The Roseville Planning Staff recently found what appears to be an error in the 1985-1986 original document of the City creating a new zoning designation for property located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Lexington Avenue and Garden Avenue. This may have been done because the two legal descriptions became transposed in the documents. In summary here is what happened: At 1813 Lexington Avenue, the owner requested (1985) a "B-1" Limited Business zone and a "B" designation on the City's Comprehensive Plan. The legal description for this site was: "the East 203.07 feet of the South 1 /8 of the Northeast % of the South % except the North 67 feet of the East 178 feet of the North % of the South % of Section 15, Township 29, Range 23". (commonly known as 1813 Lexington Avenue) The original hearing was held on June 5, 1985. The Council held a similar hearing on June 10, 1985. At that time the legal description was transposed to read in the ordinance as follows: "the West 125 feet of the East 328.07 feet of the South 165.04 feet of the Northeast % of the Southeast % Section 15, Township 29, Range 23, (subj to ave)". (commonly known as 1125 Garden Avenue) The second description is that of 1125 Garden Avenue, which according to city and county current records is a single family residential use, zoned for "R-1" Low Density Residential uses and shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan as "LD", Low Density Residential. Staff has discussed this with both property owners. The City can correct this error by holding a hearing on a corrective ordinance on October 2, 2002 at which time the zoning designations would be switched. The "B" Comprehensive Plan designations would be attached to 1813 Lexington Avenue, and the "LR" Comprehensive Plan designations attached to 1125 Garden Avenue. There is no cost to either property owner. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Duncan to recommend approval of Planning File 3427, a corrective ordinance, establishing 1125 Garden Avenue as R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning and a corrective resolution establishing 1125 Garden Avenue as LR (Low Density Residential) Comprehensive Plan designation. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carries. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Pepper, to recommend approval of Planning File 3427, a corrective ordinance, establishing 1813 Lexington Avenue as B-1 (Limited Business) zoning and a corrective resolution establishing 1813 Lexington Avenue as B (Business) Comprehensive Plan designation. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. e. Planning File 3459: Request by the City of Roseville to consider amended text in the B-6 Business Park District (Section 1005.07) pertaining to pre-existing non-conforming uses. Chair Duncan opened the hearing and request City Planner Thomas Paschke provide a summary of the project report dated October 2, 2002. Dennis Welsch informed the Commission that property owners, Northco Real Estate, St Paul Properties, Hagen, and Reco/Regan requested that the City Council/Planning Commission discuss the merits of either: 1) not rezoning any Twin Lakes land to B-6 until a redevelopment proposal is in hand, or 2) expanding the "pre-existing, nonconforming use" text definition and exceptions for their land uses and buildings within the proposed Twin Lakes "B-6" rezoning area. The applicants' purpose would be to allow "pre-existing, nonconforming lots, uses and structures" to expand, intensify, or change to another "nonconforming" use in order to stabilize the lease and cash flow as well as retain or expand existing and new tenants. In July 2002, the City Council requested that the Planning Commission review the case and provide further recommendations regarding the "pre-existing non conforming lots, uses and structures". Since July the applicants have been working with staff and the City Attorney to develop more explicit language dealing with the "non-
