mixed residential place type
The Mixed Residential Place Type (orange) allows multi-story apartment buildings, condos, and townhomes at densities that support transit. Taller multi-family buildings are located along “A” streets and can have over 12 units per building. Shorter buildings on local streets can have 5 to 12 units per building.
Density per acre is 12 to 46. Even 12 per acre is too high for two lane roads and rural areas.
Many areas in the White Oak Mountain Area 12 Plan are designated as Mixed Residential.
Please ask the RPA, Commissioner Helton, and Commissioner Eversole to remove this Place Type from two lane roads and rural areas.
suburban residential place type
Suburban Residential Place Type (yellow) allows single family detached, townhomes (up to 4 units per building), multi-unit housing (2-4 units per building), and mobile home parks.
The density is 2 to 7 per acre. Seven per acre is too high for two lane roads and rural areas.
A vast amount of the White Oak Mountain Area 12 Plan is designated as Suburban Residential.
Please ask the RPA, Commissioner Helton, and Commissioner Eversole to remove this Place Type from two lane roads and rural areas.
