Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, May 4, 2016 Page 4 in the near future, with former Community Development Director Paul Bilotta having 150 made a preliminary presentation to the City Council to initiate their thought process on 151 what method they wished to pursue. 152 Chair Boguszewski noted that many things were different than they were ten years ago, 153 including the ethnic and demographic make-up of the city itself requiring engagement of 154 those communities without incorporating subjective values in to the comprehensive plan, 155 but also requiring more innovation to quantify (e.g. walkability and livability). While 156 recognizing that the Metropolitan Council may clearly want to influence those under their 157 sphere of guidance, Chair Boguszewski noted the need for the city to develop its own 158 base line moving forward. 159 As alluded to by Ms. Collins, Chair Boguszewski noted the City Council’s receipt of the 160 report and recommendations of the Zoning Notification Task Force at the same time they 161 had received the Community Engagement Commission’s Neighborhood Association 162 report and recommendations. While the City Council was reviewing them and would also 163 have discussions on those recommendations in the future, Chair Boguszewski noted staff 164 was developing some practical steps to deliver to the City Council based on those 165 recommendations to provide broader and more inclusive notices, including to renters and 166 commercial lessees and tenants. 167 City Planner Paschke reported that the discussion was scheduled for the City Council’s 168 May 16, 2016 Worksession, with staff currently in the midst of analyzing next steps and 169 subsequently seeking the City Council’s direction on implementing the recommendations. 170 As an example of the cases on tonight’s agenda, Chair Boguszewski reviewed the notice 171 process used under the current method compared with the recommended method and 172 various methods (e.g. notices to renters and/or lessees, additional signage, or more 173 explicit definition of moving from one zoning classification to another). Chair Boguszewski 174 stated his personal anticipation and interest in seeing the City Council’s approval and 175 implications to improve community engagement and municipal transparency. 176 At the recent Ethics Training he attended, Member Bull reported he’d picked up a copy of 177 the Commissioner’s Handbook, which he considered a great document and thanked staff 178 for putting it together. If not already available, Member Bull suggested the document be 179 made available on the city’s website for community reference, opining it may serve to 180 prompt more citizen participation and awareness of the structure of the City of Roseville’s 181 government. 182 5.
