-� •--, Likewise, there are no component uses of T4C programs and facilities that are not permitted in the listed B-3 zoning uses. It should be noted that only the Office use is permitted in the B-1 District, and the School of Dance or Music is allowed under CUP. The balance of the above church-like uses which are permitted in the B-3 District are not permitted in the B-1 District. It should also be noted that the description of the B-1 Limited Business District in Sect 1005.02 as `limited range of o�ce or professional services at the periphery of residential uses or integrated with residential uses '. Since the 2755 Long Lake Road site is neither at the" periphery" or "integrated'' with any residential use (and is at least 1,500 feet from the nearest residential zoning district) it seems to be less appropriate to re-zone to the B-1 classification, than it is to modify the B-3 classification text, The current site complies with intent to 'face or, front on a state or courrry road ' since it fronts on the west frontage road connecting County Rd C2 west of I-35W. It seems that the intent of the 2006 zoning code was to locate churches within or at the edges of residential areas. With the trend to consolidate smaller churches into larger churches and the unique nature of this church which serves an ethnic population scattered throughout the metro area, it seems reasonable and appropriate to expand the sitting of such uses similar to the B-3 classification on a regional business district on a"state or county road'' that acts as an arterial route, rather than through a residential neighborhood. T4C currently services 500 churchgoers once or twice each week and has plans to have the ability to serve up to 1,000 churchgoers in three distinct language assemblies at a single site. This allows couples with diverse language skills and their English-speaking children to share the assembly, teaching and social times together in one building. As the largest Chinese-oriented church assembly in the metro area with over 50 years of history and strong ties in community service in the Roseville community area, T4C would be a significant Cultural Institution with spaces for Meeting Hall, Business and Counseling Offices, Music & Dance instruction and performance, for Traditional dining in line with the Restaurant I classification-- all currently permitted uses in the B-3 District. Minimum Requirements for the Business Zoning Districts are shown in Section 1005.01. They are identical between the B-3 zoning classification and the B-1 that allows the church use. How does the use of the 2755 Long Lake Road site bv T4C fit with future Institutional Zoning Classification possibly to be proposed in the pending zonin� changes in the fall of 2010? The pending changes are specifically unknown at this time and it is anticipated that an application will be submitted and acted upon before the revisions to the zoning code are drafted and adopted this coming fall. That said, planning staff has suggested a possible new Institutional Zoning District classification that would apply to large campus-type land use areas so labeled on the comprehensive plan, and Mr. Thomas Paschke, Page 7 of 8
