The Roseville Comprehensive Plan is divided into 1J sections by topic and an appendix. What follows is a summary of Sections 2 through 11 of the Comprehensive Plan. SECTION 2. DEMOGRAPHY. Who lives and works here? Where are the children? Many people ask for details about the demographic make-up of the community. Section 2, the Community Profile provides answers in charts and maps illustrating Roseville's population by age, sex, density, ownership, tenure and other measures. Over the past 40 years the community has grown from less than 8,000 residents in 1950 to 33,690 in the 2000 Census. By 2020 at maximum, Roseville will grow by about 10 percent to a total of 37,000 residents. By age group, Roseville has a growing senior population and a shrinking youth group. Over the past 40 years, the under 5 age group has declined from 16 percent of the population to less that two percent; those between 5 and 19 have declined from 32 percent of the population to slightly more than 15 percent; and those over age 65 have increased from two percent to nearly 20 percent. Typical of most first ring suburbs, senior females make up as much as 60 percent of the over 65 age group. Racially, Roseville is made up of nearly 90 percent white Americans and ten percent minorities. The largest minority consists of Asian Americans which doubled in size in the last ten years to now account for four percent of the population. SECTION 3. GOALS AND POLICIES. The view of the future or "vision" of Roseville is contained in a process called Vista 2000 and Vista 2010. This citizen participation process is a critical part of updating the Roseville Comprehensive Plan. The question, "What should Roseville look like in the next ten years?" is asked for many topics such as land use, transportation, housing, neighborhoods, economic development, environment, parks, and community facilities. From the Vista 2000 process where nearly 100 residents participated, a set of goals and polices were developed. These goals and policies are the current foundation of the Plan. There are specific goals and policies on development and maintenance of the residential, commercial, industrial sectors; as well as goals and policies for transportation, community facilities, economic development, anJ environment/natural resources. The same type of citizen process will look to future where goals and policies will be developed for 2010 and beyond. Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 200 I Update Executive Summary -Page 5 of 15
