<br />REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />Department Approval: <br />DPW/TP <br /> <br />DATE: 10102/02 <br />ITEM NO: 6e <br />Agenda Section: <br />CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />Item Description: <br /> <br />A request by property owners for clarification of pre-existing, <br />nonconforming uses within the Roseville City Code Section 1005.07 <br />(B-6, Mixed Use Business Park Districts) prior to rezoning Twin <br />Lakes to a B-6, Mixed Use Business Park District (PF3359). <br /> <br />REQUEST: <br /> <br />Property owners, Northco Real Estate, St Paul Properties, Hagen, and Reco/Regan <br />have requested that the City Council/Planning Commission discuss the merits of <br />either: <br />1) not rezoning any Twin Lakes land to B-6 until a redevelopment proposal <br />is in hand, or <br /> <br />2) expanding the "pre-existing, nonconforming use" text definition and <br />exceptions for their land uses and buildings within the proposed Twin Lakes <br />"B-6" rezoning area. <br /> <br />The applicants' purpose would be to allow "pre-existing, nonconforming lots, uses <br />and structures" to expand, intensify, or change to another "nonconforming" use in <br />order to stabilize the lease and cash flow as well as retain or expand existing and <br />new tenants. <br /> <br />In July 2002, the City Council requested that the Planning Commission review the <br />case and provide further recommendations regarding the "pre-existing non <br />conforming lots, uses and structures". Since July the applicants have been working <br />with staff and the City Attorney to develop more explicit language dealing with the <br />"non-conforming use" issue. At the same time they have pointed out other areas in the <br />ordinance where clarification was necessary. Attached are their proposals. <br /> <br />1.0 BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />1.1 In September of 2001, the City of Roseville established in its Comprehensive Plan a <br />"Business Park" designation. The Twin Lakes Business Park Master Plan was approved <br />with that designation. On October 24, 2001, the Metropolitan Council approved the <br />designation of "Business Park" within the Twin Lakes Master Plan Amendment to the <br />City of Roseville Comprehensive Plan. The Commission formally reviewed this item on <br />November 14,2001. <br /> <br />1.2 During the fall of 200 1 the Community Development Department reviewed the Roseville <br />Zoning Ordinance to determine whether it was preferable to create a separate zoning <br />district for Twin Lakes or revise the existing district.
