Some of the recreation facility needs identified in the plan may also inform the Downtown Streetscape Plan as this design effort may incorporate some of these facilities into the preferred design. FIGURE 4. MASTER PLAN MAP FROM PARKS AND GREENWAYS MASTER PLAN Unified Development Ordinance (2003). The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) provides for the regulation of development within the town and planning limits of Garner. Intended to provide for the general welfare of Garner’s residents, the UDO is the implementation tool for the Comprehensive Growth Plan and ensures the adequate provision or availability of transportation, police and fire protection, water, sewage disposal, parks and other recreational facilities, affordable housing, disaster evacuation and other public services through the review of development applications and enforcement of the Town’s Municipal Code. Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the UDO are of most relevance to the Chapter 1: History and Planning Context Page | 14
Transportation Plan. Article 6 provides for Development Standards of different types of land uses while Article 7 outlines landscaping and parking requirements for development. These sections will help inform the process and may be recommended for modifications for the Garner Road and Main Street areas based on the outcomes of the Streetscape Plan. Sidewalk Master Plan (2001). The sidewalk master planning effort resulted in a map covering the Garner Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) as of 2001. The plan identified existing sidewalks and greenways and proposed primary and secondary connections. New facility recommendations consisted solely of improvements connecting the sidewalk system to schools, Town Hall and the library. Although not specifically documented on the map, the plan also identified those improvements that could post a construction constraint. The Sidewalk Master Plan has been updated as part of this Transportation Plan. Hazard Mitigation Plan (2004). The Hazard Mitigation Plan was developed to comply with federal and state requirements and to reduce Garner’s exposure to natural hazards by limiting development in hazard sensitive areas, including floodplain or flood hazard areas. While there was limited inclusion of transportation‐specific measures in the plan, there were some mitigation actions that related to the Streetscape and Transportation Plan for Garner. These include: • Keeping infrastructure extensions out of hazardous areas in order limit development in known hazardous areas; • Zoning ordinances that minimize impervious surface coverage; • Implementing soil erosion and sedimentation control measures in the development approval process; • Addressing street connectivity as well as paving and widening of roads for evacuation routes; and • Amending landscape ordinance requirements for maintenance of pervious surface areas for stormwater detention. Wake County Transportation Plan (2003). The Wake County Transportation Plan focuses on unincorporated areas of Wake County, including many corridors that connect to and through Garner. One goal of the Garner Transportation Plan was to match or recommend modifications to create a seamless future transportation system between the Town of Garner and Wake County. Ideally, this transportation system would be consistent or transition smoothly from one jurisdiction to Chapter 1: History and Planning Context Page | 15
