Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 6,2015 Page 25 needed to be made. Mayor Roe indicated that to begin that process, a draft ordi- nance would provide something for the City Council to respond to, while hoping tonight's input had provided some parameter within which to start that work. Mr. Gozola thanked the City Council for their overall direction, noting he was not hearing anything to indicate the points already pointed out were not out-of-line or off-base, but still grounded in what the City hoped to accomplish. Mr. Gozola thanked Planning Commissioners for their input as well; and expressed his inter- est in bringing all boards and departments into the consultation process. Since this is the first introductory meeting held, Mr. Gozola noted next steps would be to review this discussion with staff, define a cost to develop an ordinance, with nothing signed to-date; and bringing that proposal back to the City Council with a plan about how to get the city where they thought they wanted to go. Mayor Roe opined that the preservation areas provided an interesting concept (e.g. Acorn Road) that may indicate different replacement rates, as well as credits for off-site replacement and/or tree "banking," all of which he found worthy to look at. Mayor Roe opined that the "cash in lieu of' for trees could fund those wanting to put up a tree and the ability to do so at a reduced cost, offering his in- terest in looking at that concept. Based on earlier comments and what additional information was needed, Coun- cilmember Laliberte noted the need to have all depai intents aligned and working together. Recognizing the position for a Forester posted earlier this year, Coun- cilmember Laliberte noted the need to hear more options: whether a staff position was preferable, or an outside consultant or business; or whether the City's role was to get involved in the business or identifying good or bad trees beyond dis- ease issues (e.g. EAB)to avoid being seen as "tree snobs." Along those lines of good or bad trees, Councilmember McGehee noted the need to avoid encouraging planting of noxious invasive trees, but also providing a gen- eral list of trees that differentiated between native or non-native plantings rather than trying to define all tree species; but only those not serving to encroach fur- ther. Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance Update Similar to the presentation for tree preservation, Mr. Gozola outlined previous discussions as listed in Attachment B dated July 6, 2015; defined what PUD's were, their commonalities and variables by community, various approaches, and what they should look link in Roseville. Mr. Gozola strongly recommended the City Council's consideration of using an overlay district concept, and provided his rationale in making that recommenda- tion based on most of the zoning regulations already in place or available for spe- cific consideration in a PUD and providing an important safeguard; better under-
