access to the park and ride facility would be provided from Cleveland Avenue south of Iona Lane and would pass by the west side of the park and ride facility and exit onto Iona Lane. The facility would be in conformance with ADA standards, providing 90- degree parking spaces sized at 8 feet, 8 inches by 18 feet. All drive aisles would be 24 feet in width. Zoning ordinance and application criteria for Rezoning and Concept PUD consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and Proposed Zoning The City of Roseville Comprehensive Plan (adopted 2001), as well as the draft 2939 Comprehensive Plan (June 2008) depicts a proposed 2939 land use designation of Business Park (BP) for the property on which the park and ride facility would be located. The Business Park designation includes transit facilities as an allowed use. The proposed facility site is guided Industrial (I) in the City's Comprehensive Plan and zoned General Industrial (I -2). The request is to rezone the site from General Industrial (I -2) to Planned Business Park (B- 8), in order to conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan. A PUD is requested as necessary under B -8 zoning for a parking facility, as well as achieving flexibility with site design. The proposed park and ride facility, as a transit use, is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, as well as the overall Twin Lakes Master Plan. However, flexibility regarding building setbacks is required; a 29 -foot setback on Mount Ridge Road and a 10-foot setback on Iona Lane is proposed. The B -8 zoning category requires 30-foot side yard and front yard setbacks. The proposed plan would comply with all other B -8 requirements. Compatibility with surrounding uses The proposed 489 -stall park and ride facility would be located east of Cleveland Avenue and the County Road C exit and entrance ramps to Interstate 35W. A one -story office /warehouse building constructed under a previous commercial redevelopment project is located north of the proposed site. Surrounding properties to the south and west consist of existing industrial buildings anticipated to be redeveloped as part of the Twin Lakes Master Plan. Staging schedule of development The Sketch Plan was submitted to the City in May of 2998 and the City Council reviewed the plan on June 9, 2998. Construction is planned to start following the Final PUD and Building Permit approval. It is estimated that construction would start in early 2999, with the park and ride facility opening in December of 2999. Summary The proposed rezoning to B-6/PUD and flexibility with required setbacks is in conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Twin Lakes Master Plan. • The addition of a park and ride facility would increase the vitality and desirability for redevelopment opportunities of parcels adjacent to the park and ride facility. • As recent studies have shown, it is anticipated that the demand for public transit will increase in the coming years, due to a number of factors including increasing fuel prices.
