CMP Part 3B. Land lise Plan <br /> 4) Aging buildings are ripe for redevelopment yet provide low rental rates <br /> that allow local businesses to survive and thrive, reducina the incentive to <br /> redevelop. y <br /> �j There is little architectural cohesiveness among the existin� buildinQs. <br /> Navarre hasn't decided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the <br /> street, parking in the rear) or suburban (buildings set back, parking at the <br /> front) in character. <br /> 6) Compatibility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential <br /> neiahborhood can become an issue. <br /> 7) Expansion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to <br /> Dakota Rail Trail. <br /> 8) Introduction of hiaher density mixed use (residential and commercial) <br /> development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. <br /> ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREA An additional commercial area <br /> is designated along Old Hi�hway 12 (Wayzata Boulevard) where the availability <br /> of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial <br /> developments in Orono and Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. <br /> Orono ���ill coordinate its coinmercial development planning related to Wayzata <br /> Boulevard area with the City of Long Lake to ensure the Lona Lake downtown <br /> area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downto«�n <br /> retail area, and to prevent the extension of retail development west of Willow <br /> Drive in Orono. <br /> The retail development in the Wayzata Boulevard area will be community or <br /> neiQhborhood scale rather than `bia box' regional scale development. The types <br /> of retail uses ��ill be those that focus on providing services to fhe residents and <br /> businesses of Long Lake and Orono, «�hile also drawing from the reduced traffic <br /> stream on Wayzata Boulevard resulting from opening of the new Hiahway 1? <br /> corridor. However, the retail development is not to dra�� substantial traffic fr•om <br /> beyond Orono. <br /> The development plans for the Hiahway 12 area will encouraQe locally-owned <br /> and operated businesses that provide services to Orono and Lon� Lake residents. <br /> Additionally, the Highway 12 retail area will be a pedestrian-friendly area. This <br /> involves providing trails/sidewalks alonQ the roadways providing access to the <br /> retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that provide a sense of <br /> place and provide a gatherinQ place for the public. <br /> Cih� of Orono Communih-1�lanagement Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-38 <br />
