PROJECT FILE 0036 506 Request by City of Roseville for approval of comprehensive plan and zoning map 507 changes for 3253 – 3261 Old Highway 8, comprehensive plan land use map change 508 from High Density Residential (HDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) and a 509 zoning classification change from High Density Residential-1 District (HDR-1) to 510 Medium Density Residential(MDR) District 511 Chair Boguszewski opened the public hearing for PROJECT FILE 0036 at 8:37 p.m. 512 As detailed in the staff report and attachments dated October 7, 2015, City Planner 513 Paschke briefly reviewed the request and provided a history and background of the 514 properties prior to their zoning re-designation in 2010 as a component of the overall 515 rezoning of the city to create consistency, and specifically rezoning of this area from 516 single-family residential to high density residential (HDR) designation. 517 Mr. Paschke noted that tonight’s is to consider changing designation of these two 518 parcels, currently zoned HDR, subsequent to a request received via the City Council in 519 June of this year; directing staff to initiate the open house process to consider changing 520 the comprehensive plan designation. Mr. Paschke reported on the open house held by 521 the city on July 23, 2015 with numerous residents in attendance, with their comments 522 provided as part of this meeting packet, as well as comments from owners of the parcels 523 under consideration. 524 As detailed in the staff report, Mr. Paschke reviewed zoning designation changes and/or 525 comprehensive plan guidance in 1979 as well as revisions in 2009, with the City Council 526 at that time determined it was not necessary to change the comprehensive plan, but the 527 current City Council views have changed and they are looking to modify the designation. 528 Mr. Paschke advised that the property located to the east along County Road C-2 is 529 zoned medium density residential (MDR) and those properties immediately to the south, 530 although townhomes and a condominium development, due to the land area and number 531 of units, is zoned HDR, even though townhomes are now typically considered MDR. 532 Mr. Paschke advised that staff’s recommendation is detailed in the staff report for the 533 Commission’s information, with action to recommend approval to the City Council 534 pending public comment at tonight’s public hearing. 535 Chair Boguszewski clarified that the overall intent of the proposed zoning change from 536 the City Council’s perspective is to facilitate development in this area that they feel is and 537 has been stymied. 538 Mr. Paschke responded that this actually was not the intent of the City Council, but 539 instead they believe HRD at this intersection and in this area is not appropriate as it may 540 be too much density for the area depending on development and potential number of 541 units coming directly off the parcels onto that intersection. Based on his interpretation of 542 the City Council’s request to review this land use designation, Mr. Paschke reported that 543 there were concerns were mainly directed at density and traffic, and not intended to 544 directly facilitate development by seeking this change. 545
