Roseville Zoning Code Update
HKGi was retained to implement key land use and policy changes from the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Plan initiatives that HKGi is codifying via ordinance include residential land use policies to change allowable housing densities in selected areas of the city; allow for new housing types; revise mixed-use requirements; and transition business districts to mixed-use districts.
HKGi’s planning process includes extensive stakeholder engagement with residents, business-owners, and land-owners throughout the city as well as for the Rice Street, Lexington / Larpenteur, and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) focus areas and with representatives from Roseville’s Business Council. Engagement for this project also has a special focus on achieving the City’s goals related to Racial Equity and Inclusion (REI) and Sustainability and Resilience (SR). To that effect, HKGi facilitated public workshops for each of the focus areas as well as two for the REI/SR goals.
The project involved two phases with phase 1 focused on updating the existing districts to be more flexible in the allowed uses and phase 2 focused on regulations related to sustainability.
Highlights
- Focus areas include the Rice Street Corridor, Larpenteur/Lexington, and the Har Mar Mall BRT Station Area
- Engagement regarding Racial Equity and Inclusion collected information regarding barriers, which will be used to inform ordinance revisions
- Sustainability and Resilience strategies address electric vehicle charging stations, wind and solar energy, leveraging stormwater BMPs to improve water quality, and incentivize green building and retrofitting

The zoning code update established ordinances to foster transit-supportive development along new Bus Rapid Transit lines, particularly in the Rosedale Mall area.
Key topics considered as part of the update process included Sustainability & Resilience and Equity & Inclusion. HKGi planners engaged stakeholders across the city to collect ideas related to these and other critical development topics.
