Compact Urban: A physical pattern of towns and cities where public streets form an interconnected network that surrounds traditional city blocks. Connected Suburban: A post-war physical pattern that replaces traditional gridded city blocks with irregular blocks while maintaining a connected network of public streets that are spaced at quarter-mile intervals. Modern Suburban: A late 20 th -century suburban pattern that groups large superblocks and single-purpose pods into master-planned communities that are physically separated from adjoining communities. Most jobs, shopping, and entertainment can be reached on wide arterial roads or expressways.
Industrial: Major industrial areas that impact corridors.
Parks/Recreation: Destinations including parks and state parks.
The dominant land use pattern for these areas of activity in the study area is Modern Suburban, which emphasizes large superblocks or single-purpose destinations that are physically separated from adjoining residential areas. These destinations are primarily auto-oriented and challenging for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users to navigate. Most of these destinations are located near the I-75 interchanges or at the intersection of major roadways in the study area, such as US 41, US 301, Big Bend Road, Boyette Road, Gibsonton Drive, and SR 674/Sun City Center Boulevard/College Avenue. Figure 7 shows an overview map of the destinations and connecting corridors.
