NC 54/I-40 Corridor Master Plan Draft Land Use Blueprint

Introduction The following presents a summary of Community Elements as recommended for consideration in the NC 54 study corridor. Images are provided to illustrate the design intent relative to building, massing and parking requirements. Community Elements are organized by location: 1. those within the first 1/4 mile of a proposed light rail station area 2. those between 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile of a proposed light rail station area 3. those outside of the immediate station area vicinity. Each example shows the densities, massing and parking numbers that are specific to that example place. These examples serve to illustrate the types of development that could be implemented within the appropriate area.

Conceptual Land Use Mixed-Use 1 Mixed-Use 2 Residential 1 Residential 2 Employment NC 54 Corridor Concept

Concept Land Uses Five general land use types: 1. Mixed Use 1 higher density station area mixed use with primarily retail and office 2. Mixed Use 2 retail on bottom floor with residential above 3. Residential 1 mostly multi-family with neighborhood uses as appropriate 4. Residential 2 mostly single-family homes with neighborhood uses as appropriate 5. Employment could include office, institutional or medical centers. This includes some mix of land uses and will be transit oriented to the maximum extent possible

Concept Land Uses Five general land use categories: Mixed Use 1 Mixed Use 2 Residential 1 Residential 2 Employment No. of stories 3 8 2 4 2 4 1 3 4 12 Floor-to-area ratios (nonresidential) Dwelling Units per Acre Employees per Acre 1.25 2.25 1.0 1.5 - - 0.5 1.0 35 75 25 35 15 35 6 10-45 - 90 25-50 9-15 6-12 35-175

Station Area ¼ Mile Radius This is the most intense and walkable area of development. Parking ratios are kept as low as possible in this zone with access primarily directly from transit, walking trips from adjacent community and the park and ride facility. This zone is rich in employment and amenities to attract pedestrians. It includes restaurants and other retail opportunities

Station Area ¼ Mile Radius Parking In the immediate vicinity of station areas we recommend that on-site parking requirements are waived. To the extent possible parking should be accommodated in shared structured facilities or on-street. Additionally parking caps should apply as follow: Retail should be capped at 2.5 spaces / 1000 SF of usable shop area Office should be capped at 1.5 spaces / 1000 SF of usable office space Residential Parking should be capped at 1.25 spaces per unit

Station Area ½ Mile Radius Parking In the second ¼ mile we recommend that, except for residential uses, on-site parking requirements are waived. To the extent possible parking should be accommodated in shared surface facilities or on-street. This takes advantage of different peaks in demand. Additionally parking caps should apply as follow: Retail should be capped at 3 spaces / 1000 SF of usable shopping area Office should be capped at 2 spaces / 1000 SF of usable office space Residential should be capped at 1.5 spaces per unit

Station Area ½ Mile Radius The second ¼ mile from the stations has local-serving mixed-use and relatively dense housing stock. These include townhouses, apartment/condo and small lot single-family residences. The street network is connected with relatively small blocks. This retains the ease of walking through the district.

Other Mixed-Use Areas Other mixed-use areas provide services for residential areas beyond the immediate vicinity of transit stations. While they are pedestrian-oriented these retail and office developments also accommodate automobile access. They must be scaled to the neighborhoods they serve. The area for which the Community Element example is appropriate is indicated by the red area on the land use map.
