Sec. 36-436. - Interim uses of elementary, junior and senior high school buildings owned by independent school district No. 273.

(a)

Purpose and intent. The council recognizes that several public elementary, junior high and senior high school buildings owned by independent school district No. 273 (the "school district") have been, or will be, wholly or partly, closed for public education purposes due to the decreasing school age population of the school district. It further recognizes that many such buildings will be retained in school district ownership in order that they may be reused for public education purposes in the future if the school district's school age population increases. Therefore, the council has determined that the school buildings should be allowed to be temporarily occupied by appropriate uses during this interim period in order to preserve a substantial public investment, to prevent the deterioration of such public properties, thereby adversely impacting surrounding private properties, to prevent an undue financial burden upon the school district, and to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the residents of the city. However, it is not the purpose and intent of this section to allow the permanent reuse of such public school buildings for the interim uses permitted or allowed by this section.

(b)

Permitted interim uses.

(1)

Schools for teaching music, dance, arts or business vocations which do not require a conditional use permit pursuant to subsection (d) of this section; and

(2)

Administrative offices and meeting rooms (excluding lodge halls) for private nonprofit organizations and counseling services, which, together with the other such offices and meeting rooms in the same public school building, do not occupy, in the aggregate, in excess of the minimum percentage of gross floor area set out in subsection (d)(1)a of this section, and if such offices and meeting rooms do not require a conditional use permit pursuant to subsection (d)(1)b of this section.

(c)

Termination of all interim uses. If all or any part of any public school building, or the land upon which it is located, is disposed of or transferred to private ownership by deed, contract for deed, lease for more than three years or by other means, all interim uses shall cease and the building and land shall then be used for only principal uses, and accessory uses permitted in the zoning district in which the land is situated, or allowed conditional uses pursuant to the grant of a conditional use permit.

(d)

Conditional interim uses.

(1)

Only the following interim uses are allowed subject to the grant of a conditional use permit:

a.

Administrative offices and meeting rooms for private nonprofit organizations and counseling services, which, together with the other such offices and meeting rooms in the same public school building will, in the aggregate, occupy 35 percent or more of the gross floor area of the building; and

b.

Administrative offices and meeting rooms for private nonprofit organizations, and counseling services and schools for teaching music, arts, dance or business vocations, which are open for operations between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on three or more days per week.

(2)

No conditional use permit shall be issued unless the council finds that the hours of operation of the proposed uses will be complementary to other uses in the building or on the property and will not adversely impact the residential character of surrounding properties.

(Code 1970; Code 1992, § 850.11(4))

Editor's note— Section 2 of Ord. No. 2022-01, adopted Jan. 19, 2022, changed the title of § 36-438 from "Requirements for building coverage, setbacks and height" to read as herein set out.

Sec. 36-439. - Special requirements.

In addition to the general requirements described in article XII, division 2 of this chapter, the following special requirements shall apply in the Single Dwelling Unit District (R-1):

(1)

Special setback requirements for single dwelling unit lots.

a.

Established front street setback. When more than 25 percent of the lots on one side of a street between street intersections, on one side of a street that ends in a cul-de-sac, or on one side of a dead-end street, are occupied by dwelling units, the front street setback for any lot shall be determined as follows:

1.

If there is an existing dwelling unit on an abutting lot on only one side of the lot that has a front street setback on the same street, the front street setback requirement shall be the same as the front street setback of the dwelling unit on the abutting lot on the same street; or the front street setback shall be the average front street setback of all other dwelling units on the same side of that street, between intersections.

2.

If there are existing dwelling units on abutting lots on both sides of the lot that both have a front street setback on the same street, the front street setback shall be the average of the front street setbacks of the dwelling units on the two abutting lots on the same street; or the front street setback shall be the average front street setback of all other dwelling units on the same side of that street, between intersections.

b.

Side street setback. The required side street setback shall be increased to that required for a front street setback where there is an adjoining interior lot facing on the same street. The required side street setback for a garage shall be increased to 20 feet if the garage opening faces the side street.

c.

Rear yard setback, interior lots. If the rear lot line is less than 30 feet in length, or if the lot forms a point at the rear and there is no rear lot line, then, for setback purposes, the rear lot line shall be deemed to be a straight line segment within the lot not less than 30 feet in length, perpendicular to a line drawn from the midpoint of the front lot line to the junction of the interior lot lines, and at the maximum distance from the front lot line.

d.

Rear yard setback, corner lots required to maintain two front street setbacks. The owner of a corner lot required to maintain two front street setbacks may designate any interior lot line measuring 30 feet or more in length as the rear lot line for setback purposes. In the alternative, the owner of a corner lot required to maintain two front street setbacks may deem the rear lot line to be a straight line segment within the lot not less than 30 feet in length, perpendicular to a line drawn from the junction of the street frontages to the junction of the interior lot lines, the line segment being the maximum distance from the junction of the street frontages.

e.

