• <br /> (2) <br /> 025 <br /> III. Analysis <br /> Attachment 7 A. Physio-Access Districts Map <br /> 1. Produced by overlaying slope, orientation, woodlands, <br /> soils, and relative accessibility levels maps. <br /> 2. Defines 36 physiographic types, and their relative <br /> accessibility, based on: <br /> a. slope (values of 1 - 4) <br /> b. orientation - W (warm) or C (cold) <br /> c. T (trees on site) <br /> d. soil d - D (desirable), ,M (marginal), or U (undesirable) <br /> 3. Types identified by combination of the 4 physiographic <br /> characteristics, e.g. , 2WTM would be a district with 11 <br /> Jr, <br /> a. 5-10% slope <br /> lat <br /> b. warm slope orientation <br /> c. tree coverage <br /> d. marginal soils <br /> B. Designation of developement intensity types to physio-access IA" <br /> district type. <br /> 1. Working jointly with Chapel Hill and Carrboro development•intensity types are defined and applied to Table 1. <br /> 2. In general, development intensity types falling in the <br /> upper left quadrant of the table are most suited to high <br /> • A <br /> intensity development while those falling in, the lower <br /> right are least suited. <br /> C. Development Intensity Map <br /> 1. Using Table 1 "in conjunction with physio-access districts <br /> map, development intensity plan is derived. <br /> Attachment 8 2. With development map in hand, development of plan alternatives ; <br /> can proceed by applying the following: <br /> a. population projections <br /> b. location standards <br /> c. goals & objectives <br /> d. utility service areas <br /> It <br /> • t;zr, ; <br /> ' 04 <br /> • <br /> !!.) <br />
