Roseville, CA Zoning Overlays & Bonuses: Downtown Design Guide (2026)

31 establishes the Downtown Specific Plan Downtown Code as the zoning and design document for the city's downtown. 020 defines the downtown specific plan area as a 176-acre area encompassing historic old town, Vernon Street, and Royer and Saugstad Parks, with the full boundary set out in the Downtown Specific Plan itself. 31 by reference as though fully set out; a copy is kept for public review at the City's Planning Division and posted on the city's website. 010 describes what the Downtown Code covers: permitted and conditionally permitted uses by zone district, prescriptive development standards for setbacks, height, parking, and floor area ratio, design guidelines for buffers, landscaping, and entry monumentation, downtown-specific entitlement processes that differ from the rest of the city, downtown sign regulations, area-wide incentives, and parcel-specific considerations.

040 makes the Downtown Code the controlling document over the general Municipal Code wherever the two conflict, but the citywide code still governs any downtown topic the Downtown Code does not address.
