<br />I' <br /> <br />ROSEVILLE LIVABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM <br />HOUSING INCENTIVES ACTION PLAN <br />Revised for Participation in 2000 <br /> <br />In December 1995 the City Council approved goals for the City of Roseville participation in the <br />Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Act. The next step in the process was adoption of <br />an Action Plan, in which the city identifies the possible programs that would be used to <br />achieve its goals. The plan is: <br /> <br />1) collaborative, based on maximizing the assets the community already has (not a needs <br />based program) <br />2) rooted in the residential areas and neighborhoods, and <br />3) at least partially self-supporting. <br /> <br />A <br /> <br />Once the Council identified the action plan items, the staff prepared grant applications for the <br />highest priority items. The Planning Commission reviewed these items and comments that all <br />appear to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Commission ranked and <br />commented on each item in 1996. The following is a revision to the Action Plan and includes a <br />progress report on each program and projects identified for future grant applications. <br /> <br />Livable Communities Act (LCA) Action Plan Project Options: <br />STATUS OF L.eA. HOUSING PROJECTS: <br /> <br />1. Arona, a senior housing and activity center - No activity on this project as it ties into <br />the City Center Study to be accomplished with specific goals in 2000. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Zeece Site Soil Correction for Affordable Senior Housing - Project Completed: <br />Southwind Builders constructed 30 units of townhomes designed specifically for the <br />senior market. Price ranges from $139,000 - $145,000. Roseville owned 2 acres of the 6 <br />acre site and sold it to the developer at a reduced rate to enable the financing of needed <br />soil corrections. The proceeds from the sale were put into the Housing Fund for future <br />projects. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />3. Roseville Housing Replacement Program. The Roseville Housing Replacement <br />Program began in 1998 with the purchase of three homes. The program is summarized <br />as follows: <br /> <br />3.1 The housing replacement program was established in 1996 to help the City <br />purchase outdated or non-code compliant structures that could not be <br />economically rehabilitated or sold on the open market. <br /> <br />3.2 The purpose of the program is to replace deteriorating lower value housing on <br />scattered sites throughout the City with larger, higher value housing designed <br /> <br />1 <br />
