10 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
11 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
12 Recommendations
13 Establish dif ifferent development areas • Recategorize Planned Villages • Encourage different levels of development • South Sub-Planning Area/Village • North Sub-Planning Area/Village
