PAGE 61 – JPA LAND USE PLAN LOCATION STANDARDS The principal task in formulating a land use plan is determining where specific land uses will be located. The primary elements feeding into this step include the operating principles outlined previously and a defined set of location standards. The location standards proposed for the preparation of the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan are based upon previously enumerated background elements – natural environment and compatibility with existing land use patterns. On the accompanying page, there elements are listed on the horizontal axis of the Location Standards Matrix. Included in the matrix, but not previously defined are various street classifications listed under Transportation Accessibility. These classifications are defined as follows: STREET CLASSIFICATIONS STREET TYPE FUNCTION SPEED ROW DAILY VOLUME TRIP LENGTH ACCESS TRAVEL LANES INTERSTATE Movement 55 mph 200-300’ >40K >3 mi. Limited 4 ARTERIAL Movement 45 mph 120-150’ 10K-25K >1 mi. Unlimited 4 COLLECTOR Movement/A ccess 35 mph 60-70’ 800-3K <1 mi. Unlimited 2 LOCAL Access 25 mph 50’ 75-200 <1/2 mi. Unlimited 2 Listed on the vertical axis are the general land use planning categories. By locating the desired land plan category on the vertical axis, it is possible to read from left to right and identify by the “X” symbol desired locations for each land use type. CONCEPTS AND STRATEGIES Following the November Public Information Meeting, four alternative strategy maps were prepared with illustrated various development scenarios for the Joint Planning Area. The four maps sought to identify those areas which would be classified as urban, transition, and rural buffer without identifying specific 10 and 20 year growth areas. The four maps are reproduced in sketch form on the following pages. The basis premises governing each alternative are listed below. 126
