1 4.0 ZONING/PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT: 4.1 The GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT is a process by which a development/redevelopment proposal is formally presented in a public hearing to the Planning Commission for consideration. A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT is a zoning district which may include single or mixed uses, one or more lots or parcels, intended to create a more flexible,, creative and efficient approach to the use of the land subject to the procedures, standards, and regulations contained in the City Code. 4.2 The proposal seeks to rezone the parcel from its current designation of SC, Shopping Center District to a PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT with an underlying zoning of SC,, Shopping Center District, similar to the adjacent Roseville Center. 4.3 The proposal to REZONE to a PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT with an underlying SC District is consistent with the Roseville Comprehensive Plan and its designation of the parcel as Shopping Center. 5.0 PROJECT SPECIFICS: 5.1 Roundy's desires to redevelop the 7.7 acre mixed commercial property at 1201 — 1211, and 1215 Larpenteur Avenue into a 60,000+ sq. ft. Rainbow Foods grocery store that includes a drive-thru pharmacy, an open market structure (southwest comer), and a small I coffee/caf6 type structure/use (southeast comer). 5.2 The subject site includes three parcels of land, two owned by the Reinhart Real Estate Group, Inc. and one by the City of Roseville (lift station). The proposal seeks to raze the existing grocery store, former craft store and Roseville 4 Theater and replace them with a new Rainbow Foods store. The proposal also seeks to raze the former Little Caesar's Pizza store in the southwest comer of the site,, replacing it with a storm water management pond and open market. The proposal further seeks to create an additional caf6/coffee shop use in the southeast comer of the subject parcel that could support a drive-thru. 5.3 The applicant is not proposing to subdivide or plat the property. Instead, each of theses new areas or redefined areas), would include a land lease, a practice that been used in other areas of the city, typically on commercial and/or industrial zoned properties, and one similar to what is occurring at Har Mar Mall. The City's parcel would remain. 5.4 The parcel currently rises approximately 16 feet from south to north and is somewhat difficult to navigate given this slope. One of the benefits of the proposal is to design a gentler slope by lowering of the north and raising of the south portions of the parcel, each by approximately 3 feet. A retaining wall is designed at the rear of the parcel to account for the flattening of the upper portion of the parcel. PF'08-005—RCA-022508.doc Page 2 of I I
