property (possibly through a Recombination Minor Subdivision as part of the Final PUD application) or incorporating into the PUD Agreement a requirement that, pursuant to selling one or both of the parcels, enough land be retained to provide a 10-foot building setback from the southern side property line. 8.6 Chapter 1018 (Parking) of the City Code requires office and retail uses to provide 5 parking spaces for every 1,000 square feet of leasable space and requires 4.1 spaces per 1,000 square feet for public assembly places like the proposed training areas. The wellness center, staff resource rooms and building common areas do not require any parking. Given these parking requirements, the office building would have to provide about 118 parking spaces — either on-site or by a shared parking agreement with the adjacent shopping center — once the addition is completed. Planning Division staff believes that the shared parking field between the office and shopping center will be adequate to accommodate the normal parking needs of both the office and shopping center uses even after approximately 45 spaces are lost to the proposed office addition. 8.7 Once every month or two, PHS plans to hold company-wide trainings for as many as 200 people at this Hamline location. While employees who are normally at this office could represent up to half of the attendees at some of these training sessions, it is possible that 100 or more additional vehicles will arrive at the office on these occasions. Planning Division staff recommends requiring PHS to enter into a parking agreement with Roseville Covenant Church directly across Centennial Drive to absorb the heightened parking demand created by the training sessions; in conversations with the applicant staff learned that PHS and the church have a good relationship and have already had positive discussions about such a parking agreement. 9.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 5-8 of this report, the Planning Division recommends approval of the request for an GENERAL CONCEPT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOP1�tENT to allow the proposed office expansion, subject to the following conditions: a. the landscape plan submitted for F1NAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT approval shall include the heightened screening necessary to mitigate the visual and noise effects of the service access and trash enclosure on the residential property across Hamline Avenue; b. a sidewalk at least 6 feet in width shall be provided between the western end of the existing office building and the adjacent drive lane; c. the applicant shall provide for inclusion in the final Planned Unit Development Agreement a parking agreement between the office property and the shopping center to ensure that the required 118 parking spaces are accommodated between the two properties regardless of whether the properties are under common ownership; d. the applicant shall provide for inclusion in the final Planned Unit Development Agreement a parking agreement with Roseville Covenant Church to ensure that the additional parking demands created by periodic employee trainings is accommodated without the need to utilize parking in nearby public rights-of-way; and PF08-024 RPCA 070208 � Page 4 of 5 W • •
