t � <br /> 3 <br /> OVERVIEW(continued) <br /> C) Village Mixed Use(VMU)districts are 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 raadscape with many road <br /> capacity limiting driveways and loss of roadside,native landscape buffers. <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br />
