REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION DATE: 04/12/00 ITEM NO: 6B Item Description: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: PUBLIC HEARINGS City of Roseville, request to amend Section 1007.0IE (Building Height) of the Industrial District. (PF320l) 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Over the past few months the city has been approached by potential developers who are interested in constructing laboratory, warehouse, and office facilities in industrially zones land. In one such case, Horton, Inc. has purchased property off of Walnut Street for the purpose of constructing their testing and corporate headquarters. The long-range plan for the proposed Horton facility is to construct a four-story office, with a laboratory and warehouse testing facility. 1.2 Section 1007.0IE limits structures in the industrial district to a height of 45 feet. In the past staff has interpreted the height to allow a structure of four stories. However, 45 feet is generally too short for a four-story office structure using today's construction methods. 1.3 Staff has reviewed this code section and suggests clarifying the height limitation to allow industrial uses/structures to a height of 45 feet, while allowing office structures to a height of four stories. This would afford industrial companies the opportunity to have regional or corporate office connected to research and design facilities. 2.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 2.1 Staff supports the proposed amendments to the City Code. 2.2 Staff recommends the Planning Commission consider the proposed amendment (ordinance attached) to Section 1007.0IE, Building Height, and provide a recommendation regarding their findings to the City Council at their meeting on April 24, 2000.
