MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2026-05 amending Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 3 City Fees, Fines and Rates for Rentals - Park fee within the City of Albertville. BACKGROUND: At the March 16, 2026, Council meeting, staff presented information regarding the three entities involved with Family Youth Community Connections (FYCC): the St. Michael-Albertville (STMA) School District, City of Albertville, and the City of St. Michael. It was noted that FYCC serves as the parks and recreation department for both cities. Staff noted that, in most communities, parks and recreation departments manage field scheduling; however, FYCC has been overseeing this role. It was suggested that the School District may be better positioned to centralize scheduling, as it already manages its own athletic fields. The School District has provided a proposed Field Scheduling Agreement with FYCC on behalf of both cities. The agreement would centralize the scheduling for all city-owned athletic fields to streamline community use, minimize scheduling conflicts and improve overall field utilization. The agreement term is a year, with automatic annual renewal unless terminated by any party with written notice. Discussion also included the need to ensure consistency in athletic park fees between the two cities. Staff indicated they would bring proposed fees to this City Council meeting for Council’s consideration. KEY ISSUES: • FYCC currently schedules athletic field use for the City of Albertville and City of St. Michael. • The STMA School District schedules its own fields and has proposed an agreement to centralize scheduling of the city fields. • Staff propose an ordinance amendment to establish consistent athletic park fees between the two cities. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There proposed fee adjustments would establish consistent Athletic Park fees between the two cities. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and City Council have the authority to amend the City Code and set fees, as necessary.

Agenda Page 34 9 EXHIBIT B Final Plat Agenda Page 35 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation January 13, 2026 ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Plat for the parcels with PIDs 101-103-001160 and 101-118-000010. The current request includes the Zoning Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and an Easement Vacation for the site. The Final Plat and Easement Vacation are not reviewed by the Planning Commission and will be considered by the City Council at a future meeting. BACKGROUND Tiffini and Roberto Ventura, the applicants, have made an application for a Zoning Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Easement Vacation for the properties with PIDs 101-103-001160 (Parcel A) and 101-118-000010 (Parcel B). The Planning Commission is responsible for reviewing the application, holding a public hearing, and making a recommendation to City Council on the Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Plat applications. The subject area is located along a private drive between Jason Avenue Northeast and 51st Street. The site is currently comprised of two parcels, Parcel A which is approximately 1.09 acres and Parcel B which is approximately 0.13 acres. Parcel A is currently zoned Prairie Run PUD/R-1A and contains a single-family dwelling. Parcel B is currently zoned Albertville Clinic PUD/B-2, is platted as an outlot, and is currently vacant. The applicant requests to realign the two lots and to vacate the easements that TO: Chair Buhrmann and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: T.J. Hofer, Consultant Planner AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Map Amendment, Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and Easement Vacation for Ventura Addition at PID 101-103- 001160 and 101-118-000010 HEARINGS Zoning Map Amendment and Preliminary Plat to PID 101- 103-001160 and 101-118-000010 Agenda Page 36 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – January 13, 2026 Planning – Ventura Addition Rezoning & Preliminary Plat Page 2 of 5 are rendered unnecessary due to the realignment. The current site has access from Jason Avenue Northeast and 51st Street Northeast. The parcels to the east are part of the Albertville Clinic PUD/B-2, parcel to the west are part of the Prairie Run PUD/R-1A, and the site abuts right-of- way to the south. REVIEW Proposed Conditions The applicant proposes to realign the parcels in the subject property into a 0.44-acre lot and a 0.74-acre outlot. No changes to the physical conditions or development of the lot are proposed currently. The outlot would remain unbuildable until platted in the future. The application is establishing some of the entitlements needed for a future commercial building on Outlot A. The zoning amendment request and standards for the preliminary plat are reviewed below. Agenda Page 37 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – January 13, 2026 Planning – Ventura Addition Rezoning & Preliminary Plat Page 3 of 5 Zoning Map Amendment The applicant has requested to rezone proposed Lot 1, Block 1 to the R-1A district and proposed Outlot A to the B-2 district. The Zoning Ordinance establishes review criteria for amendments to the Zoning Map. The review criteria are: 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. