Additionally, the market for larger retail users is quickly changing with adapting <br />technologies. The City's market experts have encouraged the City to re-evaluate its retail strategies. <br />EMPHASIS: The City continues to plan for a significant amount of retail growth within The COR and <br />throughout the community. The recommendations below are not intended to de-emphasize our retail <br />goals, yet strengthen said retail goals and focus on more appropriate areas for future growth. <br />Planning Commission Recommendation: <br />The northwest quadrant of the development (bordered <br />by Armstrong Boulevard, Bunker Lake Boulevard, <br />Zeolite Street, and Sunwood Drive) should be amended <br />to strengthen the LAKE ITASCA GREENWAY, create <br />SMALLER DESTINATION RETAIL USERS. Half of this <br />quadrant should be re -guided for an APPROPRIATE <br />RESIDENTIAL USE, with DENSITY appropriate for the <br />type of overall land use plan for The COR. <br />This is the area of MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE recommended by the Planning Commission. The <br />Planning Commission collaborated on developing multiple land use scenarios. The overall approach was <br />to divide the northwest quadrant into four (4) smaller sub -quadrants divided by future public roadways <br />and greenways and allocating half the quadrants to smaller, destination retailers and the other half to <br />residential uses. Based on feedback and reconciling multiple angles of consensus, the land use map <br />below represents the primary recommended land use map. <br />It is our mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-ef,Jective and efficient government services. <br />The COR Interim Development Plan Page 7 of 20 <br />
