Attachment B Paschke advised that most of the uses would be small in scale, within the 3,500 to 4,000 square foot limitation; and would not accommodate uses for major production and/or processing. Public Comments Mark Rancone, Roseville Properties As a representative of several multi-tenant and single-tenant buildings in Roseville within Regional Business District zoning designations, Mr. Rancone spoke in support of staff's recommendation for text amendments as outlined; and expressed appreciation for staff being pro-active in understanding the realities of leasing to tenants under current limited uses. As an example, Mr. Rancone noted the CPI Card Group, formerly UV Color, a tenant of Roseville Properties using that entire building that had been modestly upgraded several years ago. Other examples included two other Roseville Properties buildings located at 1975 and 1995 County Road B-2 across from the U.S. Post Office (e.g. Schneidermann's) that had been constructed in the mid-1970's, and formerly office/warehouse uses. Mr. Rancone noted that the use had now been converted by Roseville Properties to retail formats, with HOM Furniture built on the rear of that property and having frontage road and freeway access and/or visibility versus their properties running east/west to the freeway and having limited exposure that provided limited opportunities for those parcels. Mr. Rancone advised that the objective of their firm was that the buildings be allowed uses for their highest and best uses. Mr. Rancone advised that Roseville Properties was considering upgrading their two (2) buildings, including rain gardens and parking lot improvements for better storm water control, as well as fa�ade rehabilitation to entice future tenants, some of whom requested the ability to have light manufacturing uses. Before committing to making significant investments on those upgrades for those buildings, Mr. Rancone asked that the Planning Commission support staff's recommendations and approve the requests. Mr. Rancone advised that the buildings themselves had structural obsolescence that would prevent any use for heavy semi traffic; but this action would allow for more flexibility in City Code for practical application and uses over the next twenty (20) years. Mr. Rancone opined that they are not currently good sites for high retail uses in their present locations/conditions.
