MEMORANDUM
TO: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM: Kate Aanenson, AICP Community Development Director
DATE: January 8, 2018
SUBJ: PUD Amendment Paisley Park Museum
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council recommends approval:
An ordinance amending the PUD to allow liquor sales at Paisley Park from Monday, January
29, 2018 through Sunday, February 4, 2018 from 7:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. with the
recommendation of limiting the number of guests to 500 per night.
City Council approval requires a simple majority vote of those present.
SUMMARY
Paisley Park, located at 7801 Audubon Road, is requesting a special event permit for a series of
after-hours parties during the week of the Super Bowl. While Paisley Park's Planned Unit
Development (PUD) ordinance allows for the hosting of private events, the proposed parties
would occur outside of normal business hours, thus requiring a permit. Additionally, Paisley
Park is interested in serving cocktails during these events. Since the PUD Ordinance specifically
prevents liquor sales and consumption, PPark Management has also applied for PUD amendment
to allow a onetime exception from the alcohol prohibition.
ANALYSIS
The original request proposed private events would be held Monday, January 29, 2018 through
Sunday, February 4, 2018 from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. nightly. The private events would
involve watching Prince themed movies and videos and, pending the proposed PUD amendment,
drinking cocktails. The proposed size of the events ranges from 500 to 1,000 guests. Guests

attending private parties will arrive by bus and the museum's normal security and parking
employees will staff the events. The gift shop will be open during these events and the applicant
will erect a 40 -foot by 70 -foot tent, pending approval from the building department. The
applicant has stated that they feel it is unlikely that they will host a private event every night but
that they wish for the permit to provide them with the flexibility to host events throughout the
week.
At the Planning Commission Public hearing on December 4th there was discussion on:
• the operation of the venue (what is included in the events)
• the requirements of the caterer's license (including food and intoxicating liquor service)
• the original request for number of possible guests attending was listed on the application
as 1000
• the hours of operation ( the application asked to modify the request for hours to be
extended until 1:00 am
• residents were concerned about possible sex trafficking
After the public hearing the commission discussed the issues raised and recommended that the
number of quests on any one night be limited to 500 (this would be condition of the Special
Event Permit) and that the hours be extended until 1:00 a.m. The commission voted to 3 to 1 in
support the ordinance amending the PUD. The minutes from the December 5th meeting are
included in the January 8th City Council Packet.
"The Chanhassen City Council recommends approval:
An ordinance amending the PUD to allow liquor sales at Paisley Park from Monday, January 29,
2018 through Sunday, February 4, 2018 from 7:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m. with the recommendation

PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve:
An Ordinance amending the PUD to allow liquor sales at Paisley Park Museum from Monday,
January 29, 2018 through Sunday, February 4, 2018 from 7:00 PM — 11:00 PM nightly."
SUMMARY
The applicant PPark Management for the Paisley Park Museum located at 7801 Audubon Road,
is requesting an amendment to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance governing the
use of the property to permit liquor sales as a part of one week of activities associated with the
Super Bowl.
BACKGROUND
Paisley Park is requesting a special event permit for a series of after-hours parties during the
week of the Super Bowl. While Paisley Park's Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance
allows for the hosting of private events, the proposed parties would occur outside of normal
business hours, thus requiring a permit. Additionally, Paisley Park is interested in serving
cocktails during these events. Since the PUD Ordinance specifically prevents liquor sales and
consumption, PPark Management has also applied for PUD amendment to allow a onetime
exception from the alcohol prohibition.
ANALYSIS
On October 24, 2016, the City Council approved the rezoning of the Paisley Park Property to
permit a Museum. The Rezoning was a PUD the specified uses for the site. One of the

