The proposed Walmart will be required to meet these standards and regulations as a component of their building permit approval.

The Community Development Department finds that the zoning ordinance contains a tree preservation ordinance that specifically addresses this policy statement.

Policy 4.4: Existing and future development of business and industry, shopping, transportation, housing, entertainment, leisure, and recreation opportunities shall be in harmony with the commitment Roseville has made to its environment and quality of life, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Community Development Department finds that the zoning ordinance has established numerous standards to address this policy statement. The construction of a Walmart within the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area will be required to meet all requirements of the zoning ordinance, including those associated with the commitment to environment, walkability, and other quality of life considerations.
