Land Use Trends
• Land use principles are experiencing a migration
from traditional zoning to sustainable
communities.
• Traditional zoning is a less efficient way to utilize
the land and more costly to maintain.
• More emphasis has been placed on mixed used
developments.
Why Get The Mix Right?
[YT &ft,
• 30% more energy used.
• 2 to 4 times poorer water quality.
• 25% to 50% more time in our cars.
• 50% to 80% more land used.
• Public transportation is not an option.
• 20% to 25% of your income is spent on cars.
of
Why Mixed Use Developments (MXD)?
• MXD projects focus on pedestrian friendly
communities.
• Integrate vertical construction methods to
achieve efficient land usage.
• Focus on integrating transit systems within
projects to offer alternative methods of
transportation (Transit Oriented Design /TOD).
u
Examples Of Approved MXD Projects
• Donald Ross Village
• Borland Center
PGA Commons
• Gardens Station

development and redevelopment opportunities
within the City.

How is TOD Implemented?
• Provide opportunities for multi -modal
transportation systems.

have transit.
• Plan a network of roads with high level of
connectivity and short biocks.

Mixing of Land Uses
• Balance commercial, residential, recreational,
educational land uses, especially between jobs

communities.
• Zone areas by building type not use.
• Consider a variety of land uses vertically and
horizontally.
