Outlot development can help screen parking areas <br /> and provide a more enclosed pedestrian environment. <br /> It would also provide new opportunities for commercial <br /> development along the primarily built out Highway 169 <br /> corridor. <br /> To promote outlet development,the City should review <br /> and assess its land development regulations and elimi- <br /> nate any barriers to the consolidation and development of Example:"Third Place"providing activity space for children <br /> parking lots along the Highway 169 corridor.Barriers couldUNDERUTILIZED PARKING • <br /> include onerous parking requirements,a lack of flexibility <br /> for shared parking or off-site parking,or excessive setback <br /> requirements.The City should also consider establishing <br /> standards for outlet development that address the unique <br /> needs of these types of buildings,including the need for <br /> additional signage facing parking areas and rights-of-way, <br /> and the need to accommodate service areas while mini- <br /> mizing their visibility. <br /> "THIRD PLACE" & OUTLOT DEVELOPMENT (Underutilized <br /> LZ <br /> Clear Pedestrain Circulation �- <br /> �dewalk C•onnect�ons within <br /> Pathwa s in Parkin Lot Site and to Surrounding <br /> y g Neighborhood ' <br /> Nd <br /> N\ <br /> "Third Place PYublic Gathering Areas <br /> E� e ' �.......... <br /> Development Holds the <br /> Frontage of the Site <br /> Elk River Comprehensive Plan Economic Development Plan 55 <br /> DRAFT FOR REVIEW ONLY <br />
