CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- -ARTS FACILITY
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 96 -90. approving a
conditional use permit to construct the arts facility between 1 lth and 12th Avenues, abutting
Mainstreet.
At the October 29, 1996, Zoning and Planning meeting, Mr. Blair moved and Mr. Engel
seconded a motion to approve Resolution RZ96 -17. The motion carried unanimously.
Overview.
The Hopkins HRA is proposing to construct a 34,400 - square -foot arts facility on the north
side of Mainstreet between 11th and 12th Avenues. The arts facility will be a multi - function
building and contain the following features:
o 742 seat theater with a balcony
o 2,980 square foot proscenium stage
o visual arts gallery
o multi - purpose community performance and recital hall
o multi - purpose space designed for rehearsals and community activities
o dance studio
o open -air plaza
o kitchen facility
The main entrance to the building will be from Mainstreet.
The proposed building will also require the granting of a side yard, rear yard and height
variances.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
o What are the specifics of the proposed development?
o What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?

Primary Issues to Consider
o What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan
designated the subject site?
The site is zoned B -3, General Business, and the Comprehensive Plan has designated the site
as commercial. The proposed use complies with both documents.
o What are the specifics of the development?
Landscaping
The site will maintain the existing "mainstreet theme" along Mainstreet. Additional
landscaping provided on the site will be on the east, west and north sides. The northeast side
of the building will be extensively planted with shrubs. The site is required to have 34 trees.
Because of the "downtown" appearance of the building, 34 trees is not practical for the site.
The ordinance does allow the Council to waive the landscaping requirements, which the staff
would support in this situation.
Fire Marshal
The Fire Marshal has reviewed the proposed development and found it acceptable for access
and water supply.
Public Works
Page 2
CR96 -171
The public works department reviewed the proposed arts facility and had the following
comments:
o It appears the alley between the facility and U S West offices will become a
one -way. Staff will need to inform U.S. West of this matter. The alley is
proposed to be reconstructed with concrete in 1998.
o One stall in the parking lot will need to be designated for handicap parking.
o The plan indicates one -eight inch roof drain. Staff needs to determine that this
is sufficient to accommodate the large roof area. The proposed PVC roof
drain system needs a manhole connection to the existing storm sewer in 11th
Avenue North.
o The development will need Nine Mile Creek Watershed District approval.
Parking and Traffic
The site is not required to have any on -site parking because the site abuts a B -2 zoning
district. The site does have five parking spaces on the north side. A traffic study was
completed to review both the theater and arts facility developments' impact on the traffic and
parking. The study indicated that there was sufficient parking to accommodate both

developments. Changes have been made in the roadway system to hopefully accommodate
both developments. If adjustments need to be made after the theater /restaurant opens, these
can be done before the arts facility opens. The parking ramp is available for the arts facility
patrons to use.
The architect is proposing that Mainstreet is a "no- parking" bus/drop off zone. The staff
would also recommend that Mainstreet is a drop off zone. The theater /restaurant on the south
side of Mainstreet has a drop -off zone.
Trash
There are two trash areas located on the north side of the site. One area is located on the
west and the second on the east. The trash areas will be enclosed. The Public Works
Department has concerns regarding the location and size of the trash receptacles. Their
concern is that if the City picks up the trash, the trash receptacles have to be moved closer to
the alley because of the automated system.
Sidewalk
There will be sidewalks on 11th, 12th and Mainstreet. The area along Mainstreet will be a
plaza type setting. This plaza will accommodate an area for individuals to gather before and
after an event.
Access
The site is surrounded by three streets and an alley. However, there is limited vehicle access
on site. The only parking area on site is five parking spaces abutting the alley. All other
access to the building is pedestrian access.
Exterior
The exterior will be similar to the theater /restaurant to the south with the pre - colored rockface
concrete block. The tall exterior walls of the stage shall be constructed of load bearing
painted precast concrete panels.
The Mainstreet side of the building will be the lobby. The lobby will be curved and have an
exterior of large green tinted glass and architectural- precast concrete with a limestone color
finish.
Lighting
The lighting on Mainstreet will remain.

Firestone on the west and the U.S. West building on the north.
o What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the proposed arts facility with the Commission. Dan O'Brien, the
architect, appeared before the Commission. Mr. O'Brien reviewed the site plan with the
Commission. The Commission discussed the lighting, drainage, location of trash receptacles,
fire protection, sidewalk, and the exterior. No one in the audience spoke on this issue
1. Approve the conditional use permit to construct an arts facility. By approving the
conditional use permit, the arts facility will be able to be constructed.

2. Deny the conditional use permit to construct an arts facility. By denying the conditional
use permit, the arts facility will not be able to be constructed. If the City Council
considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
