CurrentPolicyScenario
Very low-density dispersedpattern.50% rural residential (0.5du/acre). 1% mixed-use.Limited pedestrianconnections. No fixed-routetransit.Requires 100% of availableland (2,382 acres)*No changes to currentpolicy.
All of the land within theTown would be required toaccommodate future growthpatterns at low densities.Little to no land could bepreserved for open space.

Scenario1
Slightly increases thedensity of built up areas withinfill development.Large areas of town wouldbe developed with low tomedium density residentialand commercial.43% of available land couldbe preserved as open space.Low-density dispersedpattern.61% low-density residential(1-3 du/acre); 3% mixed-use.Pedestrian networks inresidential areas.Automobile access incommercial corridors.Requires 57% of availableland (1,050 acres less thanpolicy trend)Similar to current policy,emphasizing higherdensities.
