The Public Participation Plan for the City of Roseville serves as a comprehensive guide for incorporating public input into decision-making processes, particularly for the Planning Commission. Its core objectives are to notify the public of opportunities for comment, promote understanding of the Planning Commission's processes, maintain open communication between the public and city agencies, and ensure public questions and concerns are addressed. The plan details various proactive engagement methods, such as public hearings, meetings, surveys, focus groups, community workshops, and visioning sessions, alongside routine communication strategies. The overarching aim is to build community consensus, strengthen civic pride, enrich democracy, and lead to more effectively planned development and smoother approval processes.
