REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 1/26/2026 Item No.: 10.i. Department ApprovalCity Manager Approval Item Description:Adopt a Resolution approving motor vehicle repair as a Conditional Use for Roseville Automotive, 2150 Hamline Avenue 1 2 Background 3 Legislative Authority 4 When considering Conditional Use requests, the role of the City is quasi-judicial; to determine the facts 5 associated with a particular proposal and apply those facts to the legal standards contained in the 6 ordinance and relevant state law. In general, if the facts indicate the application meets the relevant legal 7 standards and will not compromise public health, safety, and general welfare, then the applicant is likely 8 to be entitled to the approval. The City is, however, able to add conditions to a Conditional Use approval 9 to ensure that potential impacts on parks, schools, roads, storm sewers, and other public infrastructure 10 on and around the subject property are adequately addressed. 11 12 Background 13 On January 29, 2024, the City Council approved a Zoning Code text change in support of allowing 14 “motor vehicle repair, auto body shop” as a Conditional Use (CU) in the Neighborhood Mixed-Use (MU- 15 1) district. This text amendment to Table 1005-2 changed “motor vehicle repair, auto body shop” from a 16 prohibited use to a CU in the MU-1 district. 17 18 Scott Beitz is a prospective buyer of Roseville Automotive located at 2150 Hamline Avenue and has filed 19 an application for CU consideration. The property, located at the southeast corner of Hamline and 20 County Road B, was originally constructed in 1954 and has always been an automobile service station 21 and is therefore permitted to operate given the use was established prior to current CU requirement. 22 23 However, Mr. Beitz intends to grow the business by constructing additional service bays to keep pace 24 with the growth of his business. Given the current CU requirement, this addition/business expansion 25 requires consideration and approval of a CU. The proposed 52-foot by 30-foot addition to the south side 26 of the existing service station required a 17.5-foot variance to the 20-foot minimum side yard 27 setback. The variance was approved by the Variance Board (2-1) on December 3, 2025, and has gone 28 into effect since no appeal of the approval was received. The CU request, including plans for the 29 proposed addition, are detailed in the Request for Planning Commission Action provided as Attachment 30 1. 31 32 This request mirrors a similar request made by another automotive repair business located on the 33 opposite corner of this same intersection of County Road B and Hamline Avenue. 34 35 Policy Objectives 36 The regulations provided in the Zoning Code intend to govern the use of all land and structures within 37 the City. 38 39 Equity Impact Summary Page 1 of 2 Qbhf!213!pg!277
