City of Orono 2000-2020 C� , .ehensive Management Plan <br /> • General Land Use Plan, Section 3B <br /> Proposed Amendments 3/15/2007 <br /> convenience store/service station. <br /> Outlot A and the three other parcels between Keliey Parkway and Highway 12 are <br /> currently guided for office use with minor retail accessory to the office use. The <br /> purpose of this �guiding was to avoid creating a substantial retail center with its <br /> attendant traffic and visual impacts, and to avoid the expansion of retail substantially <br /> westward from its current terminus at the intersection of 12/Willow..This goal has <br /> been to a great extent rnet by the office developments completed, underway and <br /> anticipated west of the regional storm water pond. : <br /> �The Stonebay residential development immediately north of Kelley Parkway will <br /> eventually inc(ude approximately 160 residential units. That development was <br /> approved with the concept of walkability in mind, including ample sidewalk and trail . <br /> connections to the commercial areas to the southeast as well as to the City facilities <br /> � and Orono Schools campus to the west. The Stonebay residential development will _ <br /> result in a mixed use neighborhood, with residential, office and institutional uses. This . � . <br /> mixed use neighborhood would benefit from nearby neighborhood-scale retail uses <br /> that would serve the neighborhood. � . <br /> The retail uses that would most benefit the mix of residential and non-residential uses � � <br /> • in the neighborhood would be a neighborhood-scale pharmacy/convenience store <br /> and neighborhood-scale food-oriented uses. . � <br /> This amendment to the 2000-2020 Community Management Plan re-guides Outlot A <br /> of Stonebay to additionally allow for neighborhood-scale retail uses, as an alternative <br /> to the office use for which it is currently guided. The deiiniiion of "neigh�orhood-scale <br /> reiail uses" for Outlot � includes ihe ioliowing parameters which must be adhered to <br /> for any retail use developed and maintained on the property: � <br /> ■ No individual retail buildings greater than 15,000 s.f. gross floor area. � <br /> f • <br /> 1 � <br /> f <br /> �a..,, � nnn � f ' <br /> � The. most westerly building on the site shall be oriented and designed�in a � <br /> . manner that focuses on the regional pond as an amenity for customers or <br /> fenants. <br /> ■ Buildings on the site shall be oriented with a goal of providing an inviting vehicle <br /> and pedestrian entry from Kelley parkway without creating negative visual <br /> impacts for the Stonebay residential development, <br /> ■ Architectural design and details shall be carefully prepared by any developer of <br /> � the site to ensure a high quality ofi design, compatible with Yhe qualifiy oi ine <br /> office buildings on Kelley Parkway, and shall be subject to City approval <br /> • through the PUD process, <br /> o Building materials shall be high quality and durable, shall be compatible with <br /> the quality of the office buildings on Kelley Parkway, and shall be subject to City <br /> approval through the PUD process. ,� �, _ _ <br /> . . .. ,. . <br /> L:,' .. ...
