3.0 STAFF COMMENTS In reviewing this item, staff has the following comments: 31 The City's Comprehensive Plan map designates this area for "B" (Business). The zoning of the site is "SC" (Shopping Center District). The property to the east, west and south is designated for "HR" High Density Residential; to the north the adjacent church site is a remnant "B" business designation from former business uses, that should be changed to an "I" Institutional uses designation. 3.2 The Comprehensive Plan (Section 4, page 6, Site 3-2) states that in 1994 the City took action to redesignate this site for "Business" including future mixed business uses and residential uses, with a smaller neighborhood oriented center. 3.3 The City's Comprehensive Plan te�t specifically indicates that if the Hamline Center should redevelop, it should be done as a more compatible residential and mixed use. The use being proposed is not a redevelopment activity, but rather a permitted conditional use filling a vacant section of the mall. 3.4 The zoning on adjacent parcels to the east, west, and south is zoned "R-3" (General Residential, 10 to 22 dwelling units per acre) and includes existing multi-family structures (a combined total of nearly 500 multi-family owner occupied condo and rental units are in the area). To the north is a`B-1" (Limited Business) zoned site on which the Roseville Covenant Church is now located. 3.5 In conjunction with the application for conditional use permit approval, the following documents have been submitted and reviewed by staff in preparation of this report: a. Site and trash screening plan (08/14100) b. Narrative(08/11/00) 3.6 Because of the hours of operation of the bingo hall (typically evenings) off-street parking space for current employee and patrons as well as that necessary for the bingo hall is sufficient. The charitable gaming operation propose to have a maximum seating capacity of 300 customers and a parking need of 120 to 150 spaces. There are over 220 off-street parking spaces at the Hamline Center and another 114 shared with the adjacent (north) office building. 3.7 The hours of use are proposed to be: Monday from 7: 15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.; Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Wednesday from 12:30 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.; Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 10:�45 p.m.; Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 12:45 a.m.; Saturday from 1:30 p.m. to 12:45 a.m.; and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. The use of the space as a bingo hall past 10:00 p.m. triggers the heightened 24-hour use requirements. Specifically, parking lot screening from adjacent residential uses and parking lot lighting from adjacent residential uses are required. PF3251 RCA (092500) Page 3 of 7
