Albertville — Albertville Premium outlets PUD Amendment
163.06 — 16.05
Albertville Premium Outlets has requested an amendment to their Planned Unit
Development (PUD) to allow for limited use of temporary storage containers behind the
mall, as well as banner signs on light poles within the parking lot. The lighting is also
being updated to LED fixtures and the angle of the existing fixtures will be readjusted to
direct lighting downward.
Currently, Albertville Premium outlets uses an event permit to allow the use of
temporary storage containers ("pods"). The applicant has requested a change to their
PUD in an effort to avoid reapplying for an event permit on an annual basis. The
applicant is seeking the temporary storage units as a solution to increased sales during
peak shopping times throughout the year.
The applicant is also seeking an amendment to allow for banners to be hung on select
light poles within their parking lot.
The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development using the B-3, Highway
Commercial District as the standard to regulate uses.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Temporary Storage Units. Seasonally, the major retail tenants of the outlet Mall
need additional merchandise storage to keep their stores stocked during peak sales
periods (i.e., Back to School, Christmas). The current buildings do not offer sufficient
warehouse space to address the growing demands of the successful anchor stores. In
response to their tenant needs, the outlet Mall is requesting the use of temporary
storage units as a means to provide expanded on -site storage. In meeting with staff, we
identified that outdoor storage is an allowed conditional use within the B-3 Zoning
District, however City staff noted the following issues:
Location. The location and placement of the storage units would have to be
located at the rear of the shopping center buildings. These locations cannot take
up required parking, cannot interfere with fire lanes or delivery truck
maneuvering, and the storage area must be screened from public streets.
The applicant's site plan shows six storage unit locations at the rear of the
shopping center Phases 1 and 2. These locations are intended to disperse the
storage facilities to the major tenant locations for ease of access. In review of
the site plan, we find the locations to be acceptable provided:
a. The storage unit location shall be on a paved surface, painted and signed
for the storage unit. This physical demarcation is intended to keep the
units in approved locations, prevent intrusion onto the drive aisles, and
prevent expanded storage unit.
b. The applicant shall maintain a 24 foot or greater drive aisle around the
building for a fire lane and to allow for tenant deliveries by large trucks.
Storage units shall not encroach into the drive aisles.
C. The outlet Mall has an oversupply of parking. These storage unit
locations will not consume required parking.
2. Storage Unit Size and Security. The applicant is proposing to limit storage unit
size to 8 feet high by 8 feet deep by 16 feet in length. The applicant believes that
this size is appropriate to meet the needs of the tenants. The PUD will limit the
maximum storage unit size to that requested by the outlet Mall. The on -site
demarcation for the storage unit space should be over -sized to include access
and door swings of the unit.
The City requires outdoor storage areas to be entirely fenced to secure the
storage area. The proposed units are entirely enclosed structures with locked
doors for security. In this respect, no fencing will be required.
3. Tempora[y Use. The units are temporary storage structures. They will be used
for a period of 60 days, two times a year. The temporary nature of these units
allows the City to treat them as outdoor storage rather than permanent accessory
iE:3
buildings, which would require them to meet the City's accessory building
standards for permanent structures.
4. Screening. The City requires all outdoor storage areas to be screened from
adjoining properties and public streets. The applicant is proposing that the units
themselves provide screening in that all storage will be enclosed. The applicant
also proposes that the units will be of a neutral color with no graffiti. Additionally,
all trash receptacles and trash compactors should be repainted this summer to
match the color of the buildings.
In review of the site locations, the areas on the east and west ends of the outlet
Mall raise some concerns for visibility and appearance from County Road 19 or
I nterstate 94.
The east end may not be an issue in that the storage unit area will be set back
approximately 1 60+ feet from the east property line. This storage unit location
will be screened by a trash enclosure and the omann Bros. building.
The west location will have exposure to Interstate 94. The applicant will be
painting the current trash handling equipment and they indicated that their 2016
budget includes monies for landscaping. City staff will evaluate the visual impact
of the western units once in place and direct the applicant on additional
screening if needed.
