<br />3. Establish one citywide interdisciplinary "Neighborhood Action Program or <br />Ombudsman" to coordinate and facilitate each neighborhood's responsibilities <br />on social, and educational issues as well as physical improvements. This could <br />also be done through a Commission on neighborhoods. <br /> <br />4. Convert unused/underused commercial lands to residential uses. For example, <br />in underused strip centers, encourage redevelopment with multi-family housing <br />uses. <br /> <br />5. Identify evolving neighborhoods that are least resistant to change. Consider <br />redeveloping entire neighborhoods to meet current and future needs. If this is <br />not feasible, offer all homeowners in the neighborhood individual incentives to <br />upgrade their property. <br /> <br />6. To protect the integrity of all housing areas, require strict adherence to all <br />performance standards. <br /> <br />a) Undertake appropriate actions to ensure the safety and security of residents <br />in their neighborhood. <br /> <br />b) Maintain the quality of existing residential areas through comprehensive <br />enforcement of all codes. <br /> <br />c) Adopt appropriate ordinances to ensure property is maintained in order to <br />prevent deterioration of residential neighborhoods. <br /> <br />d) Where higher intensity uses are located adjacent to existing residential <br />neighborhoods create effective land use buffers and physical screening. <br /> <br />e) Consider ordinances (including setbacks) to allow for easier expansion or <br />upgrading of existing residences. For example, establish a percentage of <br />each lot which may have impervious cover; establish expansion standards <br />consistent with the majority of adjacent or nearby structures; or, with both <br />property owners agreement, change side property line setback requirements <br />to side yard setbacks between structures. <br /> <br />7. When approving a residential Planned Unit Development, require better quality <br />with established criteria for open space, a "sense of place", and quality materials. <br /> <br />8. Encourage the development of well-designed multiple family dwelling projects <br />which are compatible with adjacent uses. The following criteria should be <br />considered when reviewing proposals for multiple family dwelling construction <br />within the City: <br /> <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 1998 Update <br /> <br />Goals and Policies - Page 8 of 20 <br />
