inventory is also anticipated at this site.
Aside from the automobile repair use, all other uses are permitted uses and require no review or
approval by the Planning Commission or City Council. Other zoning issues, such as setbacks,
landscaping and screening, and the number of required parking stalls, will be evaluated by staff
as part of the review for building permits.

9000 10th Ave N - Site Map
The narrative and site plans originally submitted by the applicant indicated there would be 16
service bays utilized on the west side of the building-9 existing and 7 new. Since that time, the
applicant has decided to wait with the installation of the new bays and only utilize the existing 9
service bays for now. This reduces the number of required parking spaces compared to what was
originally anticipated in the application.
The amount of parking required on the site is determined by the mix and size of proposed uses in
the building:
9 automobile repair bays @ 4 spaces each 36
43,443 sq. ft. warehouse @ 1 space per 3,000 sq. ft. 15
26,270 sq. ft. office @ 1 space per 250 sq. ft. 105
156 spaces required
There are 70 parking spaces currently on-site and the capacity to restripe the remaining parking
area to add 90 more spaces for a total of 160. The applicant's plans for indoor storage anticipate
up to 152 cars could be parked inside the building. No additional paving or impervious surfaces
are necessary to accommodate the minimum parking required by code.
The applicant is also working to evaluate if the existing service doors will remain or if some may
be able to be removed as part of the renovations. No new service doors will be constructed. Five
new windows will be added to the north side of the building in the call center area.
Hours of operation for the automobile repair use are anticipated to be 7 am to 5 pm Monday
thru Friday and 8 am to 4:30 pm on Saturdays. Eight to ten employees will be on site servicing
approximately 50 vehicles per day. With other employees at the call center and office areas on-
site, the typical number of total workers in the building in anticipated to be roughly 55.
Evaluation
The findings and recommendations for a Conditional Use Permit are based upon any or all of the
following factors:
1. Demonstrated Need for the Proposed Use: Moving the company's internal new vehicle prep
and pre-owned vehicle reconditioning operations to this location would free up space at
Luther's current facility. It would also eliminate the need for large transport vehicles to drop
off at the main store.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan: The automobile repair use, in conjunction with
the other uses being proposed, is consistent with the goal of locating redevelopment along
major corridors and increasing the job and tax base within the community. The property is
designated for Industrial use on the General Land Use Plan Map.
3. Effect on Property Values: Staff anticipates the new use would have no impact on the
surrounding property values and is isolated from any residential neighborhoods.
4. Effect on Traffic: The number of trips associated with the proposed use is minimal, as the
automobile repair being proposed is not a retail use but for internal company use only. Staff
does not expect any negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas.
5. Effect of Increases in Population and Density: The proposed uses may generate a minor
increase in the number of employees at the location compared to the current uses, but will
likely be fewer than the previous use of Gopher News operations.
6. Increase in Noise Levels: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause a significant increase in
noise levels. Automobile repair will take place during normal work hours and on the west side
of the building, which faces a vacant lot.
7. Impact of Dust, Odor, or Vibration: The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase
in dust or odor. Minimal vibrations may be associated with the use but should not impact any
adjacent uses.
8. Impact of Pests: The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Visual Impact: Five windows will be added to the building. Staff does not anticipate a change
in the visual quality of the property from the automobile repair use.
10. Other Impacts to the City and Residents: Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects
of the proposed use. The location is an industrial property with adequate parking.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of Conditional Use Permit 143 allowing for accessory an auto repair
use at 9000 10th Avenue North. The approval of a Conditional Use Permit is subject to the
following conditions:
1. The plans by submitted by the applicant on November 25, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
2. All vehicle deliveries shall take place on-site and shall not take place on the street.
3. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
4. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or laws
with authority over this development.

vehicles will be serviced per day. This site will strictly only provide service to newly arrived inventory and
pre-owned vehicles either obtained through trades or from auction. In addition to prep and reconditioning
we plan to detail vehicles and provide parts storage. This is not a retail facility-strictly internal use only, so
no customers will be dropping off or picking up vehicles at 9000 10th Ave. North.
