Online Survey
Stakeholder In Interviews
Development community
- Current commercial requirements don’t work
- Little developable land left in the RP-2 areas
- Would like to see design guidelines
- Not in favor of planned villages, make it more
about mobility
10
Stakeholder In Interviews
Community
- Supporting infrastructure before development
- Density – no more than 2 dwelling units per acre,
½ acre lots (not in favor of clustering, TDR)
- Preserve green and natural spaces
- 250’ setbacks
- Minimize light pollution
- Include local commercial opportunities

Establish dif ifferent development areas
- Recategorize

Red text indicates proposed updates
Community benefit options:
- Land dedication for town center
- Multimodal connections to commercial
- Other infrastructure improvements in
nearby commercial nodes (Balm downtown, other nodes, etc.)
- Land dedication for community uses
and office uses
Update Commercial Poli licies
15
Density bonuses for (requirements vary based on size of project):
- Different housing types and sizes
- Different lot sizes
- Additional open space and preservation
- Utilize Conservation subdivision standards
- Additional optional infrastructure
improvements
- Land dedication: schools, daycares,
civic or community uses etc.
- Green/sustainable building patterns
- Rural architectural style for buildings
Community Benefits
16
- Buffering
- 250’ with minimum landscape standards on the periphery
- If Less than 250’ greater buffering & screening requirements
- Varying lot sizes/setbacks
- Encourage a range of housing types/sizes
- Discourage cookie cutter development
- Multimodal access/circulation
- Green and open space
- Conservation measures
- Water conservation, lighting, etc.
