What is a Comprehensive Plan?

The 2040 Comprehensive Plan is a document that is a tool for guiding the growth, redevelopment, and overall improvement of the City. While the most recognized part of the Comprehensive Plan is its land use plan, the plan also includes goals, objectives, and strategies that direct actions related to housing, economic development, transportation, parks, trails, open space, environmental protection, and utilities. To meet state law and to ensure that the Comprehensive Plan is reflective of the community’s vision and current trends, the Comprehensive Plan is updated every 10 years. The most recent Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2020, looks out to 2040.

What role does the Comp Plan have in shaping Roseville's future?

The current plan aims to do the following:

• Create and sustain the elements that define Roseville’s character, heritage, and identity.
• Influence the economic health of the community by attracting new investment and guiding it to proper locations and by protecting existing investments through the promotion of strong residential neighborhoods and business districts.
• Shape the future of municipal government by identifying needed public improvements that facilitate and sustain development.