prohibited uses was liquor sales and consumption. The operator of the museum is requesting
approval to serve liquor for the week of the Super Bowl. An amendment to the PUD is required.
It is the city's intention to amend the PUD to allow for liquor to be served for one week only.
The proposed private events would be held Monday, January 29, 2018 through Sunday, February
4, 2018 from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. nightly. The private events would involve watching Prince
themed movies and videos and, pending the proposed PUD amendment, drinking cocktails. The
proposed size of the events ranges from 500 to 1,000 guests. Guests attending private parties will
arrive by bus, and the museum's normal security and parking employees will staff the events.
The gift shop will be open during these events, and the applicant will erect a 40 -foot x 70 -foot
tent, pending approval from the building department. The applicant has stated that they feel it is
unlikely that they will host a private event every night, but that they wish for the permit to
provide them with the flexibility to host events throughout the week.
On June 12, 2017 staff provided the City Council an update of the approved the PUD conditions
and Site Improvement Performance Agreement for Paisley Park as well as a report on the how
museum operations are working. The conclusion of that report was that the operation of the
museum continues to evolve as the owner refines their business model. There is a minimal
number of CFS (Calls for Service) for this location and has a negligible impact on our overall
public safety mission in the city. There have been no major problems at Paisley Park Museum
and operations do not have a negative impact on law enforcement services. The updated traffic
study demonstrated an acceptable level of service. Special events require traffic and parking
management plans. They have revised their traffic circulation and access have also made
accommodations for Uber and Lyft.
In order the liquor to be served at the event it must be catered by a restaurant that holds an on -
sale intoxicating liquor license and a caterer's permit. Per statute, liquor service and sales shall
be incidental to the food service. The caterer must notify public safety of the event dates and
times prior the event. The city has a special event that is mechanism for notification of the event.
See attachment for detail.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval to the PUD to permit alcohol to be served during the time period
of Monday, January 29, 2018 through Sunday, February 4, 2018 and compliance with the Special
Event Permit.

Just as the residents surrounding the area of Paisley Park were against people leaving their tributes to Prince on
his fence, I along with many "fams" that attended events inside over the years are against the selling of alcohol
inside The Park. Keeping the interior of the property smoke free, alcohol free, even meat free the way Prince
maintained it is very vital to the integrity of the property. Allowing such things would be an "eye soar" to the
beauty of what Paisley Park is on the inside.
Let's maintain what little is left of the place that is known for the things it attracts. For we the fam have a
lifetime lease and will forever love Prince's home.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Chanhassen Resident re: Paisley Park Permit
Hello Kate, I hope you're well. I am a resident of Chanhassen (1945 Commonwealth Blvd) and fully support the liquor
license temporary permit. I am also very active on Prince Facebook groups. I know there is quite a bit of resistance
among fans but the fact that they are basing their disapproval on the belief that Prince wouldn't agree, is not only
incorrect, it is baseless.
As you know because you have access to permit applications, Prince often allowed alcohol at private Paisley Park events.
The criticism is unnecessary and is personal opinions only. I feel it will be a great revenue -generating resource for Paisley
Park for a limited amount of time. It's important Paisley Park thrives for me and other homeowners/citizens of the city.
We need to trust the people running the venue and the estate - and not the fans who are peeking in from an
uninformed distance. Many who will not financially support Paisley Park anyhow.
I am happy to attend the meeting if necessary but, otherwise will consider this a note in support of the application. Of
course, I assume that security will be properly handled and alcohol will be served in a responsible manner. Feel free to
contact me anytime with questions.
Best,

Hi Kate and Andy -
Another question -
Now that Paisley has requested the extension of hours from 7:OOpm-1:00 am, is there a restriction on numbers of
groups that could come through? For example, if one group of 500 requests to come from 7:OOpm-10pm, could they
bring in another set of 500 from 10:30pm-1:OOam?

