REQUEST FOR HRA ACTION Date: 4-20-10 Item No: 8.a. Staff Approval: Agenda Section: PT Action/Discussion Item Description: Rental Licensing Update (HF0036) B ACKGROUND In 2008, the City of Roseville adopted an ordinance which required registration for properties being rented and had between 1 to 4 units. For the 2008-2009 registration period, 339 housing units registered with the City as being offered to rent. For 2009-2010, 390 units registered with the City. A comparison of each time period and the type of units is below: 20092010 # of units # of units Type of Unit SF-1 unit 139141 Duplex5544 Triplex64 Quad05 Condo132157 Townhome 718 Twin Home 019 2 residences on one parcel 02 Total339390 It should be noted that the increase in the number of units being rented in Roseville may not necessarily reflect a trend of more units being converted to rental. A contributing factor in the increase can also be as a result of greater outreach by staff and greater awareness of landlords of the City’s registration requirement. Roseville continues to see more condos being rented than single- family homes. Attachment A shows the distribution of properties that have between 1-4 units that are being rented throughout the City for the 2009-2010 period. As was true last year, the map indicates that the single-family homes which are being rented are fairly spread out through the City. There is a small cluster of rental single-family homes around Northwestern College and another small cluster of single-family rentals between Hamline and Lexington, between County Road C and C2. The exhibit also show a tendency for single-family homes along major arterials (County Roads and State Highways) to be rented. The condos though are concentrated in certain areas, probably more due to the fact that these are associated with higher-density developments that are only allowed in certain parts of the City.
