PREFERRED GROWTH SCENARIO

Primary Land Uses Secondary Land Uses · Public/Institutional · Parks and Open Space · Small to Medium Scale Commercial · Mixed-Use Commercial Mobility Characteristics · Medium density road network, primarily collector and local streets · Sidewalks · Dedicated bike facilities on higher order streets NEIGHBORHOOD MEDIUM · Attached Single-Family Residential · Accessory Dwelling Units · Low to Medium-Scale Multi-family Residential

· Transit connections on collectors and on larger key corridors in or around neighborhood

· Primarily self parked in garages, carports, and driveways · Small off-street parking lots

· Small structured parking · Also on-street where feasible

Parking

· Neighborhood Parks to provide active and passive recreation opportunities for nearby residents · Community Parks to provide recreational opportunities, as well as integrated stormwater features · Pocket Parks and Plazas to help activate smaller spaces and provide opportunities for placemaking elements · Trails and Greenways to provide transportation and recreational opportunities connecting to and through the area · Common Open Space with integrated stormwater features and green infrastructure, flood mitigation, passive recreation amenities, and/or gathering spaces

Parks and Open Space

· Mixed Use Medium · Mixed Use Low · Commercial/Employment Medium

· Neighborhood Low · Neighborhood Transition · Neighborhood High

Desirable Transitions

· Higher housing diversity and density generally reduces cost to serve; location of development can vary impact significantly · Greater cost to serve if located far from existing fire stations, outside of Hays County, or outside existing water and sewer service areas