Kate and Andy- I could not find email addresses for the other members of the planning commission on
the website. Could you please forward this to them? I noticed that 3 of the members were not present.
I returned from the planning commission meeting last night feeling confused, frustrated and
disappointed. I felt as though the constituent voice didn't matter. There were four Chanhassen
residents who spoke asking you to deny the alcohol permit providing valid reasons. No residents
supporting the permit were present, and not only did you approve the recommendation, you extended
the time limit of the party until 1:OOam, despite all expressing concerns.
My concerns:
• The application for liquor license was incomplete and inconsistent to what was
asked and approved at the meeting. The Special Event Permit did not match
document found on city website under project documents as of 7:00pm on
12/5/2017. The application of record previously referenced on-line stipulates
no caterer on Page 3 of 3 or special event application.
The changes asked for and approved did not allow for any additional notification
to the public (changing the ending time from 11:00pm to 1:00pm is a significant
change)
Paisley Park management's failure to properly complete the application process
should raise concerns by our city planning commission and council. The integrity
of the public forum process is called into question when the applicant fails to
complete documentation, the printed document bundle distributed at 7:OOPM
meeting time were incomplete and would not pass a certified audit. Further,
these documents were in conflict with documents published on City of
Chanhassen web site at 6:0013M on same date. Yet, the commission made
modifications in favor of applicant, who had no other vocal support present at
meeting. Four Chanhassen constituent parties spoke against the request.
Even though something as simple as the application was not properly or fully
completed, the Planning Commission seems to feel the Paisley Park
Management will be competent managing large numbers of people in a first-
time environment with alcohol while multiple questions and concerns go
unanswered.
There were no concrete answers provided for the following questions:
o Who is enforcing and controlling numbers of attendees?
o Who is the catering company?
o Who is serving the alcohol?
o What type of training have they done?
o From where are the groups coming?
o The groups were said to be "Corporate Parties" but no other
information provided
o Did the Prince's family approve adding alcohol? (not my
question but still wasn't answered)
o What type of security will be present (what do we know about
this company?)
o What measures are being considered to prevent overserving?
o Will alcohol be present on the buses?
o What events in which the groups participating prior to coming
to Paisley Park and will alcohol be present at those?
o Will this set a precedence for future events by Paisley Park
and/or other private parties?
o What benefit other than Paisley Park's financial profit will
allowing alcohol provide? This is already listed as a top
destination of places to see while visiting MN during the Super
Bowl. (no alcohol present). Additionally, the Paisley Park
Management stated that one of groups is not including
alcohol. People are already coming so I'm struggling with
understanding the strong need to add alcohol.
(The last 4 questions were ones I just included on this email)
Chaska police department spent many hours preparing for the Ryder Cup,
specifically targeting sex trafficking. Despite that preparation, it still took
place. At least 9 arrests were made coinciding with that event, which has a
profile of corporate attendees. My point is not to criticize law enforcement
who prepared for the Ryder Cup, but rather to emphasize the point that
corporate events are a major environment for sex trafficking. The Paisley Park
Management as well as the Planning Commission used the terms "corporate"
and "professional" in an attempt to show non -criminal activity. That comment
makes me concerned that they are not familiar or recognizing the depth, nature
nor seriousness of sex
trafficking. http://www.swnewsmedia.com/shakoi)ee valley news/news/publi

• One of the corporate parties said they would not be having alcohol so clearly
alcohol is not a requirement to be successful in bringing in groups. Have the
other groups even been presented with the option of no alcohol?
• Other large events at Paisley Park kept coming up in the supporting comments
of crowd control, security, etc. Those did NOT serve alcohol NOR did they run
until 1:OOam. Additionally, they were not coinciding with events known for sex
trafficking.
• If people are consuming alcohol, who is going to enforce the prevention of
tobacco and other substances on site (which if I'm not mistaken, is not
allowed?)
• Paisley Park seemed confident that because these will be Corporate Events, only
"professionals" will be present. That is exactly the profile and target of sex
traffickers. (Ryder Cup incidents are perfect example)
Per your request, I am including the email I sent to the council, from which I read portions at the
meeting. As of today, I am still waiting to hear back from any council member other than Elise Ryan.
Please look beyond the business aspect of approving this license and recognize the potential cost of
it. "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Many smart people have quoted that but I am
having trouble finding the originator to give them credit. It applies very well to this situation.

