~. }>>.r- ~r~- REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION ~ DATE: 05/08/00 ITEM NO: J-2 Agenda Section: ORDINANCES City ofRoseville request consideration and FINAL READING of an amendment to Section I007.01E (Building Height) of the Industrial District. (PF320I) 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 zoned 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 offices connected to research and design facilities. 2.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 2.1 On Wednesday, April 12, 2000, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the requested ordinance modification. The Commission discussed the difference between a story limitation versus a height limitation and recommended (7-0) to amend Section 1007.07E Building Height as follows: Building height for manufacturing, laboratory, warehouse and showroom structures shall be no greater than 45 feet in any industrial (1-1 Light Industrial, 1-2 General Industrial, I-2A Special Industrial). Office structures shall be limited to four stories with a maximum height of 60 feet, in any industrial (1-1 Light Industrial, 1-2 General Industrial, I-2A Special Industrial). 3.0 ST AFF RECOMMENDATION 3.3 Staff supports the proposed amendments to Section 1007.0IE ofthe City Code and recommends Council approval as outlined in the Planning Commission actions of April 12th and as supported by the Council with the first reading of the Ordinance held on April 24, 2000.
