Secondary Areas <br /> <br />Nodal Developments may be surrounded by a "secondary area" which provides for uses which <br />are not appropriate in Nodes because they .are lower density or are auto-oriented. These areas <br />'may include an area up to one mile from the core commercial area within a node. Secondary <br />Areas may have lower density single-family housing, public schools, large community parks, <br />low intensity employment-generating uses, and park and ride lots within them. Very low <br />intensity industrial and warehousing uses which are highly auto and truck-dependent are not <br />appropriate for Secondary Areas; they do not have a sufficient number of employees to <br />contribute to a healthy pedestrian environment or to substantially affect transit ridership rates. <br />The Secondary Area must provide multiple direct street, pedestrian and bicycle connections to <br />the transit stop and core commercial area with a minimum of arterial street crossings. <br /> <br /> Relationship to Metro Plan Objectives for Compact Urban Growth <br /> <br /> Higher density residential and higher intensity employment development within nodes will help <br /> achieve Metro Plan objectives for compact urban growth. A slight increase in density and <br /> intensity of development within nodes allows the region's projected population and <br /> employment growth over the next twenty to thirty years to be accommodated within the · <br /> existing urban growth boundary. <br /> <br /> Concentrating development opportunities in nodes allows for' protection of existing lower <br /> density residential neighborhoods, preservation of open space and significant environmental <br /> resources while maintaining the existing urban growth boundary. <br /> <br /> Desirable Linkages: Multi-modal Corridors (LUM) <br /> Strategy Implementation Techniques (LUM) <br /> Trip Reduction Ordinance (TDM) <br /> Employee Financial Incentives (TDM) <br /> Parking Management Strategies (TDM) <br /> Park & Ride Lots (TDM) <br /> Ridesharing/Marketing Programs (TDM) <br /> Pedestrian/Bicycle Policy (TDM) <br /> Work Schedule Changes (TDM) <br /> Light Rail (TSI) <br /> Bikeway Improvements/Expansion (TSI) <br /> Commercial Vehicle Management (TSI) <br /> HOV Lanes and Exclusive Busways (TSI) <br /> Pedestrian Improvements (TSI) <br /> Traffic Signalization (TSI) <br /> Transit Improvements (TSI) <br /> Transit Service Management (TSI) <br /> <br /> Land Use Measures Strategies Page 16 <br /> <br /> <br />
