2. Access roadways should be kept to a minimum (both in number and dimension) consistent <br />with safety and efficient maintenance. Roadways should follow terrain contours with a <br />minimum number of straight segments. <br />3. All residential areas should be connected, where practical, by a public trail system suitable <br />for all-season use. <br />4. Appropriate non-residential uses should be accommodated in residential areas. <br />5. All residential uses should provide adequate off-street parking. <br />6.

Commercial development should be clustered along Highway 906 near Exits 52, 53 and 54, <br />rather than in a linear strip along the highway. <br />2. Neighborhood commercial centers should be conveniently located to meet local shopping <br />needs. <br />3. Commercial activities should be located in proximity to principal resort and transportation <br />facilities, such as near the bases of ski slopes and freeway interchanges. <br />4. All roadside parking should be limited to short-term service and delivery vehicles. Customer <br />parking for commercial uses should be located either under-structure or in designated lots <br />with practical visual screening. Joint use of off-street parking areas should be encouraged. <br />Pedestrian/skier access between uses should not be obstructed by vehicular parking. <br />5. Signage and advertising should follow a consistent design theme with an alpine or Cascadian <br />nature matching the Pass architecture. <br />6. A mixture of uses, including residential and community services, should be encouraged in <br />conjunction with commercial development. <br />7. Unscreened outside storage should be restricted in commercial areas. <br />Kittitas County <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />December 2016
