4.O BACKGROUND � 4.1 The property at 2205 County Road C2 has a Comprehensive Plan designation of � Industrial (I) and a zoning classification of General Industrial (I-2) District. � 4.2 This coNDiT1oNAL usE proposal has been prompted by the applicant's desire to sell light- � duty cargo trailers. Despite the absence of specific recognition of trailers in Roseville's City Code, Minnesota law defines them as a type of vehicle. 5.O STAFF COMMENTS � 5.1 While trailers are not technically motor vehicles, MN Statute 169.011 subd. 86 defines � trailers as "any vehicle designed for carrying property or passengers on its own structure � and for being drawn by a motor vehicle but does not include a trailer drawn by a truck- � tractor semitrailer combination or an auxiliary aYle on a motor vehicle which carries a _ portion of the weight of the motor vehicle to which it is attached. " Sased on the _ association in State Statute between motor vehicles and trailers, Community _ Development staff has determined that it is appropriate to regulate the sales of trailers _ conforming to the above definition in the same way as the automobiles that tow them. _ 5.2 Section 1007.015 (Industrial District Uses) of the City Code allows motor vehicle sales in _ an I-2 district as a coNDiT1oNAL usE. Since the subject property is within an I-2 district, _ therefore, staff has determined that trailer sales may be allowed as a coNDiT1oNAL usE. _ 5.3 Section 1014 of the Roseville City Code allows the City Council to review uses that are _ coNDiT1oNALLY PExMiTTED in a zoning district and, in order to protect the public health, _ safety, and general welfare, may approve such a use, imposing any additional conditions � deemed necessary that are above and beyond the licensing requirements or other � operating regulations. Planning Division staff recommends that the parking/display/sales � area used for the trailer sales be required to comply with the normal parking requirements � for I-2 districts established in �1007.01 (Industrial Setbacks) which generally include: � a. Paved area with concrete curb and gutter and a 20-foot setback from the adjacent � rights-of-way lines; � b. c. Landscaping/screening within the setback that is 80% opaque and 3 feet tall; and Storm water treatment and rate control for all new parking area pavement. 6.O REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA � 6.1 Section 1014.01 (Conditional Uses) of the City Code requires the Planning Commission F and City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a coNDiT1oNAL usE F proposal: F a. Impact on traffic; F b. Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities; F c. Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffic circulation, landscaping, and F structures with contiguous properties; F d. F e. f. Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; and Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
