mixed residential place type
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 "main" 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. You read that right, 12 to 46 homes on one acre of land.
There is a large mixed residential proposed off of 127, per the image to the right.
We didn't ask for large urban areas or bus service in our plan. We asked for our rural area to be preserved.
Please ask County Commissioners and the Regional Planning Agency to remove the Mixed Residential Place Type from our area plan.
It just doesn't fit!
