Written Alarratirr�: Twin City Chinese Chri�tian Church (T4C) is a vibrant, large, <br />established, regional, ethnic church that is characterized by a diverse congregation from <br />throughout the Twin Ci.tie5 metro area. T4Cs visian is to build up ti�ree interdependent <br />congregations as one church ta become Che center of discipleship and outreach to the <br />Chinese in the Twin Cities. T4C's mission is to manifest Gad's glory, experience His fove, <br />and bring hope to all. T4C is committed to continuing its 3fl-year history af reaching out <br />io families, a�d serving the needs of youth and the underprivileged in Roseville and the <br />surrounr3ing area. <br />T4C i5 the largest Chinese-American Christian church in Minnesota; and has outgrown <br />their existing facilities in Lauderdale, Minnesata. The church established site criteria far <br />a new location in 2003, and an active search was cammissioned in 2005. Due to it5 <br />centralized location in the metro area and other factors thaC satisfy the site criteria, T4C <br />is considering purchase of a farmer Denny Hecker automabile dealership located at <br />2755 Long Lake Road, Roseviile, Minnesota. <br />While "church" use is not currentiy a permitted use under the existing B-3 zoning of the <br />site, TQC`s component uses and character as a large regiona{ church are consistent with <br />the permitted use5 of that zoning district. Wit.h a regular weekly attendance of <br />appraximately 500 churchgoers, the property will generate traffic patterns similar to a <br />retail business, with the majority of traffic on e�enings and weeliends. The need for <br />regional access from throughout the �win Cities metro area, and the level af generated <br />traffic, are not conduci�e to a traditional res�cfentiaf neighborhood en�ironment. i4Cs <br />proposed use for the former Denny Hecker site i5 in harmony with the Roseville <br />Comprehensive Plan's general description of a Regional Business District (RB} site. <br />Appropriate revisions to Rase�ille's zoning code wifl permit this property ta be <br />Additio��tal Reqtiired Inf�rnlation_ Pa<,?e � of 7 <br />
