REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSIONACTION Agenda Date:5/4/2016 PH Agenda Item:6d UBLIC EARING Item Description:Request to amend City Code Section 1004.09C (Improvement Area) to allow greater development of building footprints and paved surfaces on parcels in the LDR-2 zoning district (PF16-010) AI PPLICATIONNFORMATION Applicant:Golden Valley Land Company Open House Meeting:N/A Application Submission:receivedand considered complete on April 1, 2016 City Action Deadline:May 31, 2016,per Minn. Stat. §15.99 LCDD-M EVEL OF ITY ISCRETIONIN ECISIONAKING legislative Action taken on a proposed zoning change is in nature; the City has broad discretion in making land use decisions based on advancing the health, safety, and general welfare of the community. ZAA ONINGMENDMENTNALYSIS 1 In the Low-and Medium-Density residential zoning districts, building footprints and paved 2 surfaces are limited to 30% of the overall areaof parcels used for development of single-family 3 detached homes. The purpose of such a limit is to manage storm water runoffthat isgenerated by 4 buildings andother“hard surfaces.”Since the adoption of Roseville’s original zoning code in 5 1959, buildings and paved surfaces on R-1properties(equivalent to today’s LDR-1 district)have 6 been limited to 30% of the parcel area, but such improvements were allowed on up to 40% of R- 7 2parcels(equivalent to the current LDR-2 district). When the zoning code was updated in 2010, 8 however, that differentiation was inadvertently lost, and LDR-2 parcels were restricted to the 9 same 30% limit as LDR-1parcels,even though LDR-2 parcels were assigned smaller minimum 10 parcel sizes. The following table illustrates the effect of the 2010 zoning revisions on the 11 development potential for LDR-2 parcels. 12 Hard Surface Allowance by Zoning District and Date Lot Area Hard SurfaceHard Surface District (year) MinimumLimitMaximum R-1 (1959)11,000 sq. ft.30%3,300 sq. ft.

In 1959, parcels in the R-1 district were subject to 11,000 square-foot minimum area 13 requirements and, with a 30% allowance of building footprints and paved surfaces, permitted at 14 least 3,300 square feet of building and pavement area (depending on the actual parcel size).
