City of Roseville ORDINANCE NO. 1494 AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE REZONING OF PROPERTY FOR HDR-1 AND HDR-2 IN THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE ORDAINS: SECTION 1: Purpose and Intent The City of Roseville ("City") recognizes significant public interest and concern over ensuring the City has the appropriate amount of available land zoned and guided for high density housing to satisfy the needs of the community. The City desires to regulate the use of property in a manner that is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The City recognizes it may not currently have the appropriate regulatory tools such as Planned Unit Developments to effectively regulate high density housing. Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355 allows the City to adopt a temporary interim ordinance for a period of up to twelve (12) months from the date it is effective, to allow for such study and adoption of comprehensive plan, zoning and/or other official land use controls in order to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The same statute allows for the limited extension of the period under particular circumstances. The City has concluded that additional study is required related to analyzing the supply and demand for high density housing in the community, review of high density housing zoning regulations, and creation of a Planned Unit Development andJor site plan approval process. There is a need for an interim ordinance to be adopted for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City until such a study has been completed. SECTION 2: Prohibition Pursuant to State Statutes 462.355, the City hereby adopts and approves this interim ordinance temporarily prohibiting the rezoning of property to zoning classification HDR- 1: High Density Residential-1 and HDR-2: High Density Residential-2 across the entire City. During the effective period of this interim ordinance, the City will not accept any application for rezoning of property to HDR-1 or HDR-2 nor any applications for comprehensive plan amendments to the High Density Residential classification.
