There were no extraordinary issues noted nor additional land use studies recommended in the development of the 1994 Comprehensive Plan and the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update pertaining to the compatibility of commercial and residential uses. . The 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update does not propose any land use changes at Har Mar Mall or adjacent properties. . The 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update does not propose amendments to the City's goals and policies. . The Comprehensive Plan refers to a major commitment to preserve the quality of life in the community, while pursuing major commercial development and employment opportunities over the next 20 years. . The 1994 Comprehensive Plan and the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update propose to concentrate retail sales in existing retail areas and to allow expansion of existing shopping centers to achieve land use, transportation, parking and aesthetic efficiencies. The proposed Cub Foods project is consistent with these policies. . Resident attitude surveys show that Roseville residents rate the quality of life extremely high.
