Deleo expressed residents concern noting that that when the proposed zoning Rosevi designations llthey would are i be of little with bene fit to come e, impressed 466 community, as well established, and opined that the proposed zoning changes, if for the sake of 467 progress, would cause a loss of integrity within neighborhoods, and increase traffic. Ms. Deleo 468 expressed interest in further review of regulations directly affecting property owners and 469 neighborhoods, and the hesitancy in agreeing to those items not currently on the table. 470 Commissioners reminded the audience that residential design standards were the next topic on 471 tonight's agenda; with staff providing additional copies of the materials made available to those 472 attending for their review. 473 Loren Schwie, 1383 Ryan Avenue W 474 Mr. Schwie reviewed the history of the Har Mar parcel, when it went from a driving range to a 475 shopping center, and residential zoning of the southern parcels to provide assurance to adjacent 476 residential property owners. Mr. Schwie further reviewed the redevelopment for the Cub Food 477 Store approximately ten (10) years ago, and that residential zoning designation allowing the 478 proposed facility to be scaled back to its current status. Mr. Schwie requested that the zoning 479 designation remain as it is, opining that there was too much property in Roseville being lost to 480 shopping centers. 481 At the request of Commissioners, Mr. Paschke again provided the history of the parcel since 482 1979, when Har Mar Mall was guided for Shopping Center zoning designation as guided by the 483 previous Comprehensive Plan; with the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee having spent 411 484 considerable time on the appropriate designation for the Har Mar Mall as well as the Target 485 development, whether designation as Community Business or Regional Business was more 486 appropriate, with the majority making recommendation that Har Mar be designated Community 487 Business. 488 Mr. Schwie alleged that this request was being driven by Har Mar Mall; and opined that the 489 southern parcels were currently zoned R -1. 490 Mr. Paschke assured Mr. Schwie that this rezoning process was entirely city- initiated, and that the 491 City was not seeking to intensify the area; and clarified that the Har Mar property had been 492 guided "Shopping Center" since 1979, and noted that the reason Cub had to abide by its footprint 493 was due to City not being willing to move a public easement to allow expansion. 494 Mr. Schwie encouraged the Commission to hear the tone of those neighbors in attendance, and 495 was not convinced by staff comments. 496 Chair Doherty appeared that this was a common issue with people desiring to control what was 497 done with a particular adjacent property not owned by them. 498 Ron Draganowski, 1391 Shryer Avenue W 499 Mr. Draganowski questioned whether Community Business designation could support multi 500 family housing above a business, such as development of apartments south of Har Mar Mall.