We are proposing the use of 16 service bays to allow for automobile repair on-site. There are currently 12
service doors on the west side of the building. The Luther Company, LLLP is proposing to remove 10
overhead doors and install one new overhead doors on the northwest end of the building. The two
remaining overhead doors will be at the southwest corner of the building. The overhead doors on the
northeast of the building will remain. The exterior lighting will also remain the same.
The Luther Company, LLLP, intends to use the building for offices, a call center, conference rooms,
warehouse, interior parking and an automobile repair shop with service bays. The total square footage of
the building is 89,876. Warehouse will consume 43,443 square feet of the building and 26,270 square
feet will be office space. The remaining 20,163 square feet is proposed for an automobile repair shop use
with service bays.
Parking
Section 11.70 of the City Code requires a total of 186 parking stalls for all of the planned uses in the
building. The automobile repair shop use requires four spaces for each service bay, equaling 64 parking
spaces for the 16 service bays. The site currently has 70 parking spaces on-site and meets this
requirement. We believe that the existing parking is adequate to serve the automobile repair shop use as
currently proposed. We have prepared a proof of parking for the ultimate build-out to show the 184
LUT15030 L A N D F O R M November 25,2015
Project Narrative 2
required parking spaces by restriping the existing parking lot to provide 90 additional spaces. The
applicant will accommodate the remainder of the required parking with 24 stalls within the building.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
We are requesting City approval for a conditional use permit to allow automobile repair shop use in the
Industrial Zoning District. The related warehouse, manufacturing and office uses are permitted in the
Industrial Zoning District. We have reviewed the City Code, the 2008-2018 Comprehensive Plan and
other City policies and believe the proposal is consistent with all City requirements.
The property is zoned Industrial, which allows automobile repair shops as a conditional use subject to the
conditions outlined in Section 11.80 in the City Code Specifically:
1. Demonstrated need for the purposed use.
To meet the demands of our growing retail service business, we would like to move our internal
new vehicle prep and pre-owned vehicle-reconditioning operations to 9000 10th Ave. North. This
would free up stalls in our current facility to manage this demand. It will also allow for significantly
better circulation on the current site because all deliveries of new and pre-owned vehicles will
occur at the 9000 10th Ave. location. No large semi-sized transport vehicles will be dropping off at
the main store.
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The use of an automobile repair shop is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Allowing an
automobile repair shop in the Industrial District will support corporate and industrial growth
opportunities while maintaining the integrity of residential neighborhoods. The proposal is
consistent with Goal 2 of the Land Use Plan of the Comprehensive Plan to protect and respect
traditional neighborhoods. The use is consistent with Goal 3 of the Land Use Plan to
redevelopment along major corridors and increase jobs and tax base within the community. The
proposal is also consistent with Goal 6 of the Comprehensive Plan to support private
redevelopment that is compatible with the City's land use plan map and policies.
3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area.
There is no effect on the property values of the neighboring area. The use is consistent with the
purpose of the Industrial Zoning District; to provide for the establishment of industrial and
manufacturing development and uses along with directly related and complementary uses that,
because of the nature of the product or character of activity, require isolation from residential and
LUT15030 L A N D F O R M November 25,2015
Project Narrative 3
commercial areas. Automobile repair shop is compatible with similar operations of permitted uses
in the Industrial Zoning District, such as manufacturing, fabrication, tire service and warehouses.
4. Effect of any anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow and congestion in the area.
The use of an automobile repair shop will generate traffic similar to many of the permitted uses in
the Industrial District. This is not a retail facility-strictly internal use only, so no customers will be
dropping off or picking up vehicles at 9000 10th Ave. North. It is expected that the increase in
traffic generation will be minimal and not affect the current traffic flows or cause congestion in the
area.
5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land uses.
An automobile repair shop will not increase the population or density of the surrounding land
uses. This type of use is not residential and does not require increased City services. The traffic
generated in the area will be similar to surrounding uses and lower than the prior Gopher News
operations.
