08.b3 Nickelson ZTA and CUPA - CC Packet 1 | P a g e Date of Meeting: April 15, 2025 To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council From: T.J. Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Unified Development Code Amendment for Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse and Conditional Use Permit Amendment for 11480 Scandia Trail North Applicant: Kevin Nickelson Zoning: RR-G and SM-O Owner: Kevin and Suzanne Nickelson Future Land Use: General Rural Location: PID: 1703220330006 and 1703220320006 11480 Scandia Trail North, Scandia, MN 55073 Review Deadline April 28, 2025 The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Unified Development Code (UDC) regarding the Use Specific Performance standards established in 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N) for Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse uses. The applicant is also requesting the existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the site be amended to reflect the standards requested for the text amendment to 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N). The staff report to the Planning Commission from the April 1, 2025, meeting is attached and includes the background of the request as well as an analysis based on the standards in the Unified Development Code. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Zoning Text Amendment The applicant has requested that there be a number of changes to the standards for “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse” uses. Any person owning real estate within the City may 2 | P a g e initiate a request to amend the text of this Chapter or the district boundaries of the Official Zoning Map as it affects that real estate. The applicant has provided the following high level suggestions to the standards in 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N): Expand standards & use of golf driving range to allow: • Practice golf holes • Simulators • More than one building • Larger buildings • Netting • Sale of alcoholic beverages • More hitting stations • Numbered signs (within the hitting area of the driving range) • Lighting • Some food prep • Residence In reviewing a request for a zoning amendment, the City Council is asked to consider two aspects: I. The City Council and Planning Commission shall consider possible effects of the proposed Zoning or Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application. Its judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: a. The specific policies and provisions of the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. b. Whether the proposed action meets the purpose and intent of this Chapter or in the case of a map amendment, it meets the purpose and intent of the individual Base Zoning District. The “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse” use is allowed as a conditional use in the Agricultural Core and Rural Residential General zoning districts. These districts have the following purpose statements in 153.200: Purpose of Agricultural Core District (AG-C). Lands zoned Agricultural Core support, protect and preserve land for agricultural production. The parcels and lots generally contain principal homestead or farmstead uses with a mix of hobby farms, commercial production farms and other agricultural uses. The lands zoned AG-C are guided Agricultural Core in the Comprehensive Plan. Purpose of Rural Residential General (RR-G). Lands zoned Rural Residential General (RR-G) are established to provide for principal residential use with estate or large-lot 3 | P a g e development patterns. The RR-G District includes lot or parcel configurations that are generally unplatted, including mostly non-riparian land. The RR-G District areas are guided General Rural in the Comprehensive Plan. Draft Ordinance - Section 1 The following standards are recommended by the Planning Commission. (N) Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Clubhouses. I. Golf course, driving ranges, clubhouses, and any other accessory uses shall conform with the required ADA standards. II. Golf Course Accessory Uses. Accessory uses to a golf course are limited to a driving range, putting greens, a pro shop, a clubhouse which may include golf simulators and internal hitting bays, locker rooms, a restaurant and bar, and maintenance buildings. III. Performance Standards. A golf course and its accessory uses must meet all of the following standards: a. Landscaping must be planted to buffer the use from adjacent residentially zoned or guided land. The landscape plan must comply with the standards established in Section 153.400.060 and must be reviewed and approved as part of the Conditional Use Permit. b. Storage and use of pesticides and fertilizers must meet the Minnesota Department of Agriculture standards and regulations. A plan must be submitted at the time of application for pesticide and fertilizer use at the facility. c. An environmental assessment worksheet may be required by the City for the development of a golf course facility. IV. Golf Driving Range. A golf driving range must meet all the following standards: a. The Minimum lot area for a driving range is 35 20 acres. The site must be large enough so that safety netting is not necessary. b. Netting and poles for netting is prohibited. c. Outdoor lighting is prohibited on the range of the driving range, miniature golf courses, and practice golf holes. Outdoor lighting allowed elsewhere on site, subject to the following conditions: No lighting is allowed except