Lot Split Policy Recommendations May, 2447 We believe that R-1 zoning policy and code should be designed "for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the character, stability, and vitality of residential neighborhoods." ~Ve believe that Roseville has an adequate mix of hausing at this time, from mobile homes to homes valued at over one million dollars. Roseville is fortunate to have a generous standard lot size of 11,000 square feet that enhances the green space and wildlife opportunities within the city. To maintain the character and ambiance of our corrununity and neighborhoods, we the undersigned urge the Roseville City Council to adopt the following policy regarding lot splits in R®seville's residential n=e~ghborhoods c~aliiTeniiy listed as R- ~ . . 1. As of July 1, 2007, all R-1 platted lots within Roseville are declared legal, regardless of size, placement, lot lines, or any other aspects that would render them "non-conforming" under current policies. 2. Any R-1 lot platted as single-family and that has not yet been developed may be developed with asingle-family residence that conforms to Roseville building code. 3 . No R- l single-family platted. lot may be divided or subdivided without noticed (1,000 feet in all directions) public hearings before the Planning Corrunission and the City Council and subsequent approval of the proposal by the City Council. 4. Lots created by an approved division of an R-1 platted lot can be no smaller than the average lot size of all contiguous lots {those sharing a corrunon boundary with the original lot) and no smaller than the current standard lot size of 11,000 sf. For example, John and Mary Doe have a 45,000 sf lot. The three contiguous lots (right, left, and rear) are 20,000, 12,000, and 30,000 square feet respectively with an average of 20,666 sf. John and Mary may divide their lot, but they may only divide it into two lots because the remaining 24,334 sf lot cannot be made smaller.
