The 2030 Comprehensive Plan provides guidance for the future of the TCAAP property and includes the following goal for the reuse of the TCAAP property: Develop TCAAP in a way that accommodates a mix of land uses that is sensitive to the natural environment,, economically sustainable, and a benefit to the community. The Comprehensive Plan will form the basis of the land use regulations; however, the City reserves the right to amend the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that the former TCAAP property becomes a positive contribution to the established part of the community and the region. The regulations will also need to recognize the inherent limitations of the property. The City is in the process of preparing land use regulations, densities, design standards, and a list of permitted uses for the TCAAP property. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan currently divides the TCAAP property into four land uses, which are shown on the attached future land use map and defined as.- Mixed s. Mixed Residential (-240 acres) — provides for a variety of housing types and densities in close proximity, including single-family detached homes, single -attached homes, condominiums, townhomes, apartments, and senior housing options. The anticipated average density is 10.4 units per acre with a minimum average density of six units per acre up to a maximum density of 46 units per acre. This land use is designated for the proposed TCAAP redevelopment, and the density is subject to change once a final land use plan is selected. Mixed Business (-220 acresl — areas designated for a variety of businesses, including commercial, certain light industrial uses, warehousing, office, general business, retail. This designation will be used for the future business uses on the TCAAP property. Park and Open Space (-76 acres) — areas designated as public parks. Park Preserve (-49 acres) — areas designated as natural or scenic areas that are to be preserved for public use or open space. The "Mixed Residential'' and "Mixed Commercial" categories have the potential to allow a broad variety of land uses. Additionally, the mixed residential and mixed commercial areas must also have accommodations for parks, open spaces, and pathways integrated with those uses. While the future land use boundaries and acreage may be adjusted depending on the proposal and benefit to the community, the future land uses are anticipated to form the basis of the zoning, design, and use regulations.
