7. Provide a range of quality and head-of-household jobs 8. Diversify the property tax base 9. Provide a flexible land use plan in which buildings can adapt to market demands 10. Locate uses and buildings in areas where they can best take advantage of industrial clusters and support services 4.0 BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AREAS AND BUSINESS PARK DEFINITIONS: 4.1 City of Roseville staff did research other business parks for models that could be adapted to the community. A good general example is the City of Davis, California, which has replaced the concept of "certified industrial parks" with "business development areas". This change in concept recognizes the expansion of high technology uses as well as light manufacturing uses. Davis eliminated the minimum acreage requirements previously associated with industrial parks, allowing "business development areas" in locations that have limited available space but require sophisticated site and architectural planning. Davis places value on keeping jobs near employee homes, reducing worker-transportation issues and encouraging non-motorized commuting to work. The "business development areas" may use tax increment revenues. The Davis amendments also allow the City to develop standards for business parks. These standards address uses of property, types of building materials, landscaping, setbacks, parking, storage areas, and management required for designation as a business park. 4.2 Roseville Business Park Definition: In 2001, the Comprehensive Plan for "Business Park" land designation was approved. As defined in the Plan, "Business Park is a mix of uses that include multi level offices, high tech flex, service retail and multi-family housing where appropriate. It is more specifIcally defined as: A geographically identifiable area which contains a consistent architectural mix of office, office-laboratory, office-showroom- warehousing, biotechnical, biomedical, high-tech software and hardware production uses with support services such as limited retail, health, fitness, lodging and multifamily housing. The "Business Park" has well-planned roads, utilities, ponding and communication systems. Parcels within a "Business Park" have access to an internal parkway and/or external County minor arterials as well as convenient access to the Interstate Highway System. Emphasis is placed on creating a unique, safe and high- quality work and play environment by installation of extraordinary, architecturally distinct buildings, parkways, transit and transportation services, site planning, landscaping, parks, pedestrian pathways, and lighting.