for security lighting i. All exterior lighting shall meet the standards identified in Section [153.400.030 and 153.400.040]. ii. The maximum height above the ground grade permitted for light sources mounted on a pole is 18 feet except by conditional use permit. A light source 4 | P a g e mounted on a building shall not exceed the height of the building and no light sources shall be located on the roof unless said light enhances the architectural features of the building and is approved by the Zoning Administrator. iii. Outdoor lighting that serves any part of the business that does not operate after dark shall be turned off one hour after closing except for approved security lighting. Lighting not related to the direct use of the driving range and for services offered after dark, may be utilized during the nighttime hours provided the business is open for service. Once the business closes, the outdoor lighting shall be turned off one hour after closing except for security lighting. d. A 150-foot setback from all property lines to the outer boundaries of the driving range fairway is required. e. A maximum number of 25 hitting tees are permitted shall be determined by the City Council. f. Up to three practice golf holes, including a tee box, fairway, and putting green, are allowed and must be located so as to not create a hazard when the driving range is in use and must be setback 150-feet setback from all property lines. g. Miniature golf holes or any other amusement type activities are allowedprohibited. h. Access shall be from a collector or arterial street. i. One office/storage building principle structure is permitted. The structure shall meet the setback requirements of the Base Zoning District in which it is located. The use of the structure shall be limited to only be for the golf driving range limited retail related to the driving range use, golf simulator bays, internal hitting bays, and food service and bar. j. Accessory structures are permitted according with the standards established in Section [153.200.030]. All accessory structures must be shown on a site plan for the use. The use of the accessory structure shall be limited to uses that are subordinate and incidental to the golf driving range use. k. A public address system is prohibited. l. No separate liquor license is permitted for a Driving Range. m. One business identification sign is allowed and must comply with the requirements established within Section [153.400.040 and Section 153.400.100]. n. Sanitary facilities must be provided or must be available to all customers at the golf course or clubhouse. 5 | P a g e o. No food preparation is permitted on site. p. The facility must be open-air. A domed or any other type of covered facility is prohibited. The recommended standards from the Planning Commission allows for the request from the applicant except for netting and a residence. The City of Scandia has a history of adopting standards to mitigate nuisances that disrupt or clutter scenic vistas and views. Any netting to meet the needs of the driving range use would likely need to substantially exceed the height limitations that the UDC sets for buildings and structures, aside from here they are related to uses such as church spires, chimneys, flag poles up to 45 feet in height, silos, and wind energy conversion systems. The applicant indicated during the Planning Commission meeting on April 1, 2025, that they believed that 45 ft. would be sufficient for their goals. The applicant has stated that they would like a “residence” to be allowed. To allow a principal dwelling unit of any kind would require a planned unit development as there would be a mix of principal dwellings and uses on the site. Accessory dwelling units are allowed through an administrative permit in all zoning districts currently and “Accessory Apartment to Commercial Use” is allowed as a CUP in the V-C, V-HC, R-C, and I-P districts. As this use is regulated elsewhere in the city, the code would need to be amended to allow “Accessory Apartment to Commercial Use” as a conditional use in the Agricultural Core zoning district. Additionally, “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” is not an allowed use in the AG-C zoning district. “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Clubhouses” are explicitly allowed in the AG-C and RR-G zoning districts, outside of the “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” use. The Planning Commission believed that there was not a sufficient rationale basis to set a static number of maximum hitting tees for a use and instead recommended it be determined by the City Council. The Council can move forward with this language, or, hitting tees could be unregulated by an amount and limited by the site. The code requires a setback of 150 feet for the golf driving range which creates a dimensional standard that limits a to a maximum number of hitting tees determined by the dimensions of the site, rather than a number determined by an approving entity. Draft Ordinance - Section 2 Table 153.400.080-1. Minimum Number of Parking Spaces Use Minimum Number of Spaces Required Golf Driving Range 1½ space per hitting station plus one for each employee on the maximum shift plus one additional space for each 150 s.f. of floor area. One additional space per hole is required for facilities that include miniature golf or practice golf holes. With new uses additional parking standards should be established. Staff reviewed other 6 | P a g e communities that allow miniature golf and