(:' Minnesota Roseville Housing Improvement Plan - 2001 Approved and Adopted November 8. 1999, January 8,2001 New or Revised Programs for 2001 indicated with Underline Preamble: Roseville's Housing Improvement Plan (the "Housing Plan") is a document established to guide planning and policies related to providing a community rich in housing quality and choices for all residents. The Housing Plan is reviewed and revised annually by the City Council to ensure that the programs established are effectively and efficiently serving the current housing needs of the community. It is understood that as housing structures age and the market needs change so will the programs and policies in the Housing Plan. The main components of the Housing Plan includes the VISION OF Vista 2000 and goals and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Livable Communities Action Plan. Each program within the Housing Plan strives to meet the current needs of the community by collaborating with other agencies and filling gaps that might exist within more traditional housing programs. Section 1. Housing Condition. Roseville has over 15,000 housing units of which 59 percent are detached single-family, owner/ occupied homes. The second largest category of housing in Roseville is the combination of apartments and condominiums which make up 36 percent of the housing units in the City. Townhomes represent almost five percent of the housing units in the community. Over 70 percent of all housing units are owner-occupied. There are approximately 100 mobile homes remaining in Roseville, most of which are at least 20 years in age. The annual overall turnover rate for single family residents is less than three percent (3%) while the rental multifamily turnover rate is nearly 30 percent per year. The number of housing units built prior to 1950 in Roseville represents nine percent (9%) of the entire housing stock. Many of these units offer affordable housing opportunities, or at least, since they are generally on large lots, an opportunity to redevelop the housing/lot into a number of housing sites. The housing stock built in Roseville prior to 1960 (40 or more years old) is 37 percent of the total. In the housing boom years from 1960 to 1970, almost 30 percent of the dwelling units in the community were constructed. Some structural or maintenance repair work is required of each home after 20 years of use; in Roseville 85% of the homes are over 20 years of age.
