CITY OF ROSEVILLE PLANNING REPORT DATE: 07-10-96 CASE NO.: 2843 Department Approval: Agenda Section: 6(e) Bruce Kath request for a rezoning, planned unit development, conditional use permit, preliminary and final plat, and an amendment to the comprehensive plan at 1912 Lexington Avenue to construct a motor fuel station/convenience store/car wash. Planner Approval: Item Description: Background Bruce Kath is proposing to construct a motor fuel station/convenience store with a car wash at 1912 Lexington Avenue. The site is in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Roselawn Avenue. The site is currently occupied by Ace's 66 Service Station and automobile repair and a single story building at 1080 Roselawn Avenue, occupied by a real estate firm. The service station was constructed about 1932 and the other commercial building was constructed in about 1956. The property is bordered on the north by Roselawn Avenue, on the west by Lexington Avenue, on the south by 22 housing units within two apartment buildings, and on the east by single family residential land uses. North of Roselawn Avenue is Suburban Hardware and the newly approved 16 townhomes of Rose Villa. To the west of Lexington Avenue is the Remax Realty building. At the May 28, 1996 City Council meeting, the applicant indicated that in order to meet concerns raised at the Planning Commission public hearing, a plan reducing the scale of the project had been developed. The City Council directed the applicant to present the revised plan as a new application to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Development Summary The property under consideration is zoned B-3 General Business, B-2 Retail Business, and B-1 Limited Business. An automobile service station and car wash is a use permitted by conditional use permit in the B-2 and B-3 districts but not in the B-1 district. The City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan has the majority of the property designated for business purposes. The northeast comer of the property (that area zoned B-1 Limited Business) is designated low density residential in the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. Ifthe project is to be approved, the designation in this area of the Comprehensive Plan would need to be changed to B, Business.

It has 263.98 feet of frontage on Lexington Avenue and 360.18 feet of frontage on Roselawn Avenue. 1
