Next Meeting of the Edina Planning Commission October 10, 2012 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Originator Meeting Date Agenda # VILA Cary Teague September 27, 2012 Community Development Director INFORMATION/BACKGROUND Robb Gruman on behalf of Fairview Southdale Hospital is requesting a Zoning Ordinance Amendment that would allow produce stands in the Regional Medical District, similar to those allowed in the PCD, Planned Commercial District. (See location and applican'ts narritive on pages A3—A8.) As a part of the Do Town initiative, Fairview Hospital would like to have a very small scale farmers' market at the northeast corner of 65th and Drew. (See location on pages A5, A6 and A8.) The market would consist of no more than five vendors, selling, fruit, vegetables, herbs and fresh cut flowers. The market would only be open one day per week, on Tuesdays from 2:00 — 5:00 pm from June through October. This type of use is currently allowed as a permitted accessory use in the PCD -1, PCD -2 and PCD -3 zoning districts. (See existing Ordinance on page A9.) It is listed in the Ordinance as: "Produce stands pursuant to a permit issued by the City Manager." In practice, the City of Edina has had very few requests for this type of use. Occationally, there has been a produce stand at Southdale. The Ordinance before the Planning Commission uses this same concept, but has placed additional restrictions to limit the use. The goal of the ordinance is to allow this type of use on a very limited bases so as to protect existing businesses in Edina that sell this same type of product within an existing retail building. Produce stands are not currently defined in the Zoning Ordinance, therefore, a definition is also recommended, and been added to the proposed Ordinance Amendment. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Ordinance, subject to any revisions that you would deem necessary.

It is our understanding that in order to implement this market, an amendment is needed in the city's zoning ordinances. Fairview is participating in do. Town as a member of both the Edina worksite coalition and the Health Care Leadership Council. We feel this project would add value to our wellness program, enhance patient and visitor experience at the hospital, as well as provide a community benefit to the neighborhood adjacent to the hospital. It also brings the City of Edina one step closer to becoming a do. Town. Fairview has offered several other farmers' markets, located at our University and Riverside Hospitals and at our Stinson office location. They are a great employee morale booster, offer convenience and affordable produce at the worksite, and help strengthen our community partnerships. The Farm to Fairview at Southdale Market will be a small-scale farmers' market on the property of Fairview Southdale Hospital off of 651h and Drew Avenue (see enclosed photograph). The market will consist of no more than 5 vendors, selling locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers. We anticipate having the market open on Tuesdays from 2:00 pm -5:00 p.m. While we realize it is late in the season, we'd like to open the market for a few weeks through mid -late October. We would anticipate a June -October season starting in 2013. Additionally, since the market will be held on Tuesdays, it will not directly compete with the existing Thursday evening market at Centennial Lakes. Vendors will have 10X10 space available and will provide their own tents and equipment. Hand washing and restroom facilities will be available at the hospital through the Emergency Room entrance. The market is not in a parking lot; therefore parking spaces are not affected. Parking will be available for vendors in the adjacent power plant parking lot. We do not anticipate this being a destination market; therefore nearby customer, patient, or employee parking will not be affected. As a proud supporter of do. Town, we feel that having a farmers market at our hospital will have a positive impact on our community, our employees, and those who visit or seek services from Fairview Southdale Hospital. Everyone can benefit from having fresh, local produce in a convenient location, encouraging healthy living and fostering a community of shoppers who buy local. We thank you for considering our request. Sincerely, Bradley Beard, Fairview Southdale Hospital President A-7 Proposed location for Farm to Fairview, Southdale Farmers' Market power punt building. Parking for vendors will be available in the power plant parking lot. All vendors will be required to follow health codes and keep food off the ground. City of Edina Sexually oriented businesses.
