Our properties range form the Post Office to Schneiderman's Plaza and. Petco Center to Roseville Business Commons and. four parcels in the Twin Lakes area. We have been monitoring the work of the now completed. Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee and. their recommendations for the Comp Plan update. One of the areas of our concern surrounded. the past and. future practices of automatically attaching Master Plans to the Comp Plan, which would. trigger a 4 vote super mqjority requirement at the City Council. We concur with the mqjority opinion of the Committee that past attached. plans should. be unattached., and. that future Master Plans will not be automatically attached., and. hope you. affirm that decision. We have all, unfortunately, witnessed. the wasted. time and. expense of landowners and. taxpayers that the current process has resulted. in. As we reviewed. the proposed. new land. u.se designations for our parcels throughout the City, we question as to why our parcels (and. others) along Cleveland. Avenue and. County C would. not be designated. as "Regional Business" parcels. These parcels more clearly fit the Regional Business definition as explained. in the proposed. Land. Use draft rather than the "Community Mixed. Use" designation. There are two office/warehou.se buildings existing, and. current proposals for a "Park and. Ride" and. hotel on adjacent parcels to ours — all clearly regional in planned. u.se. While it may be appropriate for some of the interior parcels of the area around. Langton Lake and. Fairview to be designated. CMU, we are requesting that the Planning Commission recommend. a re-designation of all the perimeter parcels that abut Cleveland. between County Road. C and. at least C2, as well as those along County Road. C from Cleveland. to Prior as Regional Business. Regional UEM161
