Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, March 03, 2010 Page 7 304 Discussion among Commissioners and staff included an alternative to zoning code text 305 amendment to allow the proposed use, with staff clarifying that the only option for the 306 Commission at this time was to support or deny the request; using the PUD or 307 Conditional Use approval process under the current zoning ordinance, requiring the 308 request to return to the Commission as a new application providing for few additional 309 advantages; the need for future discussions on appropriate sites for institutional uses or 310 modifications to the existing Regional Business land use category in the Comprehensive 311 Plan to support those uses; and revising the zoning chart if the use is allowed, indicating 312 that a church would be a permitted use with additional review needed to determine 313 negative impacts beyond those already analyzed. 314 AMENDMENT TO MOTION 315 Boerigter moved, Gisselquist seconded, modification of the motion to read that 316 churches are a permitted use (not a conditional use) in General Business Districts. 317 Further discussion included clarification that the Planning Commission’s decisions 318 needed to be based on land use considerations only; and that the City Council could be 319 tasked with whether the decision significantly impacted revenue generation of this site. 320 ORIGINAL MOTION AS AMENDED 321 Ayes: 4 322 Nays: 0 323 Motion carried. 324 Chair Doherty noted that the case was scheduled to be heard by the City Council at their 325 March 22, 2010 meeting. 326 Recess: Chair Doherty recessed the meeting at approximately 8:34 p.m., reconvening at 327 8:44 p.m. 328 6) Other Business 329 a) Review of Imagine Roseville 2025 Priorities 330 Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon advised that the City Council was in 331 the process of setting priorities as part of the 2011 City Budget process; and was seeking 332 a review and ranking by all City Advisory Commissions on the action steps generated 333 from the Imagine Roseville 2025 Community visioning process. Mr. Trudgeon noted that 334 their were four (4) categories to indicate the current status of the original strategies and 335 action steps, including “done,” “ongoing,” “in process,” and “not yet,” detailed in 336 Attachment E to the staff report dated March 3, 2010. 337 Mr. Trudgeon reviewed the previously identified action steps that related to the Planning 338 Commission; challenges in some areas based on budget constraints. 339 Mr. Trudgeon reviewed each of the categories, seeking feedback from Commissioners, 340 with that feedback to be presented to the City Council to assist in their budget 341 deliberations. 342 Discussion included clarifying the creation of Special Assessment Districts to fund 343 aesthetic and/ or infrastructure improvements for benefitting properties versus City-wide 344 Surcharges being considered as part of the undergrounding of utilities along the Rice 345 Street Corridor. 346 A majority of the Commissioners spoke in support of undergrounding utilities along the 347 Rice Street Corridor as a great aesthetic benefit to the entire community. 348 Chair Doherty questioned the intent of Strategy A.2.A.5 in supporting businesses that 349 serve Roseville’s diverse population; questioning if quality of those businesses being 350 supported was another consideration; with the overall goal to recognize diversity in the 351 community. 352 Commissioner Boerigter concurred with the lack of clarity in encouraging business with 353 family-sustainable jobs, and whether that indicated office rather than retail jobs.
