Member Etten asked how to define "small business," whether that meant the total in the community under fifty employees, or their national number elsewhere. Ms. Kvilvang noted satellite offices were not typically counted as small businesses, but part of their parent company. Therefore, Ms. Kvilvang noted small businesses would be defined as newer, non-franchised establishments. Ms. Collins agreed and provided an example of how a small business may deviate from the REDA policy, but still fall under the retail category. President Roe recalled that recent new warehouse type facilities in Roseville seeined to provide good �vage levels, and suggested further review of warehouse uses. REDA EYecutive Director Trudgeon noted they may be good paying jobs, but not of b eat quantity. In his review of the REDA survey, Mr. Trudgeon noted the interest appears to be the nulnber of employees, and like data centers as well as warehouses, and �vith not a lot of employees on site that may have driven that category do�vn more than actual �vages. Ylember McGehee stated she didn't consider "distribution" due to the nuinber of those uses already in Roseville, and the traffic they generated, amount of space they took up, and considerable amount of iinpervious surface (parking lots) they took up, including truck traffic generated. Given those characteristics, Member McGehee opined she wasn't' that interested in more. President Roe suggested there may be special situations where they could be given consideration. As defined in the displayed slide, without objection, President Roe concluded that the REDA had determined that the list was appropriate, with the inclusion of retail only if it fell within the small, family-owned category. Multi-Familv Housin� Priority/REDA Subsidy Consideration Ms. Kvilvang reviewed various housing stock preferences expressed by individual meinbers in the survey, and those already available or still needed, displayed on the slide. Ms. Kvilvang concluded that housing didn't seem to be a priority of the REDA with a disconnect for bonus criteria, and housing driving most redevelopment projects.
