Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan <br /> As part of the 2017 Transportation Study, the planning area was divided into eighteen potential development <br /> sites called "pods". These sites were analyzed and their maximum buildable area was determined APPENDIX B. <br /> Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)trip generations were also evaluated to ascertain development impact <br /> on the transportation network. The Pod analysis, street cross sections and intersection improvements were <br /> developed to help identify and mitigate the traffic impact through this process and made as part of updated <br /> AMP. <br /> The analysis completed as part of the Study estimates a total 638.2 buildable acres (27.73% of 2301.5 gross <br /> acres), due to environmental constraints and other factors. Pods range in size from 22 to 362 acres. A summary <br /> of each pod's buildable acres is shown below (TABLE 2 & FIGURE 11). Refer to the 2017 Transportation Study in <br /> APPENDIX B for additional information and assumptions used in the analysis. <br /> Figure 11:POD Delineation Process <br /> Gross Buildable Constraints/ Percentage Total <br /> Acres Acres ibutes Buildable <br /> 1 343.41 86.79 256.62 2 <br /> 2 75.35 19.06 56.29 25.29% <br /> 3 257.53 81.01 176.52 31.46% Minus currentdevelopment <br /> 4 362.35 135.16 227.19 37.30% <br /> 5 138.95 0.00 138.95 0.00% <br /> 6 109.73 19.65 90.08 17.91% <br /> 7 22.01 7.47 14.54 33.94% Minus environmental <br /> 8 243.19 70.07 173.12 28.81% constraints <br /> 9 55.96 18.15 37.81 32.43% <br /> 10 192.12 48.60 143.52 25.30% <br /> 11 62.20 7.14 55.06 11.48% <br /> 12 35.32 4.91 30.41 13.92% Minusother attributes <br /> 13 49.26 15.23 34.03 30.91% <br /> 14 63.26 8.52 54.74 13.47% <br /> 15 49.91 11.07 38.84 22.19% <br /> 16 23.59 1.76 21.83 7.44% Buildable acres <br /> 17 144.61 79.31 65.30 54.84% <br /> 18 72.77 24.28 48.49 33.36% <br /> Total 2301.52 638.17 1663.35 27.73% <br /> Table 2:POD Buildable Acreage <br /> Orange County Planning Department Page 14 <br />
