Sector Two Chapter 3 - Tomorrow dwelling units per acre and may include a variety of residential types such as duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and zero lot -line homes. A variety of housing types may be allowed, as long as the overall density within a specific development or area is between six and twelve dwelling units per acre. The areas designated MDR are found in scattered concentrations throughout the Westover and Southwest Hills neighborhoods. In addition, there are other areas of MDR designated along Ranch Road 12, within the Weatherford property (see below), and in the Mixed Use Neighborhood Center at the corner of Bishop St. and Craddock Ave. (see below). High Density Residential High Density Residential (HDR) land uses are typically characterized by apartments and condominiums representing a density range greater than twelve dwelling units per acre. The only tracts of land designated HDR in Sector Two are existing developments including townhomes along Ranch Road 12, a tract at the corner of Girard and Marlton, and another at the corner of Marlton and Baylor. C nmmPrrial Commercial land uses are characterized by retail, office, and other commercial types of developments. This category includes land uses such as retail stores, shopping centers, business and professional offices, medical and dental offices, hotels, auto dealerships, banks, restaurants, etc. The areas designated for new commercial development are concentrated in three general areas: 1) the Weatherford property at the corner of Ranch Road 12 and Craddock Ave.; 2) Ranch Road 12 corridor from the City Limits to Craddock Ave.; and 3) the Mixed Use Neighborhood Center at the corner of Bishop St. and Craddock Ave. (See the detailed descriptions below.) Three different types of commercial development are recommended for the Sector, differing from each other based on the location and envisioned character of the development: • Neighborhood Commercial: This category is characterized by small -scale (less than 5 acre) commercial and office uses that are compatible with, and serve the needs of, nearby residential areas. These areas are intended to be pedestrian- oriented, with adequate auto parking and access, often located to the side or rear of the building. Development should be compatible with the neighborhood through appropriate site design, building scale, and appearance. Uses are limited to small - scale, low- intensity uses that do not require lots of space for buildings and parking. Typical uses include video store, ice cream parlor, coffee shop, donut /bagel shop, local hardware store, small restaurant, flower shop, ATM machine, etc. These developments sometimes include second floor office or residential uses. • Community Commercial: This category is characterized by medium -sized (5 -20 acres) community shopping areas that are generally auto - oriented with appropriate accommodations for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users. Development should be of high quality and attractive and should enhance the character and quality of life of the city. Development generally occurs in well - planned nodes rather than commercial strips. Impacts to adjacent neighborhoods should be minimized or mitigated. Typical Adopted: July 23, 2001 3 -7
