<br />TOWER PLACE BUSINESS PARK <br />GENERAL PLANNING ISSUES <br /> <br />LAND USE <br /> <br />Problem - Industrial and traffic impacts on office, retail, and areas have no "sense of place" or <br />cohesion. Many buildings are old, and are not consistent with new improvements on adjacent <br />sites, and do not meet today's codes and are not increasing in property value or tax value. It is <br />dominated by auto oriented activities and parking. <br /> <br />General Goal- To create positive land use relationships, create investments and improve <br />property values. <br /> <br />STRATEGY 1 <br /> <br />Encourage updated/redeveloped mixed industrial and commerciallbusiness uses. Improve access <br />to these areas and County roads while protecting office, retail, and residential areas from the <br />aspects of industry and retail traffic that disturb or disrupt the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Action I-A <br /> <br />Require redevelopment in phases with a number of parcels at one time. Utilize the <br />Planned Unit Developments which allow for site specific flexibility in redevelopment. <br /> <br />Action 1- B <br /> <br />Where feasible and meeting State standards and City policies, utilize tax increment <br />financing and other financial tools to assist property owners and developers to improve <br />their properties. <br /> <br />Action l-C <br /> <br />Restrict new industrial or redevelopment business/service vehicle access to County Roads <br />and private, internal driveway systems. Require design standards such as walls, berms or <br />landscape buffers between industrial and office, retail, and residential uses where loading <br />docks, driveways, and parking lot configuration causes noise, odors, and lighting to be <br />directed beyond the industry. <br /> <br />Action I-D <br /> <br />Install sidewalks consistently through the area. <br /> <br />1 <br />
