Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 23, 2016 Page 18 Councilmember McGehee agreed with Councihnember Willmus that the City Council was being shortsighted. For clarification purposes, and for the benefit of Councilmember McGehee, Councilmember Etten identified several HDR-2 areas in Roseville at this time. Councilmember Etten noted City Manager Trudgeon's information about the ac- tual 10% increase in units available with the PUD ordinance process if applicable; and questioned if that was applicable or the more significant increase of 30% or more in density, that may open the door to other implications, including through the PUD process. Mayor Roe suggested this PUD ordinance discussion be a separate debate outside this rezoning request. Mayor Roe noted that a text amendment to the PUD ordinance would require a public process and public hearing before the Planning Cornmission followed by the developer subsequently applying for and staff analyzing that application and then the approval process. While it may sound simple, Mayor Roe suggested it may not be so given a number of mitigating factors (e.g. size of property, parlcing, stormwater management, etc.). Mayor Roe noted that staff currently has the abil- ity to require greater setbacks given adjacent uses; and also the City Council has the ability to re-designate zoning back to HDR-1. Councilmember McGehee opined that this give and take is certainly gennane to this rezoning request, and that it would be inappropriate for Mayor Roe to push forward the motion and arguing only his point of view. Mayor Roe duly noted Councilmeinber McGehee's comment; but clarified that the City Council is not here to discuss the PUD process, but the motion currently before the body. Councilmember Laliberte stated she was not concerned if there were a few extra steps needed for the PUD process to evolve; opining that was less a concern for her than doing what was right on this parcel. Councilmember Laliberte stated she would vote to pursue the PUD process if it resulted in a better product no matter the time required to reach that goal. Councilmember Laliberte withdrew her second to the motion. Mayor Roe seconded the motion and restated the motion was to approve the rezoning request. Roll Call Ayes: Etten and Roe. Nays: Willmus, Laliberte and McGehee.
