Chairman Jim Mulder reminded the Planning Commission members that a special tour was taken by five members on November 18. He then opened the public hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the project report and staff recommendations dated December 1,2004. Mr. Paschke explained the notification process for the hearing and advised the members that 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. Paschke provide background: 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. Rosedale, as a 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 only development on the former Mervyn's land within the mall "super block". Rosedale Center has a ComprehensiveLand 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 proposal is considered a major modification to the established (January 1, 2000) Planned Unit Developmentrequiring an approved amendment. He explained that the mall has over 1.2 million sq. ft. of building area. The large renovation and addition shown in the map and elevation format to the mall (about a 10% increase and a 10% renovation) will also require substantial site improvements including the following: ■ The road entry at Crossroads/Penney's and County Road B2 will be modified within the Rosedale site to include a new island at the access and relocated/reconstructed ring road as it travels east. The road entry from the Snelling Avenue off-ramp (eastern most entry) and County Road B2 will be modified to include a new island at the access point and a PF3608_RCA_GeneralConcept_122004 Page 10 of 20
