The City Council further directed Planning Staff to 17 prepare a proposal that could address this concern.18 At their June 10, 2013, meeting, the Planning Division discussed with the City Council 19 amending Section 1009.07, Developer Open House Meetings, to include language to 20 support/direct such a pre-application process. The City Council had a few questions of 21 the Planning Staff and suggested a few text modifications be incorporated into the final 22 version.23 Upon review of the proposed text modification, however, the Planning Division 24 concluded that the Zoning Ordinance was not the appropriate location for a subdivision 25 requirement and instead has determined that Section 1102.01, Procedure, of the 26 Subdivision code is the appropriate location for such a requirement. 27 5.0P UBLIC C OMMENT 28 On July 10, 2013, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding 29 the proposed zoning text amendment to Section 1102.01 Procedures to create an open 30 house process for preliminary plat or divisions of land of 4 or more lots or parcels. No 31 citizens were present to address this matter, however, Commissioners did have questions 32 of staff.33 Specifically Commissioners were interested in clarifying the language that specified the 34 number of days the Developer Open House should be held prior to the Planning 35 Commission hearing. 36 Since the Commission meeting, planning staff has modified the proposal to eliminate 37 language pertaining to zoning text amendments and to insert language germane to the 38 preliminary plat and/or division of land into 4 or more lots or parcels process. 39 6.0R ECOMMENDATION 40 The Planning Commission, at their meeting of July 10, 2013, voted 6-0 to recommend 41 approval of the text amendment to Section 1102.01 of the Subdivision Ordinance to 42 create a Developer Open House process.The Planning Commission offered a few slight 43 amendments (see attachment “A” – PC minutes), which have been incorporated into the 44 draft resolution for approval.
