Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 14, 2016 Page 5 semi-trailer storage, thus the application for an Interim Use. Mr. Paschke re- viewed the differences for the outdoor storage of trailers under an Interim Use in designated zoning areas where they would not typically be allowed and those con- sidered more “active” sites with semi-trailers stored outdoors storage under a Conditional Use, such as would be applicable if this text amendment was ap- proved for Motor Freight Terminal uses. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Paschke distinguished between the already-permitted Warehousing use and this proposed addition of Motor Freight Terminal as a Conditional Use, with Warehousing generally involving storage for longer terms versus simply trans loading merchandise from one truck to another in the Motor Freight Terminal use. Mayor Roe noted the reference in the RCA (page 2) consisting of an excerpt from the 2010 Zoning Code update that defined “Motor Freight Terminals” with staff determining that the use had been inadvertently omitted from the table of uses in that update. Councilmember Willmus stated he wasn’t sure he agreed that it was an oversight, but actually a desire to limit this type of use. Based on staff’s research and available information, and based on the definitions for “Industrial District” and Zoning Code definition of “Motor Freight Terminal,” Mr. Paschke reported that to the best of staff’s knowledge it was simply an over- sight in not listing that particular use. Mr. Paschke stated this was supported more given the number of such uses and their preferred location on the west side versus the east side of I-35W. Specific to the narrative related to a principle use or structure, Councilmember Willmus asked how it was determined if there was more than one on a site. Mr. Paschke responded that there could actually be two or more primary buildings on one site, and two or more separate uses. Mr. Paschke opined this was true on a number of sites in Roseville that would be no different than the narrative from the one applicant referenced by Councilmember Willmus at 2600 County Road C. Mayor Roe noted that the City Council was cognizant of the discussions held at the Planning Commission meetings.
