DUAL COMMERCIAL CORE

This concept is based on the transect idea of New Urbanism (a spectrum from urban to rural) and keeps development to the east side of Walnut Creek. Two small commercial centers are established with dense mixed-use development spanning between. Residential areas with varying densities are kept separate from MUD but still within walking distance, which is encouraged through the addition of greenway buffers.

STRENGTHS

Fits with existing development patterns already existent within Pinetop-Lakeside
Less disturbance to creek corridor
Encourages alternative modes of transportation

WEAKNESSES

Smaller areas of commercial and MUD mean less opportunity for sales tax
Creation of a town center not as strong as in other concepts
