In order to enhance the pedestrian experience and overall aesthetic, streetscaping will be installed along Holleman Drive South, North Dowling Road, and Larimer Way. 3. This development will be served by a sanitation compactor rather than the alternative of 14 dumpsters. Not only will the compactor serve the townhome development, but the commercial tract as well. This will reduce drive time and frequency to collect solid waste for the sanitation trucks and is overall more efficient for the development and city services. 4. While the future commercial tract is not formally a part of the rezoning request, it is considered a part of the development under the Neighborhood Center land use designation. Pairing the commercial tract with the future townhomes creates a mixed-use development that will support and connect to each other and surrounding developments, as envisioned through the Neighborhood Center land uses along the Holleman Drive South corridor.
