wau+! <br /> Town of M aS h e e Aanniniq Board <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Aashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 <br /> - Historical Areas <br /> - Maritime Areas <br /> - Community Activity Centers <br /> - Industrial Activity Centers <br /> - Military and Transportation Areas <br /> The focus of much of the RPP update and Growth Policy was the identification of Community Activity <br /> Centers. <br /> - Concentration of business and community in a compact built environment with buildings <br /> connected to sidewalks and streets. More walkable and more densely developed than <br /> the other place types. Mixed commercial and residential uses that make it possible to <br /> live and work within the same walking distance. <br /> - The vision is to accommodate mixed use, multifamily, residential, and walkable vibrant <br /> areas. Preserving historic buildings, providing diverse services, shopping, recreation, <br /> civic spaces, housing, and job opportunities at a scale of growth and development <br /> desired by the community. <br /> There are 17 CAC's across Cape Cod. Based on existing features and conditions, towns play a key role <br /> in the vision. These are areas identified with strong foundation and future focused growth. Activity <br /> Centers have different scales, sizes, and intensities. Some may share characteristics to a neighboring <br /> community, one may have a historic village, while another has an urban downtown area. <br /> Strategies for implementation for CAC's <br /> - Encouraging mixed used commercial and residential development in compact form <br /> - Supporting a vibrant downtown area <br /> - Encouraging development at a human scale that facilitates interaction and community <br /> - Developing infrastructure necessary to support a greater density and mix of uses <br /> - Access to transit <br /> - Streetscapes that enhance built environment <br /> Lastly, there are performance measures that help illustrate whether the region is moving forward toward <br /> their RPP vision as a vibrant sustainable healthy community. <br /> Ex.: An increase in housing diversity, in terms of housing type, size, and rental vs ownership, will show <br /> there are more opportunities for all ages and economic backgrounds. <br /> Ex.: An Increase in the number of protected habitat acres will show progress toward safeguarding our <br /> natural environment. <br /> Ex.: Increasing the number of parcels connected to the sidewalk will indicate increased stability for <br /> people to walk instead of using vehicles. <br /> This background information will pave the way for how we look at consistency with RPP in terms of <br /> projects that get reviewed by the Commission through the Development Agreement process. <br /> What is a Development Agreement? <br /> 3 <br />
