table of consideration until traffic study was done. Pastor Rick Carlson, Roseville Covenant Church, expressed concern with the appropriate development of the Center and refurbishing the complex. He advised the Church did not receive notice of this meeting and asked that the process be slowed down to enable further consideration of this type of use at Hamline Center. There being no further public comment, Chair Klausing closed the hearing. The Planning Commission discussed continuing consideration of the conditional use permit to their October meeting. Mr. Wratkowski advised of impact on the charitable gambling operations if this was done (need to move by 11.15.00). Motion: Member Mulder moved, second by Chair Klausing, to recommend approval of the request by Engelsma Limited Partnership LLP for a conditional use permit to operate an 11,650 s.t. bingo hall in Hamline Center, 2807 Hamline Avenue North, subject to the following project findings (Section 3 of report dated 09.13.00) and conditions (Section 4 of report dated 09.13.00), as well as the additional applicable provisions required by Ordinance 1234: Findings: 1. The City's Comprehensive Plan map designates this area for "B" (Business). The zoning of the site is "SC" (Shopping Center District). The property to the east, west and south is designated for "HR" High Density Residential; to the north the adjacent church site is a remnant "B" business designation from former business uses, that should be changed to an "I" Institutional uses designation. The Comprehensive Plan (Section 4, page 6, Site 3-2) states that in 1994 the City took action to redesignate this site for "Business" including future mixed business uses and residential uses, with a smaller neighborhood oriented center. The City's Comprehensive Plan text specifically indicates that if the Hamline Center should redevelop, it should be done as a more compatible residential and mixed use. 2. The zoning on adjacent parcels to the east, west, and south is zoned "R-3" (General Residential, 10 to 22 dwelling units per acre) and includes existing multi-family structures (a combined total of nearly 500 multi-family owner occupied condo and rental units are in the area). To the north is a "B- 1" (Limited Business) zoned site on which the Roseville Covenant Church is now located. 3. In conjunction with the application for conditional use permit approval, the following documents have been submitted and reviewed by staff in preparation of this report: a. Site and trash screening plan (08/14/00) b. Narrative (08/11/00) 4. Because of the hours of operation of the bingo hall (typically evenings) off-street parking space for current employee and patrons as well as that necessary for the bingo hall is sufficient. The charitable gaming operation proposed to have a seating capacity of 300 customers and a parking need of 120 to 150 spaces. There are over 220 off-street parking spaces at the Hamline Center and another 114 shared with the adjacent (north) office building. The hours of use of the current bingo operation have been no later than 11 :00 p.m. 5. Traffic in the area of Hamline Center will increase with the addition of the bingo hall. However, this commercial strip center was designed to accommodate a modest volume of traffic and the roadways adjacent to it are more than adequate to handle the increase traffic. Hamline Avenue has a traffic count of 6,000 vehicles per day and a design capacity of 12,000 vehicles per day. 6. Hamline Center is a pre-existing commercial area that currently does not meet certain City Codes. However, there are only a few items that are applicable to the interior renovation proposed for the bingo hall and affected by the added parking demand. Mechanical units will be replaced and must be screened per Section 1010.07 of the Roseville City Code. Because the parking lot will be used more frequently, lighting must be brought into conformance (foot-candles and downcast lighting) with Section 1010.12 of the Roseville City Code. Signage must meet the requirements of Section 1009.03 of the Roseville City Code. 7. The proposal by Kraus-Anderson has a fence screen being placed by the southeastern trash containers. This type of screen has been acceptable to the City for those businesses that do not proposed exterior modifications. Staff supports the proposed screen and will work with Krause-Anderson on an appropriate style and design. 8. The project as proposed is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 9. The proposed project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and/or general welfare. Conditions: 1. Engelsma Limited Partnership LLC successfully obtaining the only bingo license in the City of Roseville. 2. House of operation no later than 11 :00 p.m., except on Friday, Saturday, Sunday hours no later than 12:45 a.m. 3. Replaced roof top mechanical units must be screened per Section 1010.07 of the Roseville City Code. 4. Parking lot lighting must be brought into conformance (foot-candles and downcast lighting) with Section 1010.12 of the Roseville City Code. 5. Any signage for the bingo hall must meet the requirements of Section 1009.03 of the Roseville City Code. 6. City approved trash container screening. 7. The applicant comply with all applicable provisions of Ordinance 1234. Member Cunningham discussed possibility of a sunset provision for the conditional use permit; Attorney Jamnik advised the applicant would have to pursue an interim use permit, rather than conditional use permit, if this were desired. Vote on original Motion Ayes: 4, Mulder, Klausing, Wilke, Cunningham Nays: 2, Rhody, Olson Motion prevails. Chair Klausing advised this recommendation would be before the City Council on September 25, 2000 ------ Chair called a 5-minute recess -----
