31 guidelines for redevelopment predicated on pedestrian connectivity and form-based 32 development. The Regulating Plan will replace the Twin Lakes Urban Design Principles, 33 since the earlier document acts more as a checklist and/or guideline to follow and is not a 34 set of specific, enforceable requirements. 35 1.5 On May 25, 2011, the Planning Division conducted the Public Meeting regarding the 36 Twin Lakes Regulating Plan.

Prior to the public meeting, 38 the Planning Division and Consultant met with the property owners within the Twin 39 Lakes Area and/or their representatives to review the Regulating Plan and discuss the 4O ideas for Twin Lakes. Owners asked a number of questions regarding the Regulating 41 Plan and did voice some concerns regarding the initial proposal. 42 1.6 A few of the main points made by property owners within Twin Lakes (or their 43 representatives) is that the proposal is geared more towards zoning (regulating) for a 44 vision and not the market.

Residents also agreed the park was important and making 55 connections was appropriate. 56 1.9 On June 15, 011, the Roseville Planning Commission held a special meeting/public 57 hearing regarding the proposed Regulating Plan for the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. 58 1.10 At this meeting the City Planner and the Planning Division's Consultant, Michael Lamb, 59 presented to Commissioners and the public the proposed Regulating Plan, complete with 60 detailed text amendments.
