Staff reminded the commission that the item had been continued from March 27 and that the property is zoned Low Density Residential District 1 with a future land use of Low Density Neighborhood. The applicant proposed a detached 24-foot by 40-foot garage located in front of the house; staff and commissioners had previously discussed the historical preference to recess oversized garages behind the house. Staff reported the applicant had revised the plan to move the garage farther south — now 35 feet from the north property line instead of 25 feet — added windows to the north (street-facing) elevation to provide a residential character, and committed to planting trees 10 feet from the property line so screening will remain after the planned Canyon Drive expansion removes existing trees.

Applicant Marty Jacob told the commission the lot has a private septic system and power lines running diagonally through the backyard that make placing the garage behind the house infeasible. Jacob said he previously used a commercial shop to store personal items and that the new garage will not be used for commercial business; he described storage of a side-by-side vehicle and an antique car.

Commissioners asked about fire suppression; staff said fire suppression is not required for garages in the circumstances of this site and that separation requirements trigger fire design only where setbacks are not met. Staff also said there had been no written neighbor comments on file and that Jacob indicated he had spoken with neighbors. Commissioner Mike Quasney moved to approve the conditional use permit with the amended plans and stipulations; Commissioner Vince seconded. The commission voted in favor and the motion carried.

Approved changes recorded in the staff report include the garage’s new setback distance (35 feet from the north property line), added fenestration on the north elevation, and a commitment to plant a new row of trees 10 feet from the property line to maintain screening once Canyon Drive reconstruction occurs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Rapid City Planning Commission 05-08-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit May 8 for a 24-by-40-foot detached garage at 3714 Canyon Drive after the applicant revised plans to increase setbacks, add windows and commit to tree plantings for screening.","taxTitle","Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota","taxId",2748,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6563320,"Planning Commission approves on‑sale liquor for Toastique at Block 5; outdoor patio tied to pedestrian easement resolution",535,2092000,2627000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229693-839bdb68889614514a401961edcdb97e&start=2092&end=2627","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229693-839bdb68889614514a401961edcdb97e/thumbnail_2092000.jpg","/articles/6563320/Rapid-City/Pennington-County/South-Dakota/Planning-Commission-approves-onsale-liquor-for-Toastique-at-Block-5-outdoor-patio-tied-to-pedestrian-easement-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563320-26474741af4563f01682316c10a2abff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148220&Signature=SxVs0Lnn2e3Np3~fKllB696Xb6uCqwui9Gc-W7O0-9zjEjweLvhecYVbv8qzh9m9QEnwqnRWAl-BKZT9tOirJHfJPuG~8eAiKqw5ZeTa95s25S~9Jzoka7pXjW6AwgYMGczn6SgF4bjP5f-vGJXJbGUn3ryjlUnMpgRcVZwnuLi-E5dP0rc3hTouDf1Zh~LHNDMaV9DJYHEt9yXFPrSzTmdsGGPmPSO2uocmDFfCXbrcXy4GxQZhjPfIDuBykUcpHLwMdHyb5cIs~FlsnsdPZRInv8QAbiIlQSE9hDXQrum-aHBRXP3jyXPMD~9YopM0etduy0fjCkP~WiCxNyWwPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rapid City Planning Commission voted May 8 to approve a major amendment to a planned development overlay to allow on‑sale liquor in conjunction with Toastique, a restaurant and juice bar proposed for Suite 1 at 525 Saint Joseph Street in the Block 5 development.

Kip Harrington of Long Range Planning told the commission the Toastique space will be the first commercial tenant in the Block 5 project and that the restaurant plans to operate from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, serving a brunch-style menu with mimosas and fresh-squeezed juices. The property is zoned Central Business District. Harrington said the application includes signage and interior layout showing a kitchen, bar and seating area; the hotel and apartments in Block 5 are already under construction or open.

Commissioners discussed a proposed sidewalk cafe/outdoor patio. Harrington said a 13-foot strip west of the suite had been vacated in 2012 for a prior project and then, in 2023, the developer (Lloyd Companies) rededicated that 13 feet as a pedestrian easement whose language currently forbids obstructions such as furniture, barriers or planters. Because of that easement, the applicant cannot install outdoor seating unless the easement language is altered or the easement is vacated; staff said they are working with the applicant and Lloyd Companies to identify options. The staff report notes the on‑sale liquor permit could accommodate outdoor expansion “if and when” the pedestrian easement issue is resolved.

Commissioner Vince moved to approve the amendment in accordance with staff stipulations; Commissioner Karen seconded. The commission voted in favor; the motion carried. The approval allows Toastique to serve on‑sale liquor inside the suite subject to the conditions in the staff report. Any outdoor seating will require a separate resolution of the pedestrian easement or other change to the easement language before tables, chairs or barriers may be placed in that 13‑foot area.

