REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION DATE: 12/03/03 ITEM NO: 8a Department Approval: Agenda Section: DPW/DJW Item Description: DISCUSSION Amendment to Zoning Map to Designate Parks and Open Space as "POS" (PF3539) 1.0 BACKGROUND: In July and August of 2003, the City held public hearings/readings and created a new zoning district called "Public Park and Open Space" or "POS". The original request came with the Vista 2000 report and has been carried forward within the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and the Park Systems Plan. The Park and Recreation Commission has endorsed this concept. Within Roseville there are nearly 1,200 acres of some type of park and recreation or open space use. The City has 657 acres of parks as well as the Cedarholm Golf Course at 26 acres. The County has the majority ofthe remaining publicly-owned uses such as beaches (18 acres) and open spaces (133 acres). The other large open space is the privately-owned Midland Hills Golf Course at 160 acres which is excluded from this amendment. The "POS" district was established as a means of clarifying and protecting lands actually located within city and county park and open spaces. Uses allowed within this "POS" district are public park uses and buildings and those uses adopted within the master plan for the site within the Parks System Plan. The next step in the process is to identify all park and open space parcels which the city or county currently owns. A GIS map has been created that illustrates the dispersed nature of the city-owned parcels that must be changed from "R-I", "R-3A", "B-1", "PUD" and "I-I" and "1-2" to "POS". In an attachment, each park is listed along with the parcel identification number and the existing zoning on that parcel. Some issues to be resolved in the next month include ... 1. School Districts - Do they wish to have their parcels currently used for park and recreation purposes changed to "POS"? 2. County Parks - Do they wish to have their parcels currently used for park and recreation purposes changed to "POS"? 3. PIN Consolidation - Many of the parks and some of the open space and ponding areas are contained within multiple parcels. How can the city consolidate the parcels to create one tax and GIS parcel for each park? 4. Park Address - Can one official address be created for each park? 5. Published Notice - How does the staff notify for this city-wide map change hearing? (Staff has reviewed this with the City Attorney. Individual property notice is not required on this city-wide change to the zoning map, but rather published notice and a published map.)
