Under the land use section of the Roseville Comprehensive Plan, Regional Business areas include a collection of businesses and Institutional uses that provide goods and services to a Regional Market Area. Uses found in Regional Business Areas include Regional-Scale Institutions and Malls, Shopping Centers of various sizes, freestanding large-format stores, freestanding smaller businesses, multi-story office buildings, and groupings of automobile dealerships. APPLICABLE ZONING CODE PROVISIONS In Section 1005.07 of the Roseville City Code, the statement of purpose for the Community Mixed-Use(CMU)District is stated as follows: The Community Mixed-Use District is designed to encourage the development or redevelopment of mixed-use centers that may include housing, office, commercial,park, civic, institutional and open space uses. Complementary uses should be organized into cohesive districts in which mixed or single-use buildings are connected by streets, sidewalks and trails and open space to create a pedestrian-oriented environment. The CMU District is intended to be applied to areas of the City guided for redevelopment or intensification. Table 1005-1 in Section 1005.03 of the Roseville City Code lists all permitted and conditional uses in the commercial and mixed use districts. Table 1005-1 is attached to this memorandum as Exhibit A. The uses listed in Table 1005-1 are limited in scope by the definitions of the various uses found in Section 1001.10, by the Regulating Plan and requirements contained in Section 1005.07 and the Performance Standards contained in Chapter 1011 of the Roseville Zoning Code. ANSWERS Answer to Question No. I: The stated uses in a Community Mixed-Use area under the Comprehensive Plan specifically include Community Business uses,but do not include Regional Business uses. This distinction means that property within a Community Mixed-Use area under the Comprehensive Plan is guided for uses which may include Community Business uses (i.e. uses that promote community orientation and scale),but not Regional Business uses(i.e.regional scale uses). The Community Business and Regional Business distinction is not expressly stated in the Zoning Code for Community Mixed-Use areas. Rather,the uses allowed in a Community Mixed-Use District under the Zoning Code are designated in Table 1005-1, subject to the qualifications and requirements of the definition of such uses under Section 1001.10, the Regulating Plan and requirements contained in Section 1005.07, and the Performance Standards contained in Chapter 1011 of the Zoning Code("Qualifying Code Sections"). While the Zoning Code does not expressly use the Community Business and Regional Business distinction in Community Mixed-Use areas,many uses which are allowed or prohibited in Community Mixed- Use areas under the Comprehensive Plan are similarly allowed or prohibited in Community Mixed-Use areas using Table 1005-1 and the Qualifying Code Sections. However, since the Zoning Code does not expressly distinguish between Community Business and Regional Business uses, there may be certain Regional Business uses which may be allowed in Community Mixed-Use areas under the Zoning Code, which would result in a conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code.
