t��' � REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION nt Approval Item Description: Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area Discussion INTRODUCTION Date: 02/20/2014 Item No.: 14.a Ciry Manager Approval ��....-��..�._ For the past few weeks the Planning Division has taken the City Council's comments and direction and attempted to create a framework with which to continue our discussion, while taking care not to remove too much of what is already allowed. Since the overall goal of Twin Lakes is a mix of uses, identifying select areas for specific uses or "focused use" tends to narrow the field of choices, which can limit property owner's options in a difficult market place. Such narrowing also may impact existing uses that, given current building age or tenant leases, may out live the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Given the Council's direction, the Ciry Planner has created a revised map and 5 distinct Community Mixed Use (CMU) Districts, and has made refinements to the use table in order to broaden and/or clarify certain uses. The proposal also eliminates the High Density land use and zoning designations along the north side of Terrace Drive in favor of a more flexible CMU district. The following proposal attempts to balance Ciry Council desires with the more flexible Twin Lakes mixed-use approach and incorporates real-life issues and/or concerns expressed over the past couple of years.
