ATTACHMENT Newthern Slimly Alm To ga of CJ1r rip STUDY R LAND U5E PLAN ' FLOATING ZONES `Residential Mixed-Use Village Ceram - Mixed-use village centers provide for planned village developments on lariger tracts of land' Theo village centers will be allowed in a newly created floating zone that in addition•to basic acreage requirements will impose "good neighbors' perfomiance standards designed to protect existing residents from negative impacts generally associated with new development, . . Proposed uses in the Village Floating Zone include: residential, neighborhood-scale ocannercial. and neighborhood-scale office. Ire.order to ensure that village-style development is internally consistept, it should be developed as one Fla t. by one developer. Acceptable site plans require integration of neo-traditionat design ideas to ate a neighborhood-wale, pedestrian friendly development. Park land and open space within the development should be plentiful and readily accessible to all residents without need for automobile travel. Ali residential aims should be i one quarter mile of a village center, where commercial and office establishments aie located. Streets Whin the deveiopment should be laid out in a pattern . that provides for multiple routes to destinations and dispqrscs traffic among many meets. The village should also lie served by a network of bicycle and pedestrian paths which connect with . pathways along the Bolin Lek greenway. A.n astable site design will also inc.lnde provision for wit facilities and transit access, The overall target densities for the mixed use area is 5 dwelling units per acre. The overall target density for the entire Study Area is approximately the same as the current density of Carr ro; 2.1 dwelling units per acre. A portion of the developable land area will be dedicated to commercial and office uses, with the possibility.of incoming commercial acme with higher residential densities. Areas for open space, parks, an.d conservation will be determined either through the recently passed open space ordinance or through the use of performan.ce-based criteria for these types of uses. The village mixed-use areas will host a varicty of housing types, styles, and prices, including single family residences, #.o rs, and rental apartments. Cap densities for market-rate housing at 3 dwelling units per acre so that bonus densities of 4 to 5 dwelling units per acre could be offered while. still allowing for a minimum of 40 percent of the developable land being designated open space (connected with the townwide greenway network). . Neighborhood Mixed-Use - New housing developments in neighborhood mi xed-use was will he clustered in order to preserve sensitive environmental features and provide open space to residents. Some commercial uses will be allowed in these zones, subject to "good nei gh1nr}' p‘iirforinan= stand& relating to impacts from traffc, noise, hours of operatic lighting. and aesthetics. New collector roads in these areas should be built on a grid ratter_ Bicycle and pedestrian pathways to provide access and ration should be developed as well. A mixture of housing types, styles, and prices will be encouraged in these areas.
