<br />environment, parks, and community facilities. From the Vista 2000 process <br />where nearly 100 residents participated, a set of goals and polices were <br />developed. These goals and policies are the current foundation of the Plan. There <br />are specific goals and policies on development and maintenance of the <br />residential, commercial, industrial sectors; as well as goals and policies for <br />transportation, community facilities, economic development, and <br />environment/natural resources. The same type of citizen process will look to the <br />future where goals and policies will be developed for 2010 and beyond. <br /> <br />SECTION 4. LAND USE AND PLANNING DISTRICTS. <br /> <br />To provide a closer look at neighborhood and small area planning, Section 4, the <br />Land Use Section of the Roseville Comprehensive Plan, includes an evaluation of <br />each of the City's 15 planning districts, as well as information on existing land <br />use and future land use designations for the entire community. In this section the <br />Planning Districts coincide with the Census tracts. The City has used these <br />Planning Districts as part of the updates to the Plan in 1959, 1969, 1978 and then <br />annually since 1994, primarily for ease of statistical comparison. These long-used <br />districts are not specific neighborhoods, but do describe the demography, and <br />land use and property value in each district. Approximately 38% of Roseville <br />land is used for residential purposes. This equals 63% of the total property value <br />and generates 37% of the communities total property taxes. In Minnesota, <br />commercial and industrial (C/I) properties are taxed at a higher rate than <br />residential properties. Therefore, by comparison the C/I properties include only <br />slightly more than 17% of the land area and contribute 29% of the total property <br />value and 62% of the total property tax. Community-wide, The total market <br />value of the City of Roseville in 2002 was $3.42 billion. <br /> <br />The Roseville Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations are defined in Section <br />4. The definitions help to describe each land use category and what relationship <br />these uses have to the zoning for housing and intensity of use. The residential <br />designations include: <br /> <br />LR Low Density Residential (34.03% of the land area) involves housing <br />units with a density of no more than 4 units per acre. <br /> <br />MR Medium Density Residential (2.04% of the land area) involves <br />housing units from 5 to 10 units per acre. <br /> <br />HR High Density Residential (4.01 % of the land area) involves housing <br />units from 11 to 36 units per acre. <br /> <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan - 2002 Update <br /> <br />Executive Summary -Page 6 of 16 <br />
