2.0 RENEWAL STRATEGY PROCESS 2.1 The first part of the Twin Lakes Renewal Strategy has already been completed with bus tour in July. The tour provided public policy makers with a perspective of what redevelopment has occurred in Roseville and the basic challenges the community would face in the continued effort to redevelop Twin Lakes. 2.2 The second process was completed November I and 2. The staff held strategy meetings with four key stakeholder groups. The focus groups consisted of property owners, area neighborhoods, key developers, and government and non- profit agencies that will need to be informed as part of the AUAR process. The strategy meetings provided the following: a. a summary of existing plans and outline the inconsistencies between them; b. three different land use plan scenarios; c. an outline of the costs and impacts to the community of each land use plan scenario and a discussion of the implementation strategies (proactive or market driven; d. a summary of the outcomes: new square footage, employment, wages, taxes, infrastructure (greenspace, ponding, roads, park), and environmental cleanup of each land use plan scenario; e. discussion of the public planning options to more accurately portray the desired land use scenario such as Comprehensive Plan Amendment or a new Zoning District (possibly a PUD or "B-6" mixed use district). 2.3 After completion of the strategy meetings, staffwill consolidate the comments and suggestions of the participants and will report to the Commission on any additional findings at the public hearing on November 8t\ and then to the City Council on November 27th. 2.4 Should the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Renewal Strategy, and upon final Council approval of a revised plan, an Alternative Urban Area Review (AUAR) process would begin in January, 2000, which would review all environmental issues such as traffic, water storage and drainage capacity, air quality, infrastructure improvements, landscaping, design plan, parking, etc. This process will develop environmental mitigations to control impacts to the City. 2.5 Upon completion ofthe AUAR, which requires the review and comment by several regulatory agencies, the community should have a better understanding of the development potential in Twin Lakes. 2.6 Staff is hopeful that a renewed plan, with the background detail completed to support it, will position the City to more realistically capture another corporate expansion project(s) and provide the framework for a more practical mixed used business park.
