The purpose of the Western Branch Land Study was to develop a land use, infrastructure, and economic development plan for the western portion of the Western Branch borough of the City. The area comprises a roughly 6.6 square mile area bounded on the north by Pughsville Road, on the east by Interstate 664, on the south by Military Highway and on the west by the City of Suffolk. The study recommends a mixture of landuses capitalizing on proximity to the interstate, existing neighborhoods, public services and commercial areas. The 2035 Land Use Plan incorporates a combination of Alternatives D and E. The amendments introduced mixed-use designations compatible with the Land Use Plan. The Design section of the Policy Document covers these amendments also.The Western Branch Land Study was Approved in 2001. An update to the study was adopted by Council in February 2006. |
