CHAPTER 2 LAND USE 15 <br /> Office and/or medical facilities have developed at each of these area in recent years also. <br /> Smaller concentrations of business development exist in other locations as well. Convenience <br /> retail is located at County Road E and Silver Lake Road; and along County Road D. <br /> Highway 8 near 5th Street has developed a mix of land uses including auto-oriented <br /> businesses, clubs and industrial businesses. These areas.will all continue to exist and, in <br /> some cases, grow. The interchange at I-694 and 10th Street NW represents a new office <br /> development site; as does the I-35W/Highway 96 interchange. The 10th Street office site is <br /> a key entrance leading to the downtown area, while the Highway.96 site is a key entrance to <br /> the Highway 8 Corridor. Development of both of these sites should be done carefully to <br /> create a positive image for the community at large and to encourage quality development in <br /> the rest of the downtown and Highway 8 redevelopment areas. <br /> The existing and proposed amounts of commercial land use by acreage and category is <br /> graphically portrayed in Figures 2A and 2B. <br /> Of the designated commercial acreage, approximately 30 acres are presently vacant. <br />
