Environmental Review In June 2006 the City Council authorized the preparation of an LJpdated Twin Lakes Alternative Urban Area Wide Review (AUAR). At the September 18, 2006 Council meeting, the Council directed staff to proceed with the Updated AUAR and to retain Dahlgren, Shardlow & Uban (DSU) as the consulting firm to complete the update. Mn Rules prohibit final governmental decision to grant a permit, approve a project or begin a project tmtil the City adopts the AUAR environmental analysis document and the plan for mitigation. Rezonin� Application (Sheets RZ 1.0 - RZ 4.0) We are requesting the City of Roseville rezone the Twin Lakes West project area from Light Industrial (I1) and General Industrial (I2) districts to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with an Lmderlying zoning of Mixed Use Business Park District (B-6). Sheet RZ 2.0 illustrates the existing zoning of the project area as Light Industrial (I1) and General Industrial (I2). Sheet RZ 3.0 illustrates the proposed zoning of the project area as Mixed Use Business Park District, B-6. The 2003 Comprehensive Plan designates the project area as Business Park (BP) and lists the corresponding zoning as B-6 and PUD. The project area is within Planning District 10, which further describes the intended uses to include office and housing near Langton Lake. The 2001 Twin Lakes Business Park Master Plan suggests the zoning replicate the Centre Pointe project with underlying zoning of B-4 or B-6. The existing Industrial zoning of the project area is in conflict with the 2003 Comprehensive Plan and 2001 Twin Lakes Business Park Master Plan. The uses shown on the subinitted plan are allowed under the BP designation and the B-6 zoning. General Concept PUD (Sheets GC 1.0- GC 4.0) Chapter 1008 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the necessary infonnation and process for review and approval of a PUD. The B-6 Zoning District requires the completion of a PUD. The City has a two-tier process for PUD's: General Concept PUD and Final Development PUD, which may be processed simultaneously. The Twin Lakes West General Concept PUD site plan incorporates a variety of uses, including a miniinum of 640 housing units, up to 500,000 square feet of office use, and a 6,300+ square foot restaurant. The housing options include:
