We have provided street connections based where possible on the
660' spacing criteria. The criteria have been varied where they
conflict with properties under other ownership (along Cambridge
Drive) or natural barriers (Fossil Creek Inlet Ditch). We have also
shown varied street connections into the Hewlett-Packard property
(Parcels A, B, C, and D,). These connections are similar to those
approved under the original Harmony Technology Park ODP and
allow flexibility for the large -footprint office/industrial uses that
are anticipated for this portion of the site.
