Unanimously approved on May 23, 2006
The applicant, Flint Hills Resources, LP, requests an Interim Use Permit "IUP') to allow the
assembly of a temporary "sprung steel" building for warehouse /cold storage for two capital projects
within the Refinery site. Flint Hills is currently using two similar buildings for office and warehouse
space as part of the Utlra Low Sulfur Diesel "Hydrocacker" construction project Those structures
were also approved through an IUP in 2004 (Planning Case No 04 -67) which is scheduled to expire
on September 1, 2006 Should the City approve this request, Flint Hills would remove one of those
buildings and relocate the other for this warehouse use under a new IUP. The new IUP would expire
on May 1, 2010.
The structure will be 60' wide, 147' long and 26' high (approximately 8,820 square feet) and
resemble an oblong dome with a peaked roof. Visibility of the structure should be limited, given the
proposed location approximately 0 4 mile from Blaine Avenue and 0.7 mile from Highway 52.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission held a pubhc heanng to review this item on May 23, 2006. Draft excerpt
minutes for that meeting are attached for your reference Afrer hearing from staff and receiving no
public comment during the public heating, the Commission unanimously recommended the City
Council approve this IUP request from Flint Hills Resources.
BACKGROUND
Interim Use Permits are intended to authorize the temporary use of a property for a specific use until
a particular date, until the occurrence of a particular event or until zoning regulanon no longer permit
the proposed use. The standards and findings necessary for reviewing an IUP application are outlined
in Section 11- 10 -08. The City must approve or deny each IUP request based on findings related to
these cntena. Staff's review and findings for these cnteria are outlined below. Should the City
approve an IUP request, it may attach conditions to mitigate anticipated adverse impacts associated
with the use, ensure compliance with the standards of approval, protect the value of other property,
and achieve the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
Standards
1. The intenm use must be allowed in the zoning distract where the property is located.
Finding. The subject property is zoned GI General Industrial and Temporary Buildings'are
listed as an interim use in this district.
2. The interim use must meet or exceed the performance standards set forth in this title and other
applicable City ordinances.
Finding: Section 11- 4 -16.D, grants the City the authonty to waive performance standards for
building materials, off street parking, and site landscaping but specially requires a 500 foot
setback from adjoining public nghts -of -way and public, institutional or residential uses or
districts or a sufficient screen from these items. Given the 0 4 mile setback from Blaine Avenue
and 0.7 mile setback from Highway 52, staff finds the City may waive the building materials, off
street parking, site landscaping and screening standards for this temporary building. All other
applicable standards remain in effect, includmg the requirements of the City Engineer and Fire
Marshal. Specifically, the Fire Marshal requires the site have a fire hydrant capable of supplying
the required fire flow for fire protection as well as a fire access road (see attached memo dated
May 4, 2006).
3. The intenm use must comply with the specific standards for the use identified in this title, and
must comply with all conditions of approval which shall be included in an IUP agreement.
Finding As mentioned above, Section 11- 4 -16.D, grants the City the authority to waive
performance standards for building matenals, off street parking, and site landscaping but
requires a 500 foot setback. Given the large setbacks for the proposed temporary use, staff finds
the City may waive the performance standards mentioned above. All other applicable standards
remain in effect.
Findings
1. The extent, location, and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance with the
comprehensive plan.
Finding: The Comprehensive Plan idennfies the subject property as GI General Indusrrial.
2
Staff finds the proposed 60' wide, 147' long and 26' high temporary warehouse use consistent
with this designation
2. The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic congestion in the public
streets.
Fmdmg. The site will have access from Refinery 12 Street which in turn has access to the
refinery's main gate and public streets.
3. The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in the immediate
neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety, and general welfare.
Finding: The proposed temporary warehouse use is consistent with the GI General Industrial
zoning and land use classification as well the surrounding refinery activity According to the
applicant, this warehouse will store instrumentation, electrical equipment, insulation and the like
which should not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare.
4. The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the
surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
Finding: The proposed temporary building is part of Flint Hill's capital improvement plan and
therefore will not impede the normal and orderly development of the area.
5. The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which
it is located.
Finding: The subject use is consistent with the GI General Industrial land use and zoning
classifications. Given its design and remote location within the refinery site, staff finds the City
may waive the loading, building materials, trash enclosure, landscaping, signage, and lighting
standards. Should the applicant wish to alter any of these items they would first need to amend
this mterum use permit. All other applicable standards remain m effect, including the
requirements of the City Engineering and Fire Marshal.
CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the IUP request from Fhnt Hills Resources, LP to allow the assembly
of a temporary "sprung steel" building for warehousing and storage for two capital projects within
the Refinery site until 2010. The structure will be 60' wide, 147' long and 26' high (approximately
8,820 square feet) and resemble an oblong dome with a peaked roof Visibility of the structure
should be linuted, given the proposed location approximately 0 4 mile from Blaine Avenue and 0.7
mile from Highway 52. Flint Hills is currently using two similar buildings as office and warehouse
space a part of the Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel "Hydrocacker" construction project. Those structures
were also approved through an IUP in 2004 (Planning Case No. 04 -67) which is scheduled to expire
on September 1, 2006. Should the City approve this request, Flint Hills would remove one of those
buildings and relocate the other for this warehouse use under a new IUP. This recommendation is
based on the plan submitted by the apphcant, the findings made m this report, and are subject to the
conditions outlined in the recommended actions secnon above.

11. Project Description
for the City of Rosemount Interim Use Permit Application
Warehouse structure for the #3 Crude Unit Revamp Project
Flint Hills Resources (FHR) proposes to relocate an existing structure, currently located
on the FHR refinery site, to a new, on site location so that it can be used as a cold storage
warehouse to support two planned capital projects.
This existing structure is currently being used as a warehouse facility for the recently
completed Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Project. The structure was manufactured by Sprung
Instant Structures (see attached drawings) and it was erected on site in December 2004.
FHR received a building permit from the City of Rosemount for this structure. Please
reference City of Rosemount Building Permit No. 0403110. This structure was to be
dismantled by late summer 2006 but we would like to dismantle it and reuse it in a
different location.
It is proposed that this structure be relocated within the refinery to a location just south of
the westem -most crude tank (see Refinery aerial map, drawing 4020510) The new
location will not be readily visible from Highway 52 from the east or from County 71
from the west. This new location is in an area of the plant where stormwater runoff is
covered under the Facility NPDES Waste Water Permit (see drawing, Figure 2A). The
only utility needed for the building is electric power for lighting and vent fans.
This structure will be used as a cold storage warehouse facility for two upcoming capital
projects and will be used from July 2006 through May 2010. Specifically, the #3 Crude
Unit Revamp Project will use the structure in 2006 2007 and the Coker Project will use
the structure in 2008 through spnng 2010. It will be used to store equipment that needs
to be kept out of the weather, such as instrumentation, electrical equipment, insulation,
etc. pnor to its installation.
