The City of Roseville has, over the past several years, been faced with requests for subdivision approval in the context of many differing permit approval processes.

The City recognizes that development and redevelopment as representedby subdivision requests that come before the City pose challenging questions that need to be examined due to the nature and extent of the particularrequests, the various and unique features of parts of the City, and questions relating to the goals that the City wishes to advance through regulation of the subdivision process. The intent of this moratorium is to provide the City a reasonable period of time to review existing land �se and development policies and proactively plan for future subdivision within the City of Roseville. During the moratorium period, the City will, through the Roseville Planning Commission, undertake a process to review its land use plan and objectives, its ordinances, and receive input and infomation as it deems appropriate and necessary to �et�rmi�e what type and form of subdivision regulation is best for the public health, safety and welfare of the community.
