improvement discussion that impacts these major roads. The Public Works Department believes that it is important to determine what impacts our land use decision will have on the surrounding road system. As part of this discussion, Staff to will work with both the County and State to review the traffic impacts and mitigation measures. Staff has also requested SEH develop short-term and long-term mitigation measures for the Rosedale Center area to provide adequate traffic operations both with (Build) and without (No Build) the proposed Rosedale Center expansion. Staff has also provided the model and report to Ramsey County and Mn/DOT for their review and analysis. A meeting with the City, County, State and Rosedale to discuss what impacts the proposal has on the surrounding street system and to identify additional short-term and long term mitigation measures has been arranged for Friday, December 17 and staff will provide additional information regarding traffic at the Council meeting on Monday. PARHING: 6.10 Rosedale currently has 5,958 on-site parking spaces and the proposal will reduce parking by 381 to 5,577. However, at the printing of this report the City Planner and applicant had not verified the number of parking spaces required at Rosedale Center by the City Code. The theater proposal is different than retail parking in that it requires 1 space per three seats. It also requires unique traffic roadway management and capacities because of the "surging" by theater traffic at peak time movie showings. 6.11 Jones Lang LaSalle has indicated an interest in reducing the City Code requirement of 5 spaces/1,000 sq. ft. of gross leasable floor area to 4.5 spaces/1,000 sq. ft. of gross leasable floor area to be consistent with the current industry standard. Theaters by Code require 1 space for ever 3 seats. 6.12 The DRC has also indicated a concern with what happens to the transit hub and park-and- ride with this proposal and a need for both to remain and be incorporated into the Mall. Metro Transit has federal grant funds available that would allow the construction of a 500 space non-exclusive use parking ramp at Rosedale Center. 6.13 Current parking at Rosedale is adequate for the majority of the year. However there has not been a code compliance review completed by staff to determine the exact number of required stalls. Similarly, there has not been a determination on whether a j oint parking facility (Section 1018.10) is appropriate or supported under the City Code for Rosedale, the transit hublpark-and-ride, and the proposed theater. 6.14 Section 1018.12 allows for proof of parking as a component of a Planned Unit development. Proof of parking is an agreement that describes the required parking and reasons for reducing the pazking requirement and well as demonstrating that space exists to comply with the most current provisions of the City Code 6.15 Since the Planning Commission meeting of December 1, the City Planner has determined that in-line stores at Rosedale Shopping Center (less all anchor spaces and the proposal) requires 1,630 on site spaces.
