Respectfully submitted, ____________________________ Maeghan Becker, Building Permit Tech Agenda Page 5 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation June 10, 2025 ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on the Conditional Use Permit request for Mold Tech to reduce the number of required parking spaces by demonstrating a reduced parking need for the site. BACKGROUND Mold-Tech Inc., the applicant, has made an application on behalf of the property owner, Glacier Ridge properties, for a Conditional Use Permit to reduce the number of parking spaces required. The property was recently under review for a Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Site Plan Review. The purpose of the previous requests was to allow for a building expansion of Mold-Tech Inc. The expansion would require an increased number of parking spaces to meet zoning code requirements. The property is located at the southeastern corner of Barthel Industrial Drive and 52nd St NE. The site is zoned I-1. The site is currently used for manufacturing and is a permitted use in the district. Mold-Tech Inc. has 55 full-time employees plus 7 part-time employees. The site expansion will likely allow for 14 additional employees for a total maximum of 76 employees. The number of additional employees is directly tied to the number of machines they can fit into the space. TO: Chair Buhrmann and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jenni Faulkner, Consultant Planner Frannie Nielsen, Consultant AGENDA ITEM: Proof of Parking Conditional Use Permit Review for Mold- Tech Inc. at 5166 Barthel Industrial Drive. HEARINGS Conditional Use Permit to allow “proof of parking” for Lot 1, Block 1, GLACIER RIDGE PROPERTIES ADDITION, WRIGHT COUNTY, MINNESOTA. Agenda Page 6 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – June 10, 2025 Planning – Mold-Tech Inc. Page 2 of 4 Section 1200.9 B of the Albertville City Zoning Code allows for a reduced number of required parking spaces with a Conditional Use Permit. “Space Reductions: Subject to the review and processing of a conditional use permit as regulated by chapter 400 of this ordinance, the city may reduce the number of required off street parking spaces when the use can demonstrate in documented form a need which is less than required. In such situations, the city may require land to be reserved for parking development should use or needs change.” The applicant has provided the proposed number of parking spaces in addition to an area designed for future parking spaces. Required and Proposed Number of Parking Spaces The site currently has 69 parking spaces with 1 of those being handicapped accessible spaces. The number of parking spaces required with the building expansion is: Use Requirement Square footage less 10% Parking Required Manufacturing 1 space for each 350 square feet of manufacturing 36,524-3652=32,872 94 stalls Office 3 spaces + 1 space per 200 square feet of office floor area 4360-436=3924 23 stalls TOTAL 117 stalls The proposed number of parking spaces is 89 with 4 of those being handicapped accessible spaces. (20 new spaces will be added to accommodate 14 new employees). The plan indicates 34 future parking spaces for a total of 123 parking spaces. Therefore, the current proposed number of parking spaces installed does not meet code requirements, but including the number of future parking spaces meets code requirements. REVIEW Conditional Use Permit Review In accordance with Section 400 of the Albertville Zoning Code, the planning commission and city council shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. Their judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: Staff’s analysis is below each factor of consideration in italics. 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official city comprehensive plan. Industrial Goal 1 in the Albertville Vision/Comprehensive Plan is to promote continued industrial development in order to expand local employment opportunities and the city’s tax base. The Comprehensive Plan also indicates industrial growth as a priority for the Agenda Page 7 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – June 10, 2025 Planning – Mold-Tech Inc. Page 3 of 4 community. Reduced parking is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future uses of the area. The site is currently zoned I-1 and used as manufacturing which is a permitted use. The site is guided as Industrial in the Future Land Use Map. The continued use of manufacturing with a reduced parking requirement is compatible with the present and future uses of the area. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Code. Besides the parking requirements, the proposed site expansion meets performance standards of the Albertville Zoning Code or will be required to meet the standards as a condition of approval from the previous land applications (preliminary plat, final plat, and site plan review) or this Conditional Use Permit. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. The overall site is proposed to be expanded and improved. The reduced parking requirement to serve this site will not depreciate the area in which it is proposed. The proposal is to add 20 additional stalls with this building expansion that will accommodate 14 new employees. Parking has not been a problem in the past and with the expansion and additional stall to be added above and beyond new employees added, the parking will actually be increased on site. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. The reduced parking requirement for a manufacturing use is not expected to overburden the city’s service capacity. Reduced parking should not impact city services. 6. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. The reduced parking still includes adequate parking for the maximum number of employees at one given time. The reduced parking is not expected to impact traffic and is in the capabilities of the streets serving the property. RECOMMENDATION: There are no concerns or outstanding issues with this request. The request is reasonable, and no adverse impacts are anticipated with the request. It is respectfully requested that the Planning Commission consider the following: MOTION TO: Recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for the reduced parking requirement for Lot 1, Block 1, GLACIER RIDGE PROPERTIES ADDITION based on the following findings: 1. Reduced parking is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The continued use of manufacturing with a reduced parking requirement is compatible with the present and future uses of the area. Agenda Page 8 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – June 10, 2025 Planning – Mold-Tech Inc. Page 4 of 4 3. The proposed site expansion meets performance standards of the Albertville Zoning Code. 4. The reduced parking requirement to serve this site will not depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 5. The reduced parking requirement for manufacturing use is not expected to overburden the city’s service capacity. 6. The reduced parking is not expected to impact traffic and is in the capabilities of the streets serving the property. And with the following conditions: 1. The area shown on the site plan as future parking shall be installed when the number of employees is increased over 85 on any given shift or if parking becomes inadequate onsite as determined by the Zoning Administrator.

Questions to consider as part of this discussion are: • How can Downtown play an enhanced role in the overall quality of life for residents in Albertville? • What are some ways in which you would like to experience Downtown Albertville in the future, that you don’t today? • What role should the City play in guiding/directing changes in the Downtown? • Are there other Downtowns (in the state or otherwise) that you think about when you think about the future of Downtown Albertville? Agenda Page 17 Opportunity Site We will be discussing the city’s compost/wastewater treatment site and explore opportunities for additional uses. It’s possible that the existing compost site be relocated to the area of one of the sewage ponds and that the remainder of the property be put to use. The future use could be public or private. Discussion The Planning Commission should review the updated goals and discuss additional changes. The revised goals will be shared with the Council for their review before a final draft is created. The Commissioners should also think about downtown’s challenges and opportunities. We will also be discussing the opportunity site. Next Steps To complete an update to the vision plan, we will review the following and update the plan. If there are other areas to be updated, the Commission should discuss their incorporation into the plan. • Review of undeveloped parcels (similar to current Vision Plan) o AG Rural PID# 101800063201 62.68 acres o Commercial PID# 101500013301 21.29 acres o Commercial PID # 101500013200 27.64 acres o Industrial PID# 101500351200 39.59 acres o Industrial PID # 101500351100 37.67 acres o Industrial PID #101500352301 10.56 acres • Update of Public Facilities and Parks Plans • Update Future Projects/CIP in the Vision Plan • Implementation/Tools Community Engagement is planned to include information on the City website as well as in- person discussion and input from city leaders.
