SUBJECT: PLANNING - COBORN'S GROCERY STORE REZONING AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMITS FOR DRIVE THROUGH SERVICE LANE AND A 5TH GAS PUMP.
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2017-06 and Resolution No. 2017-021 Rezoning Coborn's
Grocery Store and Resolution No. 2017-022 for Conditional Use Permits.
BACKGROUND: In 2002, the City of Albertville approved the subdivision and conditional
use/planned unit development for Albertville Crossing, a commercial shopping area located at
the southeast corner of County Road 19 and 5 7th Street. This approval included the C oborn's
Supermarket with a liquor store and Lil Dukes convenience store and gas sales.
Coborn's is undergoing a store remodel that relocates Coborn's Liquor to another shopping
center tenant bay as a standalone store. They are expanding the grocery store into the old liquor
store floor space to offer a broader variety of goods and services. A part of the remodel includes
the introduction of a Caribou Coffee into the store and expanded dining for the store's deli
section. In addition to the interior site changes, Coborn' s is requesting two exterior alterations:
1. A drive -through service lane for Caribou Coffee; and
2. The addition of a fifth gas pump to the existing gas service area on the north side of the
building.
KEY ISSUES:
Summary of Rezoning — B2 Limited Business to B3 Highway Commercial
Staff recommends changing the zoning for Lot 1, Block 1, Albertville Crossing from B-2,
Limited Business District to B-3, Highway Commercial District based on the following findings:
1. The City has amended its zoning Ordinance and zoning Map since the 2002 original
approval, resulting in the existing approved gas sale use becoming non -conforming.
2. The change in zoning is consistent with the Albertville Comprehensive Pan which guides
the site for commercial land use. The Comprehensive Plan goals and policies support the
re -investment in the property and expansion of goods and services for its residents.
3. Sit down dining and big box retailers are identified as desired uses in the Albertville
Comprehensive Plan.

4. The rezoning of this lot is geographically specified, allowing the proposed requested
uses, and providing protections to adjoining properties.
5. The proposed land use will be compatible with adjoining land uses.
6. The proposed use will not overburden City utilities or services.
7. The proposed use will not overburden the capacity of adjoining streets.
Summary of Conditional Use Permit - Drive Through Service:
Within the B -3 Zoning District, the following performance standards are applied to a drive -
through service lane:
The applicant's design provides the required 120 feet of stacking (six cars), however, the
stacking area is interrupted by a 30-foot drive aisle that provides access to the gas pumps and
parking on the north side of the store.
Details of the plan can be found in the Planner's Report dated August 3, 2017
Summary of Conditional Use Permit — Gas Pump
The 2002 approval included four gas pumps. The applicant proposes to locate the fifth pump and
extend the canopy east of the existing facilities. This new pump location, at the east of the
canopy, is away from the drive -through stacking lane.
Previously, the north end of the grocery store contained liquor, video, and a convenience store
that were reliant on parking on the north side of the building.
With the current remodel of the Coborn's Superstore, the video store has been removed and the
liquor store has been relocated. In their place, the grocery store has expanded and a Caribou
Coffee shop has been added. Through the building redesign, the building will not operate as
three individual businesses each requiring their own entrance and parking. Additionally, the
renovation removes store deliveries from the north side of the building. These characteristics will
serve to reduce traffic congestion in this portion of the site.
Coborn's is also adding a drive -through service lane for Caribou Coffee. This design element
adds a new traffic element to this area of the site. The combination of the outdoor elements must
be considered together to insure the site functions properly.
Details of the plan can be found in the Planner's Report dated August 3, 2017
POLICYIPRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice
was published and a public hearing held on August 8, 2017 by the Planning Commission for the
rezoning application and the conditional use permit. The Commission recommended that the

31 2017 Planner's Report.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The applicant shall be responsible for all costs associated
with the rezoning and conditional use permit. There are no significant financial issues related to
the rezoning and conditional use permit.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and Council
have the authority approve the rezoning request, grant the conditional use permit, and approve
the site plan and building plan which requires a majority vote of the City Council and becomes
effective upon publication.
