<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br /> <br />DATE: 06/26/01 <br />ITEM NO: <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />CONSENT <br /> <br />A request by Perry Noland, Roseville Auto Repair at 2150 Hamhne Avenue <br />request for applicable parking and paving setback variances to allow renovation <br />of the property and to conform with the (B-3) zoning district requirements. <br />(PF3316). <br /> <br />Manager Approved: <br /> <br /> <br />1.0 REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 Perry Noland has requested approval of applicable parking and paving setback variances for <br />his Roseville Auto Repair Shop located at 2150 Hamline Avenue in order to renovate the <br />parking and landscaping on the site. <br /> <br />1.2 Section 1013.02 of the City Code specifies the procedures for considering property variances. <br />Section 1005 specifies setback and parking requirements within the B-3 zone, specifically <br />Section 1005.D6 states that parking may be no closer than 15 feet to a right-of-way and Section <br />1005.011 specifies parking setbacks from side and rear lot lines and where there are adjoining <br />residential properties. Section 1010 specifies the design standards for site improvements. <br /> <br />2.0 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />2.1 Mr. Noland has expressed interest in updating the parking and landscaping surrounding the <br />auto repair structure, previously used as a gas station. The building was constructed in 1954 and <br />is a permitted pre-existing but non-conforming structure and parking. Staff reviewed the <br />proposal and concluded that variances would be necessary to complete work on the site. <br /> <br />2.2 The 11,400 square foot property is currently zoned B-3, General Business District which allows <br />auto repair (as a new use) as a conditional use permit. The current use of the property has been <br />active since 1954. <br /> <br />2.3 The staff researched the comprehensive plan designation for the property and concluded that <br />2150 Hamline Avenue has been either in either a business or commercial designation from <br />1959 through the 1979 succession of community plans. <br /> <br />3.0 PROJECT REVIEW WITH STAFF COMMENT & FINDINGS <br /> <br />3.1 Section 1005 states that parking must have a 15 foot setback from right of ways. Based on the <br />proposal a variance is necessary to allow the existing parking to remain and be improved. <br /> <br />3.2 Section 1013.02 requires the applicant to demonstrate a physical hardship and to demonstrate <br />that no practical alternatives exist that would reduce the need for a variance. <br /> <br />PF3316 - RCA3316(06260 1) Page 1 of 4 <br />
