5.0 REVIEW OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 5.1 When reviewing applications to rezone land, the Community Development Department staff must 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 Limited Business (LB). Sections 1005.01 (Limited Business Districts) and 1005.02 (Limited Retail Districts) collectively describe the LB designation in the Comprehensive Plan as corresponding to the land uses allowed in the B-1 and B-1B Zoning Districts, the combination of which allows a range of inedical and professional offices as well as limited retail and restaurant uses. Other properties in the immediate vicinity have Comprehensive Plan designations of Low Density Residential (LR), Medium Density Residential (MR), High Density Residential (HR), and Business (B). 5.3 The Cornerstone Neighborhood Mixed-Use Project, a program to redesign key, under- utilized retail and commercial intersections, which was amended into the Comprehensive Plan in 1999, determined that a redesigned Lexington/Roselawn intersection would have great potential for positive community impact. Although the type of high quality design anticipated by the Cornerstone Program would be better achieved if this property were redeveloped in concert with the parcel to the north, the proposed deli/restaurant use does advance the mixed use goals established for the area surrounding this intersection. 6A REVIEW OF PROPOSED REZONING 6.1 The existing B-1 zoning prohibits both the proposed deli and catering facility. The proposed B-1B Zoning District, however, permits delis as a type of traditional ("Class I") or fast food ("Class II") restaurant and permits "Class VI" restaurants that have facilities where customers can pick up phone and Internet orders. The B-1B District also allows catering facilities with a CUP. 6.2 Without a specific definition of "deli" in the Zoning Ordinance, Planning Division staff is utilizing a broader understanding of the term that includes the sales of ineats, cheeses, and the like, in addition to the prepared-food offerings. Staff believes this is reasonable given that the deli section of a supermarket is where one typically finds things like pasta salads and corn dogs along side the cold cuts, specialty cheeses, and relish trays. 6.3 Planning Division staff has determined that the proposed REZON�N� of the property is appropriate because the B-1B Zoning District allows the desired uses, which the City Code identifies as suitable for areas guided for "limited business" uses by the Comprehensive Plan. 6.4 Section 1005.01 G(Buffer Zones) of the City Code requires new commercial development to have screening in the from of hedges, coniferous trees, and/or privacy fences to buffer residential uses form adjacent commercial activities. Although the current application doesn't represent "new development" per se, the property owner could be required to install such screening as a condition of approval. 7.0 REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA 7.1 Section 1013.01 (Conditional Use Permits) of the City Code requires the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a CUP application: PF07-069 RPCA 120507 Page 2 of 4 ^ --�
