<br />---DRAFT--- <br /> <br />4. Housing Types and Affordability <br /> <br />Participants frequently cited two issues with regard to housing and the households that live in <br />them: 1) there is isn't enough variety in housing types, floor plans and sizes for the range of <br />needs and lifestyles of contemporary households; and 2) individuals and families are not <br />finding housing prices that match their financial needs and considerations as they go through <br />their IifecycIes. Participants identified several impacts from the limited number of choices: <br />. Seniors do not move out of their houses - they" age in place" <br />. Young families do not move to rejuvenate neighborhoods <br />. Growing families and/ or families wanting to invest more money in their homes move out <br />of RoseviIIe <br />. School districts experience declining enrollment and have greater difficulty in planning <br />for future programs and facilities <br /> <br />5. Tensions Between Single-family Residential Land Use and Other Land Uses <br /> <br />Participants identified tensions between single-family residential land uses and other land uses, <br />particularly group homes, larger multi-family complexes and commercial/ industrial buildings. <br /> <br />The sources of tension surrounding group homes include daily operations, such as delivery <br />trucks, staff parking, and staff shift changes. There also are perceptions that group homes are <br />clustering in certain areas of the City and that group homes, which have been remodeled for <br />this purpose, may not be attractive to single-families when they are sold. <br />With regard to multi-family housing, participants noted that large complexes become physical <br />and social islands in the neighborhood. Participants identified several factors that contributed to <br />this sense of separation: <br />. there is little communication or social interaction between those who live in the apartment <br />buildings and those who live in surrounding single-family homes; and <br />. the police do not patrol parking lots often enough, which lowers the sense of security felt <br />by residents and managers. <br /> <br />Single-family residents also feel impacted by commercial and industrial land uses. In some <br />instances, it is a matter of inadequate buffering, such as plantings or screening, between the <br />functional backsides of buildings and single-family residences. In other cases, environmental <br />factors, such as air and noise pollution, or business operations have a negative impact on <br />residential uses. These impacts can be exacerbated in neighborhoods that border on another <br />city where they have little influence. <br /> <br />6. City's Code- Education, Enforcement, and Communications <br /> <br />Participants raised several questions and issues regarding the City's role and responsibilities <br />with regard to housing-related issues. In several meetings, this portion of the discussion took <br />the form of information sharing sessions where citizens posed questions and city staff provided <br />factual information or clarification. Questions often centered on practical matters such as cars, <br /> <br />Roseville RHRA Conmmnity Dialogne on Honsing ---DRAFT --- <br />Prepared by the Center for Policy, Planning, and Performance <br /> <br />4 <br />
