Land Use PIan, CMP Section 3B,Pages 3B-37 thru 3B-40 � "Urban Commercial Lanci Use � � Urban coiiunercial development is linlited to two areas wluch are provided with all the necessary urban services and facilities. The major coinrnercial center of Orono will continue to •be the crossroads center of Navarre. This area will provide sufficient opportunity for neighborhood retail and service businesses, phis adequate professioiial offices, to serve the needs of niost Oroiio residents. Accessory fiiiictions such as offices aiid owner-occupied living units or limited multi-fainily developinents will be considered appropriate in or near tlie Navarre conunercial area. The scale and type of retail uses in a pedestrian-friendly envirorulzent is the most inzportant development parameter for the Nava.i�re commercial area. The City will encourage redevelopnlent of individual conunercial sites in Navarre to allow for au expaiided range of neighborhood services and local srnall business opporhmities. An additional conunercial area is designated along Highway 12 where the availability of transportation a.nd utilities as well as proaimity to similar commercial developiiieiits in Orono and Long Lake,make conunercial use appropriate. Orono will seek to coordinate its con�unercial development plaruiing related to the Highway 12 area with the City of Loizg Lake to ensure the Long Lake downtown area remains vital and viable, to focus retail development in a compact downtown retail area, and to�limit the extension of retail developinent west of Willow Drive in Orono. The retail developineiit in the Highway 12 area will be coinmuiuty/neighborhood scale � rather than `big box' regional scale development. The types of retail uses will be tliose that focus on providing services to the residents and busiiiesses of Long Lake and Orono, � wlule also drawing fioni the tr�c stream that will be on current Highway 12 after the Highway 12 Reroute is opeiz. However, fihe retail development is not to draw substantial traffic froin beyond Orona The developinent plaiis for the Highway 12 area will encourage locally-owned and operated businesses tliat provide services to Orono aizd Long Lake resideizts. Additionally,the Highway 12 refiail area will be a pedestria.n-friendly area. Tlus involves � providing trails/sidewalks along tl�e roadways providiiig access to the retail uses. It also involves providiiig public amenities that provide a sense of pl�ce aud provide a gathering place for the public."
