Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11,2015 Page 19 value rentals and other targets identified and questioned whether those numbers had come from. Mr. Bilotta stated that staff had simply attempted to predict what a reasonable number of living-wage jobs may be in the two-year time frame for discussion purposes only. Regarding owner-occupied housing and rental value changes, Mr. Bilotta noted that these estimates were for five years, through 2020, with considerable fluctua- tion being seen at this time across the City, and staffs attempts to compare it with inflation over that same five year period, again hard to predict and depending on the numbers impacted by all units for that type of housing stock. For clarification, Mayor Roe noted that the targets would become part of the dis- cussion for anything the Council eventually adopted.-, Specific to the KOI for "SE Roseville, Councilmember McGehee congratulated staff and the working group on their efforts to-date in starting from the bottom-up to achieve a good plan for that area rather than trying to force it in one direction or another, which she found to be a new approach for Roseville. However, Coun- cilmember McGehee cautioned that the efforts of the working group not become so formalized as to become a rigid extension of City government. While supporting all of the strategic targets proposed by staff, regarding the initia- tive to "establish a Twin Lakes economic development program," Councilmember McGehee expressed her anticipation of what was projected. Councilmember Etten echoed the comments of Councilmember McGehee specific to the SE Roseville working group, as well as questioning long-term economic development plans for the Twin Lakes area. Councilmember Etten stated that his questions regarding move-up housing and rezoning had been addressed by Mr. Bilotta's response to Councilmember Willmus's similar concerns. Specific to the SE Roseville working group, Mayor Roe clarified that those efforts were and should remain open to general public participation as well as that of the neighborhood. Mayor Roe stated that he envisioned involving feedback from people living and/or doing business there as well to make sure they were part of the process. Mayor Roe also noted the need to look at a long-term redevelopment plan for the area as a more formalized process as well as short-term efforts. Specific to move-up housing, Mayor Roe stated he was leery of tying that to MDR zoning, since he wasn't sure the values would be $350,000 or more; and opined that multiple strategies were needed, with the MDR serving as only one tool. Mayor Roe noted that single-family homes, similar to those having gone up over the last few years, could also help to accomplish that goal, such as facilitat- ing that type of development in single-family designated zoning areas or pockets