Through lots. For a through lot, the required setback for all buildings and structures from the street upon which the single dwelling unit building does not front shall be not less than 25 feet.

f.

Sidewall articulation for a principal structure. In order to avoid the monotonous appearance of long, unbroken building facades from abutting properties, the length of an exterior side wall shall not exceed 30 feet without a) a minimum of at least a one-foot deep by ten-foot-wide offset (projecting or recessed) or b) a combination of at least two of the following architectural or utilitarian features within every 30 feet or less:

1.

Structural windows, doors, awnings or canopies.

2.

Projecting bay or box windows.

3.

Stoops.

(2)

Accessory dwelling units shall comply with the following:

a.

Accessory dwelling units shall only be permitted on lots where the principal use is a single dwelling unit building.

b.

There shall be no more than one accessory dwelling unit permitted per lot.

c.

Accessory dwelling units may be attached to, detached from, or internal to a single dwelling unit building. Accessory dwelling units must be fully separated from the principal dwelling unit by means of a wall or floor and have a separate entrance than the principal dwelling unit. The separating wall may have a door connecting the accessory dwelling unit to the principal dwelling unit.

d.

The accessory dwelling unit shall not be sold independently of the principal dwelling unit and may not be a separate tax parcel.

e.

Rental of either the accessory dwelling unit or principal dwelling unit requires a rental license pursuant to chapter 10 of the City Code. Only one unit (either the accessory dwelling unit or principal dwelling unit) may be rented at one time.

f.

Accessory dwelling units shall not exceed 1,000 square feet of floor area except that an accessory dwelling unit located within an existing basement of a single dwelling unit building may occupy the entire basement.

g.

The accessory dwelling unit and principal dwelling unit must comply with all current Minnesota Residential Code provisions.

h.

The accessory dwelling unit must be connected to municipal sewer and water. Connections for water and sanitary sewer shall be provided from service lines shared with the principal dwelling unless otherwise approved by the Public Works Director.

i.

Accessory dwelling units that are attached or internal to the single dwelling unit building shall be subject to the following:

i.

Shall abide by the height and setback requirements for the single dwelling unit building.

ii.

The creation of the accessory dwelling unit shall not result in additional entrances facing the public street.

The sale area is located in a suitable off-street location that does not interfere with traffic circulation on the site or obstruct parking spaces needed by the principal use on the site.

d.

The sale area is not located within 200 feet of a property zoned and used for residential occupancy.

e.

The hours of operation do not extend beyond 10:00 p.m.

f.

Signage is limited to one sign per street frontage with an aggregate sign area not exceeding 100 square feet.

(7)

Additions to, or replacement of, single dwelling unit buildings and buildings containing two dwelling units. For additions, alterations and changes to, or rebuilds of, existing single dwelling unit buildings and buildings containing two dwellings, the first-floor elevation may not be more than one foot above the existing first floor elevation, unless one of the conditions in (8) below exists on the site. If a split-level dwelling is torn down and a new home is built, the first- floor elevation of the dwelling unit being torn down is deemed to be the lowest elevation of an entrance to the dwelling, excluding entrance to the garage and entrances that do not face a street.

(8)

If one of the conditions below exist on site, the one-foot requirement in (7) above could be increased to the minimum extent possible, as long as the low floor elevation is no higher than 2.5 feet above the high-water elevation and the basement ceiling height is no taller than nine feet.

a.

There is a 100-year flood elevation, as established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), or the city's comprehensive water resource management plan; or

b.

The first-floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to reasonably protect the dwelling from groundwater intrusion. Existing and potential groundwater elevations shall be determined in accordance with accepted hydrologic and hydraulic engineering practices. Determinations shall be undertaken by a professional civil engineer licensed under Minn. Stats. ch. 326, or a hydrologist certified by the American Institute of Hydrology. Studies, analyses and computations shall be submitted in sufficient detail to allow thorough review and approval; or

c.

The first-floor elevation may be increased to the extent necessary to allow the new building to meet the state building code, this Code or other statutory requirements.

b.

New for-sale developments shall provide a minimum of ten percent of residential units at AMI.

c.

Rental and for-sale/owner occupied affordable units shall provide the following:

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

Exterior appearance of affordable units shall be visually comparable with market rate units in the development.

d.

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.

e.

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.

f.

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.

g.

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 acceptable to the city concurrent with any other public or private advertising.

2.

Parking requirement reductions.

3.

Tax increment financing for projects that exceed the minimum requirement.

4.

2.

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.

3.

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.

j.

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:

1.

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.

2.

If the proposed development is 88-100 units per acre, the development must include affordable units within the building.

k.

The owners and their agents of multi-family rental and ownership properties subject to this policy must cooperate with the city's compliance officer during the affordability period. Noncompliance may be grounds for suspension of the rental license.
