Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
Victory Village is the commercial/retail development on the southeast corner of 109th Avenue and Highway 65. This development includes Super Target, four general retail buildings, Chili’s restaurant, Wendy’s, TCF bank, and M&I Bank. At this time it is being proposed that a Raising Cane’s restaurant be located on one of the last lots remaining in Victory Village. The lot would be on the southwest corner of 109th Avenue and Davenport Street.
Conditional Use Permit
The site in question is zoned PBD (Planned Business District) and a conditional use permit is required in order to construct a building and develop this site.
Part of this conditional use permit approval will be the approval of a shared access for the site. The entire Victory Village site shares parking and accesses internally. A shared parking and access agreement will be required for this site.
The parking provided for this lot meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for the size of building provided on that lot, which is 4,352 square feet. The site development does include a drive-through for the restaurant.
The building elevations indicate that the building will be constructed of brick, stucco, metal and glass and the building meets the requirements of the Highway 65 Overlay District.
The landscaping for Victory Village was calculated for the total site area and not on an individual lot basis. Therefore, that applicant will need to submit a landscape plan that indicates the total number of trees required for the overall Victory Village development and how the current site matches up to that number.
Site plan approval is required prior to issuance of building permits and this process has already been started by the applicant.
All signage is also issued under a separate permit process. The site will be allowed one monument sign, and wall signage on two sides of the building. All murals and wall art will be counted towards the wall signage requirement.
Construction sites grading one acre or more require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Construction Activity Permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) prior to construction. In order to obtain the permit, the Developer is required to include temporary and permanent erosion protection and sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs), and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) information on the development grading plan. A building permit will not be issued until a copy of the permit application and SWPPP are submitted to the City.
All lighting on site must be downlit and shielded and freestanding light structures are limited to 40-feet in height as that height was allowed through the conditional use permits for the other additions of Victory Village.
