3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 The property at 2501-2699 Patton Road, located in City Planning District 11, has a Comprehensive Plan designation of Business Park (BP) and a zoning classification of Office/Business Park (O/BP) District. 32 The subject property, its northern neighbor, and the Patton Road right-of way were platted as part of the Patton Business Addition in January 1985. At that time Patton Road was 600 feet long, corresponding to the length of the subject property, and a circular turn-around area was required for the cul-de-sac street. Vehicle access to the neighboring property to the north was provided by a simple driveway connecting to the turn-around area. In 1987, the lots on the west side of Patton Road were platted as the Patton Business Second Addition, and Patton Road was made 1,200 feet long to provide more complete access to the northern lots, at which point the existing turn-around was removed and replaced with another at the new northern terminus of the longer cul-de-sac street. At this point, the right-of-way for the former turn-around area became superfluous, and the applicant proposes to improve and expand the property's parking facilities into that area. 4.0 VACATION ANALYSIS 4.1 The City of Roseville Public Warks Department staff has reviewed the proposed vacation of right-of-way and supports the vacation since there's no future need for the unused portion of right-of-way. Moreover, no public infrastructure is in that area, so no easement is needed to remain in place of the vacated right-of-way. The proposed area to be vacated is illustrated in the survey included with this RPCA as Attachment C. 42 Since the Planning Commission is responsible for holding the public hearings for applications like the proposed vacation, Planning Division staff is preparing the report and supporting materials for review. But Planning staff doesn't have an interest, per se, in such proposals and merely conveys the comments and recommendation of the Public Warks Department in addition to coordinating the review of the proposal by the Planning Commission and City Council. 5.0 PUBLIC COMMENT The duly-noticed public hearing for this application was held by the Planning Commission at its May7, 2014 meeting; upon the conclusion of the public hearing and its review of the application, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (i.e., 5— 0) to recommend approval of the requested vACAT1oN. Draft minutes of the public hearing are included with this RCA as Attachment D. As of the time this report was prepared, Planning Division staff had received one phone call inquiring about the proposal, but no comments were offered. 6.0 RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION Adopt a resolution approving the requested vACAT�oN of the unused right-of-way, as illustrated in the vacation survey dated March 20, 2014, based on the comments and findings outlined in Sections 3— 5 of this report.
