Zoning Ordinanee Update Request for Qualifications City of Roseville, Minnesota 1. Introduction Attachment A The City of Roseville is seeking qualifications from consulting teams experienced in the creation and revision of municipal zoning codes. The City has not undertaken a comprehensive rewriting of its zoning code since its adoption in May 1959. Over the last 50 years, innumerable revisions have been cobbled on to the original ordinance; however, the cumulative effect of this process is the creation of a code that is difficult to understand and often cumbersome to administer. A copy of the existing zoning code can be found at ww��.ci.roseville.mn.us/DocumentView.as�?DID=46. The goal of this project is to have a zoning code that: ■ Promotes high quality residential renovation and development, creative infill projects, and innovative commercial and industrial redevelopment to allow the community to prosper into the future ■ Advances the City's efforts to become a more environmentally sustainable community ■ Integrates design standards through all zoning districts ■ Creates a code that is can be understood by the general public, administrable by City staff and elected officials, and is constant with the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan To achieve these goals, the City anticipates that the zoning code must undergo a significant revision, including reorganization of the code, creation of new zoning districts, amendments to existing districts, and an overhaul of the environmental management sections. As part of this updating process, the City would like to explore the use of form-based or a hybrid code in order to better regulate design and land use within several of the future land use categories. As part of its 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the City has created several new future land use categories including Community Mixed Use, Neighborhood Commercial, Community Commercial, Regional Commercial, and Office. As defined, these new categories shift the City's future land use focus from a description of use to a description of development scale and form. As Roseville is located within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Council, the City must make its zoning code consistent with its adopted plan within nine months of its final approval; final approval of the Comprehensive Plan is expected to occur during spring 2009. 2. General Scope of Services The scope of the project can be summarized in to three main categories: ■ General review of the Zoning Code ■ Code revision and development ■ Code adoption process A detailed scope of services will be provided as part of the request for proposal process.
