ENVIRONMENTAL <br />VISI�N <br />Roseville shall be a community which has as its highest priority <br />the quality af life----both f�r those who live here and for those <br />who work here. Roseville shall be committed to preserve, promote, <br />and improve the beauty, vitality, safety, and serenity of the <br />tfltal environment in which its citizens live and work. Further <br />development of business and industry, shopping, transportation, <br />housing, entertainment, leisure and recreation opportunities shall <br />be in harmony with the commitment RosEVille has made to its <br />environment and quality of life. <br />GOALS <br />To postpone, unti� such time that the new Comprehensive <br />Plan is in place, all developmental projects that <br />- Requir� a zoning change from Residential; or, <br />- Diminish the amount of wetlands, woodlands, or <br />undisturbed areas; or, <br />- Make alterations to established drainage patterns which <br />are deleterious to existing lakes, ponds, or wetlands; <br />or, <br />- Destroy substantial quantities of valuable trees; or, <br />- Produce a sustained increase in the ambient noise level, <br />or, <br />- Require a zoning change on land that is now open space. <br />It is assumed that the update of the Comprehensive Plan will <br />include strict standards and criteria for the preservation and <br />betterment of the environment of Roseville. <br />The purpose of the above is to assure that adverse long- <br />lasting environmental changes do not occur duxing the time <br />when the Comprehensive Plan is being revised. It is not meant <br />to stop development. The Environmental Issues Committee is <br />not antidevelopment. We do support postpon�.ng projects that <br />may produce long-iasting ill effects on the environment until <br />they can be more fully evaluated in the light of a more <br />forward looking Comprehensive Plan. <br />
