*Note: Using the redevelopment of the Champlain Center as an example, there would be a reduction of 169, 6,896, and 260 daily weekday, Saturday, and Sunday trips, respectively, compared to existing conditions (this assumes a 25 percent linked trip credit). Assuming the national average vehicle trip length of 9.72 miles this translates to a 4,044,025 VMT reduction per year, compared to existing conditions, which results in and approximately 403,750 KG reduction in annual C02 emissions. The estimate average energy consumption per square foot would decrease by approximately 36 percent from 0.22 MBtus/SF to 0.14 MBtu/SF. With respect to land conservation, the redevelopment of the Champlain Centre would accommodate 1,818 apartments and 454,560 non-residential development. However, to accommodate this same number of housing units within the Town’s existing Residential District 2 (R-2) would require 230 acres, which is approximately 2.7 times more land consumption than under the recommended transect and FBC zoning.
