Review Schedule Application Received: September 29, 2021 Acceptance of Completed Application: September 29, 2021 Planning Commission Meeting: October 25, 2021 Tentative City Council Meeting: November 17, 2020 60-Day Review Deadline: November 28, 2020 Planning Staff Report — Case No. PP2021-069 80th Street Crossing — Minor Subdivision/Preliminary Plat October 25, 2021 Page 2 of 3 History The building located at 6990 80th Street, known as 80th Street Crossing, was constructed in the 1950's as a commercial mall. The site currently contains a multi -tenant shopping center and an automotive repair building. All the existing buildings are legal non -conforming as they do not meet B-2 district's minimum rear yard setback abutting a residential district of 75 feet. In 2016 United Properties Development received preliminary plat, site plan, conditional use per- mit, and a variance approval to subdivide the site into three lots and redevelop the shopping center as shown below. However, the project never came to fruition and the plats were never recorded. 2016 Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Planning Considerations Preliminary Plat The proposed preliminary plat depicts the creation of two lots of record. Lot 1 is proposed to be 123,416 square feet or 2.88 acres and will contain the existing multi -tenant retail building. Lot 2 is proposed to be 43,560 square feet or one acre and will contain the existing automotive repair building. 2 Lot 2 BLOCK t j Lot 1 Preliminary Plat Planning Staff Report — Case No. PP2021-069 80th Street Crossing — Minor Subdivision/Preliminary Plat October 25, 2021 Page 3 of 3 Zoning Standards This parcel is currently zoned B-2, Retail Business District, and is surrounded by commercial uses on the south and east side. Residential uses are located to the north and west of the subject property. As previously stated, the use of the subject property is legal non -conforming as the existing buildings do not meet the required 75-foot rear yard setback when the property abuts a residential district. However, at this time no site improvements are proposed. If any site improve- ments are proposed in the future, they shall conform with the B-2 zoning standards. The proposed lot split would create two conforming parcels that exceed the lot size standards for the district. Since the subject site is adjacent to commercial uses, the minimum lot size is two acres. Lot 1 is proposed to be 2.88 acres, exceeding this requirement. Lots may be reduced to below 10,000 square feet if adjacent to existing commercially zoned areas. The proposed Lot 2 exceeds this requirement as it is 43,560 square feet. The minimum lot width is 100 feet, and the proposed preliminary plat has a minimum width of 151.1 feet. Public Hearing Notices The public hearing notice was mailed to 48 property owners within 500 feet of the proposed minor subdivision and published in the Pioneer Press on October 13, 2021. Staff has not received any comments. Recommendation That the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve a minor subdivision and preliminary plat to subdivide the existing parcel located at 6990 80th Street South into two lots of record, subject to the conditions listed below: 1) Preliminary and final plat approvals shall expire six (6) months after City Council approvals, unless a final plat has been recorded with Washington County or the City Council approves an extension. 2) Cross access, parking, and maintenance agreements shall be reviewed and approved by the City in writing prior to the release of the final plat for recording. 3) The final plat shall include any public drainage and utility easements required by the City Engineer.
