Attachment A - RPCA_04_06_16 limited production and processing use should not be audible from adjacent properties or 93 adjacent tenants, and therefore, there is not a need to require sound mitigation strategies. The 94 definition of this use specifically states “ancillary or accessory uses which are conducted 95 indoors and which would not be disruptive of, or incompatible with, other office, retail, or 96 service uses that may be in the same building or complex.”Planning Division finds that 97 limited production and processing as an accessory use is compatible with the existing office 98 use and other uses in the neighborhood. 99 d. The proposed use will not create an excessive burden on parks, streets, and other public 100 facilities. Planning Division staff does not expect the addition of this accessory use to create 101 an excessive burden on parks, streets, or other public facilities. Vogel Mechanical is a small 102 Monday-Friday company with a majority of work performed off-site at various locations 103 throughout the Metro. As such, they will have a limited impact on public facilities such a 104 water and sanitary sewer, streets or parks. The proposed use appears to be less intensive than 105 the previous use (Aramark), which had a lot of trucking activity. 106 e. The proposed use will not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood, will not negatively 107 impact traffic or property values, and will not otherwise harm the public health, safety, and 108 general welfare. Planning Division staff anticipates that if limited production and processing 109 as an accessory use is approved, it would add very little traffic to the adjacent road network. 110 Similarly, the primary use has a very limited impact, given the small size of the business. 111 This additional traffic created by a single limited production and processing employee would 112 be minimal and not impose an excessive burden on the public street infrastructure. Staff also 113 believes the addition of limited production and processing as an accessory use in this location 114 would not have a noticeable effect on the value of nearby property as the area is currently 115 occupied by a mix of similar uses. Lastly, as addressed in “c” above, the proposed use by 116 Vogel Mechanical complies with the definition of Limited production/processing - accessory 117 use, specifically: “ancillary or accessory uses which are conducted indoors and which would 118 not be disruptive of, or incompatible with, other office, retail, or service uses that may be in 119 the same building or complex.” 120 PDA LANNINGIVISIONNALYSIS 121 On June 23, 2014, the Roseville City Council approved a resolution allowing an Interim Use 122 (IU) of the subject property. This approval allowed Vogel Mechanical (then Vogel Sheetmetal) 123 to use the building and site as their corporate headquarters, including the limited production and 124 processing component. The reason the IU was necessary is because the non-conforming status of 125 the former use expired and the property reverted to the former zoning designation of High 126 Density Residential. In January of this year, the City changed the zoning of the property from 127 HDR-1 to Community Mixed-Use-1, which now permits the office uses and allows the applicant 128 to apply for a CU regarding the limited production and processing as an accessory use. 129 During the public hearing at the Commission meeting of June 4, 2014, and again at the City 130 Council meeting of June 23, 2014, concerns by neighbors were expressed regarding the need to 131 screen the site to better protect the adjacent neighborhood from potential production and 132 processing activity. As a result, the following two conditions were approved by the City: 133 The applicant shall install opaque fencing of 6-8 feet in height and coniferous plantings 134 or landscaping along the northern edge of the property; and 135 Doors shall be closed during operation. 136 PF16-007_RPCA_030216 Page 4 of 8
