CNIP Part 3B. Land tise Plan � <br /> URBAN COMMERCIAL LAND USE <br /> Urban commercial development is limited to two areas which are provided with <br /> all the necessary urban services and facilities. <br /> NAVARRE COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. The major commercial center of Orono <br /> will continue to be the crossroads center of Navarre. This area will provide <br /> sufficient opportunity for neiahborhood retail and service businesses, plus <br /> adequate professional offices, to serve the needs of most Orono residents. <br /> Accessory functions such as offices and owner-occupied living units or limited <br /> inulti-family developments will be considered appropriate in or near the Navarre <br /> commercial area. The scale and type of retail uses in a pedestrian-friendly <br /> environment is the most important development parameter for the Navarre <br /> commercial area. The City will encourage redevelopment of individual <br /> commercial sites in I�Tavarre to allo�� for an expanded range of neiQhborhood <br /> seivices and local small business opportunities. <br /> The Navarre Commercial Distnct extends alona either side of Shoreline Di-ive <br /> from the intersection of County Roads 1� and 19 westward to the Orono-Spring <br /> Park border, and alon� both sides of Shadywood Road from Lyric Avenue to <br /> Lydiard Avenue. The commercial uses alonb these intersectin� comdors are <br /> typically only one tier deep, with virtually all commercial properties abutting <br /> either Shoreline Drive or Shadywood Road. Additionally, the commercial <br /> properties are not continuous, with residential properties scattered among them, <br /> inaking for a somewhat frayniented business district that is spread out over a mile <br /> in length from end to end. AlonQ these two corridors the second tier of <br /> development is typically residential, hence the business uses in many cases are in <br /> close proximity to individual homes. <br /> Past City planning efforts for the Na��arre area have identified a number of <br /> challenaes to be addressed as I�avai-re redevelops in the years to come: <br /> 1) HiQh traffic volumes and the e�istin� traffic mana�ement infrastructure <br /> result in poor pedestrian accessibility. Pedestrians have limifed options <br /> for crossing CR 1� or CR 19. The Park and Ride facility location and <br /> infle�ibility of bus routes (partially due to the location and configuration <br /> of the PR.R lot) requires that bus patrons cross CR 15 on at least one leg of <br /> their commute. <br /> 2) Parking a�•ailability is a limitin� factor for expansion or redevelopinent of <br /> existing businesses. <br /> 3) Beautification efforts are hindered by road width and right-of-way <br /> constraints as w�ell as financial constraints. <br /> _� <br /> � <br /> Cit`• of Orono Communit�- NTanagement Plan 2008-2030 Page 38-37 <br />
