<br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCILACTION <br />Agenda Date: February 27, 2023 <br />Agenda Item: 10.f <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description:Adopt a Resolution approving a Conditional Use to allow aparking lot as a <br />principal use at 2373 and 2395 County Road C2 (PF22-015) <br />1 B ACKGROUND <br />2 AUNI Holdings, owner of 2929 Long Lake Road, recently executed a lease with FedEx to occupy <br />3 and make substantial improvements tothe existing building located at 2929 Long Lake Road. This <br />4 lease also includes a commitment to improve the parcels immediately west of 2929 Long Lake Road <br />5 along County Road C2 with a surface parking facility. FedEx’s proposed use and employment needs <br />6 at 2929 Long Lake Road necessitates the need to create additional employee parking at 2373 and <br />7 2395 County Road C2. The proposed site plan depicts 243 parking spaces. The parking lot is <br />8 intended for employee-only parking, unlike aprevious proposal reviewed in January by the Planning <br />9 Commission that included van parking. A parking lot as a principal use requires an approved <br />10 conditional use that complies with the requirements found in §1009.02.C7 <br />11 P LANNING C OMMISSION A CTION <br />12 On January 4, 2023, the Roseville Planning Commission held the duly noticed public hearing on the <br />13 request by ANUI Holdings, on behalf of FedEx and Robert Buegen, for a Conditional Use to allow a <br />14 parking lot as a principal use at 2373 and 2395 County Road C2. Two adjacent property owners were <br />15 allowed to address the Planning Commission (Frank Yaquinto, 2405 County Road C2 and Don <br />16 Bromen, ownership group for Aquarius Apartments) indicating their concerns. Mr. Yaquinto was <br />17 opposed to the proposal for a variety of reasons. Mr. Bromen was not directly opposed, but did <br />18 express concerns, namely on screening and loss of trees. During this initial Commission review, the <br />19 item was tabled to afford the applicant additional time to provide an updated site plan reflecting the <br />20 owner’s testimony that some of the needs had changed and the current site plan was not wholly <br />21 accurate anymore (PC Minutes 01/04/23 as Attachment A). <br />22 On February 1, 2023, the Planning Commission reopened the public hearing to consider the revised <br />23 parking lot site plan, for which a presentation and recommendation was given by staff (RPCA Packet <br />24 as Attachment B). <br />25 At the reopened public hearing, Commissioners had a number of questions or clarifications of staff <br />26 and the applicant regarding the proposal and additional comments were made by Frank Yaquinto, <br />27 2405 County Road C2 and Don Bromen, ownership group for Aquarius Apartments (PC Minutes <br />28 02/01/23 as Attachment C). <br />29 During both the January and February Planning Commission meetings, the public and Commissioners <br />30 discussed traffic impacts. The Public Works Director indicated traffic is not a concern, but in an <br />31 effort to address questions surrounding the potential for three shifts of employee parking and whether <br />32 the existing roadway can accommodate that traffic, the Public Works Director provided a memo <br />33 outlining the worst-case traffic load for three shifts of employee parking (Attachment E).
