4.0 STAFF FINDINGS 4.1 Staff has reviewed the development proposal with regard to the criteria in Section lO13.01.D of the Roseville Zoning Code and concludes the proposal meets these criteria. Specifically, staff has determined the following: 4.2 The proposed bingo hall will generate parking demand that can be accommodated by the site. Off-peak hours of the proposed operation; no high traffic volume uses are currently in the center; and shared (and under used) parking all contribute to minimizing the effects of parking on the site. The proposal will generate a modest increase (6%) in vehicle traffic (500-600 ADT) mostly using Hamline Avenue. Hamline Avenue is considered a County collector roadway with a current daily traffic volume of 9,000 vehicles and a daily design capacity of 16,000 vehicles 4.3 The proposed bingo hall will not create the need for additional public facilities. The City has the capacity to provide the water and sewer necessary for the 300-seat bingo hall operation through an existing sanitary sewer and watermain. The bingo hall will have sprinklers. 4.4 Police records indicate few disturbances or loitering calls at the current location. The clientele profile is primarily mature, non-drinking customers who utilize the bingo hall as much for socialization as for playing bingo. 4.5 The proposed use of an amusement establishment or bingo hall within an existing retail strip center will have little impact on surrounding property or values. Rooftop mechanical units will be screened; trash will be within a roofed enclosure or kept inside the building; lighting will be downcast and meet City Code requirements; and the parking lot areas adjacent to residential areas will be screened. 4.6 There appears to be little impact on general health, safety, and public welfare. The property has been a retail center since the 1960' s and the proposal to include the amusement establishment or bingo hall operation is only an interior modification with much less total impact than other high volume permitted users, especially 24-hour retail or fast food users. 5.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 5.1 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3 of this report, staff recommends approval of the request by Engelsma Limited Partnership LLP for a condition use permit to operate a 11,650 sq. ft. licensed bingo hall in Hamline Center, 2807 Hamline Avenue North, subject to the following conditions: A.