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. 6. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets serving the property. Staff believes that the request for zoning map amendment meets the review criteria established in the zoning ordinance. A proposed use for Outlot A has not been stated by the applicant at this time as part of the submittal. While the outlot will be zoned B-2, it will not be developable until it is platted as a lot. The Future Land Use Map (from the 2018 Vision Plan) designates Parcel A as all residential and Parcel B as commercial consistent with their approved PUD’s. The Vision Plan is in the process of being updated, and if the rezoning is approved, the Future Land Use Map will be updated accordingly with the Vision Plan 2026 Update expected to be completed within the next three to four months. Preliminary Plat Review Dimensional Standards Residential Standard R-1A Lot 1, Block 1 Meets Req. Lot area (sq. ft.) 15,000 19,105 Meets Lot width (ft.) 120 183.3 Meets Front yard setback (ft.) 30 30.7 Meets Side yard setback, interior (ft.) 10 56.8 Meets Rear yard setback (ft.) 25 25 Meets Site coverage maximum, structures (%) 25 14.2 Meets Maximum Height (ft.) 35 Unknown Unknown The proposed residential lot and existing structure meet the requirements of the R-1A district. The property is a corner lot, but does not have a side yard that abuts a public street so the interior side yard setback is applied to both the west and east property lines. The existing building height is unknown, but is not proposed to change. Agenda Page 38 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – January 13, 2026 Planning – Ventura Addition Rezoning & Preliminary Plat Page 4 of 5 Commercial Standard B-2 Outlot A Meets Req. Lot area (sq. ft.) 10,000 32,048 Meets Lot width (ft.) 100 160.9 Meets Front yard setback (ft.) 35 N/A N/A Side yard setback (ft.) 10 Rear yard setback (ft.) 20 Parking lot setback from street (ft.) 15 Curb barrier from lot line (ft.) 5 Site coverage maximum (%) 80 Maximum Height (ft.) 35 Outlots are not required to meet minimum lot standards, but the applicant has indicate that proposed Outlot A will be replatted in the future to allow for development. The outlot as proposed meets the minimum requirements and a structure placed on the lot should be able to be constructed without variances. A site plan review will also be required. Dedication Requirements The subdivision Ordinance does not require dedication on property being divided with the same number of lots. Park dedication will be required when Outlot A is replatted. Water and Sewer Systems Proposed Lot 1 has an existing connection to water and sewer. No changes are proposed to the water or sewer connections on the site. The preliminary plat shows the location of a sanitary sewer and water connection location for Outlot A. Drainage System No changes to the subject parcel are proposed with this application that would change the existing drainage system. When development is proposed on Outlot A, a drainage plan shall be required. Easements The proposed preliminary plat shows a 10 ft. drainage and utility easement along all sides of the parcel, with the easement centered on side lot lines. Existing drainage and utility easements on Parcel A are proposed to be vacated. Erosion and Sediment Control An erosion and sediment control plan was not submitted. When development is proposed on Outlot A, an erosion and sediment control plan shall be required. Access Proposed Lot 1 is currently accessed from Jason Ave, no changes are proposed to the existing driveway or access from Jason Ave. No access is shown for Outlot A, but staff anticipates access to Outlot A would be from 51st St. NE. Access to the private drive located to the east is managed Agenda Page 39 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – January 13, 2026 Planning – Ventura Addition Rezoning & Preliminary Plat Page 5 of 5 by the PUD, which will no longer include the Outlot. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan The proposed zoning map amendment and preliminary plat must comply with the Albertville Comprehensive Plan. The properties are shown as Low Density Residential and Commercial on the Proposed Land Use map in the 2018 Visioning Update. The exact alignment of the parcels and zoning will be inconsistent with the 2018 Visioning Plan guidance, however, the lots will essentially retain the same proposed land use in a different orientation. If approved, the Future Land Use Map will be updated to reflect the approved configuration with the 2026 Vision Plan Update currently underway. The Vision Plan update is expected to be complete within the next three to four months. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that Chair Buhrmann and Members of the Planning Commission consider the following: MOTION TO: Recommend approval of the Zoning Map Amendment for the proposed Lot 1, Block 1, Ventura Addition, from Prairie Run PUD/R-1A to R-1A and Outlot A, Ventura Addition, from Albertville Clinic PUD/B-2 to B-2.

