The quality of life in our residential neighborhoods is of interest to all residents, but especially those in neighborhoods where there is a more complex mix of land uses and building types. In these areas, redevelopment and change must be "context sensitive" - blending in with the existing uses and architecture. And, these issues that affect one neighborhood (or development area) usually affect many neighborhoods and community priorities. Roseville recognizes that we are linked together and consequently it is important that residents, property owners and developers create mutually acceptable solutions. The McCan'ons Neighborhood Plan (the Plan) was developed through a series of public meetings with the input of many stakeholders over a one year period beginning in 2003. Driven by the Dennis Guptil 2.64 acre site (200'x 576') at 185 McCarrons Boulevard, the Plan area was expanded to more accurately reflect and anticipate the longer term neighborhood needs and changes. The purpose of a "McCarrons Neighborhood Study" has been to engage residents, property owners, neighborhood groups, business owners and developers in formulating a future development plan for the areas surrounding the property at 185 N. McCarrons Blvd and is referred to at the "study area". Within this study area current conditions have been reviewed- neighborhood features, housing types, condition of housing, values, demography of residents, traffic and environmental conditions such as water, noise, air quality. In addition, the study reviewed future land uses for not only 185 N. McCarrons but other sites such as the Armory, commercial sites on Rice Street and other underutilized or at risk residential sites. The study "process" attempted to bring together different land owners, churches and public agencies such as the city, watershed district and school district, to partner in planning the future of the area. The study was estimated to take four months to complete and would include at least two neighborhood meetings. The end result of the study would be a comprehensive plan amendment (if needed) for the area and ultimately a development plan for 185 N. McCarrons. 2. Summary of Future Land Use Vision The Plan provides a vision for development that is flexible with the ability for implementation in a phased approach over the next 5 -20 years and is a result of reviewing the components explored during the study process. The Plan includes an estimation of the number of units of housing, types of housing, square feet of commercial uses and open space. It is anticipated that the development will not transform exactly as identified in the Plan. The Plan is a guide to future development and redevelopment. The Plan should remain flexible as to the location and intensity of development, limited only by the maximum capacities in this Plan. Each of Final Version July 26, 2004
