Planning Commission –Comprehensive Plan Update Minutes –Wednesday, January 25, 2017 Page 13 Daire noted how it had been knit into the fabric of Roseville over the years; and 463 expressed his interest in seeing more of that in the community; but also noted that 464 in order to generate those types of groups, they needed to have a reason. 465 Mr. Lloyd asked how much of that the NextDoor.com platform provided for; 466 noting that it wasn’t available in 2027 when the Imagine Roseville 2025 467 document was put together. While some neighborhood groups had already formed 468 organically, Mr. Lloyd pointed out that the city had not been involved in any 469 formative way, but suggested a community based on real geography versus digital 470 geography provided by NextDoor.com. 471 Ms. Perdusuggested that would be a good topic to pursue in more detail. 472 Chair Boguszewski opined that it was an important question and suggested the 473 Commission needed to be intentional about it in a way that made sense. 474 Community Safety 475 Ms. Perdusuggested interest in making those goals stronger and sought comment 476 from the Planning Commission. 477 Member Murphy opined that the need was to consider the community’s strong 478 police, fire and emergency presence, not only for visitors but also for its residents 479 and business community. 480 Ms. Perduagreed that was a fair point. 481 Housing 482 Ms. Perdureviewed comments noted on the homework sheet, such as partnering 483 with the private sector; and noted questions about “funding” and whether that was 484 the right word or not when those partnerships could be beyond our outside the 485 funding realm. 486 Chair Boguszewski stated that the key nuance for him personally had been the 487 definition of “affordability.” As worded, Chair Boguszewski questioned the actual 488 metric meant by the word “sufficient” when keyed to population and whether that 489 meant a certain percentage of income earners falling into multiple income levels. 490 Chair Boguszewski questioned if that was the housing units being sought after for 491 affordable housing units, and beyond what simply made it “affordable.” 492 Ms. Perdusuggested her firm provide the Metropolitan Council’s targets for the 493 Commission’s examination and decision. 494 Chair Boguszewski questioned if they should be examined for possible adoption 495 or to inform the city’s goal, noting that the Metropolitan Council had its own 496 vision and from his personal opinion, it wasn’t always aligned with Roseville’s 497 vision. Therefore, Chair Boguszewski suggested that the information provided 498 should inform the city and this process, but not serve to define Roseville and its 499 goals. 500
