Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Page 5 b. PROJECT FILE 0004 Review and approve a final draft of the City of Roseville’s Comprehensive Plan Update Chair Bakeman opened the Public Hearing for Project File 0004. Chair Bakeman complimented staff on their preparation and presentation of this project report and its specificities. Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon Mr. Trudgeon provided a brief review of the staff report dated October 1, 2008 on the Draft 2030 Roseville Comprehensive Plan, in anticipation of Planning Commission recommendation to the City Council for distribution of the Plan to adjacent governmental jurisdictions, special taxing districts and school districts. Mr. Trudgeon advised that Economic Development Associate Jamie Radel would present information on the process to-date, the work of the Steering Committee, and specific chapters within the actual Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Trudgeon advised that then he would review specific and remaining issues of the Steering Committee that did not get consensus, having received only majority support. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed State Statute requirements for review by the eight (8) adjacent municipalities as well as the City of Roseville’s review of their Plans. Mr. Trudgeon referenced the aggressive timeframe detailed on page 5 of the staff report, and anticipated additional Public Hearing at the December 3, 2008 Planning Commission meeting, and City Council public comment and approval of the plan. Economic Development Associate Jamie Radel Ms. Radel briefly reviewed the process to-date as detailed in the staff report, including hiring of Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. (HKGI) by the City Council in September of 2007 as consultant to facilitate this process; appointment of the Steering Committee; public participation opportunities; review by City Advisory Commissions and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA); and periodic Planning Commission and City Council updates throughout the process. Ms. Radel noted that the thirteen (13) member Steering Committee had held fourteen (14) meetings; held two (2) Open Houses (one in March of 2008 with 70-80 in attendance, and another in August of 2008 with 25-30 in attendance, many of whom were Committee members, staff and consultants). Ms. Radel noted that the plan consisted of eleven (11) chapters, and included a future land use map; goals and policies; and proposed future land use designations. Ms. Radel noted that the staff report detailed each of the eleven chapters by description, of content and Steering Committee action, and included approval and/or majority/minority support of those chapters, with the “Land Use” and “Using the Plan” chapters specifically lacking consensus. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the Steering Committee process had provided consensus through discussion and compromise for the majority of the Plan; however, advised that there were three remaining issues pending consensus: ? The role of master plans within the Plan and how they would be utilized; ? The definition of the Community Business future land use category and limitation of their footprints at 100,000 square feet; and ? The future land use designation of the Har Mar Mall and SuperTarget (currently designated “Regional Business” with proposal to revise to “Community Business.”) Community Business Mr. Trudgeon reviewed page 4-7 and 4-8 of the Comprehensive Plan and differentiations between Regional Business (RB) and Community Business (CB) land use designations; noting that the Steering Committee had voted 7/6 on several proposed amendments to the language and whether to limit building footprints to 100,000 square feet.