Banners. The outlet Mall is requesting flexibility from the Albertville Sign ordinance to
allow the placement of banners on their parking lot light poles. Their request for the
Phase 1 and 2 shopping centers is for 11 light pole locations. The banners will be three
feet by five feet in area. In review of the request, we offer the following comments:
The outlet Mall is a very large site accessed via a private street. The proposed
locations of the banners will be visible from County Road 19 and Interstate 94
and will not have messages legible from outside the parking lots. In this respect,
the banners serve as an aesthetic feature to the light poles rather than signs.
2. Within the site, the banners will advertise select tenants and provide directions to
the tenant bays or will include a generic message such as "Happy Holidays."
Due to the uniqueness of the outlet Mall as a land use and its overall site design, staff
supports the proposed banner request with the following conditions:
The banners shall be limited to the 11 locations proposed for Phases 1 and 2.
We would also approve 12 locations for banners in Phase 3. This is to avoid a
future PUD application for this site.
2. The Phase 1, 2 and 3 banner sizes shall all be limited to three feet by five feet.
3. No more than two banners per light pole.
iU1
4. Banners shall be mounted on the poles to provide a minimum of 10 feet of
clearance between the bottom of the banner and the parking lot.
6. All banners shall be maintained in good condition. Torn, frayed, or faded
banners shall be removed or replaced.
Lighting. The outlet Mall lighting preceded current City light performance standards
that require all new commercial exterior lighting to be 90 degree cutoff lighting to
prevent glare issues for surrounding properties.
The outlet Mall lighting has produced nuisance complaints from residents south of the
Interstate. The applicant is now proposing that all parking lot lights will be converted to
LED light sources and light fixture heads will be adjusted to a 90 degree cutoff with
shielded light bulbs. This will serve to reduce glare issues.
RECOMMENDATION
In review of the Albertville outlet Mall request to amend the PUD, we find their requests
to be reasonable in the context of the overall site design and land use. Staff
recommends approval of the PUD amendment with the following conditions:
Temporary Storage Units. The temporary storage units are approved with the
following conditions:
The proposed storage unit locations shall be limited to the six storage unit
locations identified on the approved site plan. These unit locations shall be
paved and painted on -site to demark the unit location. No storage unit shall be
located outside the approved pad locations.
2. No storage unit shall be placed so as to obstruct the fire lanes or drive aisles for
truck deliveries at the rear of the outlet Mall buildings. The drive aisles shall
maintain a 24 foot unencumbered width.
3. Storage units shall not exceed 8 feet in height, 8 feet in depth, and 16 feet in
length.
4. Storage units may be placed on site twice a year for a duration that shall not
exceed 60 days. Upon expiration of this period, the storage units shall be
removed.
6. Storage units shall be self-contained and secured.
6. The storage units shall be of a neutral color (no graffiti). All trash handling
equipment and compactors shall be painted to match the principal buildings.
K11
7. Upon locating the storage units, the applicant shall screen the equipment from
County Road 19 and Interstate 94. Upon placing the storage units in place, the
applicant shall work with City staff to identify the location, type and quantity of
screened needed.
Banners. Staff recommends the approval of the PUD amendment to allow banners on
light poles internal to the parking lots, subject to the following conditions:
2.
3.
4.
6.
6.
The banners shall be limited to the 11 locations proposed for Phases 1 and 2.
We would also approve 12 locations for banners in Phase 3. This is to avoid a
future PUD application for this site.
The Phase 1, 2 and 3 banner sizes shall all be limited to three feet by five feet.
No more than two banners per light pole.
Banners shall be mounted on the poles to provide a minimum of 10 feet of
clearance between the bottom of the banner and the parking lot.
All banners shall be maintained in good condition. Torn, frayed, or faded
banners shall be removed or replaced.
All parking lot light fixtures shall be readjusted to a 90 degree cutoff with the light
source (bulb) shielded prior to the installation of the banners.
