REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br />D A T E: 04/24/00 <br />ITEM NO: J-2 <br />ApprovaL• ManagerAbproved: Agenda Section: <br />Q�1 2- ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS <br />Item�escription: City of Roseville request consideration and FIRST READING of an amendment <br />to Section 1007.0 lE (Building Height) of the Industrial District. (PF3201) <br />1.0 BACKGROUND <br />l.l Over the past few months the city has been approached by potential developers who are <br />interested in constructing laboratory, warehouse, and office facilities in industrially zones land. <br />In one such case, Horton, Inc. has purchased property off of Walnut Street for the purpose of <br />constructing their testing and corporate headquarters. The long-range plan for the proposed <br />Horton facility is to construct a four-story office, with a laboratory and warehouse testing <br />facility. <br />12 Section 1007.O1E limits structures in the industrial' district to a height of 45 feet. In the past <br />staff has interpreted the height to allow a structure of four stories. However, 45 feet is <br />generally too short for a four-story office structure using today's construction methods. <br />1.3 Staff has reviewed this code section and suggests clarifying the height limitation to allow <br />industrial uses/structures to a height of 45 feet, while allowing office structures to a height of <br />four stories. This would afford industrial companies the opportunity to have regional or <br />corporate office connected to research and design facilities. <br />2.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />2.1 Staff supports the proposed amendments to the City Code. <br />2.2 Staff recommended the Planning Commission and City Council consider the proposed <br />amendment (ordinance attached) to Section 1007.0 1 E, Building Height. <br />2.3 Staff would support a modification to this section of the ordinance that offers a conditional use <br />permit to those interested in more than four stories. Should the Council be so inclined to <br />consider the change, staff will provide background for discussion. <br />3.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br />31 On Wednesday, Apri112, 2000, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing <br />regarding the requested ordinance modification. The Commission discussed the difference <br />between a story limitation versus a height limitation and recommended (7-0) to amend Section <br />1007.07E Building Height as follows: <br />PF3201 - RCA (04/24/00) - Page 1 of 2 <br />
