84 The relevant objections to the proposal stem primarily from three subject areas: the feeling that the <br />85 immediate neighborhood should remain exclusively detached homes; the opinion that the broader <br />86 neighborhood already includes too much attached and multifamily housing; and the concern that new <br />87 development would worsen existing drainage issues in the area. Roseville’s Engineering staff has been <br />88 working with neighborhood residents to address existing storm water issues and, in the attached memo, <br />89 the City Engineer notes the proposed development likely would not worsen the problem nor is it <br />90 positioned such that its storm water management BMPs can help address the existing issues. With <br />91 respect to the concerns over residential densities in the area, there are medium-and high-density <br />92 dwellings within about a quarter-mile of the site in both directions along Old Highway 8, but it is <br />93 important not to conflate the proposed development with townhomes and apartments. In contrast with <br />94 these more dense developments, this proposal represents a low-density development type, most similar <br />95 to the duplexes and twin homes just 600 feet from the site, which are well below the eight-dwellings- <br />96 per-acre permitted in the LDR district. <br />97 P OLICY O BJECTIVES <br />98 <br />99 and retains a diverse mix of people, family types, economic statuses,ages,and so on. <br />100 Explore <br />101 <br />102 demographics of the City), and opportunities to address the lack of housing in the “missing <br />103 middle” styles. <br />104 B UDGET I MPLICATIONS <br />105 Acquisition of park dedication funds.
