Land Use Plan, CMP Section 3B, Pages 3B-37 thru 3B-40 ‘‘Urban Commercial Land Use Urban commercial development is limited to two areas wliich are provided witli all the necessary urban services and facilities. The major commercial center of Orono will continue to be the crossroads center ofNavane. This area will provide sufficient opportunity for neigliborhood retail and service businesses, plus adequate professional offices, to sci"vc the needs of most Orono residents. Accessory functions such as offices and owner-occupied living units or limited multi-family developments will be considered appropriate in or near theNavanc commercial area. The scale and type of retail uses in a pedestrian-friendly environment is the m.ost important development parameter for thcNavane commercial ai ca. The City will encourage redevelopment of individual commercial sites in Navarre to allow for an expanded range of neighborhood services and local small business opportunities. An additional commercial area is designated along Highway 12 where the availability of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial developments in Orono and Long Lake, make commercial use appropriate. Orono will seek to coordinate its commercial development planning related to the Highway 12 area with the City of Long Lake to ensure the I.x)ng Lake downto\Mi area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downtown retail area, and to prevent lirnit the extension of retail development west of Willow Drive in Orono. The retail development in the Highway 12 ar ea will be community/neighborhood scale rather than ‘big box’ regional scale development. Tlie types of retail uses will be those tliat focus on providing services to tlic residents andbusincsscs of Long Lake and Orono, while also drawing from the traffic stream that will be on current Higliway 12 after the Highway 12 Reroute is open. However, the retail development is not to draw substantial traffic from beyond Orono. The development plans for the Highway 12 area will encourage locally-owned and operated businesses that provide services to Orono and Long Lake residents. Additionally, the Highway 12 retail area will be a pedestrian-friendly area. This involves providing trails/sidewalks along the roadways providing access to the retail uses. It also involves providing public amenities that provide a sense of place and provide a gathering place for the public.”'■ .V « r i M'
