They are typically located at high-volume intersections and sometimes along both sides of a highway or arterial. Regional Activity Centers are accessible primarily by one mode of travel – the automobile. Buildings are typically set back from the road behind large surface parking lots, with little or no connectivity between adjacent businesses. A small amount of multi-family residential development may occur in these areas.
