The code drafting process relies heavily on the Planning Staff, Planning Commission and consultant Suzanne Rhees, who has extensive knowledge in creating form-based and hybrid zoning ordinances, including work in Madison, Wisconsin and Saint Paul and Golden Valley, Minnesota. 1.8 As part of their proposal, The Cuningham Group also conducted background analysis of the current Roseville Zoning Ordinance and tied this analysis to thoughts and options for staff to consider. 1.9 A new code will help achieve the goals and objectives of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as well as eliminating the complexities, confusion and outdated references and requirements in the existing code.