The Ventura Addition plat will dedicate new drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the new Lot 1 and Outlot A in Ventura Addition. There are no utilities that the City is aware of that will not be covered by the new drainage and utility easement once the plat of Ventura is recorded. City staff is recommending that the vacation be approved via the attached resolution which makes the vacation effective only upon the recording of the Ventura Addition plat, which means that there will not be a gap in time between the vacation of the existing easements and the dedication of the new easements. KEY ISSUES: • The current drainage and utility easements on Lot 16 do not accommodate full use of the combined lots once the Venture Addition plat is recorded. • The vacation of the existing Lot 16 easements shall be effective upon the recording of the Ventura Addition plat, which will dedicate the needed replacement drainage and utility easements. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The City has consistently vacated easements on existing outlots when such outlots are being replatted to numbered lots and blocks and when the new plat dedicates new drainage and utility easements that are sufficient to support the planned development of the property. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The vacation of the drainage and utility easements and the dedication of the new easements will have no financial impact upon the City. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Council has the authority to vacate easements that are no longer needed by the City and which will be replaced by easements that will be needed to support the planned new development.

MOTION TO: Approve Amendment to Albertville Plaza PUD Agreement, allowing community centers with accessory prayer services in Lot 1, Block 1 as an interim use and addressing maintenance of the screening fence. BACKGROUND: The request is to modify Section 200 (Definitions) of the Zoning Ordinance to add a definition of community center and to amend Section 5200 (PUD’s) to allow a community center as an interim use within the Albertville Plaza 1st PUD. Albertville Plaza 1st Addition is a retail strip center located at 11011 61st Street. Majid Quba is the organization making the application. They would like to move their community center from St. Michael to Albertville. Activities will include homework assistance, job application support, social connection, and religious activities including prayer. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Code Amendments and held a public hearing at their March 10, 2026 meeting. There were no public comments. The Planning Commission had questions about the site and use, which will be addressed with a future review of an Interim Use Permit, if the Code Amendments are approved. There are no outstanding issues. KEY ISSUES: • The text amendment will define community centers and amend the PUD for Albertville Plaza 1st Addition to allow a community center with prayer as an interim use • A community center is defined as a place of gathering for various purposes for social, cultural, or religious purposes. • Community centers and churches/religious institutions are currently allowed within the P/I Public Institutional zoning district. • The proposed Ordnance Amendment will allow a community center in a commercial district only as a specific PUD. • The Albertville Plaza 1st Addition PUD will address the existing fence maintenance to the abutting residential properties. • A future Interim Use Permit will review for specific use at the specific place. Performance standards such as parking, signage, use, term of the permit, etc. can be mitigated with appropriate conditions. Agenda Page 56 Mayor and Council Request for Action – April 6, 2026 Planning – Majid Quba Zoning and PUD Amendment Page 2 of 2 • The Amendment to the Developers Agreement will allow for the Community Center use on Lot 1, Block 1 and address the long-term maintenance of the fence abutting the adjacent residential properties. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: Approval of the amendment code will add clarity to what a community center is (and is not) by definition. The PUD Amendment will limit the community center use only to Lot 1, Block 1, Albertville Plaza. Another ordinance amendment would be necessary to locate a community center on any other property in the City. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Attorney has reviewed the application and proposed amendment and provided the Amendment to the Developer’s Agreement.

P.O. Box 369 St. Michael, MN 55376 (763) 497-1930 Agenda Page 61 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation March 10, 2026 ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission is asked to conduct a public hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the Zoning Text Amendment and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to the Albertville Plaza 1st Addition PUD for the parcel located at 11011 61st Street SE. This is west of LaBeaux Avenue (CR19)and south of I-94. BACKGROUND The Albertville Plaza 1st Addition PUD subject area is located along 61st Street NE (also known as County Road 37 NE), southwest and west of the intersection with Labeaux Avenue NE. The PUD site is currently comprised of three parcels, while only Parcel A will be impacted by the PUD amendment. The parcels to the west are part of the PUD Westwind (residential), the parcels to the south are part of the Albertville Plaza 3rd Addition, the parcels to the east are part of the B-3 district, and the parcels to the north are part of the Albertville Plaza Mooney Addition PUD. The applicant’s request is to allow a community center as an interim use within the retail strip center at Albertville Plaza (Lot 1 Block 1 Albertville Plaza 1st Addition) . The code does not define the use and said use is not listed as allowed within B-3 or the PUD Agreement. The intended use is for paying members as well as the public to gather for