REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 0 1 /24/00 ITEM NO: z - 3 Approved: Agenda Section: �� LAND USE Ite4n Description: City of Roseville request for City Code interpretation. 1.0 BACKGROUND l.l The Roseville staff is charged with administering the City Code. Part of this administration includes the interpretation of many section requirements. In the event our interpretation is challenged, a request is made to the City Council for a final determination regarding proper administration of the City Code. 2.0 REVIEW of REQUEST , 2.1 Mark Battis, Adrian Keller, and other residents adjacent to the eastern edge of Har Mar Ma11 have challenged the staff interpretation of Section 1006.02.C, Lot Coverage, of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance. 2.2 Section 1006A2.C. states: Not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot area shall be occupied by buildings. 2.3 Staff interprets (underlining) Section 1006.02.C. of the City Code as follows: Lot Coverage: Not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the shopping center master planned lot area sha11 be occupied by the commercial building footprint which includes area within the exterior walls of all commercial buildings. The "Master Planned" lot area includes the main structure, all outlots, non-buildable pond, landscaping, setback, and buffer areas; all r�'mciple commercial structures or accessory structures; and accessory parking and parking structures within the legal description(s) of the site. The lot area must be defined within a boundarv survev combleted bv a state re�istered land survevor. The boundarv survev must also mclude the square toota�e of all buildm� tootprints and the lot area m 2.4 Staff has used this interpretation for a number of years as a measure of consistency throughout the Shopping Center District. 3.0 REVIEW of ISSUE 3.1 The challenge has to do with what land area is used to determine whether a site conforms to the 25% lot coverage requirement. Staff requires submittal by a Registered Land Surveyor of a boundary survey of the legal description to verify lot coverage. A boundary survey does not illustrate easements, excepticns, or road right-of-way dedications. It is the legal description of record for a given parcel.
