I. • • • Medium density residential development, while having a maximum allowable density • of 5 dwelling units per acre, will be built-out at an average of 3 dwelling units per acre with 2 persons per unit. • • • High density residential development, while having a maximum allowable density of • 12 dwelling units per acre, will be built-out at an average of 6 dwelling units per acre with 2 persons per unit. • • Based on these assumptions, the computations indicate an additional 606 dwelling units can be 41 accommodated within the primary development area. The estimated population equivalent of the new residential development amounts to 1,400 persons. See Table 9. • • Table 9: Built-Out Scenario • Persons/ Average Additional Acres Proposed Residential Land Uses Household du/acre Units Population • • 46 Additional L,ow Density 2.5 2 92 230 • 174 Additional Medium Density 2 3 522 1044 11 Additional High Density 2 6 66 132 • Total 680 1406 • • Commercial The Development Plan proposes commercial development to occur in concentrated "nodes" as • opposed to encouraging further "strip" commercial. These commercial areas have been sited adjacent to the arterial street network where site access should be carefully controlled with cross access agreements encouraged through the site plan approval process. • • The area in the NW & SW quadrants of USH 12/18 and STH 134 is strategically located within the Cambridge primary trade area. Access and visibility from USH 12/18 is an advantage to locating a shopping center in this vicinity. However, even with the excellent access, it is imperative that an internal road network be incorporated within any site in order to control traffic to and from the arterial network. The intended types of commercial uses in the area will vary depending on the intersection at 0 which the commercial area is located. At the intersection of USH 12/18 and STH 134 in the SW, NW and NE portions of the node, it is proposed that highway commercial uses be • developed. These uses are those that typically service the needs of the entire community and larger trade areas and not necessarily those of nearby neighborhoods. At the SE quadrant of the intersection, it is proposed that highway commercial uses be developed. These uses primarily serve the needs of those in the nearby vicinity and community as a whole. 43 111 111
