Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. Trudgem recently talked to H�ar Mar Mall property owners and they stated that they woulld prefer to be designated as Regional Business. Johnsm asked if the proposal to designate H�ar Mar Mall and Target as Com�m�uln�ity Business rather than Regional Business woulld be analogous to a down�zon�in�g. He sulggested that the City's attorney may need to review this issule. Pulst asked aboult other aspects of the definition, in�cluldin�g what existing Roseville shopping canters are less than 100,000 sq ft and whether a shopping canter is defined in the Comp Plan. Shwiff sulggested that establishing a size limitatim is contradictory to Target being a Com�m�uln�ity Business. Grefen�berg expressed his opposition to moving away from the Com�m�uln�ity Business designation for H�ar Mar Mall and the Target store, emphasizing the need to distin�gulish between H�ar Mar Mall and Rosedale Mall. Bakemm sulggested that the City sh�oulld look at the size of the property rather than the size of the building. She also sulggested that Target and H�ar Mar Mall are regional businesses dune to their location on a major road. Fifield stated that there seemed to be a lack of consensus on both the Com�m�uln�ity Business definition and the appropriate designation for H�ar Mar Mall and the Target store. Bakemm made a motion that the Com�m�uln�ity Business definitim sh�oulld in�clulde a lot area limitation (similar to the lot area of the Larpenteur/Lexingtm retail area) in li ul of the bulildin�g area limitations. Pulst seconded the motion. IhIm qulestion�ed the integrity of the process in changing the direction at this time with�oult more research. Bakem�an�'s motion was putt to a vote. Vote: 6 yes,, 7 no. Motion failed. Therefore the definition of the Community Business land use category was not changed. Johnsm made a motion to strike the 100, 000 sq ft limitatim on bulildin�g footprints from the definitim of Com�m�uln�ity Business. Pulst seconded the motion. IhIm arguled that this proposed change woulld essentially open ulp large areas, both Regional Business and Com�m�uln�ity Business areas, to large scale retail development. Roe expressed h�is opposition to the motim becau�se he feels th�at the 100,000 sq ft limitatim is reason�able. The 1-3i5W Corridor Coalition report defined com�m�u�n�ity business as th�ose of 50,000 tit 150,000 sq ft, so 100,000 is reason�able. Grefen�berg expressed concerns aboult taking oust the size definitim becaulse there is nothing else in the definitim to sulbstan�tially differentiate Com�m�uln�ity Business from Regional Business. He believes that the City doesn't want another Rosedale.
