Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 6, 2019 Page 12 it's a sort of quasi-industrial production but not extensive, it is limited. He would be concerned if that language was put into this definition of a Laboratory for Re- search and Development, that now the City would be starting to allow more things that the City might otherwise not want to allow. While he understood the spirit of that, he thought the City would want to look closely at the language. Councilmember Willmus thought some of those changes came about as a result of the Council's prior conversations. He thought former Councilmember McGehee was certainly worried about manufacturing and that is the tie in there. Mayor Roe agreed and stated there is also the concern of talking about laborato- ries in the context of post-secondary education, where it might be a backdoor to get post-secondary education in where it would otherwise not be allowed. Councilmember Laliberte agreed with Councilmember Etten in that not every en- tity who might be interested in coming to Roseville is going to use it solely for re- search and testing. If it is a smaller or start up company, that company is going to want to do everything on one site and would not have the ability to have another facility somewhere else that produces. She thought it was a bit limiting in this way and more open to having a discussion about the development or controlled production. Mayor Roe clarified, on this PUD proposal one of the uses that is permitted is la- boratory for research development or testing and also listed separately is limited production and processing as a permitted use. He did not know if the Council should get so hung up on the laboratory definition that is missing in order to actu- ally allow limited production processing in the PUD. Councilmember Laliberte asked why Orthopedic and Chiropractic were added separately and not as a part of medical. Ms. Gundlach stated she reviewed the Planning Commission minutes and thought the Commission was trying to be inclusive of all of the various typed of medical office. She stated that is lumped in with Clinic, Medical, Orthopedic, Chiroprac- tic, Dental or Optical. She stated leaving the word medical in there still leaves it open for some other specialty that is not on the list, but the Planning Commission did identify those specific specialties. Councilmember Laliberte thought it was odd to call out a couple and not an ex- haustive list. Councilmember Groff agreed with Councilmember Laliberte and in differentiat- ing a lot of things, he thought that opens the door to problems down the road. He thought Mayor Roe's comment about limited production was a good one and would agree with that as it leaves the City open.