consolidated the standards into the one space per hole for both the miniature golf use and practice golf holes. Conditional Use Permit The applicant is requesting to amend their existing CUP to be consistent with new standard proposed for the UDC. The request is generally consistent with the standards established in the UDC and the potential amendment detailed above. A site plan has not been reviewed as part of the CUP amendment. No significant changes in the circumstances or scope of the permitted use shall be undertaken without approval of those amendments by the City. The Zoning Administrator shall determine what constitutes significant change. Significant changes include, but are not limited to, hours of operation, number of employees, expansion of structures and/or premises, different and/or additional signage, and operational modifications resulting in increased external activities and traffic, and the like. A site plan will be required in the future for significant changes to the site that are allowed by the CUP amendment. ANALYSIS Review Comments The submittal was sent to city staff and other regulatory agencies for review and comment. Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District provided no comment. Department of Natural Resources The DNR Area Hydrologist provided no comment. Engineering Department The City Engineer had no comment. Fire Department The Fire Chief had no comment. Public Works Department The Public Works Director had no comment. 7 | P a g e Planning Commission The Planning Commission heard the application at the April 1, 2025, meeting. The Planning Commission opened the public hearing and the applicant and one other spoke in support of the applications. The Planning Commission then closed the public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the ordinance amendment. Discussion included the various uses to be allowed as part of the golf driving range use, lighting, setback requirements, the open- air requirements, the need for and allowance of netting, and hours of operation. The Planning Commission moved to recommend approval of both requests with five amendments. The motion was approved with a vote of 5-0. The amendments restricted exterior lighting on the site, changed the number of hitting tees to be determined by the City Council, allowed for internal hitting boxes for the driving range, added text to the limited retail description to include “related to the golf driving range use, and prohibited netting. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC. There are conditions and allowances that the applicant is requesting that may not meet the purpose and intent of the Agricultural Core zoning district. Staff believes that due to the amount of changing conditions, changes in legal descriptions, and updated PIDs, if the CUP Amendment is approved, it should be approved as a new document that replaces the previous CUP from 1999. Two requests from the applicant stand out as potential conflicts with the UDC goals, purpose, and intent: residences and netting. These have not been incorporated into the ordinance amendment. Residence Staff believes allowing an accessory dwelling unit for the site may be reasonable, however, the aspects of the code that need to be amended to do so may be unreasonable. Staff believes this would not be consistent with the purpose and intent of the Agricultural Core zoning district because the purpose of the district does not address commercial businesses and “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” is not an allowed use. “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Clubhouses” are explicitly allowed in the AG-C and RR-G zoning districts, outside of the “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” use. Netting Based on the standards adopted elsewhere in code that limit the location and heights of other poles, such as for solar energy systems and towers, the city may feel that it is not in the best interest of the City. If the City Council wishes for additional information regarding the necessary height for netting, staff can further research the use to identify these metrics. 8 | P a g e COUNCIL ACTION The City Council can do one of the following: 1. Approve, with or without conditions, of the attached resolution. 2. Deny, with findings, of the attached resolution. 3. Table the request for further review/study. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends approval of the request for a UDC text amendment regarding use specific performance standards for “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse.” The motion should include any amendments, approval includes an ordinance. Staff recommends approval of Resolution 04-15-25-03 and 04-15-25-04 approving summary publication and finding of facts for Ordinance 2025-04.

