lodging uses in appropriate locations, where customers will have easy access from their job locations in Twin Lakes Business Park and from the Rosedale area. c. The City encourages a mix of office and high-tech uses with multiple residential uses where they can take advantage of the amenities offered by Oasis Park, and in a mixed Office/Residential area on the west and southeast sides of Langton Lake Park In effect, the multiple residence areas become the "new edge" to the e�sting adjoining residential areas. d. The City allows e�sting non-conforming uses, most notably the trucking operations, to remain as pre-e�sting nonconforming uses until a more compatible, permitted business park land use succeeds the trucking use. However, the City recognizes that such uses do "dampen" new office and hi-tech, hi-flex development interest because of the hea�y, older industrial visual image and the truck traffic they create. The City will adopt zoning or a planned unit development in which these non-conforming uses may remain, but will be encouraged to move to newer, more environmentally compatible trucking areas specifically designed and supported by roads and infrastructure for such uses. e. The City encourages quality site design in new developments, to include landscaping signage, berming lighting, location of multi-story buildings with buildings, parking and access, and other elements which will ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses, and with their own internal functioning. It will be the responsibility of new development to ensure compatibility with e�sting uses (adjacent uses outside the Master Plan area). £ The City encourages the use of shared parking ramped parking and a regional water retention plan, when appropriate, to reduce impervious surfaces and increase green space. The Twin Lakes Design Guidelines (1988) are the current Design Guidelines until superseded by amendments or "parcel specific" planned unit development ordinances. g. To ensure orderly, fair, efficient and cost-effective redevelopment, the City will use eminent domain — condemnation — in cases where acquisition of the land area and construction of public roads and parks, utilities and/or storm sewer are deemed in the public's interest by the City Council. In addition, to induce further new private investment that is in the public's best interest and ensure that the City is paying a fair price while not overpaying for speculative development, condemnation may be used as a last option in redevelopment negotiation process to determine a fair market value of the properiy. All condemnation initiatives require City Council approval. 3.7 Rezoning the Twin Lakes Master Plan area to a B-6 zone is consistent with the goals and policies of the Plan. 4.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS 4.1 As proposed, the rezoning the Twin Lakes Master Plan area to a zoning designation (B-6) consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan is in keeping with the goals and policies of the Twin Lakes Master Plan. When parcels are redeveloped the future land uses will follow a PF3359 — RCA B-6 Rezone Twin Lakes (06 1702) Page 3 of 5
