Th« resulting three options provided contrast choices to distinguish what exists now and what might be realistically encouraged for the future. Option 1 - Industrial Park This option would follow current zoning to protect and presen/e industrial uses on a smaller scale. The premise is that an organized industrial parK protected from outside intriieion will produce a significant economic benefit over time and stimulate constant upgrading and improving the area. Existing internal street systems would continue. Direct access to and from TH 12 should decrease. Option 2 - Business Park This option encourages highway-oriented uses along the TH 12 frontages. The depth of that commercial expansion depertds on the ability to create parcel access from connector roads or internal access. One concept includes an extension of Industrial Boulevard easterly to Shaughnessy Circle. Daniels Street could have an industrial face on the south frontage and a commercial/business feoe on the north frontage. Additional public Infrastructure is required for this option. Option 3 - Commercial Center V This option would phase out all industrial uses in ^vor of highway and community related commercial. Care would need to be exercised to compliment downtown commerdai uses. The three optional development concepts are illustrated in Figure 4-5. Clearly, the industrial park will change overtime. The comprehensive plan seeks to create an investment framework that can be implemented over time and that will bring an upgraded and diversified employment and business center. The plan builds on Option 2 and retains the smaller parcel approach, but opens the TH 12 edge to commercial and highway commercial. Emphasis continues on reinforcing a coordinated and integrated idistrict The development concept moves from a strict industrial park to a more diversified *business park*. Additional internal east-west circulation may be required depending on the sc^of uses. The district would not intend to accommodate a large home improvement and lumber ^ yard type use or a power retail center. Instead the integration of community oriented. highway related businesses would be pursued. The emphasis of commercial uses would be to serve the business paiK community and subregion in that order. CommercMl uses generally are higher value development than industrial uses creating continuing presswe to ‘commercialize' all transition areas. Directing and fostering retail and service Uses in downtown while accommodating larger scale commercial uses In the business park are the plans'objective, it is the further objective to tedlity clustering of mutually reinfqrcing businesses. Virginia Street District Virginia Street is a residential street between Wayzata Boulevard and Oaniela Street. The - street exits one-way only north to Wayzata Boulevard to prevent non-residential circulating traffic. Trucks are prohibited from Daniels Street between Brown Road and Shaughnessy Circle as well as from Virginia Street. The residential property area is generally higher in elevation than the surrounding uses creating some visual impacts not easily resolved.
