80% of Roseville apartments have one or two bedrooms. Roseville’s <br />population is aging, with more seniors, and fewer K-12 students. The <br />affordable “bedroom-vacancy-for-children” remains within the existing <br />ramblers, which are the most affordable detached housing stock in the <br />community. <br />Why is this good public policy? <br />b. Attracting and keeping younger families <br />within the city can help to balance the effects of the overall aging <br />population in Roseville. As the population ages there is an impact on <br />which services are provided by the City, school districts, and merchants. <br />The “market” changes. Is the City prepared to support higher costs <br />associated with emergency services? (Over 50% of emergency room visits <br />by ambulance are from those residents over 55). Does the City need to <br />expand or simple maintain a focus on family oriented park space and <br />recreational programming with the expanding senior populations? Also, <br />as school enrollment declines, so does funding. This creates the need to <br />cut school programming, teachers, and schools. One of Roseville’s best <br />quality of life features is its quality, award winning schools. Are the home <br />owners prepared to absorb declining housing values as schools decline in <br />enrollment and academic variety? The social fabric or engagement <br />process is bolstered through our schools and volunteer programs. An <br />opportunity exists to assist young families to locate and stay within the <br />community by starting out in the affordable multi family housing stock, <br />then moving to the affordable rambles as they become available. <br />Action Steps <br />c.: <br />support the addition of playground <br />i.Develop a program to <br />equipment <br /> in densely populated apartment complex areas. <br />1.Budget Impacts: TBD <br />2.
