This proposal was denied on December 17, 2024 with the City Council.
The applicant, Jake Schaffer of Station Pizza, is proposing to remodel and expand the existing Kee’s auto repair building at 6016 Vernon Avenue into a 1,685 square foot, 20-seat restaurant. The new restaurant would be a Station Pizza with indoor dining, take-out and delivery service. The existing site is zoned PCD-4, Planned Commercial District, which allows only automobile service centers, gas stations and car washes. Restaurants are allowed uses in the PCD-1, Planned Commercial Zoning District. The site is guided in the Comprehensive Plan for medium density residential use.
To accommodate the request the following is required:
A Comprehensive Plan Amendment from MDR, Medium Density Residential to Neighborhood Commercial (a new land use designation).
A Rezoning from PCD-4, Planned Commercial District 4 to PCD-1, Planned Commercial District 1, with a lot size variance to allow a restaurant in the PCD-1 District less than 1 acre in size.
Site Plan Review with the following Variances:
A Side Yard setback variance from 25 to 13 feet for the building expansion.
A Front Street Setback Variance (toward Eden Prairie Road) from 35 feet to 20 feet for the building expansion and from 35 feet to 9 feet for the patio and bike rack area.
Parking Lot Setback Variances from 10 feet to 0 feet for separation between the building and parking lot, and from 20 feet to 0 feet along the north lot line for 1 new stall.
