<br />B. GENERAL LAND USE POLICIES <br /> <br />The City will: <br /> <br />1. Continue to be developed in accordance with a Comprehensive Plan for land <br />use, housing, transportation, and community facilities. Where possible, all <br />future development will reflect the major proposals of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Where possible, the plan will be related to plans in neighboring communities <br />and to the Metropolitan area as a whole. <br /> <br />2. Maintain a Comprehensive Plan to reflect the maximum potential of <br />undeveloped properties consistent with good planning and development <br />practices. This includes the following activities: <br /> <br />a) Review and amend the Comprehensive Plan as necessary to ensure its <br />usefulness as a practical guide to current and future development (but at a <br />minimum every 10 years); <br /> <br />b) Adhere to the Plan as closely as possible to ensure consistent development <br />policy; <br /> <br />c) Consider changes to the official zoning map based on the Plan only after <br />submission of a Commission special study or after appropriate review of a <br />specific development proposal; and <br /> <br />d) Establish time frames for accomplishing major actions identified in the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />3. Emphasize quality design, innovative solutions, environmental protection and <br />aesthetic appeal in community development through the adoption and use of <br />site design standards and other appropriate criteria. <br /> <br />4. Create adequate transitions and buffering between incompatible land uses by <br />strengthening or establishing standards in the zoning ordinance. <br /> <br />5. Plan for balanced land use development of the community to maintain and <br />improve Roseville's image as an attractive place in which to live, work, and play. <br /> <br />6. Encourage quality business and industrial development where such business <br />and industry contributes to the high social, economic, and aesthetic level ofthe <br />community. <br /> <br />7. Encourage the use of energy saving devices and energy efficient buildings and <br />construction techniques. <br /> <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Update <br /> <br />Goals and Policies - Page 4 of 20 <br />