Harrington also noted that the property sits along principal arterial streets and that the proposed outdoor area would need to maintain a pedestrian clear space; staff showed a proposed layout and examples of outdoor furniture and barricades to be used if the easement is resolved. The on‑sale liquor approval is separate from an on‑sale liquor approval for a hotel/restaurant elsewhere in Block 5, which Harrington said is a different application.","The Rapid City Planning Commission approved a planned-development amendment to allow on‑sale liquor for Toastique, a restaurant at 525 Saint Joseph St. Suite 1, but outdoor seating is contingent on resolving a 13‑foot pedestrian easement vacated in 2012 and later rededicated as an easement that currently prohibits obstructions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6563322,"Rapid City Zoning Board approves Cornerstone variance to place Connex storage containers at 401 Eleventh Street",1653,302000,1955000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3229693-839bdb68889614514a401961edcdb97e&start=302&end=1955","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3229693-839bdb68889614514a401961edcdb97e/thumbnail_302000.jpg","/articles/6563322/Rapid-City/Pennington-County/South-Dakota/Rapid-City-Zoning-Board-approves-Cornerstone-variance-to-place-Connex-storage-containers-at-401-Eleventh-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6563322-b87b5ab02493c0a61c57f177378a9292/orig.mp4?Expires=1771148220&Signature=cXzW1nxcZ3Hz8YO4l6Io1xEp~E2iHjLPeahz9bEJ-pPpW9WeP~WDe3vlUNa6FwDqHS8Gfag-tqvnFZEIAep9Gwi8EROMgg4AkXFYkcSiikG8Weydlq2peiWOQSCTeoFhKD5YTP~h8slQEEMtnrZJasBCqIARK8r7GESsi-kGko1H1yAj4h1ZMh2etmckX~jz7ObGdYa~MNHdt1ZFpRcWrAA8GpC5X72cfZv5~FUJ4iZB14Fa87s2jT2peeDoBiOnaq3M~Ifi8kisxS422cQgsvmArLgnTXoeL0mM~WpMhzaY9b3dTNHbyNV0Z8PZpLjt28QXWu7r4nJrjn66rqySmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rapid City Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance on May 8 to allow five Connex storage containers and corrugated metal screening at Cornerstone Thrift Store, 401 Eleventh Street, and to reduce the front, rear and side yard setbacks to 0 feet and allow increased lot coverage, with conditions.

Planning staff presented the request, saying the property is in a Light Industrial District with a mixed-use commercial future land use and fronts three streets. Staff described the proposal as placing five Connex containers at a 0-foot setback within the existing donation receiving area, replacing existing chain-link fencing, and said the containers would improve storage and security for donated goods. Staff also reported a drainage memo submitted with the paving/grading permit showed no adverse runoff impacts from the current lot coverage increase. Staff recommended approval with stipulations and added an additional stipulation requiring that “cleanup of any items, materials or donations left outside of the fencing after hours shall be removed beginning at 07:30AM each operating day, which does not include Sunday.”

Commissioners discussed neighborhood impacts, security and appearance. Commissioner Vicky supported the variance, saying the containers would “really look like a privacy fence” and reduce rummaging and theft that occurs through the chain-link fence. Commissioner Mike Kwosney expressed concern that opaque containers and fencing could conceal activity and mentioned potential graffiti; the commission noted the city’s nuisance regulations require property owners to remove graffiti. Commissioner Eric Hykas asked about container and fence height; staff said standard Connex containers are 9.5 feet tall and the corrugated fence would be 8 feet tall. Cornerstone’s executive director, Lisa Allison, told the board the organization has security cameras at the thrift store and said they have discussed locating the corrugated fence to create a slightly recessed, protected donation drop-off area.

After a motion to approve “with staff stipulations, including the third additional stipulation” and a friendly amendment noting the variance aligns with the intent of the ordinance and has minimal negative neighborhood impact, the board voted in favor. The motion carried. Staff and Cornerstone will be responsible for implementing the stipulations, including the 7:30 a.m. cleanup requirement for donations left outside the fenced area.

The board’s approval permits Connex containers that staff described as: three 8-by-40-foot containers fronting West Rapid Street, one 8-by-40-foot container on the west property line, and one 8-by-20-foot container fronting Eleventh Street, along with matching corrugated metal fencing and gates. Staff said the container placement does not create site-triangle issues at the nearby intersection and that the larger donation area had been paved via a grading permit, increasing the site’s impervious area and lot coverage to the level for which the variance was requested.

The board approved the variance with the staff stipulations and the added condition requiring morning cleanup of materials left outside the fenced area; no roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript.","The Zoning Board of Adjustment approved a variance allowing five Connex storage containers and related fencing at Cornerstone Thrift Store, reducing front, rear and side setbacks to zero and approving increased lot coverage, with conditions including a daily cleanup requirement for after-hours donations.","actionData","errors"]
