<br />Key Centers <br /> <br />A series of Centers and adjoining Neighborhoods is proposed. <br />The Centers range from the Central Business District with a large <br />concentration of commercial jobs to the more modest Neighborhood <br />Centers with service-oriented retail and mixed-use. The three key <br />Centers are all strategically located along NC 73 at important <br />intersections, which are part of the regional network of roads. They <br />are expected to be in the development stage within the next five <br />years. <br /> <br />In light of the Plan goals, with an emphasis on sustainable <br />development, there is an interplay of economic growth, quality <br />growth and development, environmental preservation and livable <br />mobility. The Centers playa critical role. Their realization as walkable <br />places, their density and diversity of uses will greatly influence how <br />well the goals are fulfilled. These Centers should have a variety of <br />building types and uses developed on a network of walkable streets. <br /> <br />The three key Centers include two Neighborhood Centers, the East <br />Davidson Center and the Bradford Center, and the proposed Central <br />Business District is Poplar Center. The East Davidson Center is <br />iocated at the intersection of NC 73 and Davidson-Concord Road; <br />Bradford Center is located at the extension of Shearer Road to <br />NC 73; and Poplar Center is located at the Intersection of Poplar <br />Tent Road and NC 73. Other Neighborhood Centers, which would <br />develop in the longer term, are the Rocky River Neighborhood <br />adjacent to the Rocky River Greenway, and the North Poplar and <br />South Poplar Neighborhoods adjacent to Poplar Center. <br /> <br />Importantly, the Plan does not recommend regional retall centers, <br />entertainment centers, lifestyle centers or power centers. <br /> <br />G.~ <br /> <br /> <br />"\" <br />"'L <br />"", <br /> <br />,,? <br />.it <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />., <br />\, <br />'.\ <br /> <br />'\.~. <br />-..:-; <br /> <br />-,- ',- -. <br />-'-.-.v__. .__.~_.___ ',__.. <br />
