COMPREHENSIVE r IAN <br />For more than a year, the Planning Commission <br />of Roseville has been working to update <br />Roseville's comprehensive plan, which establishes <br />goals for community development and growth <br />through 2040 and a path to achieving those <br />goals. There are three primary areas of focus in <br />the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update: <br />- To create and sustain the elements that <br />define Roseville's character, heritage, and <br />identity. <br />- To influence the economic health of the <br />community through the promotion of strong <br />residential neighborhoods and business <br />districts. <br />- To shape the future of municipal government <br />by identifying needed public improvements <br />that facilitate and sustain development. <br />Maintaining the Roseville park system and <br />protecting natural resources in Roseville are also <br />major priorities, and many of the projects above <br />are referenced in relevant chapters of the plan. <br />APRIL 20, 2018 <br />The Planning Commission and City <br />Council have reviewed the draft <br />comprehensive plan, which is now <br />available on the city website, and both <br />bodies made recommendations for <br />changes to incorporate into the update. <br />Minnesota <br />GreenStep Cities <br />GREENSTEP CITIES <br />PROGRESS <br />Roseville has been a participating <br />member of the GreenStep Cities <br />Program from the Minnesota Pollution <br />Control Agency since 2012, and is on <br />the brink of achieving Step 5 of five. The <br />city plans to complete remaining Best <br />Practices to achieve Step 5 status by <br />the end of the year, including adopting <br />the Complete Streets policy mentioned <br />on the previous page and the Green <br />Team mentioned on page 4. Once Step <br />5 is achieved, the City will continue <br />monitoring progress on a variety of <br />sustainability metrics over the next <br />several years in order to achieve Step 4 <br />and 5. Since the founding of GreenStep <br />Cities, only 6 cities have achieved Step <br />5 status, and Roseville hopes to soon <br />join the ranks of ambitious and <br />prestigious cities leading the state on <br />resiliency, efficiency, and sustainability. <br />Further details on Roseville's progress <br />can be found at: <br />https://greenstep.pca.state.mn.us <br />
