herein set forth.” Mr. Callahan opined that the Community Development Department <br />was not appropriately following this acknowledgement. Ms. Janet Olsen addressed the <br />Commission stating that her concern was that staff’s determination that Walmart fits into <br />the Community Mixed Use district was inappropriate, especially given the Community <br />Business reference in the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance definitions. Ms. <br />Olsen added that the WalMart proposal should be categorized as a Regional Business <br />proposal and therefore not an allowed use in the Twin Lakes Area. Ms. Olsen also <br />indicated that areas identified in Roseville’s Zoning Map as Community Business areas <br />include smaller businesses with specialized products, some grouped in larger buildings <br />such as HarMar mall or strip malls such as the area at Lexington and Larpenteur Avenues <br />and that a WalMart does not fit that category. She also stated that since the existing <br />Target Super Store in Roseville is considered a Regional Business in the Zoning Code, a <br />strong argument can be made to classify the WalMart proposal as a Regional Business. <br />4.5The Chair of the Planning Commission closed the hearing and thanked all who testified <br />before the Commission and opened up Commission discussion on the appeal. <br />4.6The Planning Commission voted 4-2 that the Community Development Department was <br />correct in its decision regarding the use determination for the proposed 160,000 sq. ft. <br />Walmart project, based on their articulated findings contained in the minutes of the <br />meeting. Please note that the minutes of the meeting will be forward when available. <br />Prepared by: City Planner Thomas Paschke <br />Attachments: A: Karen Schaffer appeal of the City use determination letter dated June 21, 2012 <br />B: Solidarity of West Area Roseville Neighbors appeal of the City use determination <br />letter dated June 21, 2012 <br />C: Letter dated June 8, 2012 from Sue Steinwall representing Wal-Mart Stores <br />requesting staff make a zoning use determination on the proposed Wal-Mart use. <br />D: Letter dated June 21, 2012 for City Staff affirming that the proposed Wal-Mart store <br />is a permitted use under the Roseville Zoning Code. <br />PF12-001_RCA_ZOAppeal_071612 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br /> <br />
