ATTACHMENT F Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, September 7, 2022 Page 12 Member Pribyl wondered if that would make more sense as a part of the non- traditional stormwater system as an option rather than being its own thing and being a high shot at points. Ms. Gundlach indicated staff could certainly lump it into that category. Member Pribyl also wondered under stormwater systems by retention area, raingarden if the City is requesting something different than what the Watershed Districts would require. Mr. Paschke thought it was, perhaps, it was more for commercial development in areas that would not normally provide the City with the bioretention, rain garden thing. They would build an underground storm system which is how most everyone deals with it. What this is doing is trying to get the developer to think a little differently to have a little more green area and to provide filtration and other things versus just providing a system underground. Ms. Gundlach continued the presentation on potential zoning incentives with the Commission. Chair Kimble thought if someone is really committed to sustainability they ought to be able to get more than one incentive. Ms. Gundlach agreed. Chair Kimble also thought with keeping it outside of the Code there will be feedback by developers along the way that will be beneficial. Ms. Gundlach explained the research done showed them that no one is doing this. Everybody is tying it to public finance assistance. Nobody is writing incentives into their code so if Roseville did this the City would sort of be a leader. Member McGehee asked if the City is going to include public financing as one of the incentives because all there is now, is density and height or changing the exterior. Ms. Gundlach explained public finance assistance is not really a zoning incentive. It should not be in the Zoning Code and the City is very limited on what it can actually provide public financing assistance for. What staff is talking about is the City does have a public finance assistance policy and staff is talking asking the EDA to revise that policy to say any projects that receive public finance assistance have to do x, y and z related to sustainability. She listed some examples. Chair Kimble thought it was really an adjustment to the EDA’s requirements for public financing versus a public financing impact on this.
