Efficient Highway -Oriented Development <br />(1) Establish design goals for at least one highway corridor. <br />(2) Participate in regional economic development planning with representatives from <br />surrounding townships, cities, the county and business interests to: <br />a. Estimate commercial/industrial needs among all jurisdictions. <br />b. Jointly implement recommendations to stage highway commercial development in <br />order to avoid overbuilding and expensive low -density development. <br />(3) Adopt transportation infrastructure design standards that protect highway, economic and <br />ecologic functions of the corridor through clustering of development and incorporating access <br />management standards. <br />(4) Adopt a highway commercial zoning district that permits only auto -oriented land uses. <br />(5) Require decommissioning in development agreements for large format developments <br />should they remain vacant for several years. <br />http://greenstep.pca.state.mn.us/bestPracticesDetail.cfm?bpid=9 <br />10.
