Re:
Sketch Plan Review – 6016 Vernon Avenue (Station Pizza)
The Planning Commission is asked to consider a sketch plan proposal to remodel the
existing Kee’s auto repair shop at 6016 Vernon Avenue into a take-out and delivery only
Station Pizzeria. The existing site is zoned PCD-4, Planned Commercial District, which
allows only automobile service centers, gas stations and car washes. Restaurants are
permitted uses in the PCD-1, Planned Commercial Zoning District.
To accommodate the request the following would be required:
A Rezoning from PCD-4, Planned Commercial District 4 to PCD-1, Planned
Commercial District 1;
A Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Medium Density Residential to
Neighborhood Commercial, or a land use designation that would allow
Commercial Uses.
As with all sketch plan reviews, the Planning Commission is asked to provide non-binding
comments and direction on a potential future development request. Areas of focus should
be on the following:
The Proposed land use. Is this an appropriate land use for the site?
Comprehensive Plan. Should the Comprehensive Plan be amended for commercial
use?
Zoning. Is PCD-1 the appropriate zoning district?
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424

Issues/considerations:
Excess Parking & Green Space. Based on the City’s parking standards, the site would exceed
the parking minimum. If these spaces are not necessary, perhaps the existing pavement could
be replaced with green space and landscaping and reduce some of the nonconforming
setbacks.
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
Screening of parking. Per Section 36-1457 (4) of the Zoning Ordinance: “Off-street parking
facilities containing six or more spaces and all loading facilities shall be screened from streets
located within 50 feet, and from lots which are used for any residential purpose which are
located within 50 feet. Said distance shall be the shortest distance between the parking
facility or loading facility and the nearest part of the street or the nearest lot line of the
residential lot.” This site is located within 50 feet of residential uses to the west and north.
Landscaping is proposed along the north and west lot lines, as well as a 6-foot fence to
provide screening. The majority of the landscaping would be outside of the new fence to
benefit adjacent residential properties.
Screening of the principal building. Per Section 36-1457 (1) of the Zoning Ordinance:
“Nonresidential principal buildings or structures, and any building or structure accessory
thereto, shall be screened from lots in the R-1 district which are used for single dwelling unit
buildings and which are located within 200 feet of the nonresidential use. The distance shall
be the shortest distance between the nonresidential building or structure to be screened and
the nearest lot line of the R-1 district lot but shall not extend across a street.”
Trash Enclosure. Detailed information would have to be provided for the trash enclosure.
Trash storage facilities, including recycling storage facilities, shall be screened from all lot
lines and public road rights-of-way. As proposed the trash enclosure would be located right
on the lot line. Per Section. 36-1460 all required screening shall be located on the lot
occupied by the use, building, facility or structure to be screened. No screening shall be
located upon any public road right-of-way, or within 20 feet of the traveled portion of a
street.
Sidewalks. A sidewalk would be required to be installed along Vernon Avenue per the Bike
and Pedestrian Master Plan.
Hours of Operation. Proposed hours of operation would be Sunday – Thursday 11 am to 9
pm. Friday – Saturday 11am to 10 pm.

RE: 6016 Vernon Avenue Sketch Plan
Mr. Teague,
Our team is proposing the redevelopment of the property at 6016 Vernon Ave, which was previously
Kevin Key’s auto shop. The scope would include updating the existing structure, transforming it into a
take-out and delivery only Station Pizzeria.
As there is no indoor dining, the facility requires no seating. The design will extensively beautify and
screen the property, as well as utilizing scrubbers on the exhaust hoods to mitigate any aromas. We are
proposing 21 parking stalls, which will adequately service Station Pizzeria’s employees, ranging between
2 and 8, and customers. The proposed hours of operation would be 11am – 9pm Sunday through
Thursday and 11am – 10pm Friday and Saturday.
We strongly believe that this concept will be a great amenity for the area and takes into consideration
any possible concerns surrounding residents might have.
Sincerely,
Momentum Design Group, LLC.

