Since the recent housing slowdown, however, the city has receivedrequests to expand the program to residential construction.
Community Development Director Rod Campbell is expected to comeback to the council later this month with a formal proposal for aresidential fee deferral program.
The Roseville City Council approved two similar fee deferralprograms for single-family residential builders in April.
