and supported by the most recent growth in senior population, there is a demand for at least 800 additional senior housing units. The McCarrons Plan study area has over 100 multifamily units. The proposed project will provide the basis for future redevelopment and a system of connections between existing and new housing, essential services and employment through transit linkages and public pathways. This proposal is consistent with the surrounding uses and the objectives approved in the City Comprehensive Plan to provide a mix of different housing choices (Life Cycle Housing). As a part of the City and RHRA program to encourage choice and opportunity in housing, the developers of this project must agree to market and promote this senior housing project to Roseville residents for at least 60 days prior to marketing to the broader community. This has effectively been done through area faith based and senior organizations such as churches and senior centers. The developer must also agree to participate in the Senior Housing Regeneration Program (SHRP) which provides a link between single family homes being vacated by seniors and purchased by first time buyers. The developer must promote the SHRP as part of the project sales program and include information regarding the program to each potential purchaser or renter in the project. 12.Parking: The redevelopment of Guptil site should minimize the surface parking area to reduce lot coverage when possible. Underground or in building parking is encouraged for multiple residential developments to maintain as much green space and pervious surface as possible. On street parking is not to be encouraged. Shared parking and driveway access between the Galilee Church and Guptil site should be encouraged if feasible. 13.Public Open Space/Trails: Any redevelopment within the study area should incorporate public open spaces and connectivity to existing and new neighborhood and trail systems. Public access should be provided to and from all open space areas. Appropriate landscaping and street trees will be provided in all public roadway areas and trails consistent with the City of Roseville Street Tree Master Plan. The existing pond at the Guptil site should be enhanced and include a walking path with benches to the benefit of the new residents. In addition, easements should be provided for a pathway between the Guptil site, the Church and the Armory. 14.Quality Design Standards: It is critical that the first phase of development set the standard for quality and innovative design that will be carried out throughout the entire study area as redevelopment occurs. The designs are to be residential and human scale with the mass and height of buildings to match the context of the existing construction where possible. DRAFT MARCH 10, 2004 13
