• Roadways have been a major factor in shaping the development pattern of Roseville. <br />Business (commercial and industrial) uses are primarily concentrated in the western third <br />of Roseville, along the I -35W and Highway 36 corridors. Commercial areas can also be <br />found along major street corridors (e.g. Rice Street and Snelling Avenue) and at major <br />street intersections. <br />• Lakes, parks, and open spaces are defining characteristics of Roseville. <br />Table 2 below provides a summary of the existing land use by category. For more detailed <br />information about the future planned land -use refer to Chapter 4 of the City's 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Table 2 <br />Existing Land Use <br />Land Use Category <br />Acres <br />% Total <br />Single - Family Detached <br />2925 <br />33.0% <br />Single-Family Attached <br />126 <br />1.4% <br />Manufactured Home Park <br />9 <br />0.1% <br />Multifamily <br />279 <br />3.1% <br />Common Areas <br />59 <br />0.7% <br />Business/Retail <br />486 <br />5.5% <br />Office <br />192 <br />2.2% <br />Light Industrial <br />396 <br />4.5% <br />Heavy Industrial <br />471 <br />5.3% <br />Institutional <br />510 <br />5.8% <br />Parks and Open Space <br />1089 <br />12.3% <br />Right of Way <br />1810 <br />20.4% <br />Railroad <br />96 <br />1.1% <br />Vacant <br />33 <br />0.4% <br />Vacant Developable <br />129 <br />1.5% <br />Water <br />251 <br />2.8% <br />Total <br />8861 <br />100% <br />Figure 7 and Figure 8 display the current and planned future land use maps which describe <br />the activities that occur on a piece of land and the function that land serves. In contrast, the <br />land cover is the characterization of the features covering the ground surface which can be <br />either natural or manrnade. The Minnesota Land Cover Classification System (MLCCS) is a <br />vegetation oriented classification system designed to identify natural and cultural land cover <br />types using a standardized methodology. Roseville's land cover map is shown in Figure 9 <br />which also includes overlays of regionally significant ecological areas and metro <br />conservation corridors identified by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). <br />Closely related to water resources management and land cover is the management of parks <br />and open space throughout the City. Many of the parks and open spaces are located around <br />the City's surface water resources and may provide opportunities for stormwater <br />management. Table 3 lists the parks and open spaces throughout Roseville. <br />Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan ROSEV120222 <br />City of Roseville Page 7 <br />