various activities including help with schoolwork, job applications, social and cultural activities, and religious activities including prayer. The applicant is current leasing space at the St. Michael fire hall for their community center. This location will be temporary as their long-term plan is to be in a building they own. If approved, the applicant will apply for an Interim Use Permit to address how the use is compatible and address the site specifics and potential impacts. TO: Chair Buhrmann and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Madison Richard, Consultant Planner Jenni Faulkner, Consultant Planner AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Text Amendment and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment at 11011 61st Street NE (PID 101-078- 001010) HEARINGS: Zoning Text Amendment and PUD Amendment to 11011 61st Street NE (PID 101-078-001010) PUD Parcel A Agenda Page 62 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – March 10, 2026 Planning – Zoning Ordinance and PUD Amendment Page 2 of 4 REVIEW Ordinance Amendment Community Centers are currently listed in the Zoning Ordinance as a conditional use within the P/I Public/Institutional District with specific provision listed, particularly screening form adjacent residential uses. However, there is no definition. The following text includes the existing code language (italics) and added text (red and underlined), as well as staff’s consideration of the proposed changes: Chapter 200: Rules and Definitions “200.2: DEFINITIONS COMMUNITY CENTER: A public facility where individuals from a neighborhood or community can gather for social, educational, recreational, religious, or cultural activities. These centers often host events, classes, and meetings, and provide resources and support to the local community. They aim to foster a sense of belonging and enhance the overall well-being of community members.” The ordinance does not currently have a definition for community centers, but the City should consider adding a use definition to align with the proposal to permit community centers in the Albertville Plaza PUD. Staff have reviewed adjacent communities’ definitions for community centers and are recommending the definition used by the City of Anoka with the addition of religious activities. Staff have compiled the information below related to adjacent communities’ definitions: Hanover Recreation, public. Includes all uses such as tennis courts, ball fields, picnic areas, and the like that are commonly provided for the public at parks, playgrounds, community centers, and other sites owned and operated by a unit of government for the purpose of providing recreation. Anoka Community center means a public facility where individuals from a neighborhood or community can gather for social, educational, recreational, or cultural activities. These centers often host events, classes, and meetings, and provide resources and support to the local community. They aim to foster a sense of belonging and enhance the overall well-being of community members. Maple Grove Community center means a building, together with its accessory buildings and uses, controlled and maintained by the city for the purpose of recreation and public/semi-public meetings and uses. Monticello A “public building or use” that provides a variety of services and facilities for both public and private activities, which may include the following: city offices; U.S. or State of Minnesota military offices; recreation facilities and classes; public assembly uses; senior citizen community rooms and activities; event center gatherings; and support facilities for any of the above. Individual public space and/or facilities within a COMMUNITY CENTER may be used, leased or rented to other entities, including private individuals or groups as an incidental and accessory aspect of such space or facility, at the discretion of the public agency owner/manager. Agenda Page 63 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – March 10, 2026 Planning – Zoning Ordinance and PUD Amendment Page 3 of 4 Chapter 5200: PUD Planned Unit Development Districts “5200.4.1: ALBERTVILLE PLAZA 1ST ADDITION AND 2ND ADDITION A. Uses: All permitted uses permitted accessory uses, conditional uses, and interim uses contained in the B-3 zoning district defined in this ordinance that are consistent with the zoning performance standards shall be treated as allowed uses within a PUD district. Community centers with accessory prayer services are permitted on Lot 1, Block 1, Albertville Plaza First Addition with an Interim Use Permit.”; Because this use is proposed to be permitted in a commercial district, screening from adjacent residential uses is existing in the code. All code requirements would otherwise have to be met and no specific provision are being suggested for inclusion into the code at this time. The applicant is proposing to amend the Albertville Plaza PUD to permit community centers with prayer services as an accessory use with an Interim Use Permit. Staff believe it makes sense on Lot 1, Block 1 in Albertville Plaza First Addition while not permitting the use within the underlying B-3 district or the remainder of the PUD. The PUD is more specific than general provisions. And further, the PUD Agreement can be more specific than the PUD zoning or general provisions as well. PUD Amendment The following text includes the existing code language (italics), added text (red and underlined), and stricken text (red and struck through), as well as staff’s consideration of the proposed changes: Planned Unit Development Agreement – Albertville Plaza Agreement “2. Use of Property. Developer’s use of Said Plat shall be consistent with the following restrictions, which shall be effective until further modified of amended by rezoning or other amendment of the planned unit development by the City Council: A. Said Plat has been approved as a planned unit development (“PUD”). The provisions of the City's B-3 zoning district (as amended from