VII.1. Site Plan for Façade Improvements at the Hopkins Professional Clinic; Youngquist August 6, 2018 City Council Report 2018-089 Site Plan for Façade Improvements at the Hopkins Professional Clinic Proposed Action: Move to adopt Resolution 2018-064, approving the site plan for façade improvements at the Hopkins Professional Building located at 29 9th Avenue North. Overview The applicant, Hopkins Professional Building, requests site plan approval for façade improvements to the main entrance of the building at 29 9th Avenue North. The subject property is located on the east side of 9th Avenue North between Mainstreet and 1st Street North. The Hopkins Professional Building houses the Hopkins Eye Clinic, Mainstreet Dental, and a podiatry office. The applicant is a recipient of a grant from the City of Hopkins’ Façade Improvement Grant Program, which was established to enhance the vitality and aesthetic character of downtown. The grants provide funding assistance to property or business owners within Downtown Hopkins between 7th Avenue and 11th Avenue and between 1st Avenue North and 1st Avenue South for façade improvements. The grants pays for up to 50 percent of the cost of the improvements, up to $25,000. Both the Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of the site plan application.

The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing to review this item during its regular meeting on July 24, 2018. After a summary presentation from staff, the Commission opened the public hearing. No comments from the public were provided. The Commission voted 6-0 to recommend that the City Council approve this request. Background. The applicant is proposing to improve the western façade of the Hopkins Professional Building. The existing cedar shakes will be removed from the mansard roof and clad with a dark blue-gray fiber cement siding, which will wrap three feet around the north side of the building and will include a five foot wide swath that extends down the southwest corner of the building. The existing vestibule entry will remain and will be covered in a similar siding with a contrasting amber-brown color. The original exposed brickwork will be covered with a synthetic stucco in a cream color. The same color will be used to paint the north side of the building. The applicant has received a building permit for an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible ramp and railings that will ramp up from the north, parallel to the public sidewalk, to a landing by the vestibule doors. Steps will provide access to the landing from the south. The ADA accessible ramp will be constructed along with the façade improvements. Legal Authority. Review of the applicant’s site plan application is considered a quasi-judicial action. In such cases, the City is acting as a judge to determine if the regulations within the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance are being followed. The applicable standards for this application, along with staff’s findings for each, are detailed in the “Primary Issues to Consider” section below. Site Plan Review. Standards for reviewing a site plan application are detailed in Section 526 of the City Code. This section establishes site plan review procedures and provides regulations pertaining to the enforcement of site design standards. Section 526.01(d) of the City Code requires site plan approval for reconstruction, replacement, or remodeling of material on 50 percent or more of any part of the exterior of an existing building that abuts public right-of-way 50 feet or more in width. Land Use and Zoning Standards. The subject property is guided Commercial by the Comprehensive Plan and zoned B-2, Central Business. The property also lies within the Downtown Overlay District, which serves to preserve the small-town, unique character of Mainstreet Hopkins; complement the existing historic architecture; enhance the pedestrian orientation of Downtown Hopkins; encourage streetscape design that is inviting and on a human scale; and communicate the community’s vision for the Mainstreet area. According to the Comprehensive Plan, Commercial land uses offer a wide variety of goods and services and Commercial uses located downtown largely serve local needs and specialty market niches. The B-2 Central Business zoning district includes clinics as a permitted use. Therefore, continued use of the Hopkins Professional Building as an eye, dental, and podiatry clinic is consistent with land use and zoning standards. The Downtown Overlay District has additional standards that are evaluated in the following sections. Exterior Building Materials. The Downtown Overlay District requires building renovations to be constructed to be long lasting and use materials that maintain the distinct character and City Council Report 2018-089 Page 3 harmony of the downtown. The proposed design consists of two main building materials: fiber cement siding and synthetic stucco. The materials and improvements will result in clean lines on the front façade of the building, which is consistent with the aesthetics of the Wilkus Architects building, located at 15 9th Avenue North, two parcels south of the subject property. This style complements and does not detract from the historic character of the buildings along Mainstreet. Signage. Signage standards in the Downtown Overlay District require that signs be compatible with the style, composition, materials, colors and details of the building and with signs on other nearby buildings. The maximum area of a single sign in the B-2 Central Business zoning district is 60 square feet. The applicant’s plan calls for a 40 square foot sign to be located on the upper portion of the vestibule. The sign appears to be compatible with the materials used on the façade. Signs on the nearby buildings along 9th Avenue North are also located above or at the main entrances. It should be noted that the sign must be approved through a separate administrative sign permit. Exterior Lighting. Lighting standards in the Downtown Overlay District require that lighting be indirect with the light source hidden from direct pedestrian and motorist view. The district standards encourage shaded gooseneck lamps for sign illumination. The applicant’s plans indicate that recessed lighting will extend under the soffit of the roofline and gooseneck lights on the vestibule will illuminate the signs, which is consistent with the standards. Windows and Doors. The Downtown Overlay District requires that a minimum of 30 percent of the ground level façade and side of buildings adjacent to public streets shall consist of transparent materials. The applicant’s plans show four windows on the front of the building with large windows and a glass door on the front of the vestibule, which comprise approximately 42 percent of the front of the building excluding the parapet along the roofline. Therefore, the plans meet the standard.
