RPCA Attachment A Comprehensive Plan Update Request for Qualifications City of Roseville, Minnesota Introduction The City of Roseville is requesting a statement of qualifications from consulting teams experienced in long-range land use, housing, and economic development/redevelopment, park and open space, transportation, and water resource planning to update its Comprehensive Plan. Roseville is located within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council and must submit an updated comprehensive plan to the Council for review by December 31, 20082018. Roseville faces the challenges of an older, first-ring suburb, such as aging building stock, demographic shifts, and increasing competition from new suburban development. Yet many potential opportunities are afforded by our unique position within the metropolitan area. The comprehensive plan update will strive to identify land use, housing, and economic development policies and implementation techniques to promote equity, preparedness for a changing climate, good health, quality residential renovation, creative infill projects, and innovative commercial and industrial redevelopment to allow the community to prosper into the future. Community Profile Roseville is a fully developed, first-ring suburb in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Located just north of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Roseville is the only community that shares common borders with both major cities. The community is well connected to the regional transportation system with direct access to Interstate-35W and Highway 36. Metro Transit has a transit hub in Roseville making both regional downtowns accessible via bus. In addition, the A Line BRT and the Northeast Corridor, a studied rapid transit route, runs through the community. (See attached Location Map.) Roseville is 14.7 square miles and has an estimated population of 33,882 34,719 (2005 2014 State Demographer estimate). The community is approximately 30 percent industrial and commercial uses, which have generally occurred in the northwestern quadrant of the city (west of Snelling and north of Highway 36). This includes two large tank farms, regional shopping centers (Rosedale and HarMar Mall), and a mix of other manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation service facilities. Over the last 20 years, development and redevelopment in proximity to I-35W has been oriented toward office and light industrial flex space. Housing in Roseville is dominated by single-family homes. Most of the homes in Roseville were constructed from the 1950s to the 1970s and many of them are still occupied by the original owners. The City Council has recently enacted a 90-day moratorium (set to expire April 30) on single-family residential lot splits to study the impact of subdividing existing single-family lots into two or more parcels. Much of the new housing that has been constructed over the last five thirty years has been age- restricted units, although infill development of single-family homes has also been steady. Senior housing projects, both including condominiums and, cooperatives, and assisted living, have been developed and continue to be proposed in Roseville.
