Of the 4.5 acres, the east half is zoned R-l Single Family and is guided for <br />low density residential development in the City's Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The <br />west half fronting along Centennial Drive is zoned B-1 Limited Business and is guided for <br />business uses in the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The property currently consists of 4 <br />separate lots. A part of the application is for a preliminary and final plat consolidating these lots <br />into a single parcel of land and abandoning utility easements and a 5 foot wide walkway <br />easement that are no longer required.

They have outgrown their current facilities and are proposing to build a new <br />facility on the property located at Hamline and Centennial Drive that they have owned for some <br />time. <br /> <br />City Code Requirements: <br /> <br />Section 1004.02, Subsection A4, of the Roseville Zoning Code calls out churches as permitted <br />uses in the R-l Single Family Zoning District. Section 1004.02, Subsection D3, indicates that no <br />structure or building shall exceed 30 feet in height in this zoning district. Section 1005.02 allows <br />churches by conditional use permit in B-1 zoning classifications. This section also allows off- <br />street parking as permitted accessory uses in a B-1 zoning district. <br /> <br />These sections of the Roseville Zoning Code are inconsistent and confusing. It is staff s <br />interpretation that an application for a conditional use permit and comprehensive plan <br />amendment for this project are not required and therefore have not been advertised.
