City Council Work Session Meeting Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 11 Councilmember McGehee opined that the City has languished significantly as a Green Step City. Mayor Roe noted that the percentages listed in the paragraphs do not correspond to the percentages in the charts. He suggested staff review of those percentages. Mayor Roe also noted on the Mixed Use designations, under Community Mixed Use, the residential requirement is listed as 10 percent. But the paragraph to the right mentions 25 percent. He also suggested alternative language be used regard- ing institutional uses in the low-density residential area. Chapter 5 Ms. Perdu noted that the Council saw this Housing chapter fairly recently with minimal changes. Mayor Roe asked for a review of the charts on page 6, as charts #1 and#3 are the same, as are#2 and#4. He suggested one should be non-owner occupied and one is owner-occupied for each pair. Ms. Perdu suggested that one should be over the affordability threshold and one should be underneath the affordability threshold. She will look into it to be sure. Councilmember Etten pointed out page 15 of chapter 5 shows owner-occupied housing by estimated housing value. He noted a complete lack of the yellow dot and asked whether that did not populate correctly, i.e., the"missing middle." This is something for the Council to consider as a policy related to housing. Councilmember Willmus suggested an improvement in image qualities in the Comp Plan, particularly those images taken from the Met Council. Ms. Perdu responded she will check with the Met Council on improved image quality. Councilmember Laliberte recalled that during the previous discussion of chapter 5, she brought up the fact that in Roseville, single-family housing becomes starter housing for other people moving in. She suggested the Comp Plan should acknowledge that. Ms. Perdu noted she added some language in the housing needs goals about the fact that the turnover provides housing on page 24. It is hard to quantify that, but she can add more to that section. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that the City's single-family housing stock is new family housing stock that turns over and should be counted.
