ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES $TVDY GROVP Backaround Statement For decades, the development of Roseville's industrial, commercial and residential bases has be�n a primary objective. Our City has a number of major assets, including strategic location to the Twin Cities, access to major freeways, convenzent shopping areas, and some important businesses and industry. Each of these assets has a cost to our total environment, in terms of air and water quality, visual and noise pollution, traffic, crowding, crime and others, all of which affect our quality of life. To protect our quality of life, it may be necessary to introduce certain incentives in order to achieve our environmental goals. Roseville is now a mature community, with Iittle growth in prospect, or even desirable. The vision, goals and recammendations herein are offered as a first step in helping our City redefine i�self for the next century, as a superior place to live and work. It is assumed that, as an early, vital step in this process of redefinition, Roseville will commission a new Comprehensive City Plan, and that the Plan will emphasize strongly the preservation and enhancement of quality of life for its residents and workers. It is further assumed that a standing environmental monitoring and revie�cv committee will be established to advise the City of Roseville on environmental issues.
