Economic Development Authority (EDA): Initiated discussion on the proposed amendment at their th meeting on November 16. They had concerns with how allowing a B & B would affect redevelopment and that this was similar to “spot zoning” for the benefit of one property owner. They questioned this being inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The EDA (4/0) recommends the City Council analyze and base their decision on consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and how this will impact the surrounding properties and block. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:  2010, the City Council upon a recommendation by the Planning Commission issued a three year interim use permit (IUP) to allow a non-owner occupied rental in an existing single family home located in a B1 Central Business District without a commercial component as required for the property located at 29 Minnesota Street East.  2013, the IUP was extended for an additional three years expiring in 2016, as allowed by the B1 Zoning District.  2016 (August), a request to reissue the IUP was made by Cory Ehlert, the property owner, and the City Council granted a one year IUP, which will expire on August 14, 2017. \[The Planning Commission recommended issuance of a two year IUP\] BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Cory Ehlert has submitted a request to amend the zoning ordinance to allow a non-owner occupied Bed and Breakfast as a Permitted Use in the B-1 Central Business District. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 14, 2016 and a resident spoke in support of the proposed amendment. The B1 Central Business District is the City’s downtown area and permitted uses include commercial, such as restaurants, retail shops, coffee shops, and professional offices. Mixed use development is also permitted and would include street level businesses with upper level residential. The intent of the Central Business District is to encourage the continuation of a viable downtown by promoting uses dependent of high volumes of pedestrian traffic, to provide for regulation of the high intensity commercial uses located within the original core of the City. The City’s downtown offers redevelopment opportunities. Mill Stream Shops and Lofts is an example of a successful redevelopment. 24 North Lofts on College Ave is another mixed use development that has been approved with street level business and upper level residential. The City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies the downtown as a redevelopment area. A Comprehensive Plan is a guide on how the city wants to develop and redevelop so it is futuristic – forward thinking and land use decisions and zoning ordinances are to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, when reviewing this request your decision should be based on future planning, including how it relates to the specific block and the entire downtown area. Analyze how your decision may affect the surrounding properties. Currently, City ordinance allows a Bed and Breakfast in the R-1 Single Family, R-2 Two Family, and R-4 Townhouse/Patio Home Residential Districts as a Conditional Use and a Bed and Breakfast is defined as follows: Bed and Breakfast: An owner occupied single family residence that provides overnight accommodations to a limited number of visitors for a charge, not to exceed a stay of seven consecutive nights. The Planning Commission asked staff to research and define the difference between an Inn from a Bed and Breakfast. Staff researched some 10 plus communities, the MN State Building Code and MN Department of Health (MDH) on the definition of an Inn. We did not find any communities that define an Inn. However, sources (Merriam-Webster, etc.) on the internet define an Inn as a small hotel and lodging and food for travelers so it could include a hotel, guest house, and bed and breakfast. On the other hand, most communities define a Bed and Breakfast. The MN State Building Code and MDH regulate a Bed and Breakfast. Staff has researched the following communities related to allowing B & B’s in their downtown district. Duluth does not allow B & B’s in their downtown district. They allow owner & non-owner B & B’s in their neighborhood type business districts but otherwise it is allowed in residential. They initially developed B & B regulations in the 1980’s and it was quite controversial. B & B’s were meant for large lots with historic homes. In Cold Spring they allow owner-occupied B & B’s in their downtown district as a Special Use. The Pillar Inn Bed & Breakfast is located in their downtown commercial district. The John Oster House and Ferdinand Peter House are located in the downtown commercial district as well. These two homes are on the National Register of Historic Places. They are not B & B’s. In Stillwater they do not allow B & B’s in their downtown. B & B’s must be owner occupied where allowed and be an historic residential structure. They are currently reviewing short term rentals. They anticipate adopting regulations allowing short term rentals but how that will be defined and where allowed has yet to be determined. In St. Cloud they do not allow B & B’s in their downtown business district. They allow B & B’s in their residential districts as a conditional use. Riverside Guest Haus is a B & B in a residential district. Heritage House, a 1904 Queen Anne Victorian and Victorian Oaks, a 1891 Second Empire are B & B’s in St. Cloud. They are on the National Register of Historic Places and located in a residential district. In Sauk Rapids they do not address B & B’s. All of the communities allow mixed use developments with street level business and upper level residential just as St. Joseph does.

At your last meeting in October Cory Ehlert and Joe Prostrollo presented a proposal to operate a Bed and Breakfast at the property.

A non-owner occupied single family residence that provides overnight accommodations to a limited number of visitors for a charge, not to exceed a stay of seven consecutive nights. 3. The requested addition of a Bed & Breakfast as a permitted use in the current zoning ordinance would complement the unique downtown St Joseph has to offer its visitors. St Joseph offers only 1 lodging option on the far east end of the city limits. The goal of the Central business district has been established to encourage the continuation of a viable downtown. The allowance of a B & B would be consistent with the character of our downtown and provide a lodging option within walking distance to eating establishments, a brew pub, coffee shops, shopping and close proximity to the College St Benedict and St John's University. -The allowance of a B&B would have favorable impacts to this property and many of the businesses in the city. The home was built in 1909 and much of the interior character has been preserved and restored. A B&B would assure the long term character of this home and at the same time allow for a use of the property that promotes and compliments existing businesses in downtown St Joseph. -Much of the comprehensive plan encourages the promotion and growth in downtown and developing and attracting businesses that foster the character of our central business district. City of St.Joseph Public Hearing Zoning Ordinance Amendments The St.Joseph Planning Commission will be conducting a public hearing on Monday, November 14, 2016 at 6:00 PM or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard in the St. Joseph City Hall, 25 College Avenue N for the purpose of amending Ordinance 520, Zoning Ordinance, Section 520.04 Rules and Definitions, and Section 520.50 B-1: Central Business District.

