Written Narrative: Twin City Chinese Christian Church (T4C) is a vibrant, large, established, regional, ethnic church that is characterized by a diverse congregation from throughout the Twin Cities metro area. T4C's vision is to build up three interdependent congregations as one church to become the center of discipleship and outreach to the Chinese in the Twin Cities. T4C's mission is to manifest God'S glory, experience His love, and bring hope to all. T4C is committed to continuing its 30-year history of reaching out to families, and serving the needs of youth and the underprivileged in Roseville and the surrounding area. T4C is the largest Chinese-American Christian church in Minnesota, and has outgrown their existing facilities in Lauderdale, Minnesota. The church established site criteria for a new location in 2003, and an active search was commissioned in 2005. Due to its centralized location in the metro area and other factors that satisfy the site criteria, T4C is considering purchase of a former Denny Hecker automobile dealership located at 2755 Long Lake Road, Roseville, Minnesota. While "church" use is not current�y a permitted use under the existing B-3 zoning of the site, T4Cs component uses and character as a large regional church are consistent with the permitted uses of that zoning district. With a regular weekly attendance of approximately 500 churchgoers, the property will generate traffic patterns similar to a retail business, with the majority of traffic on evenings and weekends. The need for regional access from throughout the Twin Cities metro area, and the level of generated traTfic, are not conducive to a tradi[ional residential neighborhood envfronment. T4Cs proposed use for the former Denny Hecker site is in harmony with the Roseville Comprehensive Plan's general desuiption of a Regional Business District (RB) site. Appropriate revisions to Roseville's zoning code will permit this property to be Additional Required Inforn�ation. Page 1 oY 7
