Attachment B EMO8,2014, XTRACT OF THE INUTES OF THE CTOBER RPC OSEVILLE LANNING OMMISSION d.Project File 0017-Amendment 23 Request by the Community Development Department to amend certain requirements contained in Roseville City Code, Section 1009.03 (Interim Uses) Chair Gisselquist opened the Public Hearing at 8:12 p.m. City Planner Thomas Paschke reviewed the request as detailed in the staff report dated October 8, 2014, specifically highlighting the proposed amendment for Interim Use in lines 63 – 71 of the report. In addition to the proposed amendments noted in the report, Mr. Paschke suggested another possible amendment to Item 3 (lines 70-71) to read: “\[Upon an event\] that will terminate…” Mr. Paschke advised that this language was based on MN State Statute 2013, Section 394.303 Interim Uses, and was the preferred language of the Community Development Department versus totally eliminating the language in #3 (line 70). Chair Gisselquist asked staff to clarify the scope of the action, noting that the Vogel Sheetmetal case had been acted on previously, and was not before the Commission as part of this request, with that already at the City Council level; and the purpose of this proposed text amendment was to allow more flexibility in terms. Mr. Paschke confirmed that the Vogel Sheetmetal Interim Use had been approved by the City Council and was moving forward in the process. Chair Gisselquist further asked staff to address how this could impact the Vogel Sheetmetal Interim Use, as they were seeking financing to make their improvements and the only way to obtain it was through changed zoning and comprehensive plan amendment to make the site and use a permitted use; or through seeking an Interim Use that could support a duration of twenty years with other conditions applied. In order to do anything different, Chair Gisselquist clarified that even if the Commission recommended amending the language today, anyone wanting to do something different, including the Vogel’s, would need to reapply. Mr. Paschke advised that not a lot of people sought to extend their Interim Use, but anyone was able to apply for an Interim Use. As he’d indicated in his summary before, the Interim Use was for a use not currently allowed in City Code, and there were not many currently out there other than Vogel that came immediately to mind. At the prompting of Member Daire related to the Spire Credit Union on tonight’s agenda, Mr. Paschke clarified that the Planning Commission’s recommendation for approval of their Interim Use request for signage had yet to be approved by the City Council. Mr. Paschke further noted that the State Fair could seek a longer exemption than their current five year renewals; but again clarified that each Interim use was no different than any other Planning application and was reviewed on its own merits and requirements on a case by case basis. If these amendments are approved, Mr. Paschke opined that the Commission would probably see Vogel Sheetmetal seeking an amendment to their current Interim Use permit to seek an extension of their timeframe to allow improvements to be made to the building. Chair Gisselquist stated that he had gotten the impression from reports and NextDoor comments that this discussion was focused on Vogel Sheetmetal; however, he now understood that it has impacts not only to their Permit, but others as well.
