5.8 The City Planner and Community Development Director have reviewed the Comprehensive Land Use Map Amendment sought by Target Corporation and determined that the current land use designation is inappropriate for the existing and contemplated uses. 5.9 The Staff have reviewed the redevelopmentproposal by Target Corporation with respect to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and concluded that the proposed project does or will comply (upon completion) with Chapter 3_ Goals & Policies, subsectionII Community-Wide(General)'B" (General Land Use Goals), "C" General Land Use Policies, and Chapter IV (Commercial Areas) "A" (Commercial Policies). Please see Attachment A. REVIEW of PRELIMINARYPLAT: 5.10 City Code Section 1100 (subdivision of land) requires the City to review the Target new land descriptions. 5.11 In commercial areas, no specific percentage of lot coverage is required. The Rice Creek Watershed reviews business/industrial properties differently than residences within the City Code. This redevelopmentproject will require an approved storm water managementplan by the Rice Creek Watershed that addresses water run-off rate control and phosphorous removal, among other things. 512 The proposal seeks to combine seven existing parcels into two reconfigured lots; one to include the Target store and the other to include a retail/restaurant user. The Development Review Committee has reviewed the site plan and preliminary plat. There is room for an additional, similarly sized, restaurant/retail site be created directly adjacent to the private drive and Pascal Street, or a lot in the center of the parking between the private access road adjacent to Pascal Street and County Road B. However, either proposal would require a modification in the preliminaryplat if supported by Target Corporation. 5.13 The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT), Ramsey County, and the Roseville Public Works Department has studied improvements at County Road B and Snelling Avenue for many years. Recently, MNDOT has programmed funds for 2007 to reconstruct and improve this intersection. However, these improvements will have an impact on access into Har Mar Mall, Midas, the car wash and Target. They include: a. The current full access adjacent the car wash will become strictly a right turn- in/right turn-out access due to a concrete curb island constructed within County Road B to create the necessary left turn lanes (added vehicle stacking). b. An additional north bound lane will be added along the east side of Snelling Avenue from roughly the signal light/Har Mar Mall entrance to the Trunk Highway 36 entrance ramp.
