Planning Commission –Comprehensive Plan Update Minutes –Wednesday, January 25, 2017 Page 14 Member Cunningham addressed “life cycle housing” opining that this was one 501 area specifically identified already that is lacking in Roseville (e.g. step-up 502 housing). Member Cunningham suggested one way to address that more 503 specifically would be to break it out into its own category similar to that of the 504 “affordable” category, bringing more awareness to it. 505 Member Bull admitted he didn’t understand how “revise” or“delete” fit into the 506 comprehensive plan (e.g. maintain properties). 507 Ms. Perduclarified that if the city envisions being devoted to building 508 maintenance programs, code enforcement, loans to maintain properties, etc. it 509 depended on the direction the city wanted to go. 510 Chair Boguszewski noted that some of those programs were already in place. 511 Member Murphy stated he had included “partially” in his notes because of those 512 initial steps to achieve safe and well-maintained properties, many already in 513 place. 514 Mr.Lloyd noted the city’s current dual approach for cycling through residential 515 and commercial areas of the city, from the boulevard, to determine if there were 516 issues in evidence to identify for correction or enforcement. While that inspection 517 cycle continues, Mr. Lloyd advised it responded to that initial goal. 518 Member Bull questioned how that fit into the comprehensive plan, with Mr. Lloyd 519 responding that it was addressed in the “neighborhoods” or “housing” chapters 520 with goals or policies revolving around that very action. As these goals are 521 determined and what they mean is fleshed out in detail, Mr. Lloyd noted that they 522 would in turn result in policies set forth by the City Council to achieve or 523 maintain those goals. In other words, ensuring the community continued to 524 comply with city code. 525 Member Murphy advised that he had been the one commenting on funding, 526 recognizing the desire to ensure affordable housing and funding; but also 527 maintaining housing programs that captured funding as only one particular 528 solution but part of many other components. 529 Ms. Perduduly noted that consideration, suggesting it be reworded as with several 530 other categories based on tonight’s comments. 531 Chair Boguszewski stated that the word “character” set him off when used as a 532 term, supporting the Roseville line that “you don’t know what it is, but you know 533 it when you hear it.” Chair Boguszewski stated his preference for clear definitions 534 versus tolerance for terms not easily definable, such as “sustainability” to provide 535 a measurement, or strip them out of the goals if subjective or only guiding the 536 desired goals. 537 Ms. Perdusuggested that was a good topic for future discussion. 538
