Hillside Commercial Vision• Function and Form:
• Low density, lower traffic commercial uses• Mining and re-mining• Utilize these identifiable, relatively accessible private parcels
and mining claims as feasible• Preserve and stabilize mining structures• Remediation of mining hazards, site reclamation• Careful site selection and design, not all properties are
feasible for construction. • Sensitivity to scenic impacts and ridgeline encroachments
• Infrastructure:• Establish safe and well constructed access driveways• Minimize cut and fill, scarring and erosion• Formally designate existing trail routes• Water and sewer infrastructure likely to be costly, lower
water uses advisable
