Pedestrian friendly Village(s) that will provide a diverse mix of “commercial neighborhood” serving uses are proposed by the Balm community. Preferred village locations identified in the plan include the intersection of Balm Road and Balm Wimauma Road, and the intersection of Balm Boyette Road, CR 672, and Shelley Lane. Pedestrian links between these proposed Villages and adjacent uses are recommended in the plan. Figure 29 shows the Balm Community plan concept map that identifies the locations of the proposed trail, Villages, roadway improvements, bike path , and other components of the community’s vision . Balm’s downtown village is identified as having a mix of neighborhood serving commercial/retail uses and is labeled a rural activity center by the community plan. The community wishes to maintain its rural densities by restricting Residential Planned-2 (RP-2) to split land uses on one parcel. The Balm plan calls to only designate new RP-2 in areas where one parcel has split land uses (presumably where one of those parcels in the split is RP-2). The Balm Community plan also identify that they do not want additional Residential Show Business uses in the community plan boundary, but will continue to apply the Residential Show Business Uses locational criteria until the LDC is amended.
