The B-6 (Milted lbe Business Parks) zoning district (from City Code Section 1005.07) is intended to provide a mix of uses such as office, clinic, and hotel research in tall and dense buildings. Such a"Business Park" must have 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 multifamilyhousing. A "Mixed Use Business Park" is a redevelopment area, in which the environmental impacts of the business park have been analyzed through an environmental impact statement or similar. The impacts are then mitigated within the requirements a Planned Unit Development as defined in Section 1008. All parcels must have well-planned roads, utilities, ponding and communication systems. Parcels within a"Mixed Use Business Park" have access to an internal parkway ancVor external County roads 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, parl�vays, transit and transportation services, site planning, landscaping, parks, pedestrian pathways, and lighting. There must be a master plan and a Planned Unit development to implement the business park redevelopment. Permitted uses as per Section 1005.07 include: � Office, business and professional. • Medical and dental clinics and laboratories, and hospitals • Hotel and motel. ' Research, design and development. ■ Bank and financial institutions. ■ Restaurants and retail sales �' Day care centers and health clubs � Multi-family housing * Parl�ing to accommodate uses in a contiguous mixed use business district 7.4 Comparing the original 1988 Twin Lakes Master Plan to the 2001 Master Plan, the difference was that the 1988 plan had additional, larger single use retail proposed along County Road C and housing was added along the north edges, toward the existing neighborhoods. The 2001 plan did not include this type of use because the plan focused on a hi-tech bio-medical job creation plan, which included a large hospital and supporting medical office buildings. These uses were projected to create 3,000 to 5,000 jobs. 7.5 The 2001 master plan was adopted and supported by developers and land owners based upon its "flexible land use plan". As part of its adoption, the City Council reiterated their support for being "flexible" with the land uses as long as a larger, more sophisticated master development plan was provided. The City Council strongly discouraged site by site redevelopment. The Rottlund proposal provides are large scale redevelopment plan of an entire area.
