400 BACKGROUND 7 461 Presbyterian Homes and Services (FHS) has owned and occupied the office since 2002, since which time the senior housing and services operations, The proposed expansion 29 would increase office space and a lunchroom, fitness center, and training facilities for 30 employees; the office property currently houses about 85 employees, to which as many as 311 25 more may be added in the future, 32 462 This Planned Unit Development (PUD) request has been prompted by the applicants' 33 desire to expand the existing office facility in such a way that would be consistent with 34 the way the property is currently used, but that would deviate from several of the site 31") development requirements of any single, standard zoning district, 36 5.0 REVIEW OF ZONING/PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT 37 5.1 The GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT is a process by which a 38 development/redevelopment proposal is formally presented in a public hearing to the 39 Planning Commission for consideration. A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) is a 40 zoning district which may include single or mixed uses on one or more lots or parcels, 411 and is intended to be used in unique situations to create a more flexible, creative, and 42 efficient approach to the use of the land subject to the procedures, standards, and 43 regulations contained in the City Code. 44 5.2 The existing zoning designation on the office property is Shopping Center (SC) which 4 1") requires building setbacks that the existing structure only achieves along the western and 46 southern property lines and parking area setbacks that are only achieved by the existing 47 structure or parking area. The proposal seeks to rezone the property from its current SC 48 designation to PUD with an underlying zoning of Limited Business (B- 1) District. 49 6.0 REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 0 6.1 The property has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Business (B), and the surrounding properties have designations of High Density Residential (HR) and Business (B). 5 2 6.2 Roseville's Comprehensive Plan anticipates future redevelopment of the Hamline Shopping Center site (Planning District 3, Site 2) as a mixed use development including 4 medium-density housing. The proposed project is adjacent to the shopping center - not a redevelopment of the shopping center as is discussed in the Comprehensive Plan - and 5 6 would not interfere with a broader redevelopment of this Hamline Center property, so .. ... . . .. . J 7 this proposal to rezone the property to PUD with an underlying zoning of B- I is 8 consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's guidance toward Business uses. ) 1 r9 6.3 The Arona-Hamline Neighborhood Master Plan, appended to the Comprehensive Plan in 60 March 2002, further discusses the redevelopment of this site. Although this master plan 611 contains site plans that differ from the proposed office addition, the introduction to the 62 Arona-Hamline plan emphasizes that "the Plan is a guide for future development and 63 redevelopment" and that it "should remain flexible as to the location and intensity of the 64 development, limited only by the maximum capacities in this Plan." Since this portion of 61") the master plan area (i.e., Phase 11) allows for 25,000 to 75,000 square feet of office 66 space, the proposed expansion of the existing office building to 53,785 square feet is 67 consistent with the Arona-Hamline Neighborhood Master Plan.
