<br />REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 12/12/01 <br />ITEM NO: ., <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />A request by the Roseville Community Development Department to <br />amend Section 1005.07 (B-6, Office Park Districts) to create a B-6, <br />Mixed Use Business Park District (PF3351). <br /> <br /> <br />1.0 REVIEW of PROPOSAL: <br /> <br />1.1 In September of 200 1, the City of Roseville established in its Comprehensive Plan a <br />Business Park designation. The Twin Lakes Master Plan was approved with that <br />designation. On October 24, 2001, the Metropolitan Council approved the designation of <br />"Business Park" within the Twin Lakes Master Plan Amendment to the City of Roseville <br />Comprehensive Plan. The Commission formally reviewed this item on November 14, <br />2001. <br /> <br />1.2 Since that date the Community Development Department has reviewed the Roseville <br />Zoning Ordinance to determine whether it is preferable to create a separate zoning <br />district or revise the existing district. The Department concluded that the current B-6, <br />Office Park District could be amended with the new language consistent with a mixed- <br />use business park. <br /> <br />1.3 A "Mixed Use Business Park District" is defined as a geographically identifiable area <br />which contains a consistent architectural mix of office, office-laboratory, office- <br />showroom-warehousing, bio-technical, biomedical, high-tech software and hardware <br />production uses with support services such as limited retail, health, fitness, lodging and <br />multifamily housing. <br /> <br />1.4 A "Mixed Use Business Park District" is normally a redevelopment area, in which the <br />environmental impacts of a business park have been analyzed through an environmental <br />impact statement or similar review process. The impacts are then mitigated within the <br />requirements a Planned Unit Development as defined in Section 1008. All parcels should <br />have well-planned roads, utilities, ponding and communication systems. Parcels within a <br />"Mixed Use Business Park" should provide access to an internal parkway and/or external <br />County minor arterials as well as convenient access to the Interstate Highway System. <br /> <br />1.5 A "Mixed Use Business Park District" should create a unique, safe and high-quality <br />work, housing, and recreational environment by installing extraordinary, architecturally <br />distinct buildings, parkways, transit and transportation services, site planning, <br />landscaping, parks, pedestrian pathways, and lighting. <br /> <br />PF3351 - RPCA 121201 Page 1 of2 <br />
