1 9.4/ verview and Use s exising land use paern is generally rural wih a mix of single-family residenial, mobile homes, undeveloped open space, and local-serving businesses and services. and use in he norhern secion of is predominanly agriculure and foresry. oad and orraine oad are low-inensiy corridors wih scaered pockes of commercial and oher land uses. here is a significan amoun of commercial zoning along hese roadways, paricularly along Highway 67 norh of he I- inerchange, creaing he poenial for increased commercial developmen in he fuure. evelopmen pressures are resuling from s inland locaion; availabiliy of vacan, environmenally unconsrained land compared o he res of iloxi 1 ; and accessibiliy o I-. hese pressures are evidenced by recen reqss for rezoning of properies zoned Esae esidenial or griculural o higher-densiy uses. ecen developmen proposals have been proposed in scaered locaions wihou public sewer or waer service or adequae road access. In addiion, hey have generally lacked buffers or ransiional areas from highdensiy o low-densiy single-family uses. ransporaion Inersae runs eas-wes hrough ; an inerchange a Highway 67 connecs he neighborhood wes o Gulfpor and beyond and eas o edar ake, lberville, and beyond. ld Highway 67 and he recenly consruced Highway 1 provide access o he Greaer iloxi lanning rea (see haper ) and inland areas o he norh. her minor arerial and collecor roads include oad (providing an eas-wes connecion across ), orraine oad, horecres oad, and edar ake oad (providing a connecion o orh iloxi and he edar ake egional civiy ener souh of he chouacabouffa iver). s described in haper 4 (ransporaion), he need for an adequae regional nework of roadways is criical o he mobiliy and safey (evacuaion during sorms) of iloxi s residens. Key roadway improvemen projecs in Wes iloxi ha are in he planning sages include: new arerial roadway (exension of Highway 67) souh across he chouacabouffa iver o opp s Ferry oad; new I- inerchange in conjuncion wih improvemens o horecres oad; Exension of oad wes across he iloxi iver o eal oad in Gulfpor; and eplacemen of he orraine oad ridge across he iloxi iver. he oas ransi uhoriy () currenly does no serve. 1 f 6,4 acres of undeveloped or vacan land in iloxi lacking floodplain, welands, and seep slopes, 4,884 acres or 76% are locaed in. orh iloxi has 919 acres or 14% of his environmenally unconsrained vacan land, Wes iloxi has 73 acres or 9%, and Eas iloxi has 3 acres or less han 1% (source: W analysis of iy of iloxi GI daa, noe hese figures include undeveloped land classified as agriculural or woodland use).
