I fool Planning Commission and City Council, City of Roseville, MN c/o Planning Department 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 We, the undersigned subm�it this report to you as m�em�bers of the citizen advisory com�m�ittee on the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update. We realized at the end of our last meeting that not enough time had been allowed to permit the com�m�ittee to fully explore alternatives relating to the Community Business land use description and it's application to the land use map for the Target and Har Mar areas. We also believe this may be true of the Community Mixed Use description. We understand the following proposal may not meet with the approval of all of the com�m�ittee m�em�bers. However, we believe, based on the discussion and the range of motions offered, there was a need to spend more time to resolve these issues in a way that could have been supported by more than a bare Majority if not nearly all of the m�em�bers. In an effort to finish our work in a collaborative spirit and offer a resolution of these issues based on a careful consideration of the proposal below, we offer this: 1. Target and Har Mar Land Use: The land use mapped for the Target and Har Mar areas be cFanged to Community Business. 2. Community Business Land Use Descriptioln: Delete the current description and replace it with the following: III! ■ ■ Community Business uses are com�m�ercial areas oriented towards businesses involved with the sale of goods and services generally to a local market area. Community Business areas include shopping centers and free-standing businesses. To promote access and manage traffic, com�m�unity business areas are located on streets designated as A Minor Augment or or A Minor Reliever in the Transportation Plan. Community Business areas should have a strong orientation to pedestrian and bicycle access to the area and m�ovem�ent within the area. Residential uses may be located in Community Business areas as part of mixed-use structures with allowable business uses on the ground floor. Additionally, to promote com�m�unity orientation and scale, new development or redevelopment of these areas generally should not include any building with an individual building footprint of more than 1 00,000 square feet without additional m�itigation measures including additional setback, architectural measures intended to reduce the apparent scale of the building, increased landscaping and screening from adjacent streets and other non-business uses and additional traffic m�itigation.
