III 1 . The Growth Management Plans Goals and Policies states <br /> that commercial development should be located to <br /> strengthen the downtown area and strip or scattered <br /> commercial along major roadways should be avoided. <br /> 2 . The Focus Area Study has set the foundation for a <br /> business park concept along with supporting <br /> commercial (not highway business) activity. This <br /> study involved the concensus of several people and <br /> established a vision for the community to develop a <br /> strong industrial tax and employment base. <br /> 3 . Commercial development opportunities currently exist <br /> along Highway 169 corridor, which should remain as <br /> the focus for commercial development continuing to <br /> serve the community and regional needs . This will <br /> strengthen the City' s position as destination <br /> shopping for residents throughout the trade area. <br /> 4 . Supplementing industrial zoned property with <br /> commercial without replacing the industrial elsewhere <br /> in the community only contributes further to <br /> depleting the available industrial inventory for <br /> development purposes . This in turn creates a greater <br /> imbalance of land use distribution between commercial <br /> • and industrial within the community. <br /> 5 . The HB (Highway Business) land use designation will <br /> allow commercial activities immediately adjacent to <br /> both future and existing residential area. Without a <br /> natural buffer or physical separation, the <br /> compatibility of Highway Business and Low Density <br /> Residential is questionable. <br /> If the Planning Commission decides to amend the land use plan, <br /> the following is recommended: <br /> - The commercial land use occur at the corner of the <br /> Joplin Street extension and Highway 10 . <br /> - The amount of property designated for commercial not <br /> exceed ten ( 10) acres . <br /> - Whatever amount of property is changed to commercial <br /> an equal amount of industrial be recaptured elsewhere <br /> within the community. <br /> • <br />
