City of Roseville ORDINANCE NO. 1521 AN INTERIM ORDINANCE TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING MINOR SUBDIVISIONS OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY 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 Minor Subdivision requests as defined within Title 11 of Roseville City Code. The City desires to regulate requests for residential minor subdivisions (divisions of land that result in three lots or fewer), in a manner that is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Due to the conceptual nature of the Minor Subdivision process, and limitations to codified submission requirements, the City recognizes that certain protections may not be thoroughly vetted at the time an application requires City Council approval. 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 revised regulations are necessary to ensure that all subdivisions, especially Minor Subdivisions as defined in City of Roseville's existing Subdivision Code, adequately address concerns pertaining to water run-off, drainage, and lot design. 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 revised regulations can be adopted. SECTION 2: Prohibition Pursuant to State Statutes 462.355, the City hereby adopts and approves this interim ordinance temporarily prohibiting requests for Minor Subdivisions as defined in Roseville City Code Title 11 across the entire City. During the effective period of this interim ordinance, the City will not accept any application for Minor Subdivisions. All requests for Minor Subdivision applications received prior to the effective date of this ordinance will remain valid and continue forward in the review and approval process normally.
