Locational C~iteria: <br /> - Near principle access points of limited access highways or <br /> major thoroughfares. <br /> <br /> - Development in clusters rather than in a "strip" pattern. <br /> <br /> - Adjoining other business or industrial areas. <br /> <br /> - Not normally adjacent to residential development unless part <br /> of neighborhood service center. <br /> <br /> - Areas on periphery o~shopping centers providing other <br /> location criteria are met. <br /> <br />Site Development Standards: <br /> <br /> - If adjacent to residential areas, particular concern should be <br /> given to orientation of access and service vehicles, buffering <br /> and location of adverse site features such as rubbish pick-up <br /> areas, pa~king, lighted signs, outside storage, etc. <br /> <br /> - Access and interior traffic movement should be designed so <br /> that vehicles may enter and leave the site without interfering <br /> with the traffic movement on the abutting highway or arterial. <br /> <br /> - Frontage roads, joint access points, joint parking and coor- <br /> dinated planning for adjacent sites will aid in alleviating <br /> problems normally associated with highway business development. <br /> <br />Shopping Center (CR) <br /> <br />Of the three generally accepted classifications of Shopping Centers - <br />neighborhood, community and regional - it is Iikely that only the <br />smaller neighborhood types will be developed in Ramsey. The shopping <br />center is a response to our increased use of automobiles and the ineffi- <br />ciencies of the traditional "Downtown Business District". Centers are <br />characterized by excellent accessibility, extensive parking areas, uni- <br />form building character, single or unified ownership and separation of <br />the automobile and pedestrian. <br /> <br /> <br />
