Mr. Mullins noted tl�at one of the challenges facing the City is that a majority of the community's housing stock was built in the 1950's through 1970's, and that the community was heavily-weighted in one bedroom homes, impacting resale data. Mr. Mullins reviewed that resale data, specific to ramblers and 1-1/2 story homes, represenring 70% of all single-family home sales. Mr. Mullins suggested that the City consider pursuing successful ventures for private/public partnerships to assist developers with financial barriers for redevelopment. Mr. Mullins also noted that expanding current rambler housing stock by adding a second story may be prudent for those homes applicable to such remodeling. Based on the findings and challenges/opportuniries in the full report, Mr. Mullins su " addressing City development priorities that the City considers: 1) Affordable active adult senior housing community — currently no active adult s� �� i time; 2) Affordable family rental housing; 3) Market rate general occupancy rental housing (upscale market); ��, � 4) Availability of Section 8 housing vouchers — only 210 in City ng� "'' being issued that in at this community — some way to get more vouchers to serve as many a� �ossible. 5) Working with exisring properry owners for rehabilitatio�replace�t of those buildings — unforiunate deferred maintenance in evidence; r�� . 6) Owner-occupied (cooperarive preferred) active adult se �� 'n �'�"� 7) General occupancy for-sale townhomes for entty-level buye older adult/senior households; and 8) Reassess service-enhanced senior housing needs. Member Pust questioned if there was a stand� with Mr. Mullins responding that there was r substantial number for a community the size of �ouchers based on population; ver, opined that 210 was not a housing was always in demand. Mr. Mullins concluded his presentation by remi ' g members that housing projects attract residents from a wide geography, with 30-40% occupanc�'"�rom other suburban communiries; including adult children moving parent(s) in�c� ��r housing witlti�,�ir own community. Mr. Mullins further noted that while there may not,ap�i�� be a huge dem�iid for senior housing from Roseville residents, to remember that such ho��in� in ``" er-rin� subu�i would draw from a much wider area. Mr. Mullins would be forthcoming to the HRA and staff. Discussion included tren ock�down/rebuild housing, with such trends being more prevalent in suburbs s�ck� a� ��a and . is' Park, and other communities iniriating ordinances addressing how much, '�� "�� as allo�;�le on properties; and reiterated that in the future, additional second- story additions wo �, e in e�idence for inner-ring communities for current rambles, for those desiring �remain in their cu� ;, t communiries for convenience and/or quality of life issues. �.,�r discussio ��icluded whether a need for intergenerational housing was indicated, with Mr. M�o� ,�" opuung , t this type of housing was not being seen to a great eatent in MN at this time, and was ��„ E�Spean concept, but would be a great idea for the future. Addition� discussion included the rationale for continuing strong marketing and profitability for senior (55 and�over) housing, with luaury or rental housing being the concentrated market for for-profit developers; in addirion to faith-affiliated senior housing, with many of those faith based facilities having available land and willing to parcel some of it for senior housing, and also addressing that faith- based mission for serving seniors as they age (i.e., Presbyterian Homes and Ecumen). Mr. Mullins opined that faith-based remained the best private/public partnership for a community, as it subsidized the project via their donarion of the land, thereby reducing costs for the housing and addressing the service from their faith perspective to that senior generarion.
