Focusing new commercial services in existing commercial areas, "the 'village retail' district will create an attractive pedestrian-oriented retail center to serve new residents in the southwest annexation (as well as providing a unique shopping experience in the city). The downtown district targets visitors’ service businesses through historic preservation, street improvements, and by encouraging small cottage industries in existing structures" 2. Restrict new commercial development outside the current commercially zoned area along Yelm venue. Proposed Southwest Annex District [Thurston Highlands] Higher density development, involving a mix of multifamily and single-family units should be located near Yelm Avenue to encourage pedestrian trips to the Village Retail District [current downtown]. Commercial development should be kept to a minimum. Allow only small neighborhood-oriented commercial, such as small grocery stores. ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES SUGGESTED FOR THE HIGHLANDS OFFER LARGE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY. THERE WAS NO ALTERNATIVE PRESENTED WITH LIMITED COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY THAT FOLLOWED THE VISION STATEMENT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THIS DRAFT EIS SHOULD BE REWORKED TO INCLUDE AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN WITH LIMITED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT! Cynthia Bacon 14522 Solberg Rd.
