Land Use and Zoning:•Zoning includes a mix of

commercial, office, and single- and multi-family residential.

•Uses anticipated for the sub-area are generally allowed by current zoning.

•No provision in CCB or OFF zone for horizontal mixed-use with residential.

Key Considerations

- 9 -

Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces:

•Further identification of proposed park and trail facilities is needed.

•Develop a useable open space network to support quality of life.

•Consider relocation of CP-5 and trail connections.

Key Considerations

- 10 -

Critical Areas:•Wetlands, habitat

conservation areas, and steep slopes comprise approx. 298 acres within the study area.

•Critical areas will impact future development and must be considered in the development of sub-area plan concept plans.

Key Considerations

Key Considerations

- 12 -Water

Utility Infrastructure and Capacity •Regional water and sewer

infrastructure investments are planned along southern corridor of 45th Avenue.

•Systems currently planned provide sufficient water and sewer capacity for the majority of the sub-area.

Utility Infrastructure and Capacity Key Considerations

- 13 -Sewer

•Due to topographic constraints, parcels to the southwest of the Pioneer and 45th intersection may require off-site sewer extension to the west for service.

Transportation:•Collector connections are

needed south of Pioneer and west of 45th.

•Collector connection needed north of Pioneer between 45th and Reiman.

•Planned 279th collector should extend west of 35th Place to keep local trips off of Pioneer.

Key Considerations

- 14 -

•733 acres total •< 40 developed•298 critical lands•112 infrastructure•~310 net buildable1,700 housing units + 2,500 jobs @ build-out
