ensure compatibility with existing uses, not vice versa. The City encourages the use of shared parking, ramped parking and a regional water retention plan or use of new technologies where appropriateto reduce impervious surfaces and increasegreen spac� The Twin Lakes Design Guidelines (1988) are the current Design Guidelines until superceded by amendments or parcel specific"platened unit development ordinances. 6) To ensure orderly, fair, e�cient and cost-effective redevelopment, the City will use eminent domain — condemnation — in cases where acquisition of the land area and constr�uction of public roads and parks, utilitiesandlor 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 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. In these cases, condemnation ensures that cost effective redevelopment occurs for developmentthat meets and exceeds the Plans. All condemnation initiatives shall require City Council approval. To ensure that changes in the Twin Lakes Master Plan are supported by the community, the Twin Lakes Renewal Strategies were developed to refresh previous master plans so that implementation would be done with current market conditions and feedback from the community. Source: Adopted Twin Lakes Master Plan (June 2001), Page 2-4. The 2001 Master Plan also has the following Twin Lakes Renewal Strategies: I) Encourage updated/redeveloped mixed industrial and commerciaUbusiness 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 traff'ic that disturb or disr�upt the o, f,�'ice or residential neighborhoods. 2� Require redevelopment in phases with a number of parcels at one time. Utilize planned unit developmentsfor site-specific fCexibility 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 existingadjacentneighborhood consists of two-story, gable roofed homes, the design, bulk and massing of the multiple family structures should complement the characterof the existing neighborhood and blend into new offace developments. And, office buildings of 3 to S stories, using horizontalfenestration banding, should complement each other in elevation, placement on the site, colors and exterior materials. 4) Restrictnew industrial or redevelopmentbusiness/service vehicle access to CountyRoads and private, internal driveway systems. Require design standards such as walls, berms or landscapebuffers between industrial and o�ce, retail, and residential uses where loading docks, driveways, and parking lot configuration cause noise, odors, and lighting to be directed beyond the industry.
