Study Findings: As a fully developed first ring suburb, it is more likely that multi family housing will increase rather than single family housing. Approximately 190 units of multi family housing have been added in 2003-2004 since the data was collected for this study. Less than 1.5% (130 acres) of the land in Roseville is remaining to be developed for the first time. Of those 130 acres, 35% (45 acres) are planned for multi-family housing. This includes the number of acres planned to be redeveloped 'm Twin Lakes for multifamily housing. If 45 acres were developed for multifamily housing this could house over 1,200 new residents in Roseville. The City's housing goals of maintaining 40% multi-family and 60% detached single family mix is beginning to change as properties are redeveloped into more multifamily housing. b. Why is this good public policy? For various reasons many people choose to rent over own. This may be a life long choice. Those renters that are not short term should be tapped to contribute to the long term vitality of the community. Like single family neighborhood "eyes on the park", those who are more involved in multifamily complexes become "eyes on the complex". This helps to address possible conflicts before they become problems that require public services. Having all residents engaged in the community increases the quality of life for all residents. The HRA can act as a catalyst for many programs that support Roseville's renters. c. Possible Action Steps: i. Adopt a community pride statement and promotional package that can be presented to apartment owners for inclusion in their tenant information similar to the new resident packet. The educational campaign can include ways that a renter can become involved in their schools, city programs and area social gatherings. ii. Create a neighborhoodand\or rental ombudsman— a fazst key contact for new residents renting in the community iii. Invite the Crime Free Multi-Family Association to meet with the HRA Board and the fire and police departments to discuss possible joint ventures, especiallyrelated to life safety and disaster planning.
