VII.1. 2023-10 Hopkins Rail Support Facility (1515 6th St S) Review CITY OF HOPKINS
Planning Application 2023-10
To: Planning and Zoning Commission Chair and Members of the Commission
From: Ryan Krzos, City Planner
Date: August 22, 2023
Subject: Hopkins Rail Support Facility (1515 – 6th St S) Review
_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO: Adopt Planning & Zoning Resolution 2023-11, finding that the
proposed Hopkins Rail Support Facility is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
OVERVIEW
The Metropolitan Council via Metro Transit’s Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT)
Extension project is proposing to construct an approximately 24,000 square foot
maintenance facility at 1515 South 6th Street. The facility will be continuously staffed by
approximately 50 full-time equivalent employees to provide support for facilities and
infrastructure throughout the LRT corridor. The proposed building will contain truck
garage, workshop, warehouse, and office spaces. Outdoor storage and exterior
employee parking are proposed on the side and rear of the building.
Metropolitan Council staff will give a presentation on the proposed facility at the
Planning & Zoning Commission meeting. The Planning & Zoning Commission is being
asked to provide feedback and review the proposed facility for compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan.
PRIMARY ISSUES TO CONSIDER
•Background
•P&Z Commission Review
•Alternatives
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
•Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 2023-11
•Project Narrative, Plans, and Exhibits
•Zoning Review
Planning & Development
BACKGROUND
The subject property is zoned I-TOD, Industrial TOD Center and is guided as Activity
Center in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The site is 5.3 acres in size and contains a
regional stormwater facility on the south end that would remain. Surrounding properties
are industrial in use and have a similar I-TOD zoning classification. The subject site
formerly contained an industrial building which was demolished.
Planning for the Green Line LRT extension has been decades in the making. More
recently in 2014, the City gave Municipal Consent for the project, which is a process
where cities along the LRT route respectively review and approve preliminary plans. In
2015, Hopkins gave approval for the project in a second Municipal Consent process,
covering changes in project scope. Up to this point the project plans included an
Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) to be located on the subject site. The City
reviewed a concept plan for the OMF in late 2015 and granted land use approvals in
2016. Due to additional changes to the project and budget considerations the Hopkins
OMF was removed from the project and the Rail Support Facility was proposed. The
main difference is that the OMF was a place to store and maintain Light Rail Vehicles,
whereas the Rail Support Facility services the system’s facilities and infrastructure.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REVIEW
The proposed facility is being brought forward for City feedback and review as opposed
to consideration of formal land use approval – Site Plan Review in this instance.
However, for context, Staff has evaluated the proposed plans against the standards of
the zoning code, which is summarized in the “Zoning Review” attachment. Under State
Law, the Metropolitan Council has the ability to exempt the project from local zoning
jurisdiction. Working in partnership with Metropolitan Council staff, the project was
modified and revised in its design and orientation in keeping with more of the zoning
requirements as described in the attached project narrative. In maintaining this
partnership, the Planning & Zoning Commission is being asked to provide feedback and
review the proposed Rail Support facility for compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan has sections related to land use and transportation
generally in the City. Within the Plan’s land use section, a goal relevant to this proposal
is to maintain and diversify the city’s strong employment base. The policy most directly
related to the proposal is to encourage development of living wage jobs, especially in
the Center and District future land use categories … in close proximity to transit. The
proposed facility will house 50 full-time equivalent positions, in a location that will have
direct access (by new sidewalk connection) and walkability to the Shady Oak LRT
station.
A transportation goal within the Comprehensive Plan relevant to this proposal is to
participate in the development of the Green Line Extension project to expand
transportation and development benefits for the community. The most direct action step
connected to this goal is partner with the County/Metro Transit around Green Line
planning and construction.
Staff finds that the proposed Rail Support Facility would advance the above noted
principles and is consistent with the vision identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve Resolution 2023-11 finding that the proposed Hopkins Rail Support Facility
is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Deny Resolution 2023-11 with a finding that the proposed Hopkins Rail Support
Facility is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Should the Planning &
Zoning Commission consider this option, it should also identify the specific findings
that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further
information is needed, the item should be continued.

Andrew Wright, Chair
Hopkins Rail Support Facility
1515 South 6th St reet, Hopkins, MN
21 July 2023
Overview: The Metropolitan Council via Metro Transit’s Green Line LRT Extension project is proposing to
construct an approximately 24,000 square foot maintenance facility in the City of Hopkins at 1515 South
6th Street.
This maintenance facility, named the Hopkins Rail Support Fa cility (HRSF), is akin to a municipal public
works facility with truck garage, workshop, warehouse, and office spaces. Specifically, the facility is
planned to house approximately 50 full-�me equivalent employees over three shi�s and be staffed
24/7/365.
The 5.3-acre site sits between a large regional stormwater pond to the west, exis�ng industrial
proper�es to the north and east, and a freight rail corridor to the south. The METRO Green Line Shady
Oak Sta�on and park and ride are within walking distance from the facility to the north.
Site design: Project staff have engaged city staff in the design development of this facility. The first
itera�on of the site design had the building oriented such that the overhead garage doors were facing 6th
Street which required drive isles located between the building and the public street and sidewalk. This
orienta�on was needed to help u�lize exis�ng improved soils from the building that was removed from
the site for the project. Upon a request from city staff to rotate the building 90 degrees and place the
office use along the public sidewalk, project staff conducted an addi�onal geotechnical inves�ga�on and
determined that the exis�ng improved soils would support a rotated building. Project staff redesigned
the site and building layout to meet the city’s request. Using the exis�ng improved soil as the base for
the new building saves significa nt cost s.
The proposed site design has a curb cut on either side of the building which leads to parking areas, a
loading dock, and a yard located south of the building . Periodic semi-truck traffic will enter the eastern
driveway and exit through the western driveway in a one-way movement. Daily maintenance trucks and
employees will enter and exit the site at either driveway. Thera are 62 parking space on the site and 2
are electric vehicle ready. There are 8 bike parking spaces adjacent to the main entry. The site contains
approximately 20 new trees including trees along a new public sidewalk on 6th Street South, sod in a reas
closest to the street, seed in areas further from the street and closer to the wetland to the rear,
perennial plan�ng beds by the front entrance and breakroom pa�o (both of which are adjacent to the
public sidewalk bringing eyes on the street ), an irriga�on system for landscaping areas adjacent to the
street, and a row of evergreens along the western property edge screening the loading dock and
driveway. The exterior site lights are full cut off, dark sky compliant and are mounted to the building walls
or pole mounted. Decora�ve landscape ligh�ng highlights the street trees and the flagpole as ground
mounted up lights.
Building Design: The building is comprised of two masses. A single -story mass, with a flat roof line, fronts
the public street and houses the office . A two-story gable roof mass sits behind the lower mass and
houses the truck garage, workshop, and warehouse. A loading dock is atached to the west side of the
two-story mass. A site wall matching the building screens equipment from public view along the eastern
side of the two-story mass. A series of windows around the en�re building provide dayligh�ng to the
interior allowing for less ar�ficial light and energy use.
Building Materials: A combina�on of glass, prefinished metal panels, and architectural concrete clad the
lower mass of the building facing the public street. The entry ves�bule is made of glass storefront. Those
same materials wrap the remainder of the building. The color scheme is a combina�on of gray tones
highlighted with a yellow strip of metal panel along the front façade.
