Both Imagine Roseville 2025 and the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />15 <br />support property maintenance as a means by which to achieve neighborhood stability. The Housing <br />16 <br />section of Imagine Roseville suggests that the City “implement programs to ensure safe and well- <br />17 <br />maintained properties.” In addition, the Land Use chapter (Chapter 3) and the Housing and <br />18 <br />Neighborhoods chapter (Chapter 6) of the Comprehensive Plan support the City’s efforts to maintain <br />19 <br />livability of the City’s residential neighborhoods with specific policies related to property maintenance <br />20 <br />and code compliance. Policy 6.1 of Chapter 3 states that the City should promote maintenance and <br />21 <br />reinvestment in housing and Policy 2.6 of Chapter 6 guides the City to use code-compliance activities <br />22 <br />as one method to prevent neighborhood decline. <br />23 <br />FI <br />INANCIAL MPACTS <br />24 <br />A City Abatement would include the following: <br />25 <br />Tree Limbs: $400.00 <br />26 <br />Fence Repair: $250.00 <br />27 <br />Cut grass: $100.00 <br />28 <br />Impound truck: $ 0.00 <br />29 <br /> Total: $750.00 <br />30 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
