A California-based company proposed to build 2,200 homes and 265,000 square feet of commercial space on 1,390 acres near Chapel Hill. The proposal included a 26-acre school site, a series of parks and greenways, a newfangled wastewater treatment plant and a library site. "Most people reply that there should be a cluster of homes, shops and community gathering places that are easy to walk to, surrounded by a large wooded or pastoral buffer. But they fluctuate on what the size and scale of the different components should be."
