1 B ACKGROUND 2 The 3 commercial buildings, and the applicant proposes to subdivide the existing single lot so that each 4 commercial building is situated on its own lot. Most subdivision proposals are intended to 5 6 submittal requirements for plat applications include storm water calculations, tree preservation 7 plans, and other information related to future development. In this case, the purpose of the 8 Roseville Plaza plat is to allow a vacant building on the property (the former Golfsmith store) to 9 be marketed as a stand-alone property which could reach a wider pool of potential buyers. The 10 proposed plat is illustrated in Exhibit C, and because this subdivision proposal does not represent 11 a net increase in the number of developable lots and is not intended to facilitate new 12 development, the additional development-related information required of conventional plat 13 proposals was waived for this application. 14 -subdivision request, the role of the City is to 15 determine the facts associated with a particular request and apply those facts to the legal 16 standards contained in the ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the 17 application meets the relevant legal standards and will not compromise the public health, safety, 18 and general welfare, then the applicant is likely entitled to the approval. The City is, however, 19 able to add conditions to a subdivision approval to ensure that potential impacts to parks, 20 schools, roads, storm sewers, and other public infrastructure on and around the subject property 21 are adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be modified to promote the public health, 22 safety, general welfare, convenience, and good order of the community, and to provide for the 23 orderly, economical, and safe development of land, and to promote housing affordability for all 24 levels. 25 A NALYSIS OF P ROPOSAL 26 January 24 and February 7, 2019, to 27 review the proposed subdivision plans. Below are the comments based on the 28 the application. 29 Proposed Lots 30 The zoning and subdivision codes do not specify minimum lot sizes or preferred lot boundary 31 configurations for commercial properties. The Community Business (CB) zoning district does, 32 however, have requirements for building and parking area setbacks, improvement area, and other 33 development parameters that must be addressed. Because the existing improvements on the 34 property were developed before the CB district was established in 2010, the improvements are 35 legally nonconforming with respect to the frontage parking placement requirements, which 36 would arrange a site such that the buildings are situated closer to the public right-of-way and the 37 parking areas are beside or behind the buildings. Depending on how one views the locations of 38 39 existing nonconformities, or that the plat might actually reduce some of the existing 40 nonconformities by bring front property lines closer to the existing buildings on Lot 2 and Lot 3. 41 Either way, Planning Division staff finds the proposed plat does not increase any existing, legal 42 nonconforming conditions. One site condition that would change by implementing the proposed 43 lot boundaries is the setback of the former Golfsmith structure from the new western boundary of 44 Lot 2. According to the proposal, the existing structure would stand at least 6.5 feet from the new 7.e RCA Page 2 of 4
