2.7.1 There is benefit to the community to partner with the Church and the Armory as part of the development of 185 N. McCarrons Blvd. to provide minimal impervious surface with shared parking arrangements, to provide new housing for the neighborhood residents and church members, to provide more community access and use of the Armory facilities and to provide joint storm water management of the parcels to maximize development and provide the best possible stormwater capacity and quality of the water runoff. 2.7.2 There is general consensus that high density development in the most appropriate reuse of the south side of 185 N. McCarrons Blvd with medium density townhomes for the north side of the site. 2.7.3 The short and long term uses in the area should be neighborhood oriented and provide public access to the ponds, McCarrons Lake, parks, trail systems and service as parcels redevelop. In addition, design standards should be developed for redevelopment of Rice Street parcels to provide quality community image and quality building materials and architectural significance. 2.7.4 The faith-based community can provide additional support for the neighborhood by hosting and encouraging additional housing assistance and social services. More formalized programs could be developed with the assistance of the Galilee Lutheran Church. 2.7.5 The City should consider the use of the Armory site for more neighborhood based community center use. In the short term, additional partnership efforts (perhaps with the Parks & Recreation Department or the Church) should be pursued for use of the site. In the future when the site is no longer needed by the National Guard, the site should be considered for purchase by the City as a community asset for the east side of Roseville. 2.8 The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the proposed three development phases on sites within the McCarrons Neighborhood Master Plan area as consistent with Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies. 3.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION: 3.1 BY MOTION, APPROVE of the McCarrons Neighborhood Master Plan amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan as consistent with the goals and polices of the Plan (Plan area attached) Report Prepared by: Dennis Welsch (651-792-7071), Cathy Bennett (651-792-7072) Attachments: McCarrons Neighborhood Master Plan with Map Attachments PF3578_RCA_072604 Page 3 of3
