AttachmentD land use” states that Twin Lakes should not be developed with shopping being the primary focus, there is nothing limiting, restricting, or prohibiting shopping from becoming a use within Twin Lakes, especially a 14 acre development within the greater 275 acre redevelopment area. The Community Development Department further finds no mention of big-box or large-format retail within the discussion points and general information within District 10 and concludes that such a use would be permitted. EDRGP CONOMIC EVELOPMENT AND EDEVELOPMENT OALS AND OLICIES Goal 1: Foster economic development and redevelopment in order to achieve Roseville’s vision, create sustainable development, and anticipate long-term economic and social changes. The Community Development Department finds that as this goal is more of a vision for the whole City and the wording is describing more of an approach, that this is not applicable to the zoning code per se. However, the Community Development Department finds that the zoning ordinance and regulating plan for Sub-Area 1 in Twin Lakes has incorporated many of the nuances indicated in the City’s vision. Policy 1.1: Use planning studies to evaluate options and to establish plans for reinvestment, revitalization, and redevelopment of key areas and corridors. The Community Development Department finds that this policy is a planning exercise and not applicable to the development of a Walmart within Twin Lakes. Policy 1.2: Ensure that local controls allow for contemporary retail, office, and industrial uses that are part of the community vision. The zoning ordinance adopted in December of 2010 incorporated a number of design elements to address many of the nuances discussed in the community’s vision both generally for the whole City and specifically for the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area. Policy 1.3: Encourage an open dialogue between project proposers, the surrounding neighborhood, and the broader community through individual and neighborhood meetings and use of technology. When projects are permitted under the zoning ordinance, it is difficult for the Community Development Department to pick and choose which projects should or should not be encouraged to offer such a meeting. Since the Community Development Department finds that the retail use is not limited, restricted, or prohibited under the CMU district, the Department has no regulation to utilize to require such a meeting, even if for educational purposes. The Community Development Department has modified the zoning ordinance to require such meetings for certain application processed and/or land use requests. However, permitted uses are not required to conduct such meetings. Policy 1.4: Enhance communication of the community’s objectives for promoting business development to enhance the quality of life in Roseville. The Community Development Department finds that while more can be always be done to support this policy, lack of resources have limited the City’s ability to undertake this task. 10 Page20of27
