1.INTRODUCTION The Roseville Housing and Redevelopment Authority (RHRA) is seeking proposals from qualified developers to purchase and redevelop a parcel that is approximately 3 acres in size and located at the west side of Dale Street between Lovell and Cope Avenue. The parcel is owned by the RHRA and City of Roseville. The RHRA went through the Corridors Development Initiative (CDI) process, which consisted of four community workshops. Approximately 120 community members attended the workshops, which were aimed at accomplishing the following: Gather community input on shared values for the area; Explore development scenarios to identify feasible redevelopment options for the site; Establish development guidelines to address the challenges and opportunities of the site; and Build community consensus around development goals (guidelines). 2.PROPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS The purpose of the CDI process was to identify a range of development options that meet community goals and market viability; the process was not intended to arrive at a specific development direction or product. The CDI process involved a technical team of facilitators, designers, developers, and city staff who worked collaboratively to inform and support participants as they explored ideas. After participating in the CDI process, participants indicated that they did have a better understanding of the guidelines that could be requested of a developer to enhance the area for current and future residents.
