property owners to invest in communities where the codes and inspections are �ot monitored. d. In 2001-2002 Roseville studied and later created a Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA} to focus on housing issues. In 2003-2004 the HRA and the Community Development Department completed the Roseville Multi-Family Housing Study that provided insight into multi- family housing, where it is located, who lives there, how affordable it is, the tax value and physical condition. £ In 2005, the HRA completed a process to review neighborhood housing issues through a series of educational meetings as well as neighborhood meetings. Throu�h the nei�hbo�'b,AOd meetines the most common issue that was heard was the increase in sin�le familv rental probertv and deferred maintenance. Residents were loolcing to the Citv to resolve these issues and protect their nei�hborhood and property investment. This has helped the HRA understand the issues and determine the best, most effective approach to maintenance and rental housing issues. 2.2 From all those study meetings came a concept of "housing preservation" and code changes that are intended to: 1) Provide housin� maintenance re�ulation for ��I units through the adoption of a Housing Maintenance Code — International Property Maintenance Code with amendments (Attachment A— Draft Section 906 of the City Code, and Attachment C). • This would provide the authority to conduct exterior onlv maintenance regulation for owner occupied single family housing units and other property and would enhance the existing nuisance ordinance (Section 407 of existing City Code), improving the street appeal and value within Roseville's neighborhoods. 2) Provide a rental licensin� re�ulation and applicationprocess for rental units including sin� family, duplexes. triplexes and fau.rplexes through the adoption of a Rental Licensing Ordinance (Attachment B— Draft Section 907 of the City Code). • This would provide the authorityto inspect the exterior & interior of rental properties of 4 units or less to ensure that they are in compliance with City Codes including the proposed Property Maintenance Code.