6. Increase in noise levels to be caused by the proposed use.
The increase in noise level will be minimal and will only reach the extent of the area of the use
within the building.Automobile repair shop use require machinery that will increase the noise
level but it is not expected to impact neighboring properties because the service areas will be
situated towards the north and west of the building. The adjacent property to the west is currently
vacant and the north side of the property abuts the Union Pacific Railroad. The increased noise
level will occur between normal business hours and weekends and will not disturb the other uses
within the building or the surrounding buildings.
7. Any odors, dust, smoke, gas or vibration to be caused by the proposed use.
No odors, dust or smoke will be caused by the proposed use. The use will cause minimal
vibration that will not reach other uses within the building or adjacent properties. Automobile
repair shops use fluids during the repair and maintenance of vehicles. The fluids will be contained
and disposed of according to industry standards, and will not affect neighboring properties or the
health, safety and welfare of the community.
LUT15030 L A N D F 0 R M November 25,2015
Project Narrative 4
8. Any increase in flies, rats, or other animals or vermin in the area to be caused by the proposed
use.
There will be no increase in flies, rats or other animals or vermin in the area due to an automobile
repair shop.
9. Visual appearance of any proposed structure or use.
The visual appearance of the current structure will be altered slightly with the addition of a service
doors and five windows facing north. The exterior appearance of the structure will be similar to
the existing exterior appearance.
10. Any other effect upon the general public health, safety and welfare of the City and its residents.
There are no other effects of an automobile repair shop in the Industrial Zoning District upon the
general public health, safety and welfare of the City of Golden Valley and its residents.
SUMMARY
We respectfully request approval of the conditional use permit to allow automobile repair shop at 9000 loin
Avenue North. The proposed use is complementary to the permitted use of warehouse and office in the
Industrial District. The application complies with all ordinance requirements. We are requesting that this
item be placed on the December 28, 2015 Planning Commission meeting and the January 5, 2016 City
Council meeting.

ORDINANCE NO. 588, 2ND SERIES
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE
Approval of Conditional Use Permit Number 143
9000 10th Avenue North
Motors Management Corp. (Luther), Applicant
The City Council for the City of Golden Valley hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1. City Code Chapter 11 entitled "Land Use Regulations (Zoning)" is
amended in Section 11.10, Subd. 2, and Section 11.36, by approving a Conditional Use
Permit for a certain tract of land at 9000 10th Avenue North, thereby allowing automobile
installation/repair in the Industrial Zoning District.
This Conditional Use Permit is approved based on the findings of the Planning
Commission pursuant to City Code Section 11.80, Subd. 2(G), which findings are hereby
adopted and incorporated herein as follows:
1. The applicant has demonstrated that there is a need for the proposed use. Moving the
company's internal new vehicle prep and pre-owned vehicle reconditioning operations
to this location would free up space at Luther's current facility. It would also eliminate
the need for large transport vehicles to drop off at the main store.
2. The proposed automobile repair use, in conjunction with the other uses being proposed
is consistent with the goal of locating redevelopment along major corridors and
providing opportunities to increase the job and tax base within the community. The
property is designated for Industrial use on the General Land Use Plan Map.
3. Staff anticipates that this use would have no negative impact on the surrounding
property values and is isolated from any residential neighborhoods.
4. The number of trips associated with the proposed use is minimal as the automobile
repair being proposed is not a retail use but for internal company use one. Staff does
not expect any negative traffic impacts to the surrounding areas.
5. The proposed uses may generate a minor increase in the number of employees at the
location compared to the current use, but will likely be fewer than the previous use of
Gopher News operations.
6. The proposed use is not anticipated to cause a significant increase in noise levels.
7. The proposed use is not anticipated to cause an increase in dust, odor, or vibrations.
8. The proposed use is not anticipated to attract pests.
9. Staff does not anticipate a change in the visual quality of the property from the
automobile repair use.
10. Staff does not anticipate any other negative effects of the proposed use. The location is
industrial property with adequate parking.
