Village Node Density Study (Figure 4-3).
Within this study, Village nodes are located within
each planning area. Some planning areas are
impacted by more than one Village node depending
on anticipated development patterns. The
intersections which will attract both vehicular and
to take on additional circular radiating bands
previous overall density overlay. These densities
are depicted within the individual planning area
analysis and land use plans. The density bands
to 1 hu/acre along the edges of the planning
areas. These numbers increase and decrease
based on proximity to surrounding land uses,
commercial nodes. The density nodes are then
space allocations.
The locations of the walkable nodes and radiating
bands provide a method to re-calculate the development
potential for each planning area, which
leads to units and developable acreages. The
individual planning areas are in the sub area.
The Village Node Density Study follows the
overall concept of transect planning: rural areas
located along the edge have low intensities while
development closer to the urban core provides
characteristics that are compact, mix uses at
higher intensities. Gradually, densities increase
in the direction toward the Village core, transitioning
from the rural to suburban to urban. In addition,
this framework encourages growth closer to
the Village core, therefore decreasing sprawling
development at the edges.
