The first change includes a revision to the Mixed- Use Residential category to include at. least 30% oft the developed area served by public water and sewer be non-residential (e.g., commercial or institutional development) and to remove the Town Center as its own future land use category. The second is to incorporate the Town Center as part of the Mixed-Use Residential category and focus non-residential development in this area. There is no modification to the Town Center boundary. Also, the future land use map was updated with these changes and certain parcels at the end of Rolling Acres Drive were corrected from Mixed-Use-Residential to Residential.