Steve Kronmiller, Mayor Kevin Nickelson, Owner Suzanne Nickelson, Owner ATTEST: Kyle Morell, City Administrator 1 | P a g e Date of Meeting: April 1, 2025 To: Chair Loeffler and Members of the Planning Commission From: T.J. Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: Unified Development Code Amendment for Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse and Conditional Use Permit Amendment for 11480 Scandia Trail North Applicant: Kevin Nickelson Zoning: RR-G and SM-O Owner: Kevin and Suzanne Nickelson Future Land Use: General Rural Location: PID: 1703220330006 and 1703220320006 11480 Scandia Trail North, Scandia, MN 55073 Review Deadline April 28, 2025 The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Unified Development Code (UDC) regarding the Use Specific Performance standards established in 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N) for Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse uses. The applicant is also requesting the existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the site be amended to reflect the standards requested for the text amendment to 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N). BACKGROUND The subject area is made up of two properties with PIDs 17.032.20.33.0006 (Parcel A) and 17.032.20.32.0006 (Parcel B). Both Parcel A and Parcel B (the subject parcels) are approximately 20.01 acres along Scandia Trail North and Parcel A has an existing golf driving range use on the property. The subject parcels are zoned as Rural Residential – General (RR-G), Parcel B is also within the Shoreland Management Overlay Parcel A Parcel B 2 | P a g e District (SM-O), and both parcels are guided as Agricultural Core. Lot Arrangement In May of 2024, staff approved an administrative permit for a lot line adjustment and lot consolidation for the two subject parcels as well as the properties with current PIDs 17.032.20.32.0005 (Parcel C), 17.032.20.33.0005 (Parcel D), and 18.032.20.44.0007 (Parcel E). At the time of approval, the five lots were four separate lots and were proposed to be adjusted and consolidated into three lots. Approval was given for the lot line adjustment based on the proposed conditions exhibit submitted with the application that showed a final result of three lots where four lots originally existed. At the time of approval, staff was unaware that parcels in different school districts could not be combined. Parcel B and Parcel C are located in the Chisago Lakes School District while Parcel A, D, and E are located in the Forest Lake School District. Staff have taken actions to ensure this does not happen in the future by having the city’s GIS system updated to include school district layers. Parcel A Parcel B Parcel E Parcel D Parcel C 3 | P a g e Washington County recorded the new lot lines without the combination shown on the proposed exhibit. Staff identified at the end of 2024 and reached out to the applicant to understand why the parcels had not been combined and to rectify the issue. The lots cannot be allowed to remain as they are currently orientated without a Minor Subdivision and the Council approving the exception to minimum frontage on a public road established in 153.200.030 Subd. 1 (A) I. B. i., however, many of the requirements for the exception do not apply to these parcels. At this time, the apparent solution to the issue is the combination of Parcel B and Parcel C. The current arrangement of the lots also creates an issue with the existing CUP for the driving range. The CUP and the standards in 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N) require a minimum of 35 acres for the use. Existing Conditional Use Permit A conditional use permit was used by Washington County in 1999 for property legally described as “PART OF LOT 17, 18 AND 19 SECTION 17, T32N, R20W,” that allowed for the golf driving range with special conditions. The special conditions can be found in the attached CUP from May 25, 1999. These included conditions to be met as part of the construction and establishment of the driving range, but also ongoing operational constraints such as: 13. A separate 35 acre parcel must be recorded, encompassing the driving range. 14. Hours - 7A.M. to dusk. 15. Lighting - No lighting except security lighting is permitted. All exterior lighting must be approved by staff. 16. A highway access permit must be obtained from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and submitted to Washington County. 17. Miniature golf holes or any other amusement type activities are prohibited. 18. A public address system is prohibited. 19. No liquor license will be permitted. 20. There shall be no food preparation on site. 21. The facility is to be an open air type facility. A domed or any other type of covered facility is prohibited. 22. Flags must be used for yardage markers. Signs or any other yardage or target markers are prohibited 23 conditions were added to the permit, many of which seem to be the basis for the standards that the city currently has established in 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N). As noted above, the existing use is not compliant with condition 13, however, this noncompliance was created in error that 4 | P a g e appears to be unknown to both the applicant and city when the noncompliance was created. The use has otherwise been in good standing for the duration of the use and the City has not received any complaints regarding the use in the last five years. EVALUATION OF REQUEST Zoning Text Amendment The applicant has requested that there be a number of changes to the standards for “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse” uses. Any person owning real estate within the City may initiate a request to amend the text of this Chapter or the district boundaries of the Official Zoning Map as it affects that real estate. The applicant has provided the following high level suggestions to the standards in 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N): Expand standards & use of golf driving range to allow: • Practice golf holes • Simulators • More than one building • Larger buildings • Netting • Sale of alcoholic beverages • More hitting stations • Numbered signs (within the hitting area of the driving range) • Lighting • Some food prep • Residence In reviewing a request for a zoning amendment, the Planning Commission is asked to consider two aspects: I. The City Council and Planning Commission shall consider possible effects of the proposed Zoning or Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application. Its judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: a. The specific policies and provisions of the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. b. Whether the proposed action meets the purpose and intent of this Chapter or in the case of a map amendment, it meets the purpose and intent of the individual Base Zoning District. 