Subject: RE: human trafficking
Hi Denny, Elise, Dan, Jerry and Bethany -
I made some assumptions that you were not going to approve the license for Paisley Park. It appears
that you haven't made your decision yet so I'll provide some information why I feel as it would not be a
good choice for our community. My email gets long but there is so much information I'd like to share!
Although the Super Bowl brings coming to MN offers some advantages for our city, it also comes with
it's set of challenges, especially from a safety perspective. Having large groups of people together in a
party atmosphere can be tricky but adding alcohol to the mix, makes it that much more reckless. (See
quotes below).
If I'm not mistaken, the intent of the liquor license for Paisley Park is for cocktail parties for 500-1000
people. That atmosphere seems to be consistent with problems associated with large parties leading
up to the Super Bowl. Their request shows that they are not providing food which should also be a
concern where alcohol is present. I'm also concerned that a venue that has not historically provided
alcohol is suddenly going to be serving large numbers of people.
"There's no doubt that when you have an increased amount of individuals congregating, and when
alcohol is involved, that you are going to have an increase in crime committed. It's naive to assume it
wouldn't be," said hnran Ali, Washington County's major crimes prosecutor.
"Metro -area prosecutors and police agencies anticipate that hundreds of women and girls will be
sold on the sex market during Super Bowl 2018, mostly at huge organized parties and through
provocative online ads and social media connections.
.. the internet and digital devices remove geographical boundaries and use mobile apps like
Wickr and Whisperto avoid detection." http://www.startribune.com/metro-area-braces-for-super-
bowl-sex- trafficking/388725001/
"The vast numbers of men who converge on the Super Bowl host city each year
in groups are met with a celebratory, party atmosphere, often fueled by alcohol.
Given this, it's not particularly surprising that the Houston police force is
preparing for a surge in sex trafficking. After all, sex trafficking is a business and
traffickers want to go where the action is. But law enforcement is invariably
stretched thin and maintaining order and public safety is the primary concern. It is
virtually impossible for them to give investigating sex trafficking the focus it
deserves.' httys•//www pss, cy hologytoday.com/blog/modem-day-slavery/201702/the-
super-bowl-and-sex-trafficking
"Researchers from Arizona State University studied online sex ads for 10 days
surrounding last year's Super Bowl in New Jersey, and found that ad volume spiked leading
up to the event.."
"There are Playboy parties in town, a Snoop Dogg party," says Nita Belles, who
is in Phoenix to do awareness work during the game weekend. That's where
traffickers will be working the crowd to find
customers." https://www deseretnews.com/article/865620752/The-Super-Bowl-is-
the-la rgest-h uman-trafficking-event-in-the-country. htm
"So let's say if they normally have 58 ads on a particular website at 12 noon on a Thursday,
maybe they have 150 during the Super Bowl pre -event activities," she says. "And to be clear, it's
not that it happens at the big game itself, although it could, but that's not the primary target.
The primary targets are the events and the party -goers prior to the event."
"Anytime you have a large gathering of people with a predominantly male attendance and
there's excess cash and there's some time, you're going to have an increase in sex trafficking,"
she says. (Nita Belles, managing director of anti -trafficking nonprofit IN OUR BACKYARD and
author of IN OUR BACKYARD: HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN AMERICA AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO
STOP IT.) https //relevantmaeazine com/refect-apathy/facts-behind-super-bowl-sex-
trafficking-epidemic
"Anytime there is a large event that is primarily male -attended and there's a party
atmosphere, that will result in incidents of human trafficking," said Nita Belles, who has
worked during the last four Super Bowls with a coalition to prevent trafficking. "There is a
'boys will be boys' mentality." That attitude is what traffickers hope to capitalize on, she
said. https://www usatoday com/story/news/nation/2014/01/18/super-bowl-human-

Should you approve the license, can you please provide the answers to the following questions?
Who would be providing alcohol?
Who would be serving alcohol? (Would background checks be done? What type of training have they
done?)
From where are the 500-1000 people coming?
Who are the "groups"? (Private parties?)
How long are the cocktail parties going to run?
What type of safety/security measures are being provided?
I am asking you to please consider the risks. This is not just a simple request for a liquor license such as
fundraising event or a local celebration. Paisley Park is asking to provide liquor to 500-1000 people
multiple nights without serving food. Taking into consideration that there were trafficking incidents
surrounding the Ryder Cup and that its an ongoing battle everywhere, I feel that by not supporting
potentially dangerous environments that lend itself to sex trafficking, we could be protecting even just
one human. I believe that is worth it!
Thank you all again for your service,
Linda Roslansky

Linda -
Thank you for your note.
It all seems so logical and I support what you're saying about curtailing human trafficking.
However, your second paragraph seems out of place.
What precisely about approving the temporary permit would make no sense for our community?
And the contrary, what about disproving would make sense for the community?
These are sincere questions and I'm trying to get feedback that can help me understand the concerns by
citizens both in favor, and opposed.
Thank you.

