�-� REVIEW of PROJECT: �, ] Jones Lang LaSalle (Rosedale Center general property ownerlmall manager) has made application for General Concept approval to AMEND the PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT at Rosedale Center that would allow a 132,679 sq. ft. 2-store easterly expansion of the Mall. The expansion would be added to the east end of the former Mervyn's and include 63,679 sq. ft. of shops and restaurants and a 69,000 sq. ft., 14 screen, theater. The project also includes the remodeling of the former Mervyn's structure into additional shops, revised on-site parking, and revisions to the main drive lane (ingresslegress) from County Road B2. The new retail area would be a"Life Style" design, which has no interior mall access, only access from the parking lot, access drive. �� Based on the list of mandatory requirements that trigger an EAW and/or EIS, this project does not require such a review. EQB rules, Section 4410.4300, Subpart 14, B, require a commercial expansion proj ect which exceeds 300,000 sq. ft. to perform a mandatory EAW. EQB rules, Section 4410.4400, Subpart 11, B require a commercial expansion project which exceeds 750,000 sq. ft in size to perform a mandatoryElS. �.� The applicants have used Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines, Iowa, as an example of the structure they hope to construct (see attached article). �.� The City, Ramsey County and Rosedale are working to complete a pathway system on the south side of County Road B2 that will improve pedestrian access to the mall. This improvement should be considered a component of the transportation renovations, which is part of the Planned Unit Development. �.� PROJECT SPECIFICS: �_ ! In January 2000, the Roseville City Council amended the Shopping Center District to include more detailed site development standards, specifically 24 hour uses within 300 feet of residentially zoned properiy. In addition, as of January 1,2000, the amendment established each site and its existing site plan zoned Shopping Center District as a PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT. In 2004, the Shopping Center zone requirements were amended by ordinance � I��. This amendment redefines the floor area ratio of occupiable building to land area as 1.0. (1 square foot of building to 1 square foot of land area). It also provides for a height of 3 stories above the main entry level. The current proposal meets these requirements. �_�. Rosedale, as a regional shopping center, is broken into numerous parcels which are owned by the major anchors and by the central mall owners. The mall owners have proposed to purchase the Mervyns building and land, then the redevelopment on the former Mervyn's building and land. �_� Rosedale Center has a Comprehensive Land Use Map designation of Shopping Center (SC) and a zoning designation of Shopping Center (SC). Although most of the more detailed requirements within the SC District will apply to Rosedale expansion, the PF3608_RCA_GeneralConcept_122004 Page 2 of 20
