8. Project Components / Threshold Criteria Proposed Densities The City proposes dense development with floor area ratios between .4 .75 for offices and hospital with parking ramps and a range of 1024 dwelling units per acre for residential uses. Proposed Mix of Uses in Twin Lakes Use High-tech Flex-Office/Showroom Housing/residential Office mix Multi-level Office Office-Hospital-M edical Retail Service Mix Acres 11.79 acres 51.11 48.24 15.22 29.18 14.72 170.27 acres % Redev. Area 6.92% 30.02% 28.33% 8.94% 17.14% 8.65% 100.00% Housing Mix and Integration The housing proposed for the area includes a mix of apartments, condominiums, townhomes and livelwork stacked units. The less dense townhomes (10 units per acre) would be closerdl the existing single-family residential neighborhood and the more dense (25 units per acre) housing complexes would surround Langton Lake and serve to integrate the various land uses across. The City will strive to provide a balance of life cycle and affordable units within each residential project. It will be the goal to include 20 percent of the units affordable to households at 80 percent of median income or below in both rental and ownership projects. In addition the City will encourage housing projects that meet the income and lifestyle needs based upon the employment concentration in the Twin Lakes area and surrounding retail and commercial developments. This will provide a match of jobs to housing so that there is less focus on vehicle transportatDn during work hours and more concentration on pedestrian traffic. Employment Proximity Twin Lakes is in the middle of the employment center of Roseville. The area west of Snelling is where over 32,000 jobs, or 80 percent of the total employment, is concatrated. Location makes Roseville an attractive location for business development and jobs. This is due primarily to its close proximity to the major freeway systems in the metropolitan area such as I 35W, 135E, 1694, 136 and Hwy 280. Employers have fOUld they can attract employees to Roseville from the entire metropolitan region. With improved transit connections, Twin Lakes will be even better poised to serve a skilled and nonskilled work force. The development in Twin Lakes will include an integratedpathway system that will connect each use together and link into the surrounding pathway system. This will enable smooth pedestrian flow within the development as well as to nearby amenities such as parks, restaurants, groceries, banking and other essential services. It is envisioned that the pathways will provide an appealing walking and biking environment for new and existing businesses and residences and will encourage alternative modes of transportation beyond the car.
