4.0B <br />ACKGROUND <br />4.1The subject properties, located in Planning District 16, have Comprehensive Plan Land <br />Use Designations of Low-Density Residential (LR) and Neighborhood Business (NB) <br />and respective zoning classifications of Low-Density Residential-1 (LDR-1) and <br />Neighborhood Business (NB) Districts. Although zoning maps have shown the Mueller- <br />Bies property to be in the LDR-2 zoning district, this was revealed earlier this year to be <br />a mapping error because the comprehensive rezoning process in 2010 included the <br />rezoning of this property from its former R-2 zoning to its present NB zoning so as to be <br />consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s land use guidance. <br />4.2The funeral home’s acquisition of the property at 600 County Road B would create an <br />internal parcel boundary which, because of setback requirements and other regulations, <br />would complicate the proposed parking area expansion. The elimination of this internal <br />parcel boundary (i.e., the ) could be approved by the City <br />PARCEL CONSOLIDATION <br />Council without a public hearing but for the other essential aspects of the overall <br />proposal. The parcel to be acquired is designated as a residential property in Roseville's <br />Comprehensive Plan and zoned for residential uses in the zoning code; likewise, the <br />funeral home property is designated in the Comprehensive Plan and zoned for business- <br />type uses. The seemingly simple act of consolidating abutting properties doesn't change <br />the underlying regulatory characteristics of that land area. Therefore, if the application <br />would only eliminate the internal parcel boundary, the newly-acquired residential <br />property could only be used for residential purposes rather than for commercial parking. <br />P <br />Because of this, the overall application also includes a proposed C <br />OMPREHENSIVE LAN <br /> and so that the now-residential land area is <br />LAND USE MAP CHANGEZONING MAP CHANGE <br />suitably guided and zoned for the intended commercial use. <br />4.3An applicant seeking approval a CP and/or <br />OMPREHENSIVE LAN LAND USE MAP CHANGE <br /> is required to hold an open house meeting to inform the <br />ZONING MAP CHANGE <br />surrounding property owners and other interested individuals of the proposal, to answer <br />questions, and to solicit feedback. The open house for this application was held on April <br />9, 2013; the summary of the open house meeting provided by the applicant is included <br />with this staff report as Attachment C <br />A <br />5.0P <br />ROPOSALNALYSIS <br />5.1PR: City Code §1104.04 (Platting Variations and Minor <br />ARCEL ECOMBINATION <br />Subdivisions) establishes the consolidation process as an alternative to the plat process to <br />simplify those subdivisions which seek “to consolidate two or more contiguous <br />parcels...[in such a way that will] not cause any portion of the existing lots, parcels or <br />existing buildings to be in violation of this regulation or the zoning code.” Since there are <br />no size requirements for NB-zoned parcels, the current proposal will meets these criteria <br />so long as the existing residence is removed from the property.
