REDA Meeting Minutes — Monday, June 21, 2016 Page 17 Member Willmus expressed his interest in pursuing that transition; referencing former Community Development Director Paul Bilotta's presentation on paring down what was currently zoned HDR. Ms. Collins clarified the acres identified by Mr. Bilotta had consisted of 57.8 acres of existing HDR zoned areas throughout Roseville, while only approximately 18 acres were required by the Metropolitan Council for such designation, as noted by Member McGehee. President Roe suggested the REDA decide what they wanted regardless of the requirement. President Roe suggested starting with the properties on the south side of County Road C in rezoning from HDR. Member McGehee sought to verify the number of acres for HDR needed for the 2040 comprehensive plan. Ms. Collins reviewed the options guided by units per acre or total acreage for MDR and HDR. President Roe reviewed existing MDR identified as currently undeveloped MDR at 9.8 acres; with 10.3 acres identified as potentially suitable for rezoning; with HDR and Institutional uses separated. Referring to the map, Member Etten noted his difficulty in defining what is currently zoned HDR but developed as a different use. Member Etten noted it would be easier to identify areasto change zoning from HDR versus those with a current and different use (e.g. strip malls) in determining those areas to consider a different designation. President Roe noted there weren't too many undeveloped sites, other than at the southeast corner of County Road E and Dale Street, and several other open areas as shown on the map in the northwest corner of Roseville. Ms. Kelsey noted another area were those single-family homes at County Road C-2 and Highway 88. Member Etten identified another unique property at Rice Street (surrounded by Roseville Estates apartments) currently zoned HDR that needed cleaned up in the upcoming comprehensive plan process, including other areas that are or are not developed. President Roe questioned if the previous 2010 rezoning effort had inadvertently moved HDR for the entire site without taking into consideration the gas station property.
