Guiding Principles. The following principles are useful to guide in the planning and economic development efforts for the community as it pertains to housing. The guiding principles help orient discussion, analysis and decision-making regarding policies and strategies that are used to complete the Roseville Housing Improvement Plan. The Roseville Housing Improvement Plan: . is consistent with the comprehensive plan by providing a variety of housing for all residents; . encourages community self-reliance, collaboration with other housing providers and education to create and retain housing value; . uses expert "coaches" to start the programs; and • remains small and incremental, not creating large bureaucratic staff-driven programs. Section 3. Housing Goals. The City will consider the following four housing goals when evaluating current and future housing programs: l. Roseville will strive to provide a variety of housing types (owner occupied and rental) that balances affordability, maintains quality of housing and the urban environment, has access to public infrastructure, services and employment and enhances neighborhood viability. 2. Continuously strive to improve the quality of approximately 200 existing units which are below the average physical condition and less than 75 percent of the median value of housing units within the community (currently 55 single family and 160 multi-family units). Fill the gaps in the city's housing portfolio by providing housing for all stages of the life cycle such as the needs for entry level housing and more affordable senior housing. Specifically, assist in the provision of entry level family housing to regenerate the community, schools and our neighborhoods. Roseville Housing Improvement Plan Page 2
