3 <br />OVERVIEW (continued) <br />C) Village Mixed Use (VMU) districts aze also a unique concept to the Northern Study <br />Area and do not have any direct linkage to the existing regulations. The intent was to <br />create three mini-town centers in the rural area that could provide a mix of housing <br />types and include commercial service and work environments while providing <br />enhanced open space. This concept creates internal pedestrian and vehicle traffic to <br />decrease the external traffic along rural roads to the major town center of Carrboro. <br />Carrboro will still provide the subregional services of the town, country and VMU <br />districts. VMU's also offer a favorable alternative to multiple, regimented, small <br />-subdivisions that often, if not well planned, create a rural roadscape with many road <br />capacity limiting driveways and loss of roadside, native landscape buffers. <br />-. <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
