Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 7, 2018 Page 16 Environmental Specialist Johnson noted the last five items that are critical to get to the next step. There is absolutely room for improvement,but a lot of these things, the City is already doing. Mayor Roe noted the capstone project outlined how much Roseville is already do- ing. Councilmember Laliberte asked whether anything has to be amended in the Code to refer to PWET members in this additional role. Mayor Roe indicated that is not necessary, as this is not an official role. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11507 (Attach- ment A) entitled, "A Resolution Designating the Roseville Public Works, Envi- ronment, and Transportation Commission as Roseville's Green Step Cities `Green Team.' Roll Call Ayes: McGehee, Willmus, Laliberte, Etten and Roe. Nays: None. b. Review the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan update and authorize distribu- tion to neighborhood communities for 6-month review Senior Planner Lloyd briefly introduced the revised Comp Plan and invited Ms. Perdu to present the revisions. WSB Consultant Erin Perdu noted that the document before the Council tonight is a revised plan of the complete 2040 Comp Plan. A public hearing has been held since then at the Planning Commission, and revisions have been made based upon that feedback. She provided an overview of the changes. Changes have been made to readability, the equity topic, and the What We Heard section was stream- lined. She highlighted some of the readability edits, including colors, fonts, and tables. Structural changes were made, doing some scrubbing for repetitive lan- guage. A small table of contents was made at the beginning of each chapter. Goals and strategies are in the same format and area in each chapter. With regard to equity, that language has been broadened throughout the document. A new icon has been added to call out goals and strategies. Ms. Perdu also highlighted the Land Use chapter. The PC hearing had some con- cern with regard to HarMar Mall. One of the concept sketches was changed from a popup cinema to a plaza. The previous area that was a plaza is now a food truck area. In the Housing section, there is more discussion of single-family housing as it contributes to existing affordability inventory in the City. She also presented the future land use map. The plan was submitted to the Met Council for prelimi- nary review in February. This is a courtesy technical review; it is not required.
