4 <br /> 3. Site Analysis <br /> During Phase II,JJR classified the 2,000+acres in the two properties into sub-areas of differing <br /> sensitivity to development,ranging from areas that should be protected from future development to areas that <br /> could be developed for a wide variety of uses. At Horace Williams,they determined that 530 acres are suitable <br /> for prime development,assuming that the airport remains. Another 200 acres might be developed for more <br /> restricted uses. <br /> At Mason Farm,because of the extensive flood plain and environmentally sensitive area there,JJR <br /> found that only 128 acres were suitable for more intensive development. This developable area is near the <br /> Friday Center. Another 130 developable acres are present on the Parker Property,but this area is more <br /> inconveniently located. <br /> 4. Alternative Plans <br /> As Phase III,JJR generated alternative possible development plans for the Horace Williams property <br /> and for the area of Mason Farm near the Friday Center. The alternatives differed according to the amount.of <br /> land area devoted to each use group,the locations of principal land uses,and the internal road circulation <br /> patterns to serve those uses. <br /> All of the alternative land use plans for the Horace Williams property anticipated a"build-out" <br /> capacity of 6 million square feet(MSF). This is the amount of development the existing road network could <br /> support without increasing traffic congestion beyond an acceptable level. However,the build-out capacity <br /> could be increased with corresponding improvements in transit service to the property and reductions in <br /> automobile travel demand. These improvements are suggested by the presence of the existing railroad corridor <br /> that connects with the central campus. If this corridor were improved to accommodate a dedicated busway <br /> ($17M),build-out capacity might be increased to 7.5 MSF. Similarly,if light rail transit service could be <br /> established($25M),build-out capacity might approach 9.0 MSF. <br /> Development opportunities are far more limited at Mason Farm. Because of the extensive presence of <br /> environmentally sensitive areas and prior-committed uses,only a small area around the Friday Center can <br /> accommodate additional development- A framework was proposed that would provide a coherent plan for <br /> constructing an additional 480,000 SF in this area. <br /> At the end of November,a detailed presentation of these alternative plans was given to the six <br /> advisory committees.After allowing time to study these materials,JJR returned in March to seek feedback from <br /> these committees. Also in March,JJR will made a presentation to the Board of Trustees,summarizing the <br /> comments received and seeking guidance from the Board for the future direction of the planning effort. <br /> 5.Current Status and Next Steps <br /> As Phase IV,JJR developed a single proposed plan for each property,incorporating the comments and <br /> directions that have been received in response to the alternative plans. These were presented to the six advisory <br /> committees in May,and the handouts from these presentations are attached. After collecting feedback on these <br /> proposals through the Summer,final adjustments will be made. Final documentation be presented to the Board <br /> of Trustees for adoption this Fall. <br /> [SAnUPDATE] <br />
