Roseville HRA’s Recommendation regarding Rental Housing and Housing Change in Roseville Adopted by the HRA Boar d on February 21, 2006 The HRA discussed several optio ns associated with the rent al licensing ordinance and is recommending the delay in action on the establishment of a rent al licensing program to more fully evaluate the affects of the Council adop ted Roseville Housing Maintenance Code. The HRA is willing, with Council support to reallo cate the HRA budget for re ntal licensing to fund necessary contracted inspecti on staff to successfully help address the increase in code compliance generated by the Housing Maintenance Code. In addition, the HRA is seeking City Council support in the establ ishment of a Citizen Advisory Group to more fully revi ew and study the issues associ ated with rental properties including the review of Rosevi lle’s draft ordinance, evaluati on of data and complaints, and seek additional public comment from neig hbors living next to rental housing, peopl e living in rental housing and landlords. The group could includ e key stakeholders such as residents concerned about rental housing, rental owners, renters and a repr esentative from Northwestern College. This process, funded by the HRA, would help bring th e community and stakeholders together to prepar e options that work for all parties. The HRA is also seeking Council’s support to participate in the Council visi oning process regarding housing issues in Ro seville. The housing component of the visioning process would address affordability, neighborhood balance, lif e cycle housing, and diversity. Subjects to study and address could include neighborhood ch anges, lot size standards, redevelopment standards, infill development, desi gn standards, open space, etc.
