<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The Montgomery County Complete Streets Design Guide (CSDG) provides policy and design guidance on the planning, design, and operation of county roadways. In order to develop street types that are context-sensitive, a definition of the area context is first needed based on the master plan vision, land use, and zoning. The following area type definitions have been developed:</SPAN></P><UL><LI><P><SPAN>Downtowns are envisioned as Montgomery County’s highest intensity areas including central business districts and urban centers. They are envisioned to have dense, transit-oriented development and a walkable street grid (existing or planned).</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>Town Centers are similar to Downtowns but generally feature less intense development and cover a smaller geographic area. While the Town Center area type includes a mixture of uses, it is commonly envisioned as high-to-moderate intensity residential development, including multifamily buildings and townhouses, and retail (existing or planned).</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>The Suburban area type is envisioned as low-to moderate intensity residential development.</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>The Industrial area type is a unique area where employment and industrial uses are the primary activities. These areas often have higher densities of development but maintain lower to moderate levels of bicycle and pedestrian activity</SPAN></P></LI><LI><P><SPAN>The Country area type comprises the least dense portions of the county, with land uses of low intensity residential and agriculture.</SPAN></P></LI></UL><P><SPAN>For more information, contact: GIS Manager Information Technology & Innovation (ITI) Montgomery County Planning Department, MNCPPC T: 301-650-5620</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P><P><SPAN>Updates:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>10/10/2023: Changes to the CSDG area types made in the Pedestrian Master Plan were incorporated into the layer.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
