will get an established neighborhood. mature trees and a <br />shorter commute. All i�i� brovides cost savings and more <br />��eli1� ti�rre with families. <br />2. Policy Statement: Achieve a balance between families with school-aged <br />children and seniors in multifamily housing and the appropriate distribution of <br />acceptable units compatible with each unique lifestyle. <br />a. Study Findings: The study indicates that there is an increasing number of <br />our older population within multifamily housing; and, the City's 1998 <br />Senior Study found that seniors tend to stay and age in place — only 10% <br />to 15% actually move into exclusively senior or assisted care facilities. <br />However, many of the smaller more affordable multi-family complexes do <br />not include the school-aged child resources such as play grounds, learning <br />facilities and bedroom size. With improved accessibilityand code <br />compliance, more seniors could occupy these affordable units. More than <br />80% of Roseville apartments have one or two bedrooms. Roseville's <br />population is aging, with more seniors, and fewer K-12 students. The <br />affordable "bedroom-vacancy-for-children"remains within the existing <br />ramblers, which are the most affordable detached housing stock in the <br />community. <br />b. Why is this good public policy? Attracting and keeping younger families <br />within the city can help to balance the effects of the overall aging <br />population in Roseville. As the population ages there is an impact on <br />which services are provided by the City, school districts, and merchants. <br />The "market" changes. Is the City prepared to support higher costs <br />associated with emergency services? (Over 50% of emergency room visits <br />by ambulance are from those residents over 55). Does the City need to <br />expand or simple maintain a focus on family oriented park space and <br />recreational programming with the expanding senior populations? Also, <br />as school enrollment declines, so does funding. This creates the need to <br />cut school programming, teachers, and schools. One of Roseville's best <br />quality of life features is its quality, award winning schools. Are the home <br />owners prepared to absorb declining housing values as schools decline in <br />enrollment and academic variety? The social fabric or engagement <br />process is bolstered through our schools and volunteer programs. An <br />opportunity exists to assist young families to locate and stay within the <br />community by starting out in the affordable multi family housing stock, <br />then moving to the affordable rambles as they become available. <br />Possible Action Steps: - evaluated annually for implementation within <br />budget resources <br />i. Develop a program to support the addition of playground <br />equipment in densely populated apartment complex areas. <br />ROSEVILLE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REPORT - DRAFT I�7 �� Page 24 <br />
