Land Use Plan

1. Smaller lots should not be located on the exterior of a proposed development adjacent to, or across the street from, larger lots of an existing development. However, if the applicant proposes an alternative, and if potential conflicts will be created, the applicant shall give justification as to how they will be mitigated or avoided.
2. Neighborhood Retail is appropriate at the southeast quadrant of Horton Lane and Willow Springs Boulevard, but only in conjunction with other uses.
3. Although Design Concepts other than TND are appropriate, nonresidential uses should have buildings that front the street, with parking to the side or rear of the structures, and shall be incorporated in a location that promotes pedestrian access.