5 | P a g e The “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse” use is allowed as a conditional use in the Agricultural Core and Rural Residential General zoning districts. These districts have the following purpose statements in 153.200: Purpose of Agricultural Core District (AG-C). Lands zoned Agricultural Core support, protect and preserve land for agricultural production. The parcels and lots generally contain principal homestead or farmstead uses with a mix of hobby farms, commercial production farms and other agricultural uses. The lands zoned AG-C are guided Agricultural Core in the Comprehensive Plan. Purpose of Rural Residential General (RR-G). Lands zoned Rural Residential General (RR-G) are established to provide for principal residential use with estate or large-lot development patterns. The RR-G District includes lot or parcel configurations that are generally unplatted, including mostly non-riparian land. The RR-G District areas are guided General Rural in the Comprehensive Plan. Draft Ordinance - Section 1 Staff has taken the request from the applicant and drafted the following standards for consideration. (N) Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Clubhouses. I. Golf course, driving ranges, clubhouses, and any other accessory uses shall conform with the required ADA standards. Staff identified a potential need for accessibility standard conformance late in the review process. The Building Official has been contacted and is reviewing the Accessibility Code to confirm what improvements or standards may be needed II. Golf Course Accessory Uses. Accessory uses to a golf course are limited to a driving range, putting greens, a pro shop, a clubhouse which may include golf simulators, locker rooms, a restaurant and bar, and maintenance buildings. The inclusion of golf simulators has no impact on the intensity of the use aside from the potential for additional traffic being generated to the site. Golf driving ranges currently require the following parking spaces: 1½ spaces per hitting station plus one for each employee on the maximum shift. This standard could be adjusted to include a standard for simulators. The most similar use to this established in the code would be either sports and fitness clubs, which require 1 space for each 200 square feet of floor area, or bowling alleys, which require 6 spaces for each alley, plus additional spaces as may be required for related uses such as a restaurant. Additional information from the applicant to understand the capacity of a typical simulator may be helpful in establishing the required parking standards. The applicant has stated that they would like a “residence” to be allowed. To allow a principal dwelling unit of any kind would require a planned unit development as there would be a mix of principal dwellings and uses on the site. Accessory dwelling units are allowed through an 6 | P a g e administrative permit in all zoning districts currently and “Accessory Apartment to Commercial Use” is allowed as a CUP in the V-C, V-HC, R-C, and I-P districts. As this use is regulated elsewhere in the city, the code would need to be amended to allow “Accessory Apartment to Commercial Use” as a conditional use in the Agricultural Core zoning district. Additionally, “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” is not an allowed use in the AG-C zoning district. “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Clubhouses” are explicitly allowed in the AG-C and RR-G zoning districts, outside of the “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” use. III. Performance Standards. A golf course and its accessory uses must meet all of the following standards: a. Landscaping must be planted to buffer the use from adjacent residentially zoned or guided land. The landscape plan must comply with the standards established in Section 153.400.060 and must be reviewed and approved as part of the Conditional Use Permit. b. Storage and use of pesticides and fertilizers must meet the Minnesota Department of Agriculture standards and regulations. A plan must be submitted at the time of application for pesticide and fertilizer use at the facility. c. An environmental assessment worksheet may be required by the City for the development of a golf course facility. IV. Golf Driving Range. A golf driving range must meet all the following standards: a. The Minimum lot area for a driving range is 35 20 acres. The site must be large enough so that safety netting is not necessary. b. Netting and poles for netting is allowed up to ___ feet. The applicant did not indicate a desired height for netting. Reviewing online resources, netting appears to be suitable for uses between 45 feet and 200 feet. c. Outdoor lighting is allowed on site, subject to the following conditions: No lighting is allowed except for security lighting i. All exterior lighting shall meet the standards identified in Section [153.400.030 and 153.400.040]. ii. The maximum height above the ground grade permitted for light sources mounted on a pole is 18 feet except by conditional use permit. A light source mounted on a building shall not exceed the height of the building and no light sources shall be located on the roof unless said light enhances the architectural features of the building and is approved by the Zoning Administrator. 