• � 5.5 The professional office campus concept is not as desirable to McGough as the corporate campus. However, it is an option that allows redevelopment to proceed forward should a corporate campus tenant not be secured by McGough. A professional office campus will also be better able to incorporate flexibility of building placement and perhaps better achieve a greater mix of the Urban Design Principles. 6.0 LAND USE/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 6.1 The City of Roseville's Comprehensive Plan currently designates the subject area as `BP- Business Park." Furthermore, the Minnesota Court of Appeals' August 10, 2006 ruling concluded that the City further amended the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the Twin Lakes Business Park Master Plan (attached as Exhibit A) in 2001. The Master Plan specifically states: "[this] new master plan amendment of 2001 will designate the areas as "BP" — Business Park." The 2001 Master Plan also includes four future land-use maps ("Options 2, 3 and 4" and the "Twin Lakes AUAR Future Land Use Scenario") and several pages of text describing future land-use scenarios and goals. 6.2 Staff has concluded (with the input of the City Attorney's Office), that the underlying Comprehensive Land Use Plan designation of the subject area is "BP — Business Park" in a manner that is conceptually consistent with the mix of uses and stated goals that are described in the maps and text of the 2001 Master Plan. 6.3 The uses envisioned within the Comprehensive Plan designation of "BP — Business Park" include: office, office-laboratory, office-showroom-warehousing, bio-technical, biomedical, high-tech software and hardware production uses with support services such as limited retail, health, fitness, lodging and multifamily housing. 6.4 Roseville's Mixed Use Business Park land use designation is defined as ".. . u hyb��id of a more typical industrial park with office park uses and a mix of service retail and housing tlzat would serve as a more livable campus setting. It is defined as a geographically identiftable area which contains an architecturally consistent mix of o�ce, office- laboratory, office-showroom-warehousing, biotechnical, biomedical, high-tech softwaf-e and hardware production uses with support services such as limited retail, health, fitness, lodging and multifamily housing. The Business Park has well planned roads, utilitie.r, ponding and communication systems. Parcels within a Business Park have access to an internal parkway 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- quality work and play environment by installation of extraordinary, architecturally distinct buildings, transit and transportation services, site planning, environmentally sensitive landscaping, parks, trails and lightirtg."
