Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, August 3, 2016 Page 8 recourse the city undertook or what triggered an on-site visit by staff where they 359 may observe a problem or when those were discovered, especially when some 360 property owners may not realize they’re in excess of allowed standards. 361 Mr. Lloyd admitted that if the property is old enough, it was not unusual that they 362 exceeded some of the current limits; or if something was constructed or paved 363 before the current owner arrived. In those cases, where there was nothing 364 suggesting the situation was anything other than legal, nonconforming, Mr. Lloyd 365 advised that staff would then require the property owner to do some accounting 366 for their new planned development depending on their plans, such as removing 367 coverage elsewhere on the site to mitigate the new addition. Under any 368 circumstance, Mr. Lloyd advised that additional approvals for the property owner 369 would be required. 370 Chair Boguszewski closed the public hearing at 7:43 p.m.; no one spoke for or 371 against. 372 MOTION 373 Member Murphy moved, seconded by Member Daire to recommend to the 374 City Council APPROVAL of the proposed ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT in the 375 redlined draft ordinance as presented as RPCA Attachment A, based on the 376 comments and findings of the staff report dated August 3, 2016. 377 Ayes: 7 378 Nays: 0 379 Motion carried 380 Consensus of the Commission, stated by Member Murphy to staff, was that this 381 provided fair treatment for LDR-2 designated properties, and good codification of 382 city code. 383 Member Daire noted that it was interesting that the Public Works staff found 384 impervious land coverage in the existing LDR-2 zones at 38%, and with the 385 Planning Commission recommending 40%, it provided confirmation that the 386 number is right. 387 PROJECT FILE 0017, Amendment 29 c. 388 Request by the City of Roseville to amend City Code Chapter 1004 389 (Residential Districts) to opt out of the requirements of MN Statute Chapter 390 462.3593 pertaining to temporary family health care dwellings. 391 Chair Boguszewski opened the public hearing for Project File 0017 at 8:44 p.m. 392 Mr. Lloyd referenced the details in of this new state mandate, and information 393 provided by the League of Minnesota Cities included in meeting materials. As 394 noted in lines 41 – 44 of the staff report of today’s date, Mr. Lloyd advised that a 395 deeper discussion and public was desired to accommodate this option. However, 396 Mr. Lloyd noted with the September 1, 2016 deadline from the state, the first step 397 would be to opt out of the state’s regulations and allow time to develop regulations 398 reflecting the needs and preferences of Roseville residents. 399 Mr. Lloyd noted this area would be addressed in the city’s large zoning chapter, 400 1011.12, and within additional standards as noted in the staff report; essentially 401 adding a section to that broad chapter to address this type of housing option. 402 Chair Boguszewski noted this legislation came up at the recent joint meeting of 403 the City Council and Planning Commission, and while the city may be interested 404 in putting in place a policy that may even exceed the state mandate, given the 405 short timeframe between when the legislation came forward and the September 1, 406 2016 date to opt out or comply with state requirements, this was the first step. 407 Chair Boguszewski noted this would allow time to deliberate in a more thorough 408 manner how to facilitate this idea.
