5.2 In 1969 the Village adopted an amended version of the Comprehensive Plan which document created the existing Planning District Neighborhoods; provided the identification of three "shopping centers" within the Village (Larpenteur Avenue at Lexington Avenue, Har Mar Mall/Target, and Rosedale); and designated the Target site and the parcels to the west and the parcel north of Commerce Street as Shopping Center and the parcel east of Pascal Street as Limited Business. 53 In 1979 the City of Roseville adopted a Comprehensive Plan that included goals and policies for commercial uses and continued to identify the area north of County Road B, south of Commerce Street, west of Pascal Street and East of Snelling Avenue as Shopping Center. 5.4 The 1994 Plan, updated in 1998 and affirmed eachyear since, all designated the subject site and the four parcels in the northeast corner of Snelling Avenue and County Road B as Shopping Center. 5.5 Research has also been completed on zonin�, which review concludes that the original zoning map and ordinance for the Village of Roseville designated the area north of County Road B from Snelling Avenue to Pascal Street, north to Trunk Highway 36, as Shopping Center. Under this designation (1959) it states: "In order to provide for modern retail and service facilities of integrated design in appropriate locations, the "SC" Shopping Center District is hereby established. It is intended that development within the Shopping Center District be designed and developed as an integrated unit according to an overall plan". The zoning of these parcels remained until State Farm redeveloped their offices at 1500 Commerce Street, when the zoning of the triangular parcel north of Commerce Street, east of Snelling Avenue and south of Trunk Highway 36, was rezoned to B-1, Limited Business to be consistent with the office building. 5.6 Section 1002.02 (Definitions) defines a shopping center as: "a �a�� of four or more contieuous units combined in a sin�le, architecturallv unified buildin� containing at least 40,000 square feet of commercial gross area, located on a single site, along with on-site parlcing which is provided in direct relationship to the types and sizes of stores contained within the building" (Ordinance 958 —1984) (underlying added for emphasis by Staf�. Present Review: 5.7 In review of the historical maps and definitions on file, the City Planner is unable to determine/conclude why both the Shopping Center Comprehensive Plan land use and zoning designations have been applied to the Target site and the four separate parcels to the west (Midas, the office building, Perkins, and the car wash). They are not contiguous units, nor located in a separate structure of 40,OOOsq. ft. or larger. PF3591_RCA_091304.doc Page 3 of10