INFILL AND REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL A. INFILL POTENTIAL—VACANT LOTS. As a means of helping to maximize the public's investment in infrastructure, the city can draw attention to currently available sites within the municipal service area prior to the development of alternative sites. Additionally, efforts can be made to ensure proper placement and phasing of urban expansion and the maintenance of existing and future land use compatibility. At the time of this comprehensive plan update, a moderate INFILL DEVELOPMENT volume of acreage is contained in vacant lots within residential plats. In addition a few lots within the previously , Defined as building on vacant or built-up urban service area contain a few vacant lots or lots i underutilized lots in previously with detached accessory structures/garages and no principal E built-up urban areas structure. Infill lots within the existing urban area provide a significant opportunity for the city to maximize its investment in existing infrastructure. y-i,mm 'I' "is _111 ';° Infill development is not likely to occur without defined Maximizes investment in existing measures to provide for it. Neighborhood opposition, fear of municipal roadways and utilities increased density or change, incompatible zoning standards (e.g. parking, lot size and setbacks), and costs of specialized development may discourage infill development. /1/07t B. REDEVELOPMENT As illustrated in Map 4-2 at the close of this chapter, potential redevelopment or reinvestment areas are primarily centered in or near the city's core. The city has made a conscious decision to focus 411 -441$ 111 redevelopment efforts on commercial and residential areas/parcels in the more established areas of the city. ��+► � \' The city acknowledges revitalization efforts and resources such as staff time and financial incentives may have a higher rate of return if combined with private investment. Potential barriers to successful redevelopments are similar to those preventing successful infill developments. That is, neighborhood opposition, fear of increased density or change, zoning standards (e.g. parking, lot size and setbacks), and increased costs for specialized development. Priority areas for redevelopment within the City of St. Joseph are the Central Business District and aged areas adjacent to Highway 75. It is noted re-use/redevelopment opportunities within the Central Business District may be forthcoming due to vacancies within student rental houses due to increased on-campus residency requirements initiated by the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University. 2008 City of St.Joseph Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4, Page 5 LAND USE C. AREAS OF STABILITY AND AREAS OF CHANGE .. As illustrated in Map 4-3 at the close of this chapter, AREAS OF STABILITY community members participating in the public input and visioning process were asked to identify areas of Portions of the community where little change is stability within the community and areas of change expected or desired; land use focus is on maintaining within the community. quality of area. Areas of Stability AREAS OF CHANGE Areas of stability are defined as those places where Portions of the community where significant change is the overriding goal for the future is to maintain the expected or desired; land use focus is on reinvestment character of the neighborhood and protect the areas and growth management. from unwelcome influences by inconsistent uses. The city has established local controls which monitor the quality of housing stock, rental housing, and the use of property or portions thereof for outdoor storage, parking, home occupations and the like. In addition, the city has established a collector street system which attempts to reduce through traffic volumes on local residential streets. Commercial and industrial uses adjacent to residential areas are required to provide appropriate buffering and/or screening between non-compatible land uses such as low density residential. At this time the zoning ordinance does not require infill residential units to be compatible in use and scale with the surrounding neighborhood. Areas of Change Areas of change are defined as places where financial investments are desired or expected. Financial investments might be needed for rehabilitation, redevelopment or new construction. Areas of stability should be maintained and examined in terms of adequacy of existing land use controls. Additional investments should be directed toward areas of change. Priority areas for redevelopment within the City of St. Joseph are the Central Business District and aged areas adjacent to Highway 75. It is noted re-use/redevelopment opportunities within the Central Business District may be forthcoming due to vacancies within student rental houses due to increased on-campus residency requirements initiated by the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University. Downtown Revitalization Project:Let's Go Downtown! The city has authorized a downtown revitalization program entitled "Let's Go Downtown!" The revitalization effort began with the knowledge and understanding that the city would convene and oversee the process, but the `heavy lifting' would be performed by the private entities whose time and energy will ultimately determine the effort's success. In April of 2006, the council approved a revitalization plan and authorized/directed formation of the four work groups and commencement of the effort. One of the core principles of this effort has been and will continue to be this is a long-term endeavor that must be supported by the community and its leadership. Since the Let's Go Downtown! project was initiated significant progress has been made in several key areas: • The foot print of downtown has been defined. • A project brand, logo and web page have been created. • Design guidelines for infill and redevelopment in the downtown have been established. • A market research study has been completed. • A matching grant program to assist with architectural and landscape design has been established. 2008 City of St.Joseph Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4, Page 6 1 I tiiiiIiitt II NCf) Q 6MQ < w lMII!
