Shore land Ordinal1ce/B-6 Zoning Ordinance Summary t~lin Lakes Mixed Use Redevelopment - Roseville, Minnesota Sanitmy Sewer Capacity/Water AdE;quacy/Stormwater System/Roadway Capacity February 10, 2005 Governn:zent Approvals Schedule/Site Plan Modifications Page 3 of7 B-6 Zoning Ordinance Rottlund Homes is proposing to rezone Phase I of the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area from I-I, 1-2, H- 1, and B-4 zoning classifications to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) with an underlying zoning of B- 6, Mixed Use Business Park District. This rezoning request is proposed to accommodate Rottlund's development plans for Phase 1. The Rottlund development plan consists of retail, restaurant, and office space, and a mix of residential units. Each of these land uses generally breaks down into the following categories: Land Use Building Square Footage Housing Units Acres of Land . (SF) Retail SPil-ce . 305,363 SF . 30-Acres Restaurants 26,200 SF Office Space 221,150 SF 10 Acres Condo 240 Units 30 Acres Lofts 240 Units Urban Townhomes 142 Units Gable Row Townhomes 108 Units Public infrastructure 10 Acres Comprehensive Plan In 2001, the City of Roseville amended its Comprehensive Plan for the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area to BP-Business Park. This land use designation is designed to reflect a business/office park environment with support and ancillaryland uses such as retail, health care, fitness, lodging, and multi-family housing. The Business Park land use is reserved for areas that will be master planned as one entity, and will incorporate infrastructure and amenities such as transit facilities, landscape design, park and trail systems, and aesthetic and security lighting. The Twin Lakes Master Plan was also completed in 2001 as a supplement to the City's Comprehensive Plan. The 2001 Master Plan was heavily dominated by office, medical, technology, medical campus, and hospital land uses. Most of these land uses are no longer supported by the marketplace and as a result, could not be expected to materialize in any reasonable timeframe. The City's attorney has concluded that the Twin Lakes Master Plan may be amended to reflect Rottlund's Phase I Plan without the need to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan. Zoning After reviewing the City's zoning categories, it is our opinion that the B-6, Mixed Use Business Park District, is most appropriate classification to both implement the City's Comprehensive Plan for the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area and also to accommodate the proposed Rottlund phase I development plan. The City's Zoning Code includes several residential categories ranging from the traditional R-l single- family district to the R-7 apartment park district. The focus of these zoning districts of course is to regulate the location and design of varying forums of residential land uses. The residential distri~ts will also allow land uses that most view as residential-compatible under varying forms of regulation. For example, daycare facilities are "permitted" uses in the R-l, R-2, R-4, and R-5 districts as are public parks, playgrounds, and other "low impact" public uses; all arguably, low impact, residentially compatible land uses.