Hi Denny, Bethany, Elise, Jerry and Dan!
I attended a presentation this morning by the Minnetonka Family Collaborative
regarding Human Trafficking. Detective Jake Wenmark, Minnetonka Police and Joy
McElroy, Cherish All Children spoke on this topic and how it impacts our
community. They also spoke briefly on the additional resources being utilized for
increased trafficking during the Super Bowl.
First, thank you in advance for not supporting the temporary liquor license request by
Paisley Park (right?). Approving that doesn't make any sense for our community.
Second, there was much momentum that came out of the presentation this morning
and we're hoping to make some connections so we can all collaborate on the trafficking
nightmare in hopes to eliminate it from our community. I know that seems like a lofty
dream but I can't see a better topic for which to target zero tolerance! There were
many different groups represented at the meeting including Rob from Hope House,
Mtka school staff (counselors, principals, social worker etc), Chanhassen and
Minnetonka residents, Lake Minnetonka Rotary, faith based organizations, health care
providers, etc. Creating awareness on this subject is critical along with the other many
areas of need. I'm reaching out as a resident to ask how we can work together on this
effort? (We are already aware of the NGOs in our area working to raise awareness,
etc) Is this already a priority of the City of Chanhassen? As city government leaders,
could you please share Chanhassen's community safety strategies related to human
trafficking?
I've asked Cad Lindberg (Mtka Family Collaborative) to share contact info and resources
from the presentation today and I'd be happy to share that info. Thank you all for
caring about our community!

Hello,
Prince would not have wanted alcohol to be served at Paisley Park.
It would probably bring more money in to the community but it could also be a burden to Police and Emergency
Services.
Thank you,

Just as the residents surrounding the area of Paisley Park were against people leaving their tributes to Prince on
his fence, I along with many "faros" that attended events inside over the years are against the selling of alcohol
inside The Park. Keeping the interior of the property smoke free, alcohol free, even meat free the way Prince
maintained it is very vital to the integrity of the property. Allowing such things would be an "eye soar" to the
beauty of what Paisley Park is on the inside.
Let's maintain what little is left of the place that is known for the things it attracts. For we the fain have a
lifetime lease and will forever love Prince's home.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Chanhassen Resident re: Paisley Park Permit
Hello Kate, I hope you're well. I am a resident of Chanhassen (1945 Commonwealth Blvd) and fully support the liquor
license temporary permit. I am also very active on Prince Facebook groups. I know there is quite a bit of resistance
among fans but the fact that they are basing their disapproval on the belief that Prince wouldn't agree, is not only
incorrect, it is baseless.
As you know because you have access to permit applications, Prince often allowed alcohol at private Paisley Park events.
The criticism is unnecessary and is personal opinions only. I feel it will be a great revenue -generating resource for Paisley
Park for a limited amount of time. It's important Paisley Park thrives for me and other homeowners/citizens of the city.
We need to trust the people running the venue and the estate - and not the fans who are peeking in from an
uninformed distance. Many who will not financially support Paisley Park anyhow.
I am happy to attend the meeting if necessary but, otherwise will consider this a note in support of the application. Of
course, I assume that security will be properly handled and alcohol will be served in a responsible manner. Feel free to
contact me anytime with questions.
Best,
Christina Witz

Sorry...
With the expectation of over 1 Million visitors, there is a definitely a risk of people not being respectful to the
people/area. I think this is dangerous and not a good use of public resources in order to police this kind of
unrelated event.
Also, it's clearly just a cash grab - super disrespectful to our residents.
Thanks,

Good morning Kate Aanenson,
