. . and intensification of land use is expected within the next ten years which could once . again produce as much as 500,000 square feet of additional office use. It is Roseville's opinion that a large number of the users of these land areas will use County Road B2 to arrive or leave their destinations. The city is applying its development and tax increment capabilities to encourage this general development of the area and to encourage linking between the Rosedale section and the land west of 1-35W. The changes anticipated for Fairview Aveooe near Rosedale are quite similar as to what is expected for County Road B2 near Rosedale. Many of the previously described land use changes will have the same if not greater impact on Fairview Aveooe as they do on County Road B2. The interchange with T.H. 36 at Fairview Avenue will provide access to much of the new development. In -addition to this, however, Roseville anticipates significant changes in the future for the area near County Road C and Fairview Aveooe. The special study commissioned by the city mentioned earlier also indicates that the County Road C area on both sides of Fairview Avenue will be changing in the next ten years to a much more intensive use than at present. The trucking and warehousing operations located there are expected to evolve into commercial enterprises. As examples of this, a 150,000 square foot itlopping center has been approved for County Road C near Snelling Avenue and a 100,000 square foot commercial building has been approved for County Road C near Cleveland Avenue. These types of intensive redevelopments are in keeping with what is expected for the future.