7 | P a g e iii. Outdoor lighting that serves any part of the business that does not operate after dark shall be turned off one hour after closing except for approved security lighting. Lighting not related to the direct use of the driving range and for services offered after dark, may be utilized during the nighttime hours provided the business is open for service. Once the business closes, the outdoor lighting shall be turned off one hour after closing except for security lighting. The applicant did not identify the type of lighting required. The standards established by the city in 153.400.030 and 153.400.040, require that lighting be shielded and limits lighting intensity. In the Village and Business districts of the city, additional restrictions are place on the height to poles to 18 feet except through a conditional use permit, and limits hours of use of the lighting to one hour after a business closes. Staff feels it would be reasonable to apply the same requirements for hours and height to this use. d. A 150-foot setback from all property lines to the outer boundaries of the driving range fairway is required. e. A maximum of 25 40 hitting tees are permitted. The applicant has not requested a specific number of hitting tees to be allowed. Staff is not aware of any ratio based on an aspect like lot size that can be used. Staff can further research potential standards. The Planning Commission should discuss what may be reasonable and ask the applicant for clarification. f. Up to three practice golf holes, including a tee box, fairway, and putting green, are allowed and must be located so as to not create a hazard when the driving range is in use and must be setback 150-feet setback from all property lines. g. Miniature golf holes or any other amusement type activities are allowedprohibited. The addition of practice golf holes and miniature golf holes are expansions of the existing use. Limiting the number of practice golf holes keep the use from functioning as a golf course. Additional parking standards will be required based on the additional uses. h. Access shall be from a collector or arterial street. i. One office/storage building principle structure is permitted. The structure shall meet the setback requirements of the Base Zoning District in which it is located. The use of the structure shall be limited to only be for the golf driving range limited retail, golf simulator bays, and food service and bar. j. Accessory structures are permitted according with the standards established in Section [153.200.030]. All accessory structures must be shown on a site plan for the use. The use of the accessory structure shall be limited to uses that are subordinate and incidental to the golf driving range use. 8 | P a g e The applicant has request for multiple structures to be allowed on the site. The city limits principal structures on a lot to a single principal structure. The city could amend the code to allow for accessory structures as part of the use. k. A public address system is prohibited. l. No separate liquor license is permitted for a Driving Range. m. One business identification sign is allowed and must comply with the requirements established within Section [153.400.040 and Section 153.400.100]. n. Sanitary facilities must be provided or must be available to all customers at the golf course or clubhouse. o. No food preparation is permitted on site. p. The facility must be open-air. A domed or any other type of covered facility is prohibited. When the UDC was adopted, the above standards were incorporated. The City Attorney has stated that as the applicant holds a CUP for the site now, the applicant is allowed to operate under less restrictive standards that have subsequently been adopted since the CUP was first issued. The CUP currently has a condition that states, “22. Flags must be used for yardage markers. Signs or any other yardage or target marker are prohibited.” The UDC does not currently contain a standard that restricts this, so the applicant is not required to meet this condition. Similarly, the current standards do not restrict the size of the building on the site. The current CUP sets a condition that limits the structure size to 600 sq. ft., which would not be a condition that the applicant would need to maintain. Draft Ordinance - Section 2 Table 153.400.080-1. Minimum Number of Parking Spaces Use Minimum Number of Spaces Required Golf Driving Range 1½ space per hitting station plus one for each employee on the maximum shift plus one additional space for each 150 s.f. of floor area. One additional space per hole is required for facilities that include miniature golf or practice golf holes. With new uses additional parking standards should be established. Staff reviewed other communities that allow miniature golf and consolidated the standards into the one space per hole for both the miniature golf use and practice golf holes. 