I � ��.. �� 1/, 1 1 �-- What does a Zoning Code do? A zoning code is a set of rules and a map adopted by a ciry to regulate development. Each parcel of land is a city receives a zoning designation that is depicted on the zoning map. All existing and new development in the city must be consistent with the requirements of its zoning designation. These requirements range from the rypes of development allowed on a properry to building setbacks from the street and adjacent properties to the amount of parking required on a site. Why is the City rewriting the Zoning Code now? Roseville is embarking on a zoning code rewriting process at this time for two primary reasons—the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was recently adopted and the existing zoning code is outdated. 1. Update to the Comprehensive Plan: The City adopted its 2030 Comprehensive Plan on October 26, 2009, which is triggering the City to review its "official controls>" including its Zoning Code. By State law, official controls cannot conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and the State allows cities up to nine months to update their controls ro conform with their plans. 2. Out-of-Date Code: Unlike comprehensive plans, zoning codes are rarely rewritten in full. Roseville has never completely updated its zoning code since its adoption in 1959. Much has changed in Roseville over the last five decades. In 1959, Roseville was still a village on the edge of St. Paul and Minneapolis with significant room to grow. Today, the city an inner-ring suburb that is part of a large metropolitan area. Since its initial adoption, the code has been amended innumerable times and has grown very difficult for residents and policy makers to utilize and for staff to administer. Zoning Updating Process The process began in late 2009 with the hiring of Cuningham Group Architecture, P.A. to lead a joint consultant-City staff team to undertake the rewriting process. The team has identified issues with the existing code, determined the appropriate zoning districts, and have begun drafting regulations for each district. During each step, the team tried to garner input by hosting communiry open houses and bringing recommendations to the Planning Commission to obtain member input. A third open house is planned for summer 2010. Upon completion of the draft chapters, each chapter must go through a formal adoption process, which includes a public hearing at the Planning Commission and approval from the Ciry Council. The public hearing for the Residential Chapter will be held on June 2, 2010. As the public hearings are scheduled for the other districts, hearing dates will be posted on the Zoning Update webpage, which can be accessed at A. Review Code B.
