7.7 The building materials of the remodeled Franks structure and all new structures an/or additions, must meet Section 1010 (Design Standards) of the City Code. 8.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 8.1 Based on the information in Section 5 of the project report dated December 7, the City Planner recommends approval of the REZONING to allow the redevelopment of the 1800 Highway 36 (former Franks Nursery & Crafts). 9.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 9.1 On December 7,2005, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the Kinra.co Realty request. No citizens or property owners were present to address the Commission, but the Commission did have questions of the professional staff. 9.2 Specifically, Member Boerigter asked the City Planner how the Sports Authority site would be zoned (B-2); Chair Traynor asked why the Frank's site was initially zoned B-1 (no conclusive information — Lawn and Garden Centers are only permitted in B-1 or B-1- B zone); Member Pust asked if staff had concerns over adjacent day care use (no); Chair Traynor asked whether parking could be accommodated on the site (yes); Member Wozniak asked for details of the parking lot connections (part of original site plan approval — will be connected to allow for greater disbursement of vehicle traffic; Chair Traynor indicated a concern over the rezoning and its perceived increasing impacts due to a greater allowance of retail uses (City Planner stated that although the B-2 zone allows more flexibility in the number of permitted uses, it is uncertain whether any of those uses would have a"negative impact" on the surrounding area — specifically traffic on the roads. The City Planner indicated that the B-2 zone is more appropriate for this parcel and the area — due largely to the non-conforming zone on the Sports Authority parcel. He further indicated that whatever the uses proposed, each will need to meet the requirements of the B-2 zone for setback, parking, and other requirements of the City Code and the site must meet the storm water management requirements of the City of Roseville and the Rice Creek Watershed); Member White asked if the site issues could be resolved in advance of rezoning (City Planner indicated that there is not site plan approval required and the process requires all items to be consistent with the City Code). The City Engineer added that regardless of the proposal the development/redevelopment must meet storm water management requirements per the City Code and the Rice Creek Watershed); Member White indicated support for the bank but was concerned with the retail uses; Member Boerigter stated that the site is already retail; Member poherty stated he supported the rezoning of the site — it is a compatible zone to what is occurring in the area. 9.3 The Planning Commission voted (6-1) to recommend approval of the Rezoning from B-1, Limited Business District to B-2, Retail Business District based on the information provided in Section 5 of the project report dated December 7,2005.