This Conditional Use Permit is subject to all of the terms of the permit to be issued
including, but not limited to the following specific conditions:
1. The plans submitted by the applicant on November 25, 2015, shall become a part of this
approval.
2. An additional 7 service bays may be constructed, for a total of 16, as shown on the
plans dated November 25, 2015. In the event these are added, 28 additional parking
spaces must be made available for employees.
Ordinance No. 588 -2- January 20, 2016
3. All vehicle deliveries shall take place on-site and shall not take place on the street.
4. The approved use does not include a retail customer component. Retail servicing of
vehicles may occur on-site, but all retail customer transactions-including drop-off and
pick-up-shall occur off-site.
5. All signage must meet the requirements of the City's Sign Code (Section 4.20).
6. This approval is subject to all other state, federal, and local ordinances, regulations, or
laws with authority over this development.
Section 2. The tract of land affected by this ordinance is legally described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 1, Golden Valley Industrial Park, 2nd Addition
(Torrens Property, Certificate of Title No. 1387573)
Section 3. City Code Chapter 1 entitled "General Provisions and Definitions
Applicable to the Entire City Code Including Penalty for Violation" and Sec. 11.99 entitled
"Violation a Misdemeanor" are hereby adopted in their entirety, by reference, as though
repeated verbatim herein.
Section 4. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and publication
as required by law.
Adopted by the City Council this 20th day of January, 2016.

Executive Summary For Action
Golden Valley City Council Meeting
January 20, 2016
Agenda Item
6. A. First Consideration -Amending Section 4.20: Sign Permits and Regulations regarding
Temporary Signs, Banners and Inflatables
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
The City has historically utilized fairly stringent requirements for both permanent and temporary
signage. Because signage is regulated outside of the Zoning Code, requests for consideration of
variances from the code requirements are not possible. Recent conversations have led staff to
propose modifications to the Sign Code which would allow a greater degree of flexibility under
certain conditions.
Temporary signage currently has two main limitations. First, in most non-residential zoning districts
the size of the temporary sign is limited to 75% of the amount of permanent signage permitted.
Second, the maximum duration for display of temporary signage is limited to 30 days in a calendar
year.
The proposal under consideration would, with some caveats, give the City Manager or his/her
designee the ability to grant exceptions to these two limitations and allow temporary signage to be
larger and/or displayed for longer than what is currently allowed by code. This would give the City
the flexibility to accommodate special events or circumstances when appropriate.
Staff has drafted language that increases the maximum size of temporary signage to 150% of the
amount of permanent signage permitted, or twice the amount of temporary signage that is
typically allowed. It also increases the maximum duration of display to 365 days.
Certain other criteria must be met for a special temporary sign permit to be granted:
1. The reason for and the duration of the signage shall be an event of significant interest or
benefit to the City, its history, or culture;
2. The signage shall not be allowed in residential-zoned properties;
3. The signage shall not be allowed on properties less than 10 acres in size; and
4. The signage and its duration shall not adversely affect neighboring properties.
After reviewing the current code with the Inspections Division, staff is also recommending
modifying the language that sets the maximum duration for temporary signage. Instead of using 30
days, staff prefers to use one month. Also, rather than limiting the use of temporary signage to
three occurrences, staff recommends increasing the number to four. This aligns more closely with
the typical temporary signage requests which tend to be by the week or by the month, but does
not increase the overall duration. This also aligns better with temporary permit fees, which are
charged by the week or by the month.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
January 20, 2016
Agenda Item
6. C. METRO Blue Line Extension Update
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
With the approval by the Metropolitan Council of the revised project scope and cost estimate in
December of 2015, the biweekly Issue Resolution Team meetings have transitioned to Design
Resolution Team meetings and will continue throughout 2016 to address a number of items
related to the light rail project.
In December and January, staff reviewed possible park and ride design options, new trail
connections at the Golden Valley Road and Plymouth Avenue stations, and potential
improvements to the Golden Valley Road and Theodore Wirth Parkway intersection. As these
concepts advance, plans will be presented at the Technical Project Advisory Committee (TPAC),
Community Advisory Committee (CAC), and Business Advisory Committee (BAC) before being
reviewed by the Corridor Management Commission (CMC).
