Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 11, 2013 Page 17 sired for development in the Twin Lakes area to provide clear direction for devel- opers and staff. Mayor Roe referenced previous discussions held at the September 18, 2012, not- ing that those meeting minutes and RCA had been added to the electronic packet materials on Friday,but may not have reached everyone. Councilmember Willmus noted that over the last thirty (30) years, this area had been studied, focus-grouped, and guided by numerous documents specific to the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area, some no longer guiding development. Coun- cilmember Willmus expressed his reluctance to continue down that road unless a discussion ensued at the City Council level regarding acquisition of those proper- ties, allowing for a broader discussion of how it was going to be used. Coun- cilmember Willmus advised that one part of the discussion favored by him would be how Community Mixed Use and Community Business Zoning Districts had been defined and potential implications for other areas of the community with similar zoning designations. Councilmember McGehee concurred with Councilmember Willmus' initial re- marks in the terms of range; however, she further supported the community's in- terest in a broader tax base. Councilmember McGehee opined that most of the community did not consider Wal-Mart a Community Mixed Use unless it was an urban model with housing above it; however, now that it was here, it set a tenor and brought issues for the rest of the area. Councilmember McGehee opined that it was appropriate for the City Council to formulate a broad plan for the rest of the properties, and while not seeking to generate a small-scale, low-end Rosedale, she saw it developing as such with the zoning done to-date. Councilmember McGe- hee opined that she never saw that as a goal for Twin lakes, nor would it serve to enhance the City's tax base in any way. Councilmember McGehee advised that she had never been a fan of the regulating map; and still didn't think it fit with a Wal-Mart development. If the City pursued a hands-off model, Councilmember McGehee suggested it go to the marketplace and state what the City needed, what it would like in the community, and then put the Planned Unit Development (PUD) tool back into the Zoning Code and let the marketplace come forward with its interesting ideas instead of rigid, top down management, and let the develop- ment community be proactive versus reactive to that broad outline. Councilmem- ber McGehee further opined that consideration needed to be given to development of the City's tax base, and environmental standards that could be enhanced through use of a PUD process, especially around Langton Lake, shared parking ramps by buildings to allow more green space. If the City did not acquire the par- cels, Councilmember McGehee noted the need for compliance with Environment Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and/or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) re- quirements regarding permeable surfaces, trails, pathways, and park buffers, in addition to regular business hours, minimal traffic generation, housing, and com- munity mixed use in consideration of the surrounding area as well. Councilmem- ber McGehee stated that this was what she was hearing in the community; and
