It serves or is designed to serve at least 10, but not more than 25 dwelling units, and carries between 75 and 200 trips per day. Minor Street A street whose sole function is to provide access to abutting properties. It serves or is designed to serve 9 or less dwelling units, and carries up to 75 trips per day. Neighborhood Mixed -Use These areas are intended to be predominantly residential, but allow for some appropriately- scaled commercial activities. However, commercial activities in these areas are subject to design and performance standards to ensure that they do not create negative impacts on neighbors. Residential developments in these areas are clustered to preserve sensitive environmental areas and public open space. Subcollector Street A street whose principle function is to provide access to abutting properties, but can also be used to connect minor or local streets with collector or arterial streets. They serve or are designed to serve at least 26, but not more than 100 dwelling units, and carry between 200 and 800 trips per day. Village Mixed -Use Modeled after the ideas of Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater - Zyberk, these areas are pedestrian- scaled, mixed -use communities. Each village area is no more than one -half mile across so that residents are able to walk to destinations within the village. In the denser central areas of these developments there is a mixture of commercial, office, and residential uses. Commercial. activities in these areas are intended to serve only the residents of the community and should not attract a large number of consumers from outside of the village.
