Mr Johnson and Carlson Properties have requested an amendment to the previously approved planned unit development to occupy 6,038 sq. ft. of the former Knowlan's Supermarket. A PUD amendment is the appropriate process for the site plan review because of the change in use from retail to restaurant and the required changes in performance standards, particularly parking requirements.. The review assesses the impact of the new use within the larger shopping center taking into consideration the remaining available space and expansion area. The cumulative effect of overall parking demand for the entire building when fully occupied may result in land use limitations for the building expansion previously approved on the east side of the building. WALLEYE'S BAR GRILL Walleye's Bar Grill is a full- service restaurant that will include a bar. It is considered an eating and drinking estabhshment which is a permitted use in the C -4, General Commercial zoning district. The pending ordinance amendment recommendanons for the commercial zoning districts will have no impact on this use Approximately 2,000 sq. ft or about 1 /3 of the overall space is available for seating including about 800 sq. ft. at the bar. There is also a game area that will include several dart boards, video games, and pinball machines. No pool tables will be mcluded. There is no outdoor seating proposed with the restaurant use. The menu will be chef -driven and include steak, ribs, smoked pork and seafood. Walleye will be the only fresh -water fish on the menu, but will not be the dominant menu theme. Ultimately, full service, up -scale breakfast is proposed, with an opening time of 5 am A Sunday brunch with an omelet and meat carving station would be included. Fox's Pizza Den is currently located at 15092 Claret Avenue in an existing retail center. Fox's Pizza will be relocated and combined with Walleye's and mamtam its own identity Chicago deep -dish pizza will be part of the menu and take -out and dehvery service will be available. About 1 /3 of the kitchen area will be devoted to the pizza preparation. The sign on the building will include both the Walleye's Bar Grill logo and the Fox's Pizza, although the latter will be somewhat smaller. The interior decor will be reminiscent of a rustic north woods cabin. ROSEMOUNT MARKET SQUARE BACKGROUND Rosemount Market Square is a commercial planned unit development that was built in 1994 anchored by a 25,000 sq. ft. grocery store. The property also had sufficient space for a 15,000 sq. ft. addition to the grocery store. Knowlan's Supermarket vacated the site in 2000; since that time only 6,142 sq. ft. has been occupied by Seestedt's flooring The Burger King and Valvoline sites were also onginally part of the PUD but both occupy separate lots and are more "stand- alone" with exclusive parking and circulation. Applicant: Owner: Location: Bob Johnson of Walleye's, also owner of Fox's Pizza Den (15092 Claret Ave.). Ron Carlson, Carlson Properties. Rosemount Market Square, 3420 150 Street West PARKING Rosemount Market Square qualifies as a shopping center for a parking standard of five spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. This is the most permissive parking standard for retail uses and is also the standard for office space. The standard assumes shared trips among the tenants of the shopping center. However, the parking standards also require examining the uses to ensure that the overall available parking aligns with the individual demands of the uses Restaurants have a parking requirement based upon the number of seats which is often higher than general retail. For example, the Walleye's restaurant requires 40 spaces based upon 120 seats. The 6,344 sq. ft of space as a retail use would otherwise require only 32 spaces. The building has two other restaurants which mcrease the calculation of required parking based upon seating. Seng Foon has 40 seats which doubles their parking requirement over retail. Pizza Man only has eight seats; however, as its primary use is take -out business. Therefore, Pizza Man's parking requirement is only three spaces (rounded) instead of seven as it would be for retail.

The intent was to build all of the required parking within the first phase so the expansion would consist of building only. Based on the summary above, the original parking requirement 2 would be 309 if the grocery store had expanded resulting in a surplus of 19 spaces. As a result, Lender's would no longer be able to fit within the standards. At the time the PUD was originally approved the standard was based strictly on retail as restaurants were not yet known to be part of the mix of uses. The subsequent conversion of retail uses to restaurants with higher parking demand reduces the surplus and could even turn into a deficit. The balance of the available space plus the expansion area equals about 28,210 sq. ft. If the balance is retail, the additional required parking would be 142 spaces m addition to the current 191 resulting in 333 spaces as the total parking requirement. The result is a deficit of required parking of five spaces excluding Lender's. Lender's Flower Mart displaces 32 parking spaces and adds 10 to requirement. If any of the vacant space is converted to restaurant versus a retail use then the deficit increases. Therefore, the expansion area may have to be scaled back to include some parking just to meet current requirements. Staff has learned that Walleye's has an exclusivity feature in their lease that will restrict additional restaurants. There is also an ability to exclude mechanical and restroom areas from square footage calculations which could be apphed to the retail requirements (but not restaurants). Staff believes further research into the parking situation at the site would be warranted when the prior to construction of the previously approved building addition. Because the Lender's operation is seasonal it must be taken into consideration but should not be wholly treated as a permanent, continuous use. With the retail addition and the current restaurant and retail mix, the center needs 333 spaces by ordinance and 328 are available. Traffic circulation, proximity of ample parking to tenant bays and the presence of seasonal uses on site all should be reviewed before the addition can be built. Approval of a PUD amendment will be required if the expansion area is built in order to get a building pernut. At that tune, another parking assessment will be done. For now, the property owner has not indicated an intention to construct the previously approved building addition in the near future Staff will continue to momtor the parking situation and evaluate the parking demands of the site as tenants change. This is consistent with all retail centers in the community A condition of approval also requires a separate sign permit consistent with the shopping center sign plan is required when Walleye's installs its wall signage CONCLUSION Staff recommends approval of the PUD minor amendment for Walleye's in Rosemount Market Square. It is consistent with Council direction to diversify restaurant choices in Rosemount It must be noted that while full occupancy of the existing building may not result in a deficit of required parking, expansion of the building will hkely create a deficit, especially with the continuation of special events for transient merchants such as Lmder's Therefore, a PUD major amendment will be required to review any building additions in Rosemount Market Square. Possible outcomes could be that a portion of the expansion area will have to be allocated for parking or the parking study shows that shared parking and off -peak uses allow the property to function adequately with the addition.