Staff has been directed to prepare a letter to officials at Hennepin County, MnDOT, Metro
Transit, and the Metropolitan Council that outlines the City's interests in continuing to pursue
additional improvements to the transit and transportation network in Golden Valley, including
the infrastructure of Golden Valley Road, improved bus connections to the proposed Golden
Valley Road station, and future Highway Bus Rapid Transit service along Highway 55. If approved
by the City Council, the letter would be submitted to the various agencies prior to the City's
Municipal Consent vote on February 16.
Staff for the Hennepin County Community Works Steering Committee have expressed interest in
the contents of this letter and have indicated it could serve as a basis for future conversations
regarding Community Works projects associated with the METRO Blue Line Extension.
The Sochacki Park Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) Partnership has been working closely with the
Bottineau Project Office to arrive at a list of recommended actions to provide for mitigation and
compensation for the use of Sochacki Park for construction staging as part of the light rail project.
These actions are still being negotiated and a final determination will be considered at the
Sochacki Park JPA Partnership Governance Board meeting on February 8 and will be used as a
basis for broader policies regarding construction staging in Sochacki Park.

Chair Dunnick, General Manager Lamb, Commissioner Zelle, and Chair Callison;
As plans for the proposed METRO Blue Line Extension Project move through the Municipal
Consent process, the City of Golden Valley would like to reiterate its interest in complementing
the region's significant light rail investment with targeted opportunities to plan for and
construct additional transit connections within the community in the coming years.
First, the City expects increased use of Golden Valley Road from Highway 100 to the City of
Minneapolis limits. As the primary means of access to the new light rail station, this poses
challenges to those living, working, and moving along the corridor. Opportunities to
accommodate multi-modal transportation and support it via updates to land uses adjacent to
the right-of-way should be accomplished through careful planning and infrastructure
improvements in conjunction with Hennepin County and Metro Transit. The City anticipates
that a future Golden Valley Road station could become an important node in a multi-modal
network and that providing convenient trail connections would help support bicycle commuting
and recreational use.
As part of these efforts, and in addition to the already anticipated reexamination of the bus
routes that currently serve the area prior to Opening Day of the Blue Line Extension, the City
believes that there are opportunities to utilize enhanced transit options to connect the wider
community to the region through the light rail system. A local circulator that frequented the
area's major employers such as Honeywell, Tennant, and General Mills would not only be able
to deliver employees from the station, but could also serve residents in the western and central
parts of the City—including the downtown area—by shuttling them to the Golden Valley Road
station in a way that could help remove cars from the road.
Finally, Golden Valley—in conjunction with the City of Plymouth—continues to believe that
Highway BRT service on Highway 55 would be an effective complement to, and could help
augment ridership on, the Blue Line Extension which would primarily serve the northeast
corner of the City. A supplement to the Highway Transitway Corridor Study conducted in 2014-
15 gave a Highway 55 BRT line a high rating and indicated it compared favorably with other
possible Highway BRT corridors in the metro area. The opportunity to leverage new commercial
and residential projects along Highway 55 in Golden Valley and Plymouth aligns with the goals
and objectives of the 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. The City intends to continue to push for
the additional studies and eventual funding which would be necessary to advance and
implement the Highway BRT concept in this location.
The METRO Blue Line Extension will be an important catalyst for transit use in our community—
one currently dominated by automobiles. Multi-modal transportation along Golden Valley
Road, the introduction of a circulator to major employers, and the implementation of Highway
55 BRT would reduce traffic congestion, reduce parking demand at stations, and provide
transportation options for a greater number of community members. We look forward to
working with the Metropolitan Council, Metro Transit, MnDOT, and Hennepin County on these
projects in the future.
