RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend approval of site plan and conditional
use permit for a financialinstitution with drive throughfor the First State Bank of
Rosemount.
SUMMARY
First State Bank of Rosemount is requesting a conditional use permit and site plan review to relocate its
drive-through facility from the west side of its building to the rear. A financial institution with drive-
through is a conditional use within the DT-Downtown Zoning district. Because the property was
developed when the DT ordinance was adopted the property never received a conditional use permit for
its use. The proposed relocation of the drive through facility will bring the site more into compliance with
the Downtown zoning ordinance by placing the canopy behind the building. Staff is recommending
approval of the CUP and site plan.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant/Property Owner: First State Bank of Rosemount
th
Property Location: 3025 145 Street West
Size of Property: 1.06 Acres
Comprehensive Plan Designation: DT-Downtown
Zoning: DT-Downtown District
Current Neighboring Land Uses: North Library; East Multi-Tenant Building; West Commercial
Service; South Commercial Service
Planned Neighboring Land Uses: Downtown
The First State Bank of Rosemount is a 6,700 square foot building that was constructed in 1959 and
currently features a drive-through on the west side of the building with six lanes that exit directly onto
th
145 Street West. If the conditional use permit is approved, the applicant will remove the majority of the
for employees and customers. The new
drive-through -up teller lanes and
one lane for a drive-up ATM. Traffic patterns will change from two entry lanes and eight exit lanes to two
entry and two exit lanes. This redesign reduces potential conflicts between vehicles entering and exiting
th
the site and vehicles on 145 Street West. Also, the number of parking stalls available on the site will
increase by twelve as a result of the change in traffic flow.
SITE PLAN REVIEW
th
The current traffic configuration has two vehicular entrances from 145 Street West and additional access
to South Robert Trail through the parking lot shared with the property to the east. In addition to the two
th
driveway exits onto 145 Street West, the existing drive-through facility features 6 lanes that all exit onto
the street. Staff has worked with the applicant to reduce the number of exit lanes to two to greatly reduce
potential conflicts.
While the City Code requires banks to provide one parking stall for every 400 square feet of gross floor
area, or a required 17 stalls, in all other Commercial districts, the Downtown district is exempt from off-
street parking requirements. The site currently contains 43 parking stalls. Even though 12 stalls will be
removed to accommodate the relocated drive-through, an additional 24 stalls will be created with the
reconfiguration of drive lanes and parking stalls within the site. If the conditional use permit is approved,
the site will end up with 55 stalls.
The exterior surfaces will remain unchanged from the brick that is currently used, and the fascia of the
canopy will be a metal composite material. The pillars supporting the canopy and the new drive-up teller
window will be finished in a brick face veneer to match the existing exterior wall coverings which will be in
brick face.
A new trash enclosure will be built near the rear of the site, and will feature exterior masonry finishes that
City Code requires 8 trees or one for every 3000 square feet of land area, which totals 15 trees. As of now,
the site complies with the ordinance criteriaindicate one tree will be removed, but 4
will be added in addition to extensive foundation and ground plantings. Other proposed changes include
increasing the width of the parking lot island on the western portion of the site to allow for increased
landscaping which will provide additional opportunities to exceed the ordinance minimums.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Conditional use permits (CUP) are considered quasi-judicial actions. In such cases, the City is acting as a
judge to determine if the regulations within the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision
Ordinance are being followed. Generally, if the application meets these requirements it must be approved.
The purpose of conditional use permits is to allow for those uses which are not generally suitable by right
within a given zoning district but may be suitable under some circumstances provided the impacts of the
use (such as health, safety, and public welfare concerns) are addressed, mitigated, or conditioned. Financial
institutions with drive-through facilities are designated as conditional uses within the DT-Downtown
District. For the Planning Commission to recommend approval of a conditional use, eight (8) general
findings must be made:
2
Finding: The proposed relocation of the drive-through will increase safety by reducing the number
th
of traffic lanes that will be exiting the site onto 145 Street West.
Finding: The use and location are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies. The applicant
is not seeking any variances or deviations from the City Code provisions.
Finding: The proposed relocation of the drive-through will make the existing building more
compatible with the intended character of the general vicinity by minimizing the auto-oriented
nature of the use. The site changes will bring the site into compliance with the Downtown zoning
standards.
Finding: The site is already served by public utilities. Relocating the drive-through to the rear of the
building will not require any addition public services or facilities.
mental or hazardous due to the reduction of
traffic lanes exiting the site.
Finding: The reconfiguration of traffic entering and exiting the site will reduce potential
th
interference with traffic on 145 Street West and will have no impact on other surrounding public
streets.
Finding: The proposed project will have little to no environmental impact, nor will it result in the
destruction, loss, or damage of any natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance.
Finding: According to Section 11-4-11.D, financial institutions with drive-through facilities must
meet the following conditions:
The applicant is proposing to
relocate the drive-through from the side to the back of the building.
The canopy does
not extend beyond the sides of the building. A portion of the canopy will remain after the renovation
project; however, that will be used as a sun shelter for employees and patrons who may sit outside.

The traffic flow within the site has been design to
reduce the number of egress lanes from eight to two. The site of the bank abuts commercial and
public/institutional uses and therefore does not affect any residential use or district.
4.
th
The drive-through facility will be fully screened from 145 Street
West by the building. A shared parking lot is located on the rear portion of the site, which is
sheltered to the north by existing trees planted along a parking lot median. . Staff is satisfied with the
screening of the drive-through, and the proposed relocation substantially increases screening.
Staff finds that the drive-through facility as proposed is best positioned to minimize
impacts on adjacent properties.
Twelve parking stalls will be removed to accommodate the
relocated drive-through. Twenty-four stalls will be added, resulting in a net increase of 12 stalls. Staff
has worked with the applicant to design circulation that will result in safer vehicle and pedestrian
movement on the site.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for a financial institution with drive
through facilities and site plan for First State Bank of Rosemount. This recommendation is based on
information provided by the applicant and reviewed above.
