N04-2974 Stoncbay Outlot A CMP Amendment Text April IS. 2004 Pace 3 6. Enables better contiol over the amount of retail development th.it occurs along Higli'vay 12 7. Provides the opportunity to generate stable jobs in office, high *ech. medical, etc. 8. A more compact community scale retail area matches the Jesign of nc\v H!gh^^ ay 12 with no interchanges through Long Lake. 9. Lumts the impxl on norti south road\% a>s (i.e. mereosed tralTic and activity lev cIs) as compared to the more w.tcnsc *'big bo.\*' retail uses. 10. Maintains a lower activity level m the area west of Willow Drive 11 . Would create less pressure for providing an access from new Hi ghw ay 12 to the retail area. “2. Accordingly, tlas area should be dev eloped w ith a mix of commercial uses including retail, scrx ’ice and office components. Access via a sen ice road parillcling Highway 1 2 should still be required rather than direct access to Highway 12, since existing traffic lev cIs along Highw ay 1 2 are expected to remain at a level which makes direct all-way .icccss difficult and dangerous. The Highway 1 2 re-route ("proposed Highway 12") w hen com ileted in approximately 2(X)7 will have a significant impact on access for this area, bcc^ sc current Highway 12 traffic levels arc expected to increase between now and 2007, then should drop dramatically when the Bypass opens. However, traffic levels on "old Highw ay 1 2" after 2007 arc expected to again creep upward, and the long-tcmi need for a serv ice road may again manifest itself For this reason, it is in the best interestsof the City and ilic business community to prescrv c at least a partial sen ice road corridor between Brow n Road and Willow for future use, that will provide all properties w iili access options other than direct access from Highway 12. The City supports the development of a "midpoint" connection to Higliw ay 1 2 directly across from Bnmhall Avenue, such access to be at least a right-in, right-out configuration. Further, if and when the scrv ice road is constructed, all other existing accesses directly to Highway 12 should ultimately be removed '* Properly abuttiag the north side of existing Highw ay 12 from Willow Drive to Old Crystal Bay Road. This area (shown on .Map 3B-7 asthc'comncrciai* portionofParccl Group 1 ) currently is vacant property, comprised of 3 tax parcels w ith some 2600 feet of Highway 12 frontage. As part of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan amendment, the City
