<br />~~. <br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION/DIRECTION <br />DATE: 04/13/98 <br />ITEM NO: <br />Manager Approved: Agenda Section: <br /> <br />HOUSING PRESERVATION TASK FORCE <br /> <br />The purpose of this memo is to provide you with more information on <br />instigating a Housing Preservation Task Force for Roseville. The Planning <br />Commission has previously recommended to the Council that such a Task <br />Force be formed. This memo and attachments would then be used to begin <br />the discussion and gain direction from the Mayor and Council. <br /> <br />1.0 BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />In Roseville there are now approximately 15,600 housing units. These homes <br />represent the community's major "built" asset with an estimated physical value <br />in excess of $1.5 billion. Over fifty-four percent (8,406) are single family <br />homes. Forty-six percent (7119) are townhouses, apartments, condos, quads, <br />mobile homes and others. <br /> <br />Age of structures is a concern; sixty-four percent (5640) of the homesteaded <br />single family units are more than 35 years old. The majority of the rental <br />apartment projects are more than 30 years old. Apartments usually wear down <br />and require more maintenance, earlier in their life cycle than single family <br />homes. <br /> <br />1 <br />
