Vision SMTX Appendix Adopted 2024

APPENDIX E: PREFERRED GROWTH SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT

The other category looked at High Level Land Use. The 10 development types from the Detailed Alternative Scenarios we grouped into four categories:

Commercial/ Employment Highway Commercial, Lower Density Employment, Medium Density Employment, and Campus categories were grouped into this classification. The map below illustrates large concentrations of this high-level land use up north and along corridors Mixed-Use Center The Community Activity Center development type was translated into the Mixed-Use Center high level land use. The intention for this land use was to distribute neighborhood centers throughout the city rather than concentrating them to a specific location by placing them at the second city center (“East Village”), downtown, and along corridors. Neighborhood The Development type categories that were grouped into the Neighborhood high-level land use classification includes Lower Density Neighborhood, Medium Density Neighborhood, Higher Density Neighborhood, and Neighborhood Commercial/ Center. Conservation/ Reserve The Parks/ Open Space/ Natural Areas and Vacant development types were translated into the Conservation/ Reserve high-level land use category. This category includes areas that should be held off on developing.
