B ACKGROUND 10 The 1979 Comprehensive Plan guided the subject properties as High Density Residential (HDR), 11 and the Official Zoning Map classified them as Single Family Residential District (R-1). During the 12 2008 update process of Roseville’s Comprehensive Plan, the two properties remained HDR, as the 13 adjacent uses were generally high density residential and the subject properties lie adjacent to two 14 busy intersections (Old Highway 8 and County Road C2). In 2010, as a component of the overall 15 rezoning of the City to create consistency between land use designations and zoning classifications 16 required under State Statutes, the City Council discussed changing the two subject properties to a 17 lower density. The Council ultimately decided at that time that the guiding and zoning were 18 appropriate and no change was considered. Subsequently the two properties were rezoned from R-1 19 to the newly created High Density Residential-1 District (HDR-1). 20 Over the past few years, the Planning Division has had discussions with interested developers about 21 possible multi-family residential projects on the 3253 property, however, none of these proposals 22 have come forth to seek formal approval. 23 In June 2015, the Roseville City Council discussed the subject sites and their current land use 24 designations and instructed the Planning staff to begin the process to change the guiding and zoning 25 to medium density. 26 An applicant seeking approval of a CLUP and/or Z 27 OMPREHENSIVE ANDSELAN MAP CHANGEONING is required to hold an open house meeting to inform the surrounding property owners 28 MAP CHANGE and other interested individuals of the proposal, to answer questions, and to solicit feedback. The 29 open house for this application was held on July 23, 2015; comment sheets completed by most all 30 attendees and the emails received by the City Planner are included with this staff report as 31 Attachment C. The owners of the two properties in question were notified about the open house and 32 the City’s proposal. 33 PA ROPOSEDNALYSIS 34 CLUPMC: City Code §201.07 (Comprehensive Plan 35 OMPREHENSIVE ANDSELANAPHANGE Amendments) allows property owners to seek, and the Planning Commission to recommend, 36 changes to the Comprehensive Plan. A recommendation by the Planning Commission to approve a 37 change to the Comprehensive Plan must have the affirmative votes of at least 5/7ths of the Planning 38 Commission’s total membership. 39 The Comprehensive Plan identifies the following: 40 Land-Use Issues 41 This residential neighborhood is often perceived as being isolated as it is separated from the rest of 42 Roseville’s neighborhoods by major highways, a railroad, and the large industrial area west of I- 43 35W. Bordering the southeast side of the district is County Road 88, which produces traffic and 44 noise that can negatively impact the neighborhood. Existing land uses on the east side of County 45 Road 88 are primarily heavy and light industrial as part of Roseville’s large industrial area west of 46 I-35W. The neighborhood would benefit from improved access to the rest of the Roseville, including 47 on- or off-street routes for walking and biking that would better connect the neighborhood to the 48 City’s parks and recreation system. 49 Planning District 1 contains one vacant site, which consists of two adjacent parcels totaling 50 approximately nine acres located just south of County Road D between Old Highway 8 and County 51 Road 88. Because potential soil and fill material problems on the site would challenge the economic 52 feasibility of developing a multistory building, the site’s previous future land use designation was 53 PROJ0036_RPCA_CompPlanZoning_100715 Page 2 of 4
