2.4 The suggested next step is to revise the "B-6" Zone (City Code Zoning District, Section 1 005) to more accurately describe a "Master Planned Business Park" zoning district. 2.5 After adoption of the revisions to the B-6 Zone to "Master Planned Business Park", the next step would be to rezone all of the parcels within the Twin Lakes Master Plan area. 3.0 PLANNING PRINCIPLES FOR BUSINESS PARKS: 3.1 The purpose of a Business Park is to create a high quality, professional enviromnent for administrative, professional, government and medical offices and non-polluting science, teclmology, light manufacturing and ancillary warehouse facilities in pleasant, pedestrian-oriented mixed-use environments featuring freeway access, a variety of amenities and high- quality architectural and landscape design. Depending upon the location of the Business Park, multi-family residential development may be appropriate and encouraged. 3.2 In general a "Master Planned Business Park" is a hybrid of industrial and office parks that contains multiple uses and activities that are developed in a connected manner. Such uses include traditional industrial uses (such as warehouse/distribution, light manufacturing, and research and development activities) as well as other types ofland uses including headquarter offices, recreational facilities, health clubs, day care centers, incubator spaces for emerging companies, and residential uses. Each business park is unique in theme and may include all or just of few of the different uses. They require sophisticated land planning, (many times including a PUD) high quality architectural and landscape design, building flexibility, a variety of amenities, connected pathways and appropriate envirom11ental controls. 3.3 The following principles were first used in the Twin Lakes planning process but are applicable to all business parks and clusters of office/high tech flex buildings in Roseville. 1. Create a buffer to protect and enhance the public enjoyment of preserved and new natural amenities 2. Protect the residential neighborhoods at the edges of the business park with less intrusive new business or residential uses 3. Create a livable environment (more green space, pathways, controlled vehicle access ways, parking and transit with a mix of uses which can support most employer and employee needs) 4. Create compatibility between uses and building designs 5. Minimize the impact of commercial traffic onto residential streets, reduce congestion at main intersections 6. Clean up soil and ground water pollution 2
