40 immediate proximity of this site to the abutting LMDR and Institutional zoning districts, as well as the <br />41 High Density Residential district across the street, The Planning Commission concurred with staff's <br />42 analysis that it would be inappropriate to rezone this one parcel to become a lone LDR-zoned property <br />43 among the three other more intensive zoning districts and recommended rezoning the property to the <br />44 LMDR district. <br />45 <br />46 Preliminary Plat <br />47 The proposed lot is 120 feet wide and slightly more than 165 feet deep, which is a little less than half an <br />48 acre in area. Because the LMDR district requires a minimum density of five dwellings per acre and a <br />49 maximum of eight dwellings per acre, the proposed lot could accommodate between 2.3 dwellings and <br />50 3.6 dwellings. Although specific development plans are not part of this application because the applicant <br />51 does not intend to be the developer, the proposed lot has enough width and area to accommodate a <br />52 variety of possible residential development types within the LMDR zoning district. The Planning <br />53 Commission recommended approval of the proposed preliminary plat, with typical conditions related to <br />54 storm water management and park dedication. <br />55 <br />56 Public Comment <br />57 The public hearing for this application was held by the Planning Commission on September 4, 2024. <br />58 Draft minutes of the public hearing, emails from the public received by Planning Division staff, memos <br />59 from members of Roseville's Development Review Committee, and the summary of the developer's <br />60 open house meeting are included as Attachment 2. In light of the concerns expressed regarding the <br />61 potential impacts of the proposal on the pond on the church property, staff would like to clarify that this is <br />62 not a natural pond, but it is a storm water pond built concurrently with the construction of the church in <br />63 the early 1990s. <br />64 <br />65 Policy Objectives <br />66 Establish publicprivate partnerships to ensure lifecycle housing throughout that City attracts <br />67 and retains a diverse mix of people, family types, economic statuses, ages, and so on. <br />68 Explore opportunities to encourage smaller housing units, “nontraditional” housing development <br />69(which could include culturallyappropriate housing to reflect the population demographics of the <br />70 City), and opportunities to address the lack of housing in the “missing middle”. <br />71 <br />72 <br />73 Equity Impact Summary <br />74 The policy choice posed by the current application is whether to change the future land use and zoning <br />75 maps to enable development of new "missing-middle" housing on the subject property. The high cost of <br />76 housing disproportionately affects communities of color and households with low or fixed incomes, and <br />77 increasing the supply of new housing at any size or price can help relieve the market pressure driving up <br />78 housing costs. Even if new dwellings built on the subject property do not meet the technical parameters <br />79 to be considered 'affordable', per se, missing-middle housing is less costly than comparable housing <br />80 built as detached homes on larger lots. <br />81 <br />82 Budget Implications <br />83 Receipt of park dedication funds commensurate with the number of new dwelling units developed on the <br />84 proposed new parcel <br />85 <br />86 Staff Recommendations <br />87 Planning Division staff recommends three actions. <br />88 1. Adopt a resolution approving the proposed amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br />89 Future Land Use Map re-guiding the western 120 feet of the subject property from Institutional <br />90 land uses to Low Density Residential land uses, based on the content of this RCA, public input, <br />91 and City Council deliberation. <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Qbhf!6!pg!345 <br /> <br />
