This image is a land-use map illustrating the area within a 5-mile radius of the Independence St & Ralston Rd Light Rail Station. The map is structured around a network of arterial and local streets, with the station area acting as the primary point of reference for surrounding land-use patterns.

Land uses are displayed as colored zones, while building footprints are shown in black or white. The area is dominated by suburban residential development, extending across most of the map. Medium-density residential and multifamily areas appear in localized clusters, particularly near major intersections and along primary corridors. Mixed-use and non-residential zones are positioned close to transportation routes, reflecting access and connectivity.

Legend and land-use categories

  • High Density Residential (dark red): apartment buildings, typically 1 to 3 stories
  • Suburban Residential (brown): low-density housing neighborhoods
  • Medium Density Residential (light orange): townhouses and compact residential blocks
  • Mixed Use, residential emphasis (beige): primarily residential areas with limited non-residential uses
  • Multifamily (black): duplexes and townhomes
  • Duplexes and Single Family (light gray): low-density residential areas
  • Non-Residential (white): commercial, institutional, and civic uses
  • Mixed Use (very light tone): balanced residential and non-residential areas

Overall, the map illustrates a predominantly residential suburban context, with higher-density and mixed-use development concentrated near major roads and the light rail station, and lower-density neighborhoods extending toward the edges of the 5-mile study area.