9 | P a g e Conditional Use Permit The applicant is requesting to amend their existing CUP to be consistent with new standard proposed for the UDC. If the Planning Commission finds the updates to the use specific performance standards reasonable, the CUP should be amended to reflect those standards. Chapter 153.500.060 Subd. 1(C)(I) of the UDC lists the general standards to meet to grant a CUP or IUP. Below these standards are repeated in italics, with the staff’s findings following: 1. The proposed use will be in compliance with and shall not have a negative effect upon the Comprehensive Plan, including public facilities and capital improvement plans. The proposed use will be in compliance with and shall not have a negative effect upon the Comprehensive Plan. No impact on including public facilities and capital improvement plans is anticipated. If the use expands in the future, site plans shall be referred to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for evaluation of the use and access to the site. 2. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals or comfort. The proposed use is a conditional use in the Agricultural Core zoning district. The proposed golf driving range enhances the property, will promote and enhance the general public welfare, and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort. Reasonable conditions of approval can be added if the City Council finds issues with the proposed golf driving range. 3. The proposed use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values or scenic views. The golf driving range use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values or scenic views. Netting for the site shall be limited to account for scenic views. 4. The establishment of the proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. The proposed golf driving range will not impede development or improvement of surrounding properties. 5. Adequate public facilities and services are available or can be reasonably provided to accommodate the use which is proposed. 10 | P a g e The proposed golf driving range use will use existing public facilities and services and is not anticipated to substantially increase their use, cause undue wear, or cause any detriment atypical of a rural residential property. 6. The proposed use shall conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located and all other applicable standards of this Chapter. The proposed use is consistent with the applicable regulations of the AG-C District and is consistent with the Unified Development Code. Any future changes of the use or site will be required to conform with the applicable regulations of the district and the Conditional Use Permit must be amended to allow for any significant change. 7. The proposed use complies with the general and specific performance standards as specified by this Section and this Chapter. The application is generally consistent with the performance standards established in the Unified Development Code for the proposed golf driving range. Where the application is not consistent, conditions have been included to address the inconsistencies. Shoreland Management Overlay District The Shoreland Ordinance Section 3.5 details additional Conditional Use Permit evaluation criteria for properties in the Shoreland Management Overlay District. Below these standards are repeated in italics, with the staff’s findings following: 1. The prevention of soil erosion or other possible pollution of public waters, both during and after construction. The applicant shall follow construction best management practices and shall be responsible for erosion control during and after construction. No improvements within the Shoreland Management Overlay are proposed. 2. The potential to reduce impervious surface area. No improvements within the Shoreland Management Overlay are proposed. The site shall be subject to impervious surface maximums of the zoning district and the Overlay. 3. The visibility of structures and other facilities as viewed from public waters is limited. Structures and other facilities are not visible from public waters. 4. There is adequate water supply and on-site sewage treatment. The golf driving range will not impact water supply or on-site sewage treatment. 5. The types, uses, and numbers of watercraft that the project will generate are compatible in relation to the suitability of public waters to safely accommodate these watercraft. 11 | P a g e The golf driving range will not impact the types, uses, or numbers of watercrafts. ANALYSIS Review Comments The submittal was sent to city staff and other regulatory agencies for review and comment. Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District provided no comment. Department of Natural Resources The DNR Area Hydrologist provided no comment. Engineering Department The City Engineer had no comment. Fire Department The Fire Chief had no comment. Public Works Department The Public Works Director had no comment. Staff Analysis Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC. Staff believes there are aspects of the request that should be discussed by the Planning Commission. There are conditions and allowances that the applicant is requesting that may not meet the purpose and intent of the Agricultural Core zoning district. Staff believes that due to the amount of changing conditions, changes in legal descriptions, and updated PIDs, if the CUP Amendment is approved, it should be approved as a new document that replaces the previous CUP from 1999. Four requests from the applicant stand out as potential conflicts with the UDC goals, purpose, and intent: residences, more than one building, netting, and lighting. Residence Staff believes allowing