RCA Exhibit A Agenda Date: 8/6/2014 REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSIONDISCUSSION Agenda Item: 6a Division Approval Agenda Section OB THER USINESS Item Description: Review the proposed sale of 2325 – 2335 Dale Street and 657 – 675 Cope Avenue by the Roseville Housing and Redevelopment Authority and City of Roseville to facilitate the “Dale Street fire station redevelopment project” 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 residential 11 property at 2325 Dale Street and lots at 657 – 675 Cope Avenue to assemble a larger 12 redevelopment site. In the fall of 2013 the RHRA requested redevelopment proposals from 13 developers that would address the ideas generated by the community workshop hosted by the 14 Corridors Development Initiative and selected the one presented by the Greater Metropolitan 15 Housing Corporation (GMHC), which a mix of owner-occupied, one-family detached and 16 attached townhomes. 17 During the spring of 2014, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed and approved 18 the necessary amendments to Roseville’s Comprehensive Plan land use map and amendments the 19 zoning map and zoning text, along with a new plat of the property, to facilitate the proposed 20 redevelopment project. Now that final plans and development agreements are nearly complete 21 RHRA is preparing to sell the land to GMHC so the Planning Commission must review the 22 potential disposition and make findings about its compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 23 RCP EVIEW OF OMPREHENSIVE LAN 24 Jeanne Kelsey, RHRA’s Executive Director, identified several goals and policies within the 25 Comprehensive Plan that pertain generally to the issue at hand; the review is meant to be 26 representative of the Comprehensive Plan’s guidance, but the review will not be exhaustive. 27 GLUG&P 28 ENERAL AND SE OALS OLICIES Policy 1.1: Promote and provide for informed and meaningful citizen participation in planning 29 and reviewprocesses. 30 Dale Street project disposition discussion Page 1 of 2
