• • 5.6 Roseville's Mixed Use Business Park land use designation is defined as "... a hybrid ofa more rypical industrial park with offrce park uses and a mix of service retail and housing that would serve as a more /ivable campzrs setting. It is defined as a geographically identifiable area which contains arr architecturally consistent mix of office, office- laboratory, office-showroom-warehozrsing, biotechnical, biomedical, high-tech software and hardware production uses with support services such as limited retail, health, fitness, lodging and multifamily housing. The Business Park has well �lanned roads, utilities, ponding and communication systems. Parcels within a Business Park have nccess to an internal parkrvay and/or external County minor arterials as well as access to the Interstate Highway System. Emphasis is placed on creating a unique, safe and high-qualiry work and play environment by installation of extraordinary, architecturally distinct buildings, transit and transportation services, site plarrning, environmentally sensitive landscaping, parks, trails and lighting." Source: Adopted Twin Lakes Master Plan (June 2001), Page 1. 5.7 It should be noted that staff draws a distinction between this property and other properties that are more interior to the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area for several reasons: 5.7.1 While the Twin Lakes Master Plan calls for a mixture of uses throughout the area (as evidenced by maps contained within the Master Plan showing a number of permutations of uses on most individual sites) - all of the maps and descriptions contained within the Twin Lakes Business Park Master Plan, identify the subject property solely as "multi-family housing;" 5.7.2 The subject property is physically separated from the remainder of the Twin Lakes area by more than 250 feet of park land; 5.7.3 Due to this isolation, the subject property is more able to rely on single-site oriented public improvements (such as roads, water, sanitary sewer, etc.) rather than being fully integrated into the public improvements associated with the Twin Lakes Master Plan area; SJ.4 The subject property, in the opinion of staff, has always been viewed as a '`transitional" area between the high intensity Twin Lakes area and the low- density single-family residential area to the north. 5.8 For the reasons listed above (in 5.7), staff has not reviewed the application in the same context as we might review applications in the Twin Lakes area. As an example, there is as much (or perhaps more) of a need for the site design to provide a transition from the single-family neighborhood than to follow strict design guidelines intended to integrate it with the future high-intensity uses anticipated in the Twin Lakes area. 5.9 While there is a"Langton Lake Park Master Plan" (which includes the subject property) that was officially adopted by the City Council in 1986, that plan is not included in Roseville's Comprehensive plan.
