Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 5, 2013 Page 3 Ayes: 5 96 Nays: 0 97 Motion carried unanimously by super majority. 98 Anticipated City Council action is scheduled at their June 17, 2013 meeting. 99 PROJECT FILE 13-0017 b. 100 Request by Roseville Planning Division for consideration of ZONING TEXT 101 CHANGES to Sections 1005-02 Design Standards and 1009.02D Specific Standards 102 and Criteria regarding drive-through and refuse locations 103 Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing for Project File 13-0017 at about 6:50 p.m. 104 City Planner Paschke reviewed this requested ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT constituting 105 minor tweaks to sections as detailed in the staff report dated June 5, 2013. 106 Discussion included various existing examples (e.g. Rainbow/Roundy’s on Larpenteur 107 and Fernwood Avenues) and their drive-through pharmacy window locations, with some 108 applications completed prior to the 2010 Zoning Code update; with many of those 109 existing projects that might now require a variance. 110 Mr. Paschke advised that there was some flexibility for locating drive-throughs based on 111 the building’s footprint, its design prototype, and obvious traffic flow for location drive- 112 throughs and/or dock doors; with an administrative review possible versus the more 113 formalized process, based on design standards in place. 114 At the request of Member Cunningham, Mr. Paschke assured the Commission that the 115 administrative decision process provided enough enforcement for staff to ensure projects 116 met code requirements “to the extent feasible,” and if any deviation was sought, the 117 applicant would need to provide sound information and rationale for their building layout 118 not meeting code. In the end, Mr. Paschke advised that if staff determined that the 119 applicant would meet code, it would not consider any deviation, and if the applicant 120 chose, could appeal that administrative decision to the City Council as recourse. 121 Chair Gisselquist closed the Public Hearing at 7:04 p.m.; no one spoke for or against. 122 MOTION 123 Member Boguszewski moved, seconded by Member Gisselquist to recommend to 124 the City Council APPROVAL of the proposed ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS to 125 Sections 1005.01 Design Standards and 1009.02D.12 Conditional Uses; Specific 126 Standards and Criteria; and Drive-through Facilities; as detailed in Section 2 of the 127 Project Report dated April 25, 2013. 128 Ayes: 5 129 Nays: 0 130 Motion carried. 131 Anticipated City Council action is scheduled at their June 17, 2013 meeting. 132 PROJECT FILE 13-0017 c. 133 Request by Roseville Planning Division for consideration of ZONING TEXT 134 CHANGES to Sections 1005.02I and 1006.02D specific to Garage Doors and 135 Loading Docks requirements and creation of a new definition in Section 1001.10 of 136 the Zoning Ordinance for overhead doors. 137 Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing for Project File 13-0017 at about 7:05 p.m. 138 City Planner Paschke reviewed this requested ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT for 139 clarifying types of doors and creating a new designation regarding overhead doors, as 140 detailed in the staff report dated June 5, 2013. 141 Mr. Paschke advised that this issue had come up during a review of industrial projects 142 along Walnut Street, and the City’s overarching goal to not have certain types of doors 143 facing a public street (e.g. distribution facilities) and rather that they be located on the 144 interior or at the read. Mr. Paschke noted that this came up again when FedEx installed 145
