Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 02, 2010 Page 10 sewer capacities) many of which were initially funded for and/or developed by the 457 Metropolitan Council. 458 Lisa Belak 459 Ms. Belak questioned if the Comprehensive Plan was submitted to the 460 Metropolitan Council with minimal changes for the community, recognizing that 461 the City of Roseville already exceeded many municipalities. 462 Commissioner Boerigter reiterated previous notes that the Comprehensive Plan 463 Update was a 2-3 year process, with numerable public meetings held to discuss 464 various components, and those areas being designated for high density 465 residential, in addition to the countless and thoughtful discussions prior to 466 submission of the Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council. 467 Ms. Belak reiterated her question as to whether a Comprehensive Plan had been 468 presented consisting of minimal changes; with Chair Doherty responding in the 469 negative. 470 Commissioner Boerigter noted that the citizens of Roseville had spoken through 471 the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning process, as well as at other 472 public information meetings, providing a clear synopsis of their preferred vision 473 for the 2030 Roseville community. 474 Ms. Belak opined that that opinion did not seem to reflect the opinion of those in 475 attendance at tonight’s meeting. 476 Chair Doherty noted that the Comprehensive Plan did not reflect the Metropolitan 477 Council’s guidance mandating for 8,000 new housing units in Roseville. 478 Chair Doherty closed the Public Hearing at 8:56 p.m. 479 Recess 480 Chair Doherty recessed the meeting at 8:56 p.m. and reconvened at 9:09 p.m. 481 Commission and Staff Discussion 482 Chair Doherty suggested breaking the discussion into components to address 483 specific issues brought forward during public comment. Chair Doherty 484 respectively requested that the audience respect this time of discussion among 485 Commissioners and staff and avoid attempts to interject. 486 Har Mar Mall (southern property at Har Mar Mall and whether original 487 zoning designation was R-1 with special use parking versus zoning 488 designation as R-1) 489 Chair Doherty requested that individual commissioners provide their interest in 490 whether to entertain a motion to consider recommending to the City Council a 491 Comprehensive Plan Amendment on zoning designation for this property. 492 Mr. Paschke reviewed the process for Comprehensive Plan Amendment through 493 this body, as well as the City Council for submission of such an amendment and 494 reconsideration by the Metropolitan Council; and clarified the actual parcels on 495 the south being discussed. 496 Commissioner Boerigter sought to clarify the intent of the discussion, with both 497 previous and current Comprehensive Plan designation as part of the larger Har 498 Mar Mall design and common ownership, with use of those parcels for parking 499 and buffering. Commissioner Boerigter noted that, if the intent was to avoid 500 development of those parcels or to provide any access off the Mall in that area, 501 that was one issue. However, he noted that, if the intent was that future 502 redevelopment of the entire site or multi-family housing not be considered over 503 another use that was an entirely different issue. Commissioner Boerigter noted 504 that, just by rezoning the property, it didn’t mean an apartment could not be 505 considered as a future use, or that additional access would be granted off that 506 street. 507