time to time) shall apply to the lots in Said Plat, except as modified by this Agreement and except that the uses on the lots in Said Plat shall be limited to the following unless otherwise agreed to by the City Council and Developer: i. Lot 1: Multi-tenant retail, office, and coffee shop, and community center with accessory prayer services. ii. Lot 2 and Outlot A: Professional office, bank, hotel/motel, daycare, retail sales, restaurant, and auto service. iii. Lot 3: Restaurant.” As a matter of housekeeping, the PUD Amendment should also include language regarding the screening from adjacent residential uses. There is an existing fence along the property line. The PUD is not clear on maintenance of this fence. Fences/screening is required to be installed by commercial developers when commercial property is developed adjacent to residential uses. To provide clarity, staff suggests an amendment to the PUD to include maintenance of the fence be the responsibility of Albertville Plaza 1st Addition developer/owner. Agenda Page 64 Planning Commission Request for Recommendation – March 10, 2026 Planning – Zoning Ordinance and PUD Amendment Page 4 of 4 Review Considerations The applicant has requested to update the zoning ordinance to include a community center definition and permit community centers with accessory prayer within the Albertville Plaza PUD. The Zoning Ordinance states that the Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgment shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: 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. 1. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. 2. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. 3. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. 5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets serving the property. Staff believes that the proposed ordinance amendment is consistent with the review considerations and will help clarify standards within the zoning ordinance. Given the use is unique to the community, limited to a specific PUD and further limiting to an IUP will allow the use temporarily and provide an opportunity to address any issues that may arise in the future as the IUP comes to an end or is reconsidered in the future. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan The Zoning Ordinance must be consistent with the Albertville Comprehensive Plan. Small Town Atmosphere Goal 1 in the Albertville Vision/Comprehensive Plan is to maintain and protect Albertville’s small town identity by promoting civic organizations and community events. The proposed amendment helps clarify standards and permits a community center use in the Albertville Plaza PUD, with an interim use permit. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that Chair Buhrmann and Members of the Planning Commission consider the following: MOTION TO: Recommend approval of the ordinance amendment to Sections 200 and 5200 of the Zoning Ordinance, relating to a definition for community centers and updating standards for the Albertville Plaza 1st Addition Planned Unit Development with the findings described within the staff report. MOTION TO: Recommend approval of the amendment to the Albertville Plaza 1st Addition PUD, permitting community centers with accessory prayer services in Lot 1, Block 1 and addressing maintenance of the screening fence.

Luedke, City Clerk Agenda Page 67 Mayor and Council Communication April 6, 2026 SUBJECT: PLANNING – LABEAUX COMMERICAL CENTRE CONCEPT REVIEW RECOMMENDATION: Review the updated concept and provide feedback to the applicant and staff. BACKGROUND: At the August 4, 2025, regular City Council meeting, the Council provided informal feedback to the developer, Java Properties, regarding the development of a vacant parcel on the east side of La Beaux at the future 53rd Street intersection. The site consists of 2 parcels totaling 28.50 acres and is zoned B-2 Limited Business and R-1 Single Family. The previous concept included the following: •7 auto oriented commercial lots: o Gas/convenience store o Tire shop o Fast food with drive-thru o Oil change facility o Coffee shop o Bank o Unknowncommerical use •Continuation of LaCentre Avenue NE (street and trail) through the development from north to south property lines. •Stormwater pond to serve the entire development and partially buffer the adjacent residential. •Screening/buffering from retail and retail/storage users from the adjacent residential. •The part of the site zoned residential was proposed as an oulot and reserved for future residential development. The developer is now considering having the entire site be commercial. Attached is the original concept which is being designed with 6 commercial lots each with a drive through and not 7 lots as the Councill previously reviewed. The revised concept indicates a retail store and potential mini-storage in the area currently guided as residential. KEY ISSUES: •The entire site will need to be rezoned to accommodate the prosed uses •A buffer to adjacent residential will be needed. •A review of the roadway connection to the east. The previous plan had a roadway connection to the existing residential neighborhood to the east. •The developer is also requesting off-premises signage for the two lots that would not be fronting on LaBeaux. Agenda Page 68 Mayor and Council RCA – April 6, 2026 Planning – LaBeaux Commercial Centre Page 2 of 2 POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The development requires a legislative decision by the Council to change the zoning. The Council has the most discretion when rezoning properties. The City Council does not have to accept the proposed change in zoning from residential to commercial. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed development will add tax base and services to the city. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The commercial uses are not allowed under current zoning and rezoning is required. A preliminary plat, final plat, and developer agreement will also be required.