Respectfully,
Shepard Harris, Mayor

Proposed JPA Board Action
MOTION TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING POLICIES AS THEY RELATE TO THE
PROPOSED USE OF SOCHACKI PARK FOR CONSTRUCTION STAGING OF THE
BOTTINEAU LRT PROJECT BRIDGE OVER GRIMES POND:
Policy A: The use of Sochacki Park is proposed solely by the Bottineau Project Office
(BPO), and is being proposed only due to the lack of feasible alternatives.
Policy B: BPO must provide an opportunity for the public to provide input on visual
and sound screen options between Sochacki and the LRT corridor, including
vegetation, constructed (sound wall) or combination.
Policy C: The proposed boundaries of impact are as shown on Map Attachment A
(Note - this should also include the entire eastern boundary impact zone, denoted
separately on the map). Those boundaries within Robbinsdale may be adjusted at
the discretion of the City of Robbinsdale, and those boundaries within the City of
Golden Valley may be adjusted at the discretion of the City of Golden Valley.
Policy D: Any additional Golden Valley lands, including Bonnie Lane, may not be
used for LRT construction or construction access without prior notice, review and
formal approval by the City of Golden Valley.
Policy E: Sochacki will remain open for public use during LRT construction, and will
include contiguous and safe north/south travel by pedestrians and bicyclists through
the entire park.
Policy F: Six access sites from the interim trail to the area east of the construction
road will be provided as to allow public use of that area during construction.
Policy G: If the BPO uncovers any environmental contamination in its use of
Sochacki, the BPO is responsible for all required environmental remediation.
Policy H: Any areas that are disturbed by construction activities that are adjacent to
wetland and water bodies must be restored with native vegetation buffers meeting
the requirements of the Bassett Creek Watershed, the ]PA, and the respective cities.
Proposed JPA Board Action: Recommended Actions for equitable Use of Sochacki
MOTION TO RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING 16 ACTIONS TO PROVIDE MITIGATION
AND EQUITABLE COMPENSATION FOR THE USE OF SOCHACKI PARK FOR
CONSTRUCTION STAGING AND USE ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY:
1) Removal of all existing vegetation within the restoration zone, defined as A) the
southern construction staging area, and B) the northern staging area, as shown on
the map, blending into the adjacent disturbed areas in the NE quadrant of the park.
2) Removal of all surface rubble within the restoration zone, up to a depth of two feet.
3) Addition of clean top soil in a depth of 24 inches in the restoration zone.
4) Removal or replacement of the northern parking lot to be determined in consultation
with JPA staff.
5) In both staging areas, revegetation as determined through a revegetation plan
approved by the JPA Operations staff.
6) In the southern staging area, N. Rice Lake water edge restoration work and
vegetation plantings to provide learning opportunities for park users (design and
species TBD).
7) Reconstruction and expansion of the interior paved parking lot (exact site TBD in
consultation with JPA staff), to include room for a school bus turnaround.
8) Clearing, revegetation and fencing of an area immediately east and north of the
interior parking lot within the northern staging area for future use as a dog off leash
area.
9) Stubbing in sewer and drinking water from the Golden Valley city systems to a site
adjacent to the interior parking lot for future development of a bathroom/storm
shelter, and drinking water fountain.
10) Ground preparation for a future education shelter sized for 50 students in a location
TBD.
11) Restoration of the existing paved interior road to provide for safe two way traffic.
12) Redevelopment of a safe 10-foot wide paved trail through the length of the park,
running from the northern entrance to the current trail terminus by Bonnie Lane, and
then continuing on a boardwalk to the BPO-planned Wirth Trail connection and
underpass of Golden Valley Road; with restoration along the trail edge as needed.
13) Development of an ADA trail spur from the north/south trail to Culver Rd, needed to
provide local nonmotorized access to the LRT station, and to provide park access for
classes from Noble Elementary.
14) Installation of vegetation and/or constructed visual/sound barriers, as determined
through public process, along the entire eastern boundary of the park adjacent to the
RR and LRT corridor.
15) Construction of a water education platform on N Rice Lake
16) Ongoing collaboration with JPA staff to ensure that these recommendations are met in
such a way as to optimize the policies adopted by the JPA Board
