Chair Duncan opened the hearing and requested Community Development Director Dennis Welsch provide a summary of the report dated January 8, 2003. Dennis Welsch indicated that each year in November through January the Roseville Planning Commission and City Council affirm the Comprehensive Plan changes that have occurred during the previous year. During the year, specific public hearings are held on all plan changes before the Commission and Council approve them. Most amendments are then sent to the Metropolitan Council for their review (if they have not been sent earlier). This year the Planning Commission's public hearing on the changes that have occurred during 2002 began on November 7,2002, continued to the December 4,2002 meeting, and concluded with the hearing at this meeting (January 8, 2003). Welsch reviewed the changes for the year, noting that in addition to the amendments during the year, in 2002 the staff primarily spent time on updating census materials and maps. He summarized the amendments and updates to Sections 1 through 12 of the Comprehensive Plan as well as the Capital Improvement Plan. The Community Development Staff recommended approving the Plan and Council adoption of the 2002 revisions to the Comprehensive Plan. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Peper, to recommend approval and adoption of the 2002 revisions to the Comprehensive Plan. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, seconded by Member Traynor, to recommend to Council that the Planning Commission finds the 2003 Capital Improvement Program to be consistent with the 2002 Comprehensive Plan and thereby recommends adoption. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 7. Information, Reports & Other Business a. B-1-B Text Amendment Discussion Thomas Paschke provided an overview of zoning district B-1 B (Limited Retail) wherein restaurants create a problem in text and non-conforming classification. A restaurant can be over 5,000 s.f. in area. There are very few restaurants that can make up 5,000 s.f. in area. He explained that a text amendment to the Code could resolve these issues. Thomas Paschke explained the timing for clarifying this section of the Code. Member Traynor said B-1 B zoning restaurants are non-conforming and the definition of restaurants should be updated throughout the City. Thomas Paschke explained the procedure to modify the Code, and could be before the Planning Commission in February or March.
