ii.Identify more thoroughly the multi family complexes with <br />deferred maintenance issues <br /> and where renovation permits have <br />not been issues in over 10 years. Target these complexes by <br />hosting HRA meetings with the owners and managers. Discuss the <br />issues and offer improvement incentive funds available by the <br />HRA, County and State programs. <br />iii.Explore the establishment of a more formalized multifamily owner <br /> improvement area program <br />occupied housing for townhome and <br />condominium complexes. These ownership multifamily housing <br />complexes and their associations may not have sufficient fund <br />balances to address large maintenance issues. The large increase in <br />dues may be a significant financial burden on those with lower <br />and/or fixed incomes. Contact the association presidents and <br />managers to more fully understand the issues and costs of <br />improvements with them to develop a program and procedures for <br />application and approval. <br />Policy Statement: <br />4. More fully engage multifamily rental population to become <br />fully vested in the community by using existing public services, through <br />volunteerism, participation in after-school and athletic programs, recreation <br />programs, voting and recycling programs. <br />Study Findings: <br />a. As a fully developed first ring suburb, it is more likely <br />that multi family housing will increase rather than single family housing. <br />Approximately 190 units of multi family housing have been added in <br />2003-2004 since the data was collected for this study. Less than 1.5% (130 <br />acres) of the land in Roseville is remaining to be developed for the first <br />time. Of those 130 acres, 35% (45 acres) are planned for multifamily <br />housing. This includes the number of acres planned to be redeveloped in <br />Twin Lakes for multifamily housing. If 45 acres were developed for <br />multifamily housing this could house over 1,200 new residents in <br />Roseville. The City’s housing goals of maintaining 40% multifamily and <br />60% detached single family mix is beginning to change as properties are <br />redeveloped into more multifamily housing. <br />Why is this good public policy <br />b.? For various reasons many people choose <br />to rent over own. This may be a life long choice. Those renters that are <br />not short term should be tapped to contribute to the long term vitality of <br />the community. Like single family neighborhood “eyes on the park”, those <br />who are more involved in multifamily complexes become “eyes on the <br />complex”. This helps to address possible conflicts before they become <br />problems that require public services. Having all residents engaged in the <br />community increases the quality of life for all residents. The HRA can act <br />as a catalyst for many programs that support Roseville’s renters. <br />ROSEVILLE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REPORT 10/19/04 APPENDIX <br /> <br />
