CMP Part 3B. Land Use Plan COMP e`er+► <br /> PC Exhibit F <br /> properties are not continuous, with residential properties scattered among th- .4 <br /> making for a somewhat fragmented business district that is spread out over a .4. e <br /> in length from end to end. Along these two corridors the second ;-r of <br /> development is typically residential; hence the business uses in many c. -s are in <br /> close proximity to individual homes. <br /> Past City planning efforts for the Navarre area have identifie, a number of <br /> challenges to be addressed as Navarre redevelops in the years to .me: <br /> 1) High traffic volumes and the existing traffic m: • : :ement infrastructure <br /> result in poor pedestrian accessibility. Pedestri: ,, have limited options <br /> for crossing CR 15 or CR 19. The Park and ' de facility location and <br /> inflexibility of bus routes (partially due to th- ocation and configuration <br /> of the P&R lot)requires that bus patrons cro CR 15 on at least one leg of <br /> their commute. <br /> 2) Parking availability is a limiting facto or expansion or redevelopment of <br /> existing businesses. <br /> 3) Beautification efforts are hin• ed by road width and right-of-way <br /> constraints as well as financial onstraints. <br /> 4) Aging buildings are ripe .r redevelopment yet provide low rental rates <br /> that allow local business: to survive and thrive, reducing the incentive to <br /> redevelop. <br /> 5) There is little arc,.tectural cohesiveness among the existing buildings. <br /> Navarre hasn't d, ided whether it wants to be urban (buildings against the <br /> street, parking the rear) or suburban (buildings set back, parking at the <br /> front)in ch: .: ter. <br /> 6) Compa..ility of certain business uses with the closely adjacent residential <br /> neigh..rhood can become an issue. <br /> 7) E .ansion of pedestrian connectivity to adjoining neighborhoods and to <br /> ►i akota Rail Trail. <br /> 8) Introduction of higher density mixed use (residential and commercial) <br /> development to select sites identified in the Land Use Plan. <br /> 4 ORONO/LONG LAKE COMMERCIAL AREA. An additional commercial area <br /> is designated along Old Highway 12 (Wayzata Boulevard) where the availability <br /> of transportation and utilities as well as proximity to similar commercial <br /> developments in Orono and Long Lake,make commercial use appropriate. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 3B-38 <br />