an accessory dwelling unit for the site may be reasonable, however, the aspects of the code that need to be amended to do so may be unreasonable. Staff believes this would not be consistent with the purpose and intent of the Agricultural Core zoning district because the purpose of the district does not address commercial businesses and “Recreation, 12 | P a g e Outdoor Commercial” is not an allowed use. “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges and Clubhouses” are explicitly allowed in the AG-C and RR-G zoning districts, outside of the “Recreation, Outdoor Commercial” use. Multiple Structures Allowing multiple structures on the site may be reasonable if additional structures are accessory to the golf driving range use, such as storage buildings. To allow a principal dwelling unit of any kind would require a planned unit development as there would be a mix of principal dwellings and uses on the site. Staff believes that multiple structures may be reasonable, but that the use of such structures should be accessory to the golf driving range. Use specific performance standards or conditions can be added or amended to control for this. Netting Based on the standards adopted elsewhere in code that limit the location and heights of other poles, such as for solar energy systems and towers, the city may feel that it is not in the best interest of the City. Bolton & Menk, the city’s engineering and planning consultants, do have designers who specialize in sports facility design. If the Planning Commission wishes for additional information regarding the necessary height for netting, staff can work with the consultants to identify these metrics. Exterior Lighting Staff feels that it would be inconsistent with the standards of the city and the character of the area to allow for exterior lighting that exceeds a certain height. In the Village and Business districts of the city, additional restrictions are place on the height to poles to 18 feet except through a conditional use permit, and limits hours of use of the lighting to one hour after a business closes. Staff feels it would be reasonable to apply the same requirements for hours and height to this use. Staff believes that exterior lighting may be reasonable, but the use of exterior lighting should be controlled to ensure a nuisance is not created. Use specific performance standards or conditions can be added or amended to control for this. COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission can do one of the following: 1. Recommend approval, with or without conditions, of the attached resolution. 2. Recommend denial, with findings, of the attached resolution. 3. Table the request for further review/study. 13 | P a g e RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing and receive any and all input. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission discuss the various aspects of the text amendment with the applicant to understand gaps in the request and address concerns outlined in the staff report. If the Planning Commission believes that an understanding can be reached between the applicant and the members of the Commission, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request for a UDC text amendment regarding use specific performance standards for “Golf Courses, Driving Ranges, Clubhouse.” The motion should include any amendments, including determining a maximum netting height. Approval includes an ordinance: Staff recommends the Planning Commission: Motion to recommend approval of the attached ordinance to amend 153.300.030 Subd. 1 (N) and Table 153.400.080-1, with findings and conditions as described by staff within the staff report. Provided the Planning Commission recommends approval of the ordinance to amend the UDC, staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a golf driving range. Approval includes a resolution. The above findings and following conditions of approval are recommended: 1. Any improvements to the site shall require an administrative site plan review, provided proposed changes are consistent with the conditions below. Any changes or improvements to the site that are not consistent with the below conditions shall require a conditional use permit amendment. 2. The lot shall be a minimum of 20 acres. 3. Netting and poles are allowed up to ___ feet. 4. Outdoor lighting is allowed on site, subject to the following conditions: a. All exterior lighting shall meet the standards identified in Section [153.400.030 and 153.400.040]. b. The maximum height above the ground grade permitted for light sources mounted on a pole is 18 feet except by conditional use permit. A light source mounted on a building shall not exceed the height of the building and no light sources shall be located on the roof unless said light enhances the architectural features of the building and is approved by the Zoning Administrator. 14 | P a g e c. Outdoor lighting that serves any part of the business that does not operate after dark shall be turned off one hour after closing except for approved security lighting. Lighting not related to the direct use of the driving range and for services offered after dark, may be utilized during the nighttime hours provided the business is open for service. Once the business closes, the outdoor lighting shall be turned off one hour after closing except for security lighting. 5. A 150-foot setback from all property lines to the outer boundaries of the driving range fairway is required. 6. A maximum of 40 hitting tees are permitted. 7.
