Guiding Principles. <br /> <br />The following principles are useful to guide in the planning and economic development <br />efforts for the community as it pertains to housing. The guiding principles help orient <br />discussion, analysis and decision-making regarding policies and strategies that are used to <br />complete the Roseville Housing Improvement Plan. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The Roseville Housing Improvement Plan: <br />. is consistent with the comprehensive plan by providing a variety of housing for all <br />residents; <br />. encourages community self-reliance, collaboration with other housing providers and <br />education to create and retain housing value; <br />. uses expert "coaches" to start the programs; and <br />. remains small and incremental, not creating large bureaucratic staff-driven programs. <br /> <br />Section 3. Housing Goals. <br /> <br />The City will consider the following four housing goals when evaluating current and <br />future housing programs: <br /> <br />1. Roseville will strive to provide a variety of housing types (owner occupied and rental) <br />that balances affordability, maintains quality of housing and the urban environment, <br />has access to public infrastructure, services and employment and enhances <br />neighborhood viability. <br /> <br />d <br /> <br />2. Continuously strive to improve the quality of approximately 200 existing units which <br />are below the average physical condition and less than 75 percent of the median value <br />of housing units within the community (currently 55 single family and 160 multi- <br />family units). <br /> <br />3. Fill the gaps in the city's housing portfolio by providing housing for all stages of the <br />life cycle such as the needs for entry level housing and more affordable senior <br />housing. Specifically, assist in the provision of entry level family housing to <br />regenerate the community, schools and our neighborhoods. <br /> <br />4. Meet the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act benchmarks, and city indexes <br />(subject to market conditions and resource availability) as outlined in Roseville's <br />action plan for the period from 1996 to 2010. <br /> <br />r:I <br /> <br />Roseville Housing Improvement Plan <br /> <br />Page 2 <br />
