� 4.O BACKGROUND u 4.1 The property, located in Planning District 6, has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Business (B) and a zoning classification of Single Family (R-1). However, the prel'uiunarily approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides the future land use for the subject property as Community Business. (It is anticipated that the City Council will adopt the 2030 Comprehensive Plan at its October 12, 2009 meeting. ) 4.2 A single-family home is currently located on this parcel. 4.3 The applicant held the required neighborhood open house on September 24, 2009, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Four people attended. Questions and comments generally related to future access from Wewer, stormwater management, allowable uses under the B-3 district, and neighborhood buffers. See Attachment C to review the applicant's summary of the open house. S.O REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 5.1 When reviewing applications to rezone land, Community Development Department staffmust first determine whether the anticipated use and subsequent zoning district designation is consistent with Roseville's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 5.2 The property has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Business (B), which according to the Plan this designations: "deals with low to high volume retail, restaurants, office and business parks, gas stations and other high traffic generating users."The Plan further describes the "B" designation as corresponding to the land uses allowed in the B-1B, B-2, B-3, B-4, and B-6 zoning districts, the combination of which allows nearly all commercial and business uses (excluding industrial uses). Other nearby properties in Roseville have Comprehensive Plan designations of Low Density Residential (LR), Park (P), and School (S). Land uses across Rice Streen in Little Canada include automotive, retail, and office uses. 5.3 The Community Business designation in the preliminarily approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan is described as: "Commerical areas oriented toward businesses involved with the sale of goods and services to a local market area. Community business areas include shopping centers and freestanding businesses that promote community orientation and scale. To provide access and manage traffic, community business areas are located on streets deisgnated as A Minor Augmementors or A Minor Relievers in the Transportation Plan." The 2030 Comprehensive Plan does neither identifies specific uses within this category nor links it to any particular zoning district. G.O STAFF COMMENTS 6.1 State law requires that a property's zoning be consistent with its future land use designation. Minnesota Statute 473.858 subd. 1 states: "If the comprehensive municipal plan is in conflict with the zoning ordinance, the zoning ordinance shall be brought into conformance with the plan by local government units in conjunction with the review and, if necessary, amendment of its comprehensive plan required under section 473.864, subdivision 2." As established in Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of this report, the current R-1 zoning designation is in conflict with the subject property's future land use designation of Business; thus the City must either amend the future land use designation for the subject parcel to Low Density Residential or rezone it to one of the corresponding business zoning districts (B-1, B-1 B, B-2, B-3, B-4, or B-6) to eliminate the conflict. 6.2 The applicant has requested that the subject property be rezoned to B-3 as the properties to the north of this property are zoned B-3 in order to better market this property in conjunction with PF09-026 RPCA 10072009 Page 2 of 3
