Because of the flexibility it offers, Roseville has used PUD's as the primary zoning tool in redevelopment projects. In considering proposed planned unit developments, the City considers all standards and purposes of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan to achieve a maximum coordination between the proposed development and the surrounding uses, and the protection of health, safety and welfare of the community. 2.6 The process also allows the City to consider the internal uses and location of the buildings, parking areas and other features with respect to building access; the efficiency, adequacy and safety of the proposed layout of internal drive lanes and driveways; the adequacy and location of landscaping and green areas; the adequacy, location, and screening of parking areas; and such other matters as the City may find to have a material bearing on the stated standards and objectives of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 2.7 The Roseville Zoning Code does distinguish between manufacturing and office uses for parking purposes. The Code requires five (5) off-street parking spaces per 1,000 s.f. of net leasable office space. For schools, the code requires 1.25 spaces per classroom and for general assembly/meeting spaces the Code requires I space per each 3 seats. The Code also allows for shared/joint parking. The proposal indicates there are 1,973 off-street parking spaces for the 695,800 s.f. of gross area (584,400 s.f. is leasable), of which 8.5% or 50,000 s.f. would be occupied by the school. The City, in the past, has recognized the unique parking requirements of mixed-use centers and has written the PUD to account for these unique conditions, setting specific standards for each type of use. The proponents state that the additional 50,000 s.f. of school (instead of office area) will add bus traffic, and up to 35 faculty/support employee cars but because of the size of the site and the large existing parking areas, there will be little negative impact on the environment (The applicant estimates 70 - 80 spaces may be needed for parent teacher meetings or other peak times). In fact traffic volumes may decline in comparison to the peak use days on the site with Unisys (office uses would require 250 spaces for the 50,000 s.f. school site). Driveways and parking within existing parking lot will remain. Access will be provided from Walnut Street and Terminal Drive. 2.8 The proposed facility will be part of the large structure with a minimum of six different uses in the 1 and 2 story structure, which is approximately 28 feet in height. Approximately 443,000 s.f. are on the first floor with 251,000 s.f. on the second floor. Approximately 270,000 s.f. (39%) of the building is currently vacant. The main entry will continue to face east to Walnut Street. The schools would face west and be located along the southwest end of the complex. In this area the existing architecture is 1960's office and industrial modern - a mix in design, consisting of concrete and glass panel, brick, concrete block exterior materials and a flat roof with existing rooftop HV AC clearly visible from some property lines.
