Safer Roadways: A Complete Streets Guide
Suburban Commercial (C3C) The Suburban Commercial (C3C) context is in the Urban Service Area and comprised of non- residential and mixed uses, typically with large buildings and parking lots. Street networks in these areas are usually disconnected or sparse. Future Land Use categories include Suburban Mixed Use, Neighborhood Mixed Use, Research/Corporate Park, Light Industrial, Heavy Industrial, and Energy Industrial Park. Three typologies have been identified within the Suburban Commercial (C3C) context, based on common land uses and scale of use. These include Neighborhood Commercial, Regional Commercial, and Industrial. Table 3-8 provides a summary of their typology characteristics, and typology profiles are provided for each in Figures 3-7, 3-8, and 3-9. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL Access in Neighborhood Commercial is predominantly provided from the rear or a sideroad and the streets typically have lower vehicle volumes. Higher pedestrian and bicycle volumes with short trips and more developed transit amenities can be observed. REGIONAL COMMERCIAL Regional Commercial streets have relatively higher vehicle volumes, connecting to neighborhood streets, and move greater volumes of freight on longer trips to access commercial uses. Vehicles are separated from pedestrians or bicyclists for safety and comfort. INDUSTRIAL
