Page 6: Spatial Planning & Density (slide6_spatial.html) This page details the physical allocation of the 18.25 Ha site.
The 18.25 hectares (182,500 square meters) is a significant piece of land, allowing for a strategic balance between built areas and crucial green/open spaces [16].
Component | Zoning/Function | Rationale for Fit |
---|---|---|
Elderly Living & Care | Specialized High-Density | Positioned adjacent to existing facilities (Tuinhuis/HAV), utilizing vertical design (low-rise apartments/assisted living blocks) [16, 17]. |
Medium-Density Residential | Townhouses, Duplexes, Low-Rise Flats | The largest segment, using efficient land allocation to prevent sprawl while ensuring private and communal green areas [17]. |
Youth Hub, Sports & Community Centre | High-Density Facilities | Designed for vertical and compact use, including sports courts (paddle) and B&B. Parking strategically placed along MC Roode Road [18]. |
Retail/Commercial Complex | Business/Commercial | Positioned along MC Roode Road frontage, typically single or double-level structures with dedicated, compact parking areas for efficiency and visibility [18]. |
Central Park & Playground | Open Space/Recreation | Created by adopting a high-density approach elsewhere, this is a large central green heart preventing overcrowding and offering breathing room [19]. |
