Full Breakdown
Section 1012.03 is Roseville's Shoreland Overlay District, and subsection (j) governs planned unit developments (PUDs) inside it. Its stated purpose is to protect and enhance the natural and scenic qualities of shoreland areas during and after development and redevelopment of high-density residential and commercial uses. A PUD is created through rezoning to an overlay district, and the applicant must submit a property owner's association agreement for residential PUDs, with mandatory membership, before final action on the application. Deed restrictions, covenants, permanent easements or similar instruments for open space must come in with it.
The design criteria then define how the association works. Membership attaches to each dwelling unit or dwelling site owner and any successive owner, so a later buyer joins automatically. Each member pays a pro rata share of the association's expenses, and unpaid assessments can become liens on units or dwelling sites. Assessments must be adjustable to accommodate changing conditions. The association itself carries responsibility for insurance, taxes, and maintenance of all commonly owned property and facilities.
The same subsection sets the physical frame the association manages: a residential PUD must contain at least five dwelling units or sites, and open space must make up at least 50 percent of the total project area. The open space instruments must prohibit commercial uses for residential PUDs, construction of additional buildings or storage of vehicles and other materials, and uncontrolled beaching of watercraft.
Separately, Section 1016.09 on PUD review asks the final plan submittal to include any deed restrictions, covenants, agreements, and articles of incorporation and bylaws of any proposed homeowner's association. The final plan application is due within 90 days of city council approval of the PUD concept plan unless the applicant asks in writing for an extension and the city council approves it. The community development department can waive items from the final plan submittal.
Violations & Fines
The association requirement works as a condition of PUD approval rather than a stand-alone offense. The application rule says the owner's association agreement must be submitted before final action on the request, so a residential PUD without one cannot move to final action. A PUD that cannot show an equally effective alternative community framework also fails the design criteria.
