STAFF REPORT To: Planning Commission From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant Date: July 20, 1999 Subject: 99 - 08 Mendota Homes, 3261 Old Highway 8: Conditional Use Permit; Preliminary Plat; Final Plat;Rear Yard Variance. BACKGROUND In December 1997, Erin Mathern of Mendota Homes presented a request to the Planning Commission to rezone a vacant property located at 3621 Old Highway from industrial to R-4 in order to complete a multi-family housing project that is on adjacent property in Roseville. The City of Roseville had approved this project at the time of the initial rezoning request by Mendota Homes. The City of St. Anthony then approved the rezoning of the portion of the lot that is located in St. Anthony. Ms. Mathern notified Staff in May of this year that the scope of the project had changed. As the result of a feasibility study that Mendota Homes had done, the company decided to construct single-level twin homes rather than a senior apartment complex that was originally planned. Because of this change, Mendota Homes is proposing to build two town homes on the St. Anthony site that was originally planned as parking and open space. Staff informed Ms. Mathern that, in order to do this project, she would need to either rezone the property onobtain a-conditional use permit. -Because-an R-3 use--is:a permitted as-a-conditional use in an R-4 zoning district (1630.03 (3), p. 16-20 and 1625.03 (c), p. 16-19), it was decided to submit a request for a conditional use permit. In addition to the conditional use permit, Staff also indicated to Ms. Mathern that Mendota Homes would also need to replat the lot to accommodate the two proposed town home lots and a 37-foot variance to the rear yard setback requirement. Ms. Mathern, as a representative for Mendota Homes, attended a concept review of their proposed project at the July 20'Planning Commission. She has also been before the City of Roseville and has received approval for this project as proposed for the Roseville property. ANALYSIS According to the City's Zoning Ordinance, a conditional use proposal must be specifically listed for the district in which the property is located; the use must not be determined to be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing in or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and the use will provide a service or a facility
