Purpose: <br />The Roseville City Code is hereby amended to further clarify the intent <br />6 <br />of Improvement Area regulations in Low-Density Residential Districts, and eliminate technical detail <br />7 <br />from the zoning code in order to minimize redundancy and to prevent inconsistencies with the relevant <br />8 <br />regulations maintained elsewhere in the City Code. <br />9 <br />Section 1004.08 (Low-Density Residential-1) <br />SECTION 2. is hereby amended as follows: <br />10 <br />C. Improvement Area: Improvement area, including paved surfaces and , the footprints of principal and <br />11 <br />accessory buildings, and other structures like decks, pergolas, etc., shall be limited to 50% of the <br />12 <br />parcel area. The purpose of this overall improvement area limit is to allow f <br />13 <br />construction on a residential property while preventing over-building. Notwithstanding Within this <br />14 <br />improvement area limit, storm water runoff shall be limited to the amount of runoff gene <br />15 <br />during a 1-inch rain event over a 24-hour period by impervious paved surfaces and building <br />16 <br />footprints covering shall be limited to 30% of a parcel; for parcels within a Shoreland or Wetland <br />17 <br />Management District, storm water runoff paved surfaces and building footprints shall be further <br />18 <br />limited to the amount of runoff generated under the same circumstances by i <br />19 <br />covering 25% of the parcel area.
