zh • Zoning All parcels are currently zoned Business Park District (BP). The District encourages a planned integrated environment for certain industrial, office, and commercial uses that are compatible with and complement each other as well as the surrounding land uses. The intent of this district is that development reflects common themes using compatible architectural design and consistency in signage, landscaping and lighting. It is also the intent to encourage businesses that generate a high number of jobs per square foot rather than predominantly warehouse type uses. For further details please refer to City Code Section 30-1294 regarding permitted, accessory and conditional uses (attached). Section Three: Proposal Criteria The City has a keen interest in maximizing the use of these parcels and fulfilling community needs. The City envisions quality developments that are aesthetically pleasing and fit in with the surrounding business park area. The Goals of the development are: • To increase the city's future property tax base thus reducing future increases in property taxes on current residents • To create quality job opportunities for current and future residents • • To create an increased customer base for retail business • To market city-owned and privately-owned business park properties • To improve traffic access and circulation to and through the area • To encourage a mixture of market-supportable land uses compatible with one another and with the surrounding area. • To protect long-term vitality of adjacent commercial and residential areas The City is seeking a creative, qualified developer to oversee the development of the targeted area. The City is willing to consider proposals for partnering with a master developer for development of the entire area or with developers on individual sites. It is important to note that the City will not pay any realtor fees or commissions in the event of the sale of property. Potential developments the City would encourage include, but are not limited to, light manufacturing and production facilities, high technology manufacturing or research and development facilities. The City is not interested in purely warehouse and distribution facilities. The zoning district requirements prohibit outdoor storage of materials and equipment. Section Four: Timeline The City will consider all proposals that are submitted by March 1, 2005. The City may have the property appraised and may negotiate a Letter of Intent after reviewing and selecting a proposal. Page3of6
