B ACKGROUND 1 Minnesota Statute 462.356 establishes how a City is to effect or realize the goals of its 2 Comprehensive Plan once adopted. This particular statute actually precedes the requirement to 3 adopt a zoning code that reinforces the Comprehensive Plan, and it requires the City’s “planning 4 agency” to review all proposals by the City (or a “special district or agency thereof”) to acquire 5 or dispose of land and make findings as to the compliance of the acquisition or disposal with the 6 Comprehensive Plan. For Roseville, the Planning Commission is the “planning agency” 7 identified in the statute. 8 For the purposes of Minn. Stat. 462.356, the Roseville Housing and Redevelopment Authority 9 (RHRA) is a special district or agency of the City. City of Roseville already owned the fire 10 station property at 2335 Dale Street, and by mid-2013, RHRA had acquired the vacant 11 residential property at 2325 Dale Street and the lots at 657 – 675 Cope Avenue to assemble a 12 larger redevelopment site. In the fall of 2013, the RHRA requested redevelopment proposals 13 from developers that would address the ideas generated by the community workshop hosted by 14 the Corridors Development Initiative and selected the proposal presented by the Greater 15 Metropolitan Housing Corporation, which included a mix of owner-occupied, one-family 16 detached residences and one-family attached townhomes. 17 The Planning Commission discussed the issue at its August 6, 2014 meeting. Based on the 18 comments and findings detailed in the RPCA prepared for the discussion and its own 19 consideration of the proposed development project, the Planning Commission voted 20 unanimously to pass a motion communicating its determination that the proposed disposition is 21 in compliance with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The RPCA prepared for the Planning 22 Commission’s review is included with this report as RCA Exhibit A, and the minutes of the 23 Commission’s discussion are included with this report as RCA Exhibit B. 24 RA ECOMMENDEDCTION 25 By motion, receive this report of the Planning Commission’s determination that the 26 proposed disposal of 2325 – 2335 Dale Street and 657 – 675 Cope Avenue to facilitate the 27 proposed mixed housing development known as the “Dale Street Redevelopment Project” 28 is in compliance with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as recommended. 29 AA LTERNATIVECTIONS 30 Pass a motion to table the item for future action.

This, too, will have no impact on meeting the 35 statutory requirement, as it merely mandates that the Planning Commission’s findings be 36 reported to the City Council within 45 days of its review.
