By not accounting for the Uriiversity's growth potential and the development authorized <br />through zoning, we can not account for the possible positive and negative impacts on <br />issues we hope to address. It also appears that we greatly underestimate growth potential. <br />I would like the Work Group to consider asking the Town staff to update the attached tables <br />and do a build-out analysis by Town districts (defined by specific residential areas, commer- <br />cial/office areas, and University-owned land). I believe the Town's GIS system has the data <br />layers needed; alternatively, the Town could ask TJCOG to conduct the analysis using its <br />GIS system. The projections could consider <br />- current structures plus the capacity for infill on the remaining underdeveloped and <br />undeveloped land,or <br />- capacity for complete redevelopment and infill, or <br />- both scenarios. <br />Well, when you asked me to write a memo about my concerns/ideas, this is probably more <br />than you ever wanted! If it would be helpful, I would be happy to share with the staff differ- <br />ent buildout approaches that we use at Tetra Tech or recommendations from others such as <br />Randal Arendt. I'm sure that our project consultants have similar approaches. <br />Thank you for considering these suggestions. <br />Attachment <br />
