Resolution No. 7210 CMP Part 313. General Land Use Plan 4. "Big box" retail uses will not be allowed within this area. 9. Park/ Recreation/ Open Space Park, Recreation, and Open Space Land Use includes public and private parks and natural areas throughout the community. The recreational facilities identified on the Land Use Plan are principally large natural or open space areas which are compatible with their Rural Area location. 10. Industrial This district provides space for industrial activities for companies that are able and willing to achieve superior standards of design and environmental protection. Industrial land uses should be restricted to areas abutting major transportation corridors and individually cited so as to minimum negative impacts on residential areas. Based on their heavy hardcover needs, industrial areas should be located further than 1,000 feet from lakes. The Metropolitan Council requires that communities provide a measurement of forecasted employment. Acceptable measures include floor area ratios, building footprint percentages or impervious surface percentages. Orono anticipates that new development in the Industrial land use will tend to result in FAR of 0.32 to 0.4. There is about 10 acres of vacant or underdeveloped industrially guided property. Applying the same methodology as outlined in the Mixed Use section: Total Sq Ft (Total SF * Jobs, Assuming 1500 sqft per FAR) warehouse worker FAR 0.32 139,392 93 FAR 0.40 174,240 116 The City can anticipate an additional 93-116 jobs upon the full buildout of the Industrial areas. These two areas, using the conservative estimates outlines, demonstrate Orono can accommodate employment growth projections. 11. Major Highway and Railway Uses Identifies land occupied by federal or state highways and railway improvements. NA VARRE AREA PLAN In 2018, the City completed the Navarre Area Plan (NAP) with the aid of a Planning Consultant, WSB and Associates. This planning process focused on the land range vision and land use goals for the Navarre area, and to inform the Comprehensive Plan, for this update. The proposed land uses shown on Map 3B- 3 include the findings from the Navarre Area Plan. Map 313-3a shows the Navarre area specifically. The Navarre Planning Process employed a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC), consisting of 13 members of the Navarre area community, including business owners and operators and residents. The Planning Process included three PAC meetings, an open house in January, and a Joint Work session in April. Public comment was collected via the open house, work session, on-line surveys, and the use of a social media tool, Social Pinpoint. The full report, including the appendices detailing the comments received, and the market study, are attached in Appendix 3B -A of this chapter. The NAP evaluated several factors influencing the changes in the Navarre neighborhood over the next 20 City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 313, Page 19
