It is a planning concept based on traditional small town neighborhoods. <br /> The variety of uses encourages business, civic buildings, and commercial establishments to be located <br /> in walking distance of mixed income residential neighborhoods and served by a network of paths <br /> designed for pedestrians and vehicles. <br /> Conventional Suburban Development Patterns <br /> Segregated land uses, separate housing, larger lots, auto dependent, minimal pedestrian and bike <br /> connectivity. <br /> 82% of the houses on Cape Cod are detached single family homes. <br /> 72% of the summer houses on Cape Cod are vacant most of the year. <br /> Median home prices have been increasing, income is not increasing. <br /> CCC incorporated 8 place types in their Regional Policy Plan: <br /> Natural, Rural, Suburban, Historic, Maritime, Community Activity Centers, Industrial, Military <br /> M ashpee was identif ied as a com m unity that could sustain the development of the Com m unity Activity <br /> Centers. Encourage mixed use development, human interaction, support greater density and mixed <br /> uses, and pocket parks with gathering spaces. <br /> In 1986, the outset of the traditional neighborhood design movement, this plan had already been <br /> conceived and envisioned for this place. The vision over time has remained the same. <br /> Traditional Neighborhood Design Density, lot coverage and setbacks in Mashpee Commons <br /> How did we arrive at residential and commercial density? <br /> Mr. Feronti explained this process is different than a DRI.A DRI measures density and tells what <br /> exactly is on that lot, a prescribed building footprint. A Development Agreement is different in the sense <br /> it establishes a framework of flexibility but predictability through the process. They have established <br /> zones with parameters to assist in other necessities such as zoning bylaw, fiscal impact study, traffic <br /> etc. They looked at what they would do in those areas while looking at what is currently there. Mashpee <br /> Commons is trying to continue what we have already started. Looked at a snapshot of acreage of <br /> residential buildings currently located, taken into account roads, sidewalks, pocket park, it works out to <br /> 4.25 acres, with 77 units, equates to 18 units per acre in the core, extrapolated over 58 acres, works <br /> out to just over 1000 units. <br /> Commercial is mixed use, there is 40,000 sq. ft., 9-10,000 sq. ft. per acre of commercial space, <br /> extrapolated over the 58 acres, 1/2 million sq. ft. of commercial space. He isn't talking about all new, <br /> there has been some misinformation with it all being new space, it is a total sum. A parameter <br /> established by the bylaw that allows for a maximum amount of commercial space. Currently have <br /> 360,000 sq. ft. already built, so that's 700,000 sq. ft. indicated in bylaw would not be on top of existing, <br /> it's inclusive of existing. Preliminary test fit needed to be expanded to look at various zones. <br /> 2 <br />
