47 order to leave the garage in place. If the City Council agrees that it is reasonable to allow a deviation 48 from the zoning or subdivision code standards to maintain the affordability of an existing home and 49 accommodate a new home, Planning Division staff suggests the proposed straight lot boundary is 50 preferable to the alternative even though the new Lot 1 would only be 76 feet wide. It bears noting the 51 City, according to a 2018 Housing Needs Assessment, remains in need of for-sale housing units even 52 after accounting for all new for-sale housing units created since the study was commissioned. 53 Setbacks and Impervious Coverage 54 Although building setbacks are not specifically reviewed and approved as part of a plat application, the 55 generalized building location represented in the preliminary development plans appears to conform to 56 the minimum property line setbacks of the LDR district of the City Code. 57 Likewise, the impervious coverage limits established in the zoning code are not strictly regulated in the 58 plat review process, but the impervious surfaces representedin plat application materials are withinthe 59 30% limit on these parcels. 60 Storm Water Management 61 A storm water management plan is a required component of a plat application. In this case, however, the 62 storm water management practices implemented in the surrounding Wheaton Woods development have 63 capacity to accommodate more than this one additional home. Therefore, while a grading plan is 64 included as part of Attachment C no storm water management plan is needed for this proposal. 65 Additional information from Public Works Department staff is included with this RCA as part of 66 Attachment D. 67 Tree Preservation 68 The tree preservation and replacement requirements in §1011.04 of the City Code provide a way to 69 quantify the amount of tree material being removed for a given project and to calculate the resulting tree 70 replacement obligation. Unlike the storm water management plan, a tree preservation plan for the 71 proposed new lot is necessary in this case because there was not a surplus of tree material remaining 72 from the earlier Wheaton Woods development. The applicant has provided the inventory of trees and the 73 associated calculation, which are included in Attachment C. Preliminary calculations based on the 74 proposed development would elicit no replacement obligation. 75 Park Dedication 76 The subdivision proposal was reviewed on November 1, 2022, by Roseville’s Parks and Recreation 77 Commission, which recommended a dedication of cash in lieu of park land. Additional information from 78 Parks and Recreation Department staff is included with this RCA as part of Attachment D. 79 3´¡£¨µ¨²¨® 6 ±¨ ¢¤ 80 The proposed plat includes a lot that is 76 feet in width. Because this less than the 85-foot minimum 81 established in Table 1004-3 (LDR Dimensional Standards) of the City Code, the proposed plat relies on 82 the approval of a subdivision variance as noted earlier in this RCA. Section 1102.02.C of the City Code 83 establishes a mandate that the City make four specific findings about a subdivision variance request as a 84 prerequisite for approving the variance pertaining to the nonconforming width of Lot 1. Planning 85 Division staff has reviewed the application and offers the following draft findings. 86 1. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is generally consistent with the 87 Comprehensive Plan because it represents the Comprehensive Plan’s goals of providing a variety of low 88 density housing options in the community. 89 2. The proposal is in harmony with the purposes and intent of the zoning and subdivision ordinances. 90 The basic purposes and intent of the zoning and subdivision ordinances as they apply to this situation are 7d RCA.docx Page 3 of 5
