3o 4.0 BACKGROUND 31 4.1 The property, located in Planning District 13, has a zoning designation of Limited 32 Business (B- 1) District and a Comprehensive Plan designation of Limited Business (LB). 33 4.2 This request has been prompted by the applicants' desire to establish a dell and catering 34 facility. The rezoning would allow the proposed deli with order pick-up andVor delivery 35 facilities and would further allow the proposed catering service with a CUP. 36 5.0 REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 37, 5.1 When reviewing applications to rezone land, the Community Development Department 38 staff must first determine whether the antic' at use and subsequent zoning district IP 39 designation is consistent with Roseville's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 4o 5.2 The property has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Limited Business (LB). Sections 41 1005.01 (B-1 Limited Business Distficts) and 1005.02 (B-1B Limited Retail Districts) 42 collectively describe the LB designation in the Comprehensive Plan as corresponding to 43 the land uses allowed in the B-1 and B-1B Zoning D"llistricts, the combination of which 44 allows a range of medical and professional offices as well as limited retail and restaurant 45 uses. Other properties in the immediate vicinity have Comprehensive Plan designations 46 of Low Density Residential (LR), Medium Density Residential (MR), High Density 47 Residential (HR), and Business (B). 48 5.3 The 1997 Cornerstone Neighborhood Mixed-Use Project. a t)rogram to redesign key, 49 under-utilized retail and commercial intersections, was amended into the Comprehensive- 50 Plan (Book 2, Section 6B) and determined that a redesigned Lexington/Roselawn. 51 intersection would have great potential for positive community impact. This part of the 52 :Comprehensive Plan seeks to guide redevelopment rather than establish requirements for 53 redeveloping the :subject properties; to this end the proposed deli/restaurant use does 54 advance the mixed use goals established for the area surrounding this intersection., even 55 though the type of high quality design anticipated by the Cornerstone Program would be 56 better achieved if this property were redeveloped in concert with the parcel to the north. 57 6,P:0 REVIEW OF PROPOSED REZONING 58 6.1 The existing B-1 zoning prohibits both the proposed dell and the catering facility. The 59 proposed B-1B Zoning District, however, permits delis as a type of traditional ("Class I") 60 or fast food ("Class 11") restaurant and permits "Class VI" restaurants that deliver and/or 61 have facilities where customers can pick up phone and Internet orders. The B- I B District 62 also allows catering facilities with a CUP. 63 6.2 Without a specific definition of "deli" in the Zoning Ordinance, Planning Division staff is 64 utilizing a broader understanding of the term that includes the sales of meats, cheeses, 65 and the like, in addition to the prepared-food offerings. Staff believes this is reasonable 66 given that the deli section of a supermarket is where one typically finds things like pasta 67 salads and corn dog& alongside the cold cuts, specialty cheeses, and relish trays. 68 :6.3 Planning Division staff has determined that the proposed REZONING of the property is 69 appropriate because the 13- 1 B Zoning District allows the desired uses, which the City 70 Code identifies as suitable for areas guided for "limited business" uses by the 71 Comprehensive Plan.
