r r Buffer Plan was approved. A series of pre-planning commission meetings were held and a presentation made to the Planning Commission at a public hearing on July 10, 1996. Eventually, the City Council will also hold a hearing on the plan amendment and the Metropolitan Council will be asked to review the plan as consistent with the metro systems plans. Development Summary: The area under consideration involves the industrial area on the south side of County Road C between Snelling Curve on the west and the commercial development in the southwest comer of Hamline Avenue and County Road C. It is designated for industrial uses in the City's Land-Use Guide Plan and is zoned I-I, light industrial. Uses in the area have been in existence for some time and contain a number of users with a number of "pre-existing conditions" that do not meet current zoning standards. Along a portion of the south property line of the industrial district, a IS-foot wide vegetated screening area was established in the early 70's. A mature stand of pines exist in this area although through aging and damage some openings exist in this screening strategy. On the north side of this property line, a number of the industrial users have outside storage as a integral part of their business operations. To the south are the rear yards of the single-family neighborhood fronting on Rose Place. Comprehensive Plan Vision: The City's Comprehensive Land-Use Guide Plan contains the vision, goals, and policies of the citizens ofRoseville as they relate to the social, economic, and physical development of the City. The vision and goals are general objectives applying to the entire community. The policies in the Comprehensive Land-Use Guide Plans are the action steps the City will follow to complete the stated goals. When considering the County Road C - Rose Place study area, a number of goals and policies apply. The vision provides general direction: "Roseville shall be a community which has as its highest priority the quality of life--both for those who live here and those who work here. Roseville shall be committed to preserve, promote, and improve the beauty, vitality, safety, and serenity of the total environment in which its citizens live and work. Further development of business and industry, shopping, transportation, housing, entertainment, leisure and recreational opportunities shall be harmony with the commitment Roseville has made to its environment and quality of life" (page Goals-3, Roseville Comprehensive Plan 1994).
