4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Walser Automotive Group (in cooperation with St. Paul Properties) has requested an INTERIM USE PERMIT to allow the temporary relocation of their existing auto service/repair facility affiliated with Walser Pontiac, Buick, GMC, 2775 Highway 35 to the industrial building located at 2980 Cleveland Avenue. 4.2 On August 14, the City Council approved a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT far Walser to redevelopment the former McCarthy Pontiac, Buick, GMC site at 2775 Highway 35 and on September 6, 2006 the Variance Board approved a VARIANCE allowing the proposed parking lot to extend to the southern property line. 4.3 Since that date, Walser has been developing their final engineering and construction documents, as well as contracting with a developer/builder. Recently Walser and their contractor have been focusing on how to redevelop the existing structure while keeping the auto service facility operating. The plan discussed with the Planning Commission and City Council (though not approved as a condition in the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT) was to complete a two phase redevelopment that kept the existing service facility partially operational while the new service facility was constructed. However, Walser has concluded that the disruption to service operations and project construction as well as an extended construction timeline is not in their or their customers' best interest. 4.4 Wasler contacted the City Planner to discuss their temporary use of an off-site facility. The use of the property at 2980 Cleveland Avenue for auto service would require either a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT or an INTERIM USE PERMIT. Staff further commented that because the request would be seeking temporary use of a site in Roseville during construction, that the INTERIM USE PERMIT was the appropriate process for approval. 4.5 No exterior improvements are being proposed; only interior improvements such air handling/exchange system and hydraulic vehicle lifts, would need to be reviewed and approved by the City Building Official. 4.6 Section 1012.09A states: "The City Council may authorize an Interim Use Permit of property. Interim uses may not be consistent with the land uses designated on the adopted Land Use Plan. They may also fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for the district within which it is located." 4.7 Section 1012.09B states: "The City Council may attach conditions to Interim Use Permits. In reviewing Interim Use Permit applications, the City will establish a specific date or event that will terminate the use on the property. The Council will also determine that the approval of the interim use would not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety, and general welfare, and that it will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future."
