-. � ilraft Planning Commission Minutes Attachment F i a. PLANNING FILE 07-069 i Request by Michael Schueller, in cooperation with property owners Riaz and Catherine Hussain, for 3 REZONING at 1901 Lexington Avenue to allow a deli, catering and cheese store . Chair Bakeman opened the Public Hearing for Planning File 07-069. s Mr. Lloyd reviewed the request of Mr. Schueller for rezoning to allow a deli with pick-up window and a 6 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT to allow a catering facility in the existing building at 1901 Lexington Avenue. 7 Mr. Lloyd noted that, since the preparation and distribution of the staff report, additional staff research had a been discovered of a previously-approved CUP, originating in May of 1989, for operation of a Veterinary 9 Clinic, and had been filed with Ramsey County. Mr. Lloyd clarified that conditions followed the property, not i0 users of the property, and conditions of the original CUP were still applicable, specifically Condition #1 of that � � CUP related to off-street parking provisions and City Code. Mr. Lloyd recommended that that condition be �� enforced now, as an existing condition and stand-alone requirement, not as a condition of this new CUP �3 application. ia Mr. Lloyd advised that existing B-1 zoning prohibits both the proposed deli and catering facility; and that the i 5 proposed B-1 B Zoning would permit a deli as a type of traditional ("Class I") or fast food ('Class II") restaurant t� and permits "Class VI" restaurants that have facilities where customers can pick up phone and/or internet �7 orders. Mr. Lloyd further advised that the B-16 District also allowed catering facilities with a CUP. Mr. Lloyd �s noted that there was no specifc definition of "deli" in the City's Zoning Ordinance; and provided staff's i 9 interpretation of that language. 2o Mc Lloyd reviewed staff's report in detail, and those CUP criteria in reaching a recommendation. Mr. Lloyd �� noted that it was staff's opinion that tra�c impact from the proposed use would be negligible, given existing �2 traffic on Lexington Avenue from current uses. 23 Staff recommended APPROVAL of the REZONING REQUEST and APPROVAL of the CONDITIONAL USE 2a PERMIT (CUP), based on the comments and fndings detailed in Sections 5, 6, and 7, and conditions detailed 25 in Section 8 of the staff report dated December 5, 2007; and that prior to occupation, the applicant 2s remove parking areas along Autumn Street, in accordance with City Council Reso/ution 89-14, as an 2� existing requirement based on staff research and findings. 2S Discussion included potential location of a window (on the north side of the parking lot) for pick up orders; 2� clarification that no outdoor menus or audio equipment would be inciuded as part of the application; 3o prohibition of a drive-thru facility and/or equipment; City Code provisions for this type of fast food, with staff 3t opining that City Code guidelines appeared to be high; staffs support for rezoning from B-1 to B-1B; definition 32 of restaurant types and uses as per City Code; possibility for a future user to raze this building and implement 33 a fast food restaurant; and parking limitations and self-regulation on potential uses. 3a Commissioner poherty expressed concern, not with this applicant, but with long-term CUP implications for a 35 potentially different type of restaurant, without additional Planning Commission and/or City Council approval 3s ofthat use. 3� Commissioner Gasongo questioned projected land use on that part of Lexington from County Road B to 38 Larpenteur Avenue; and opined it may all become commercial, thus having little impact on adjoining 39 residential areas. ao Mr. Lloyd clarified that, using the Comprehensive Land Use map, and future land use designations, indicated 4� that it was guided for single-family residential uses; and any change would require a 4/5 vote of the City =t2 Council. Mr. Lloyd noted that there was high density residential in a limited area adjacent to the proposal. -t3 Chair Bakeman noted that this area of Roseville had been settled as a business community before the City of aa Roseville existed. a5 Additional discussion included fencing provisions and types, or whether additional landscaping or "green" ac screening could be provided; and screening for the trash enclosure; no provision for an outdoor patio area. a� Commissioner Wozniak questioned whether restrictions would be advisable on traffic existing (i.e., "No Left a8 Turn" onto Lexington Avenue).
