(W 23. Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) Criteria: <br /> Policy 18.1 of the County's comprehensive plan has the following criteria for TND <br /> developments: <br /> a. The minimum contiguous project land area shall be 40 acres. <br /> Note: The proposed project site is 186.33 acres, an amount that exceeds the 40 acre <br /> minimum. <br /> b. Land shall be under unified control, planned and developed as a whole in a <br /> single development or as an approved series of developments or neighborhoods. <br /> The project shall be approved under the Planned Development(PD) rezoning <br /> process. <br /> Note: The applicant controls the entire 186.33 acres and is pursuing the PD rezoning <br /> process, a process which requires a PD plan for the overall project. <br /> C. In order to disperse traffic by offering many alternative routes and connections <br /> between destinations within the project and to appropriate uses on adjacent sites, <br /> the street network shall consist of a grid or modified grid pattern and shall <br /> accommodate connections to appropriate uses on adjacent sites. <br /> (W Note: The applicant is proposing a modified grid system, consisting of roads, lanes, <br /> and driveways. That grid will have multiple connections to the public <br /> thoroughfare plan roadway system. <br /> d. Not more than 10%of blocks shall have a perimeter measuring more than 1,800 <br /> feet. Within commercial and mixed use areas,no block face dimension should <br /> exceed 400 feet. <br /> Note: None of the residential blocks measures more than 1,800' in length, and no <br /> Market Place/commercial area block face exceeds 400'. <br /> e. The project shall contain a network of interconnected streets, sidewalks, and <br /> pathways. <br /> Note: The development will have an interconnected system of streets, community <br /> trails, and sidewalks, as depicted and noted on the conceptual PD plan. <br /> f. Streets shall be designed to balance pedestrian and automobile needs, to <br /> discourage high automobile speeds,to effectively and efficiently accommodate <br /> transit systems, and to distribute and diffuse traffic rather than concentrate it. <br /> Note: The proposed multiple connections to existing and planned thoroughfare plan <br /> roads, modified grid for internal local streets, proposed transit stops, traffic <br /> calming designs, and pedestrian system meet this policy. The two transit stops <br /> are located along 58th Avenue and approved by MPO staff as potential future <br /> transit stop locations. <br /> FACommunity Deve1opment\CurDev\BCC\2013 BCC\ProvidencePointereport.doc 18 544 <br />
