REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 9/23/2024 Item No.: 7.a. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Consider Resolutions and an Ordinance allowing the subdivision of a parcel from the west end of the Roseville Covenant Church property and re-guide and rezone it for low-to-medium density residential development (PF24-004) 1 2 Background 3 The subject of this application is the westernmost 120 feet of the Roseville Covenant Church parcel at 4 2856 Hamline Avenue.The church has no development plans for the western end of its property, but 5 seeks to create a parcel that can be developed by a potential future buyer. If the current application is 6 approved, the only effect on the church property itself would be to reduce its area by about 10%, which 7 would effectively increase the improvement area of the church property to an amount that would remain 8 under the Institutional (INST) zoning district's limit. The rest of this report is a summary analysis of the 9 subdivision and rezoning proposal with respect to the proposed new parcel. The full analysis by 10 Planning Division staff was presented to the Planning Commission and is included as Attachment 1. 11 12 Legislative Authority 13 When considering a request to change the comprehensive plan guidance of a property, or its zoning 14 designation, or both, the role of the City is legislative; to review a proposal for its merits in addition to 15 evaluating the potential impacts to the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. The 16 City has broad discretion when acting in its legislative capacity, such that even if a comprehensive plan 17 change or rezoning request is found to be compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and is otherwise a 18 desirable proposal, the City may still deny the request if the proposal fails to promote the public health, 19 safety, and general welfare. 20 21 When considering a subdivision request, the role of the City is quasi-judicial; to determine the facts 22 associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal standards contained in the 23 ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate an application meets the relevant legal 24 standards and will not compromise the public health, safety, and general welfare, then the applicant is 25 likely to be entitled to the approval. The City is, however, able to add conditions to a subdivision 26 approval to ensure that potential impacts on parks, schools, roads, storm sewers, and other public 27 infrastructure on and around the subject property are adequately addressed. Subdivisions may also be 28 modified to provide for the orderly, economical, and safe development of land, and to promote housing 29 affordability for all levels. 30 31 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Change 32 Given the community survey results documented in Roseville's 2040 Comprehensive Plan encouraging 33 development of vacant or underutilized land and the direct proximity of the subject site to land with a 34 Low Density Residential (LR) future land use guidance, the Planning Commission concurred with the 35 recommendation presented by Planning Division staff to re-guide the subject site from Institutional to LR. 36 37 Zoning Change 38 The recommended LR future land use category corresponds to two zoning districts: the Low Density 39 Residential (LDR) district and the Low to Medium Density Residential (LMDR) district.
