Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes December 16, 1997 Page 2 1 Minnesota. Ms. Mathern's rezoning petition is requesting that this parcel be rezoned to an R- 2 4 zoning designation from a Light Industrial zoning designation so that it is consistent with :3 the multi-family zoning designation of the adjacent parcel they purchased in Roseville. 4 Mendota Homes is proposing to construct a senior apartment complex on the Roseville side 5 and use the smaller St. Anthony parcel as parking and green space. Mendota Homes will be 6 going before the Roseville Planning Commission regarding this project the second week in 7 December. Ms. Mathern also informed Staff that she is planning a neighborhood meeting 8 with several residents from St. Anthony and Roseville that live in the area to discuss the 9 project. 10 Staff also contacted the City Attorney about the need to rezone this parcel because it.was 11 planned to be used as a parking lot and green space. Mr. Soth indicated that it is required to 12 be rezoned because the City's parking ordinance relating to an R-4 multi-family zoning 13 designation is different from those that pertain to Light Industrial use. He also indicated that 14 rezoning the parcel will provide that the deeds to both parcels are consistent. 15 John Mathern, Mendota Homes, reported this project includes two parcels of land.
