.7 C N A I~S> The staff recommends using the quality of life <br />guidelines to assist in the land use decision making: <br />1.. Heavy industry, truck to ..finals and semi trailer storage are not the most <br />compatible land use fit for the future of Twin Lakes because of traffic <br />demands, noise, water and air quality problems, and low building quality. The <br />Plan should continue to discourage further trucking related intrusions into the <br />Twin Lakes area, and further, discourage new heavy industrial plant <br />establishments, intensifications, or expansions. <br />2. New housing (or a mix of housing and offices in the same building) should be <br />located adjacent to existing housing, lakes and parks areas wherever possible. <br />By adding a professional or home office component to the housing structure, <br />a higher building value is created which can help reduce the initial cost of the <br />housing units. An alternate to housing is high quality office or headquarters <br />building. <br />3. Service mixes of support lodging, retail, banks, fitness and similar uses should <br />be located nearest to County Road C and Cleveland Avenue to take advantage <br />of good marketability and easy access onto a busy street system - it is both a <br />subregional destination for travelers, and a support service for users within the <br />business park. Business park users could reduce trips and need not gain access <br />from the busy streets but rather from internal roads and sidewalks. In <br />addition, these are the best areas for existing and expanded transit stops for <br />the workers of those service industries. <br />4. Multiple level offices and medical offices should take visual and access <br />advantage of locations along the Parkway and Cleveland Avenue. Offices <br />could be a good neighbor to residential. land because of their lower noise, <br />light, and traffic complexities in the evenings. In addition, the design and <br />configuration of office complexes could be an advantage to the neighborhood <br />where public pathways, water features and green spaces may be created for <br />public use. <br />5. Office, High Tech/Flex, and light assembly (all storage inside building) uses <br />can fit most everywhere but fit best on some of the lower visibility parcels <br />where employees are the primary traffic. This type of use can also be a buffer <br />between the existing retail and other more sensitive uses. <br />PF3232 - RCA(010801) Page 4 of 6 <br />
