Based on the findings of this study, the Roseville Housing Improvement Program will be expanded in 2003 to include additional strategies for housing maintenance, development and housing programming. SECTION 7. ECONOMIC AND REDEVELOPMENT PLANS. The City of Roseville continues to place strong emphasis on the enhanced quality of life for its residents and businesses by creating balance and diversity in retail, office and industrial development. This is achieved through economic and redevelopment strategies that are continually being reviewed and adjusted according to market conditions, resources and current opportunities. There are approximately 2,100 businesses and 34,800 jobs within the community. Roseville has more jobs per resident (1 job per resident) than any other metropolitan city except Edina. Employees working in Roseville are treated as 8-hour (at least!) residents who bring quality, vitality, and economy to the City. The City strives to support business development that increases the tax base and adds quality jobs - the majority of which are considered to be paying head-of-household wages. Seventeen percent of the land in Roseville is comprised of retail, office and industrial parcels with the remaining land being residential, institutional, parks and public lands. The City has over 3.3 million square feet of retail space, anchored by the Rosedale Regional Shopping Mall (1.3 million square feet), surrounding smaller centers, and the Har-Mar Community Shopping Center (0.5 million square feet). Roseville has had significant building activity in the last 5 years. In 2002, approximately 1,600 permits were issued, which is near the five- year average for permits; commercial-industrial construction values for 2002 exceeded $25 million. As a fully developed first ring suburb, Roseville places a strong emphasis on redevelopment. Roseville categorizes redevelopment by area and actively encourages the redevelopment of blighted commercial and industrial land uses. Such redevelopment often incorporates planned business parks to maximize the tax base, create new jobs and provide livable and walkable communities in a suburban setting. Two of the largest mixed-use business parks currently being redeveloped are Centre Pointe and Twin Lakes. Centre Pointe Business Park. The Centre Pointe area includes a total of 66 acres immediately east of 35W on Cleveland at County Road D. In 2000 there were two major projects under construction in Centre Pointe totaling over $21 million in new value. Veritas broke ground with a 5-story, 143,000 s.f. office building. Occupancy occurred in spring of 2001. This is the first of a three building campus that will include a parking ramp with a total of 383,000 s.f. of office space.
