Commissioner Boerigter concurred with Commissioner poherty's original perception of the CUP, anticipating little enthusiasm for a pawn shop; however, after learning more about the business and regulations, in addition to the positive working relationship with law enforcement, he spoke in support of the project. Commissioner Boerigter reviewed the concerns expressed during public comment (i.e., crime and traffic), but clarified that tonighYs discussion and consideration was for the pawn shop use. Commissioner Boerigter noted that many comments were made about traffic and the apartment complex, not about the pawn shop use, and opined that there were other uses allowable in this zoning district under a CUP that would create more traffic, and further opined that the pawn shop would not significantly impact traffic. Related to crime concerns, Commissioner Boerigter noted the testimony of Lt. Rosand that no additional crime was anticipated from the pawn shop use, or had been experienced from similar operations. Commissioner Boerigter advised that, now that he better understood the applicanYs business model and the pawn process, and based on City Code for CUP approval, that states that upon meeting certain tests or criteria, the use was allowable and approval was indicated. Commissioner Boerigter noted that people's judgment could be clouded based on stereotypes and perceptions of clientele at pawn shops, in addition to questions of whether this was ideal for Roseville. However, Commissioner Boerigter opined that, while he understood concerns as expressed, and was not originally supportive of the CUP, he would vote to support it. Commissioner Boerigter further opined that the use would not prove detrimental to the neighborhood, but that if a huge increase in calls was experienced directly related to the pawn shop, he trusted the City' Police Department to take action, based on the restrictions of the pawn shop license requirements. 2H� Chair Bakeman opined that it was unusual and unfortunate that this neighborhood had experienced so 2t3a many applications over the last few months; while recognizing that a landlord would want to lease 2t3_� property to a good tenant. Chair Bakeman also noted that she'd been skeptical of a pawn shop use; 2�o however, after hearing from Lt. Rosand and Mr. Smith, she was less skeptical; while also expressing trust 29 i in the Community Development Department staff to ensure that the exterior of the building would be up to 2� % code. Chair Bakeman spoke in support of the CUP. 29s 2qt 29': 29u 29? 293 2?� 3oc 30: MOTION Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Boerigter to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT for Rosewood Center Partners and Mark Smith (dlbla Cash-n-Pawn), allowing the proposed pawn shop to operate at the specific tenant space identified on the ftoor plan, the former Mattress Giant space located between current tenants Kinko's/FedEx and China Jen within the Rosewood Shopping Center at 2181 — 2195 Snelling Avenue, in compliance with the requirements and regulations established in Roseville City Code, Sections 1005.015, 1013.01 and 317; based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 5 and 6, and subject to conditions detailed in Section 7 of the project report dated April 2, 2008; amended as follows: 3oz • Staff will identify and provide specific square footage of the above-referenced lease space as 3U3 detailed on the floor plan as presented; with the applicant understanding that any additional 3oa square footage or expansion will require an amendment to the CUP; 30 ; • Revision of Condition "a" in the project report to read: "The Roseville Police Department 30o monitoring the number of calls to the Cash-n-Pawn site."
