Commercial areas will be provided for neighborhood service businesses. The primary <br /> function of Orono's commercial areas will be to provide those retail, commercial and <br /> service businesses which are directly necessary to serve Orono's urban and rural <br /> residents. Commercial development will be limited to areas where full urban services, <br /> including municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. Commercial <br /> development of a regional nature (i.e. "big box" retail) which would increase traffic, <br /> particularly on collector streets serving low density residential development, will be <br /> discouraged. Mixed Use Residential and Commercial Development is targeted for select <br /> traditionally commercial areas to provide a healthy base of customers for these limited <br /> commercial areas. <br /> 3. Lakeshore commercial areas will be provided for public access and limited lake-user <br /> services. Orono's residents and other lake users require lake access, fishing supplies, boat <br /> service and boat repair facilities which are unique to our location on a recreational development <br /> lake. Orono's Land Use Plan will provide locations for such special-purpose businesses where <br /> appropriate from both the land use and the lakeside environmental standpoint. No use or <br /> location will be permitted to adversely affect the lake quality or the public's general usage of <br /> the lake.All lakeshore commercial is to be limited to areas where full urban services,including <br /> municipal sanitary sewer and adequate transportation are available. <br /> 4. The City will encourage private unification and coordination of the existing commercial <br /> areas. Unplanned strip commercial developments will be discouraged. Coordinated projects <br /> designed to aesthetically enhance, unify and identify the business areas will be encouraged. <br /> 5. Future industrial development will be limited to the area of the existing Orono industrial <br /> park.No other location in Orono combines the availability of transportation and public utilities <br /> with remoteness from sensitive environmental features. In addition, this land use is consistent <br /> with Long Lake's neighboring industrial development. <br /> 6. Commercial and industrial development will not be permitted to adversely affect <br /> neighboring residential property.The location, scale and types of commercial and industrial <br /> development will be controlled so as not to encroach upon or adversely impact the primary <br /> residential land uses in Orono. Wherever possible, natural land forms or buffers will be <br /> required between different land uses. <br /> 7. Public urban services must be available for all future commercial, industrial and urban- <br /> residential development. Commercial, industrial and urban-density residential uses will be <br /> permitted only where municipal sanitary sewer,water, adequate transportation,police and fire <br /> protection services are available. <br /> 8. Urban development will utilize the capacity of existing public facilities.New land uses and <br /> development will be allowed to infill existing vacant properties within the urban service area <br /> consistent with environmental limitations and with the existing or planned capacities of water, <br /> sewer, drainage transportation and recreational facilities.
