Special City Council Meeting Thursday, February 20,2014 Page 6 all areas based on density, noting that this was the result of discussions held most recently. While reiterating his willingness to hear from property owners, Mayor Roe clarified that this was the direction given to staff, and to label things as office or limited use would be too narrow, specifically in the area immediately adjacent to the park, single-family residences, and the freeway. Mayor Roe sought con- sensus if that was still the preference and direction to pursue. Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of that route, since the City didn't own the property. Mayor Roe noted that the City owned little land in Roseville, however, it was still able to zone it effectively. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the CMU District was wide open now; and if the Council preference was to have points of emphasis to drive development in certain areas, the idea of the subdistrict would serve that purpose. However, Mr. Trudgeon fur- ther noted that, if too many things remained permitted uses, there was no guaran- tee other things wouldn't occur. If the intent was to develop residential uses around Langton Lake Park, Mr. Trudgeon opined that the City Council needed to clearly state that; but could not have it both ways: flexible versus what it didn't want, creating a challenge to drive the properties to certain uses that make sense while not being able to guarantee is and zone appropriately. Mayor Roe opined that he wasn't sure if the intent should be to emphasize resi- dential at the exclusion of other uses rather than just to ensure those permitted us- es remained compatible with adjacent properties. Mayor Roe noted that the list of what was not desired as a permitted use created a much shorter list. Councilmember Laliberte noted the desire to manage traffic patterns and vehicle types along with certain access points as well. Councilmember McGehee suggested the need to discuss retail and revise previous definitions and recommendation of a previous City Attorney to clear up any con- fusion about the three types currently in Community Business and Regional Busi- ness Districts. Councilmember McGehee noted the 20,000 square foot delinea- tion suggested by staff got closer to that preference. Mayor Roe invited property owners to come forward. Mr. Paschke noted that property owners would speak to their particular parcels and interests versus the broader area being discussed for map focus. Public Comment Mark Rancone, Roseville Properties
