City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for October 5, 2005Page 7 of 11 existing uses would be classified as permitted within the B-6 zone; however, non-conforming uses would remain. The current proposal will not change or intensify current activities or uses. However, the addition of the Press Gym and potentially other uses consistent with the B-6 zone may increase traffic on surrounding roadways, specifically Fairview Avenue and Terrace Drive. The anticipated increase will be nominal. There is currently adequate water and sanitary sewer capacities to support current and anticipated uses within the structure. The current site encompasses 4.89 acres and has 134 parking spaces and 9 truck loading spaces. The parcel has approximately 24,000 sq. ft. of green space (11%). The building is set back 120 feet from Fairview Avenue and 30 feet from Terrace Drive, which meets or exceeds the B-6 requirement. The parking lot is set back 35 feet from Fairview Avenue and 30 feet from Terrace Drive, which also meets or exceeds the B-6 requirement. Policies. The Community Development Staff relies on the Adopted Comprehensive Plan Land Use Goals and Policies as the City Policy to conclude whether the rezoning is in the best interest of the City and found that this proposal is supported by policies including: 1.Encourage the development of a wide range of retail sales and services in the community. Concentrate these uses in existing retail/service areas. 2.Encourage the development or expansion of existing and future retail shopping centers as a means of achieving maximum efficiency of land use, adequacy of vehicular movements and parking areas, and maximum aesthetic consideration. 3.Restrict commercial development to specific areas in accord with the Comprehensive Plan and avoid strip commercial development. Restrict further commercial/industrial land expansion, encourage concentrated medium size office development in areas currently designated for such uses. 4.Cooperate with existing and potential commercial developers in creating efficient site plans with emphasis on efficient access and egress, parking areas, and landscaping. 5.Review all commercial development site plans to ensure quality design, the completion of an adequate amount of site landscaping, and beautification. 6.Direct the location and development of businesses generating significant large truck traffic to existing freeway access points and areas west of Interstate 35W. 7.Encourage industrial uses which have key commercial/retail access locations and visibility qualities to redevelop the site into commercial uses and move existing industrial uses to industrial districts. 8.Areas with a mixture of commercial and industrial uses such as between Fairview and Cleveland, north of County Road B2; should be carefully managed to encourage redevelopment to higher commercial uses (as per the 1996 Tower Place Master Plan). 9.Prohibit retail sales development within industrial districts, except in mixed use planned unit developments. Based on the information in Section 5 of the project report dated October 5, 2005, the City Planner recommended approval of a rezoning from I-2, General Industrial to PUD, Planned Unit Development with an underlying zoning of B-6) Mixed Use Business District. No action on the CUP for Press Gym is necessary--by rezoning the property to B-6, the use (fitness center) is permitted. Member Bakeman asked if the PUD will cover this just site (yes). Joe Sederski, applicant's attorney noted that the 16,000 s.f. vacant space will be leased by Press Gyms. Member Doherty asked for clarification on the original application which includes a conditional use permit request (no longer needed in a B-6 zone). http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2005/pm051005.htm12/27/2005
