We really do understand the dilemma faced by your planning staff and the city, and we certainly don't consider you the bad guy. In fact, we see you as a dedicated city planner and I can tell you that on a number of occasions we have commented amongst ourselves on your ability to clearly communicate the issues both in writing and orally. Taking a step back, I do feel that there must be a way for us to work together to allow our use of this site. With all the issues discussed, including taxation, regional nature traffic and accessibility, similarity to other permitted B-3 and regional uses, the RLUIPA, Imagine Roseville 2025, the business outlook for automotive and related uses, and probable unintentional oversight of religious land use in the Comp Plan, it seems to just make common sense to either change the interpretation of the Comp Plan or revise the plan itself. What concerns me, as is the case with many changes of this type and magnitude, is the potential time required to consider, debate, gain consensus, and ultimately enact the changes, and whether the church would stand to lose the site to another bidder during this process, as has been suggested by the seller. I know that this is not technically a concern of the city, but it is the unfortunate reality for us. Thanks.

To your first point, we are indeed proposing to remove institutional uses (churches, schools, etc.) from residential zoning districts because we believe that doing so is consistent with the Comp Plan. Of course, the existing churches and schools will still be located where they are - surrounded by residential uses, but those institutional properties are no longer guided by the Comp Plan for "residential" uses. The attached PDF is an excerpt of a draft of the proposed Residential Districts of the zoning code update - the excerpt isn't from the most current draft, but I could only get my hands on my "working copy" for the time being.
