Attachment D �5: Commissioner Boerigter noted that, once the zoning code was rewritten, and unless there was a run of �5: church use applications between now and that rewrite, the B-3 District would no longer exist so the 15� problem would not exist. 155 Commissioner Gisselquist concurred with Commissioner Boerigter; observing that the Comprehensive �5F Plan provided no guidance for church uses; and that if you were "grandfathered in" you were fine, but if 157 not, there were limited options available. Commissioner Gisselquist opined that he was not supportive �5� of spot zoning, and he personally didn't like to contribute to something that could be perceived as such; 15� however he noted that the Commission was attempting to make do with the zoning currently in place. �6o Commissioner Gisselquist noted that his initial reaction when reviewing the proposal had been that this �6� seemed to be an overly broad solution to a unique situation; however, when listening to the rationale of �62 Commissioner Boerigter, he concurred with his comments. Commissioner Gisselquist noted that newer 163 churches were beyond the smaller neighborhood, traditional churches, with a multitude of different 164 service options; and opined that this may be an appropriate location for a church of this size. �65 Commissioner Wozniak noted that when he first saw the proposal, his reaction had been negative, �6F given the location next to a car dealership that appeared inappropriate; however, he noted the parallels 16; between a regional business and regional church use such as this; and opined that he was persuaded �6� by the arguments of the City's Imagine Roseville 2025 community vision. Commissioner Wozniak �6y opined that this is not the right site for a church due to its isolation; and concurred with staff that a ��c location in the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area would be more appropriate. �� Commissioner Boerigter recognized staff's recommendation, noting that he seldom criticized their ��: rationale; however, he questioned whether the bottom line was that this site was seen as more valuable ��: for a tax revenue-generating use than the church us. 174 Commissioner Wozniak opined that he would prefer to remove the tax issue from consideration, and �� focus on land use only; further opining that he was persuaded by the arguments that tax revenues were ��E equitable on one side of I-35 or the other; but continued to oppose the proposed location due to its ��; isolation and inappropriateness with adjacent business uses. �� MOTION �� Member Boerigter moved, seconded by Member Gisselquist to RECOMMEND TO THE CITY �8� COUNCIL APPROVAL of the proposed ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT for Twin City Chinese �8� Christian Church to allow churches as a permitted use in the General Business District. �82 Commissioner Wozniak sought clarification from staff on the ramifications of the proposed action. �as City Planner Thomas Paschke advised that staff would take action for approval into consideration as it �8� proceeded with the zoning code rewrite and whether this as a permitted use under the B-3 Zoning �8� District, if ultimately approved by the City Council and whether additional parameters should be created �8E to allow churches in the future in regional business districts or whether to rezone this site as a different �8; zoning distinction through clarifying textual information under that land use designation. �8� Discussion among Commissioners and staff included an alternative to zoning code text amendment to �89 allow the proposed use, with staff clarifying that the only option for the Commission at this time was to �90 support or deny the request; using the PUD process or an amendment to the existing Conditional Use �9� under the current zoning ordinance, requiring the request to return to the Commission as a new 19: application providing for few additional advantages; the need for future discussions on appropriate sites �9: for institutional uses or modifications to the existing regional business zone to support those uses; and 194 revising the zoning chart if the use is allowed, indicating that a church would be a permitted use with 195 additional review needed to determine negative impacts beyond those already analyzed. 196 AMENDMENT TO MOTION 19� Boerigter moved, Gisselquist seconded, modification of the motion to read that churches are a �9s permitted use in General Business Districts, with no need for a Conditional Use Permit.