residential uses are also subject to following:
New rental multi-family developments containing 20 units or more shall provide a minimum of ten percent residential units at 50
percent area median income (AMI) or 20 percent residential units at 60 percent AMI.
New for-sale developments shall provide a minimum of ten percent of residential units at AMI.
Rental and for-sale/owner occupied affordable units shall provide the following:
On-site parking (either surface or enclosed) for affordable units and the cost related to parking must be included affordable sales
price or affordable rental rate. At least one enclosed parking space shall be included in the purchase price of a for-sale unit in the
same manner offered to buyers of market rate units.
Affordable and market rate residents will have equal access to all entries, lobbies, elevators, parking and amenities. Examples of
amenities include storage lockers, balconies, roof decks, outdoor patios, pools, fitness facilities, and similar unit and project
features.
Exterior appearance of affordable units shall be visually comparable with market rate units in the development.
New rental housing will remain affordable for a minimum of 20 years if seeking a PUD or rezoning without city financing or 30-years if
city financing is approved. This requirement will be memorialized by a Land Use Restrictive Covenant.
New for-sale or owner-occupied developments will remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years and this requirement will be
memorialized by a land use restrictive covenant. The land use restrictive covenant will contain a provision providing the housing and
redevelopment authority or Edina Housing Foundation the right of first refusal to purchase affordable units.
The developers and/or owners of multi-family rental housing projects subject to this policy by receiving financial assistance shall accept
tenant-based rental housing assistance including but not limited to Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, HOME tenant-based assistance
and Housing Support. Tenants with rental assistance may occupy an affordable dwelling unit with the rent charged not exceeding the
maximum allowed by Metro HRA or the assistance provider. Furthermore, the rent charged may not exceed the maximum allowed by
the most restrictive funding source. This requirement will be enforced through a contract between the city of the project owner
pursuant to which the owner will be required to adopt business practices that promote fair housing and provide documentation of
compliance with these requirements to the city. This requirement will be further enforced through the city's monitoring policies and
procedures.
Owners of city-assisted housing projects shall affirmatively market affordable housing opportunities. All multi-family housing providers
subject to this policy must submit an Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP) at lease every five years and a survey and
certification regarding AFHMP outcomes annually. Owners must advertise housing opportunities on HousingLink or another medium

Recognizing that affordable housing is created through a partnership between the city and developers, the city and/or housing and
redevelopment authority will consider the following incentives for developments that provide affordable housing:
Reserved.
Parking requirement reductions.
Tax increment financing for projects that exceed the minimum requirement.
Deferred low interest loans from the housing and redevelopment authority and/or Edina Housing Foundation.
Property tax abatement.
In lieu of providing affordable housing in each new qualifying development, the city may consider the following:
Dedication of existing units in Edina to 110 percent of what would have been provided in a proposed new development. These units
would need to be of an equivalent quality within the determination of the city.
Financial risk and participation in the construction of affordable dwelling units of an equivalent quality by another developer on a
different site within the city.
An alternative proposed by a developer that directly or indirectly provides or enables provision of an equivalent amount of
affordable housing within the city. An alternative could be payment of a Total Buy In (TBI) fee, a cash payment to the city in lieu of
providing affordable housing units. The TBI shall be equal to $175,000 per unit rounding up to the next whole unit. The TBI would be
due in cash or certified funds in full to the city at the time of issuance of the building permit. A building permit will not be issued
unless the TBI is paid in full. The city council may allow the housing developer to pre-pay the TBI to satisfy a future Affordable
Housing Opportunity on a case-by-case basis. TBI will be deposited into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to be used for the
development and preservation of affordable housing.
As allowing maximum density was intended to serve as a density bonus for the inclusion of affordable units, for mixed use
developments that have densities 50 percent or greater of the maximum allowed density, affordable units must be included in the
development. For residential developments with densities 75 percent of the maximum allowed density, affordable units must be
included in the development. For example:
If zoning allows between 50-100 units per acre, and the residential development is 50-87 units per acre, the developer/owner may
elect to include the affordable units into the development, pay the TBI fee, or an approved alternative.
If the proposed development is 88-100 units per acre, the development must include affordable units within the building.
