Recital F. The Community consists of four thousand seven hundred eighty-four(4,784) acres, or about seven and one-half(7.5) square miles, located in the southwestern area of the County. The boundaries of the Community and land use plan for the Community, as set forth in the Master Plan, are shown on Exhibit A-3 attached hereto. The Community is planned to develop as a community of twelve(12) pedestrian-scaled neighborhoods, each focused on a Neighborhood Center consisting of a neighborhood school,park and small, commercial site. The Community also includes a mixed-use Town Center, three Village Centers, and employment areas consisting of office and industrial parks and a central north-south parkway linking the various elements of the Community. Recital G. A primary goal of the Master Plan is to establish a close balance between employment and housing. The Master Plan requires two distinct but interrelated programs: (1) the jobs/housing program to ensure that jobs are available to the working residents of the Community, and (2)the affordable housing program, to ensure that homes are available and affordable to employees within the Community.

Another goal of the Master Plan is that the Community be developed as a self- sustained community with respect to public facilities and public services, without a negative fiscal impact on the County. The Public Financing Plan, adopted concurrently with the Master Plan, identifies needed public services, facilities, and funding alternatives to implement the Master Plan. The Public Financing Plan establishes fiscal and financial objectives, policies and guidelines. It identifies funding measures for community-wide costs-of facilities and services. It also provides a fiscal analysis to ensure that the Community can be feasibly developed without negative fiscal impacts on the County and provides for an annual report to evaluate the success of the fiscal and financial programs. Recital I. The Master Plan requires that specific plans ("Specific Plans")will be required on all lands within the Community to provide additional provisions on land use, design, infrastructure, and implementation that have not been included in the Master Plan and are necessary before specific developments are designed. The Master Plan also requires Special Purpose Plans ("Special Purpose Plans") within a Specific Plan Area for certain portions of the Community with special land use concerns. The Master Plan further requires that each Specific Plan shall be accompanied by a fiscal and financial analysis. Each Specific Plan and Special Purpose Plan must be consistent with, inter alia, the land use assumptions, requirements and policies set forth in the Master Plan.
