Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 16, 2013 Page 20 sists of a restaurant or small store on the first floor and housing above it. Coun- cilmember McGehee further opined that she didn't want warehouse distribution with trucks coming and going, but preferred a use where something was actually made. Councilmember McGehee stated that she wanted something that provided good jobs above and beyond the current level of wages offered in Roseville. Mayor Roe corrected that perception by referencing the CMU designated land use category, as included as one of the bench handouts. Mayor Roe further stated that the CMU does not currently allow for a high production use. Mayor Roe referenced Use Tables, some that were included in the packet materi- als for the CMU District; noting that artisan or catering uses were currently al- lowed in Industrial Districts, but neither was on the list of permitted uses for CMU or Commercial Districts.

Mr. Trudgeon noted that while staff understood there may be specific things not preferred in other districts (e.g. asphalt plant), it was necessary to understand that the challenge was the size and impact of a permitted use. Mayor Roe noted that further discussion was necessary in the area west of the Byerly's strip mall, agreeing with Councilmember Willmus that a large format re- tailer would not work in that area; while the City found that it would work at County Road C and Cleveland Avenue given the easy access to major highways. Mayor Roe suggested that perhaps the CMU-2 guidance was to not include large impact retail; however, he noted that it needed to be clearly defined and would
