18 4.0 BACKGROUND 19 4.1 The property at 2285 Walnut Street has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Industrial 20 (1) and a corresponding zoning classification of Industrial (1) District. The preliminary 21 PLAT PROPOSAL has been prompted by plans to develop a warehouse/distribution facility 22 in the southern portion of the existing parcel. 2'3 4.2 For the sake of clarification,, the nature of an "outlot"' is such that it may not be developed 24 until it is re-platted. In this case, the intent is to plat the proposed Outlot A when future 25 development scenarios are solidified enough to determine where lot lines will be most 26 appropriate. A large pile of rubble, the subject of a recent interim use approval, stands on 2 7' the northern portion of the proposed outlot. 28 5.0 PRELIMINARY PLAT ANALYSIS 29 5.1 Plat proposals are reviewed primarily for the purpose of ensuring that all proposed lots '30 meet the minimum size requirements of the zoning code, that adequate streets and other public infrastructure are in place or identified and constructed, and that storm water is ' 2 addressed to prevent problems either on nearby property or within the storm water '33 system. As a PRELIMINARY PLAT of an industrial property, the proposal leaves no zoning issues to be addressed since the Zoning Code does not establish minimum lot dimensions '35 or area. '36 5.2 Roseville's Development Review Committee (DRC)�, a body comprising staff from N3 7' various City departments, met on February 17, 2011 to discuss the application. The ' 8 DRC's only concerns were focused on the lack of engineering data to demonstrate that 'N,39 storm water and sanitary sewer infrastructure would be handled in a way that met the 40 requirements of the City Code. All of the necessary information has now been submitted 41 and determined by the City Engineer to be acceptable; this updated/revised preliminary 42 plat information was unavailable to Planning Division staff as of the time this report was prepared, but the proposed Lot I and Outlot A are illustrated in Attachment C. 44 6.0 PUBLIC COMMENT 4 5 .1 The duly-noticed public hearing for this PRELIMINARY PLAT application was held by the 46 Planning Commission on March 2, 2011 - draft minutes of the public hearing are included 4 7' with this report as Attachment D. In the Commission's discussion of the proposal, 148 nobody appeared to be unsupportive of the new lot and outlot described on the plat, but 149 opinions diverged about whether the application could be recommended for approval 50 without Planning Commission review of the requisite engineering data. After closing the 51 public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 3-2 to recommend approval of the 52 proposed PRELIMINARY PLAT,, with the split vote indicating the preference of the minority 5'3 to withhold a recommendation until the engineering documentation was available rather 54 than indicating opposition to the proposal itself 55 6.2 At the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff has received no questions or 56 comments from nearby property owners or other members of the public.
