Attachment C Today's regional churches like T4C require sites much different than traditional small neighborhood churches. T4C's Reauest to the Citv of Roseville We appreciated your willingness to meet with us on January 11, 2010 to discuss our proposal, your email of January 21 confirming your desire for a pre-submittal letter, and the application guidance you provided by email on February 4, 2009. We respecttully submit this Zoning Text Amendment Application to amend the text of the city code, sect(ons 1005.015 and 1005.05, to allow church, worship/service, and/or school use as a permitted or conditional use. We thank you in advance for your help with fulfilling our goal for a regional site that supports the planned usage of the new facility and the growth of the T4C congregation. d. Other Information: Please see the attached site plan, "PRELIMINARY SITE STUD�ES 12/31/09, TWIN CITY CHINESE CHRISTIAN CHURCH". In addition, we submit this additional supporting commentary: Additional Suoportin¢ Commentarv How does the oro�osed use of the 2755 Long Lake Road site bv T4C fit with current Business Land Use Reeulations ladouted Julv 20061� The current zonine of the site is "B-3° General Business District and is described in Sect 1005.05 as follows: "fhe B-3 General Business District is desrgned for general retait uses in individual buiidings o� s[rip centers which face and front on a state or county road, It ollows for la�ger indoor ond exterior sales ond fast food sales than the B-2 Dis[rict. rhe 8-3 Genera! 8usiness Distric[ is intended/or certain oreas designoted as 8 Business area in !he Comprehensive Plan.' As mentioned above the regional nature and unique character and uses of T4C are appropriate to the existing B-3 classification, although not currently permitted: Permitted. Accessorv and Conditional uses are shown in Section 1005 015 This table identifies "churches" in the same line as "public/private colleges and schools" and only allows their inclusion by Conditional Use Permit in the B-1 Zoning District of all the zoning districis. There are several significant differences between T4C and public and private schools or colleges, in that the children are almost always accompanied by their parents as a family, arriving together from around the metro area by automobile once or twice a week, instead of the segregated daytime use of the schools which would be locally populated with more typical foot traffic. The scale of the church is also much smaller-- on a building scale vs. the campus scale of the colleges. .�ddi[ional Required lnlormation. Page i of 7 ,.. ,-�
