recognized the unique parking requirements of a mixed-use center project (Section 1005.01E) and has written the PUD to account for these unique conditions, setting specific standards for each type of use. 2.3 The proposed facility will incorporate approximately 15 uses into the (1) story structure, which is approximately 24 feet in height. The main entry will continue to be located off of Hamline A venue. The schools would be located along the north end of the complex. The existing architecture is 1970' s retail modern - a mix in design, consisting of brick, concrete block and wood exterior materials and a flat roof with existing rooftop HV AC clearly visible from some property lines. Exterior mounted meters and electrical service boxes are also remnants of an earlier age, when few community building guidelines or design standards existed. 2.4 Because of the nature of the request inside of an existing building, Kraus-Anderson has not submitted normally required building concept development plans, including site, drainage, landscape, floor plan, and building elevations. Being relatively flat, the site drains to city catch basins and into the storm water system. Only net new impervious area will be required to have ponding on site. More detail regarding any site submittals will be required as part of the final approvals. 2.5 Section 1008 of the City Code outlines the requirements and procedures for a planned unit development. 3.0 ST AFF COMMENTS & FINDINGS In reviewing this item, staff has the following comments: 3.1 The City's Comprehensive Plan map designates this area for "B" (Business). The zoning of the site is "SC" (Shopping Center District) and B2 (Retail Business District. The property to the east, west and south is designated for "HR" High Density Residential; to the north the adjacent church site is a remnant "B" business designation from former business uses, that should be changed to an "I" Institutional uses designation. The Comprehensive Plan (Section 4, page 6, Site 3-2) states that in 1994 the City took action to redesignate this site for "Business" including future mixed business uses and residential uses, with a smaller neighborhood oriented center. The zoning on adjacent parcels to the east, west, and south is zoned "R - 3" (General Residential, 10 to 22 dwelling units per acre) and includes existing multi-family structures (a combined total of nearly 500 multi-family owner occupied condo and rental units are in the area). To the north is a "B-1" (Limited Business) zoned site on which the Roseville Covenant Church is now located. Because this site proposes to change from a "SC" zone to a "B-PUD" zone, the obligation for a maximum of 25% lot coverage in a the old shopping center area would be eliminated. 3.2. The City's Comprehensive Plan text specifically indicates that if the Hamline Center should redevelop, it should be done as a more compatible residential and mixed use.
