RPCA Attachment B ComprehensivePlanUpdate City of Roseville, Minnesota 1. Introduction The City of Roseville is requesting a proposal 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, 2008 2018. 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. The City of Roseville is requesting proposals from three consulting teams based on the qualification submitted through the City’s Request for Qualification’s Process. 2. Comprehensive Plan Elements Roseville’s existing Comprehensive Plan is approximately 1,500 pages, which includes a large volume of appendices that may or may not have been adopted into the plan. Generally, the City is in need of guidance as to the structure of the Comprehensive Plan as well as updating the goals and policies within each section. Our desired outcome is to createa document that will be easily usable and understandable by elected officials, staff, residents, and developers. Our desired outcome is to improve upon a document that will be easily usable and understandable by elected officials, staff, residents, and developers.Each section of the existing Comprehensive Plan is in need of differing levels of revision, ranging from full rewrites to that of minor edits and improved formatting consistency.; City staff has reviewed each of the chapters in the existing plan and has identified sections that require consultant-led assistance. (This was a cursory analysis and it is anticipated that upon review of the existing plan, each consulting team will provide its insight as to the best method to implement plan revisions.) The following describes the extent to which staff anticipates the need for consultant assistance in revision for upgating each section of the plan. Moreover, all updates should account for changes in physical development and community preferences over the past decade, and the goals and policies in these elements should be developed through a lens of intentionally seeking to improve equity, health, and the ability to adapt to climate change.
