10 DRAFT 164 we're testing. I think you could also say these are the characteristics of each alternative map. 165 Alternative 3: Add low-impact mixed-use neighborhoods in strategic locations. This would be a 166 focus on creating conservation subdivisions that could include a mix of housing types and possibly 167 neighborhoods serving commercial areas. As the board knows,we do have, currently, the 168 provisions for flexible developments within our unified development ordinance, so we have 169 conservation subdivisions now. What would be tested here is really a denser version,so smaller 170 lots, higher open-space requirements, and we don't currently really have an example on the 171 ground of that type of a development. I think probably the best example would be the Fiddlehead 172 Corners project as being a type of relatively higher density, mixed-use neighborhood, so that type 173 of a development is what is being communicated through Alternative 3. And then of course 174 protect key ecological viable areas of each site. Will likely require municipal utility services or 175 certainly community systems to serve such a development. And identify locations within county's 176 jurisdiction near municipalities and outside of our water supply watershed critical areas, and 177 potentially testing those locations also in the rural buffer area. I'm going to skip through this. 178 You're familiar with this. Just a graphic example showing a conservation subdivision, more open 179 space and denser development, smaller lots. So,Alternative 4 adds higher-intensity mixed-use 180 centers in strategic locations. So that would be focus on maximizing available land that could 181 include a mix of housing types and commercial employment areas; protect currently required 182 areas such as our Resource Protection Areas, RPA. They will require municipal utility services to 183 serve development. Community systems may be an option. And identify locations within the 184 county's jurisdiction near municipalities and outside of our critical areas. And, again, potential 185 testing of locations in the rural buffer. 186 187 Charity Kirk: Can I ask a clarifying question? The difference between Alt 3 and Alt 4 is more the commercial 188 aspect of it? 189 190 Tom Altieri: More the commercial aspect, and more intense. There's an example. It's an aerial photograph. 191 It's of Southern Village. So that's the example that the consultant has used as an aerial image. 192 So, Fiddlehead,Alternative 3,and a Southern Village type development with Alternative 4. 193 194 Adam Beeman: Where's the water coming from? 195 196 Tom Altieri: I'm sorry? 197 198 Tom Altieri: Where it says a lot of these options need to be close to or could use municipal utilities, so that is 199 where the public water and sewer would be coming from in that Alternative. 200 201 Charity Krik: It said community services,too. It said community services as well. 202 203 Adam Beeman: Yeah, I know, but I'm not really a fan of going down that avenue because then we have multiple 204 people dealing with sewage around the county that may or may not keep up on their task. I prefer 205 that to be a governmental operation. But I'm just curious to know if there's a plan down the road, if 206 we go that route, if they plan on increasing their capacities. 207 208 Tom Altieri: We mentioned the use of community systems. We know what those are. But to achieve some of 209 these alternatives,we'd need a public utility provider. Orange County is not a utility provider, so 210 we would need those partnerships, and they would need to agree to serve it. So,this is where 1 211 said I wanted to just stop for questions. I've only got two slides after this,about what's coming 212 next, a little bit about outreach. So, additional questions on what I've presented thus far? 213 214 Marilyn Carter: Just a quick question. I know,Tom, you're going to mention the upcoming sessions for 215 community engagement. I imagine that the testing that you're talking about as part of the 216 engagement is going to happen in those sessions coming up? 217 218 Tom Altieri: It is.
