In addition, to induce further new private investment that is in the public's best interest and ensure that the City is not overpaying for speculative development, condemnation will be used as a last option in redevelopment negotiation process to determine a fair market value of the property.

The 2001 Master Plan also has the following Twin Lakes Renewal Strategies: 1) Encourage updated/redeveloped mixed industrial and commercial/business uses. Improve access to these areas via County roads and the Parkway. Protect o�ce, retail, and residential areas from the aspects of pre-existing, non-conforming industry and high volume tra�c that disturb or disrupt the office or residential neighborhoods. 2� Require redevelopment in phases with a number ofparcels at one time. Utilize planned unit developments for site-specific flexibility in redevelopment. 3� Develop guidelines that encourage new developments to incorporate style elements from the new architecture present in Twin Lakes and Centre Pointe Business Parks. For example, if the existing adjacent neighborhood consists of two-story, gable roofed homes, the design, bulk and massing of the multiple family structures should complement the character of the existingneighborhood and blend into new office developments. And, o�ce buildings of 3 to S stories, using horizontal fenestration banding, should complementeach other in elevation, placement on the site, colors and exterior materials. 4) Restrictnew industrial or redevelopmentbusiness/service vehicle access to County Roads and private, internal driveway systems. Require design standards such as walls, berms or landscape buffers between industrial and o�ce, retail, and residential uses where loading PF3595 — RCA Concept Plan and PrelimPlat Approval - 102504 Page 14 � �
