CMP Part 3B. General Lande Use Plan <br /> 5. There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings. Navarre hasn't <br /> decided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the street, parking in the rear) or <br /> 6. Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential neighborhood <br /> can become an issue. <br /> 7. Desire to expand Expansion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to <br /> Dakota Rail Trail. <br /> 8. Introduction of higher density mixed use (residential and commercial) development to <br /> select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. <br /> ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREABUSINESS AREA <br /> An additional commercial area is designated along Wayzata Boulevard where the availability of <br /> transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial developments in Orono and <br /> Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. <br /> Orono will coordinate its commercial development planning related to Wayzata Boulevard area <br /> with the City of Long Lake to ensure the Long Lake downtown area remains vital and viable, to <br /> focus retail development in a compact downtown retail area, and to prevent the extension of retail <br /> development west of Willow Drive in Orono. <br /> The retail development in the Wayzata Boulevard area will be community or neighborhood scale <br /> rather than "big box"regional scale development. The types of retail uses will be those that focus <br /> on providing services to the residents and businesses of Long Lake and Orono,while also drawing <br /> from the reduced traffic stream on Wayzata Boulevard resulting from opening of the new Highway <br /> 12 corridor.However,the retail development is not to draw substantial traffic from beyond Orono. <br /> The development plans for the Highway 12 area will encourage locally-owned and operated <br /> businesses that provide services to Orono and Long Lake residents. Additionally,the Highway 12 <br /> retail area will be a pedestrian-friendly area. This involves providing trails/sidewalks along the <br /> roadways providing access to the retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that <br /> provide a sense of place and provide a gathering place for the public. <br /> Parameters for commercial use of this area are as follows: <br /> 1. The area affected is property lying between Kelley Parkway and Wayzata Boulevard, west of <br /> Willow Drive and east of Old Crystal Bay Road. <br /> 2. Allowed uses in this area include professional offices, limited service uses, retail uses <br /> accessory to the office use, and senior and assisted living uses. <br /> 3. Access to all uses will be via Kelley Parkway. Direct access to Willow Drive, if allowed, are <br /> intended to shall be right-in/right-out only.There shall be no direct access points onto Wayzata <br /> Boulevard. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 3B, Page 21 <br />
