Comprehensive Plan. The Church needs to remain and grow. The City of Roseville could <br />1 <br />joint venture with the Church and the Park Foundation. <br />2 <br />3 <br />LouiseDiesler, Prince of Peace member, supported the senior project and the need for <br />4 <br />housing. The park belongs to all, including seniors. <br />5 <br />6 <br />DonZabell stated he supported the senior project, not to preclude who uses the park. <br />7 <br />Senior housing adjacent to the church serves senior needs. <br />8 <br />9 <br />Letters received in support and opposition were acknowledged and placed on file <br />10 <br />(attached). <br />11 <br />12 <br />ChairRhody closed the hearing. <br />13 <br />14 <br />Five minute break. <br />15 <br />16 <br />Chair John Rhody summarized the project and the concerns and comments presented. <br />17 <br />18 <br />MemberKlausing noted that the project had a number of important features: does it meet a <br />19 <br />need of the community for senior affordable housing; does it fulfill a mission of the <br />20 <br />Church; how does it physically or visually impact the park; is there a financial impact; <br />21 <br />what rights does the Church have as the land owner; where were the drawings illustrating <br />22 <br />the view from the park; senior housing near the park may be a community asset. He said <br />23 <br />he was not prepared to say yes/no at this time. <br />24 <br />25 <br />MemberMulder asked if the Planning Commission could request the Council to send back <br />26 <br />the final plan for review and comment by the Commission. Is the concept good or bad to <br />27 <br />change the Comprehensive Plan; what are the details of the project that the Commission <br />28 <br />should be concerned with? <br />29 <br />30 <br />Member Cunningham asked if this should be reviewed as spot rezoning. He asked if the <br />31 <br />City had a map with R-1 property adjacent to other amenities in the community. What is <br />32 <br />the precedent? Other areas should be reviewed. <br />33 <br />34 <br />MemberWilke said he supported a senior building concept adjacent to the church and <br />35 <br />park. He reviewed the Park Commission remarks. He evaluated Rosewood Estates. Sight <br />36 <br />lines (from the developer) would be beneficial. Could the church and park work out <br />37 <br />shared parking arrangements? He also cited Eagle Crest as a good project. <br />38 <br />39 <br />MemberMulder noted that he has worked on the Metro Council Blue Print and the <br />40 <br />Citizen’s League changes in aging and seniors. The population change and need for life <br />41 <br />cycle housing has added more steps/choices in the housing. What is the vision and <br />42 <br />mission of the community?Seniors are a community asset. This debate should move <br />43 <br />forward. <br />44 <br />45 <br />Motion #1 <br />: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Wilke, to recommend approval <br />46 <br />of the request for an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan to change the future <br />47 <br />land use designation of both parcels to High Density Residential and approval of the <br />48 <br />concept development plan for a mixed use planned unit development including the existing <br />49 <br />Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, a 56-unit three-story senior housing building, and an off- <br />50 <br />street parking area, based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1, and <br />51 <br />52 <br />further, recommend that after Council action, if it is approved, the Final Plan be referred <br />53 <br />back to the Planning Commission, at which time Prince of Peace will provide site lines and <br />54 <br />final plat details. The Planning Commission would then provide further input and a <br />55 <br />second recommendation to the City Council. <br />56 <br />Page7 of 12 <br />
