District VIDistrict VI’s neighborhoods serve as the transition zones between the central community and Vermillion Highlands. The edges of the district are made leg-ible in north by the realigned and expanded County Road 46 and less so in the south as it decreases in density in Preserve Lots towards Vermillion Highlands. Recreational and educational amenities central to District VI capitalize on the its proximity to preserve areas and the community-wide parkway system.

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

Primarily residential with small neighborhood retail centers

Amenities built around prox-imity to natural preserve areas

Low-scaled, walkable streets connecting to regional trail networks

Transition zone between community and Vermillion Highlands

Rural southern edge
