6. Dikwididi North East Layout
The purpose of this
detailed layout plan is to
establish a detailed land
use frame work for
development and servicing
of the land identified by
Kgatleng Land Board in
Dikwididi North East for
settlement expansion. The
site covers a total of
92.7Ha of undeveloped
tribal land in proximity to
existing built up area. The
detailed layout plan has
been prepared in general
conformance with the
Urban Development
Standards.

7. Physical Environment
The proposed detailed layout plan area falls within
Environmental zone characterized by a combination
of conditions that render it Suitable for
infrastructure development. The zone covers
mostly flat terrain with fewer limitations for
settlement growth. It mostly covers land previously
used for agro-pastoral purposes. There are
however fewer existing developments within the
plan area. The proposal retains the Existing
developments intact.
Policy content
The layout has been prepared with regard to
statutory plans, policies and design principles that
govern land development in Botswana in general
and the Kgatleng Integrated Land Use Plan in
particular.
Development Concept
The proposed detailed layout plan is designed as a
comprehensively planned residential zone. The plan
seeks to establish predominantly residential
neighborhoods with adequate amenities and services to
serve a population of approximately 2 580 persons.
Each neighborhood is organized into District
development clusters with public spaces incorporated
into each neighborhood cluster and a road pattern
influenced by location and specific policy design
requirements. The key element of the concept is the
creation of convenient shops located along
thoroughfares but reachable with a radius of 500m. The
shops are meant to render commercial services
exclusive of liquor and other hard beverages.
The street design seeks to reduce traffic
speeds along major roads and other
residential streets (90 degree junctions at
reasonable distances). It also allows
permeability; Cul-de-sacs have been avoided
to ensure this. Passageways have been
provided at the end of each residential block
to promote a pedestrian friendly
environment
Infrastructure Services
Dkwididi is one of the smallest settlements in
the District falling under tertiary III category.
The only line infrastructure currently in place
is waterlines. There is no power, telephone
lines, etc.

8. Residential Land Use.
This area is general intended for residential use
And the detailed layout has proposed the principal
use as one family detached residences. The plan
Has proposed 573 single family residential plots of
average size 864m2. The plan also recognizes
existing residential developments and plots. In
Some areas it has been difficult to know the extent
of these plots because they are not develop or
Fenced; only corner post evidence their existence.
Civic and Community land uses
The plan proposes two civic and community plots
to be allocated for religious purposes. These are
located on the eastern edge of the plan area along
an 18m road. The plan also proposes two other
Civic and community plots to be used for day care
centers. These have been located in the manner
that they
Commercial Land uses
The plan has evenly distributed commercial plots
across the clusters that make up the plan area.
These are to be used for convenient shops that are
compatible with the adjoining residential land use.
Cemetery
The plan proposes a graveyard on the north-eastern corner of
the layout. It is ideally located along an 18m road for easy traffic
flow. A 10m buffer has been provided along the south and
western borders to protect residences. The introduction of a
cemetery to the layout came as a plea from the village leadership
who indicated that there is no provision of the facility in the
whole village. They indicated that they currently bury their dead
as far as Mochudi.
Open spaces
The open spaces have been distributed across the plan area in
accordance with the urban development standards. Other open
spaces have been introduced to rationalize the layout especially
between proposed and existing developments.

9. Circulation network
The layout takes cognizance of existing roads network in the plan area. Traffic is guided from the residential plots
through 15m roads which feed into 18m roads. The latter has also been used to delineate residential clusters. They
are
medium speed roads the takes traffic to the two main gravel roads to leading to the River villages, Mochudi and
Gaborone. The proposed Mmamashis Mabalane road.

10. Oodi Infill Layouts
OODI INFILL LAYOUTS
Background
The purpose of these infill
layout plans is to establish a
detailed land use frame work
for the development and
servicing of the land in Oodi to
avail plots for development.
The identified parcels of land
are surrounded by
developments. The infill layout
plans fall within environmental
zone characterized by a
combination of conditions that
render it suitable for
settlement growth. The zones
are characterized by flat terrain
and little vegetation cover. The
layout has been prepared with
regard to statutory plans,
policies and design principles
that govern land development
in Botswana in general and the
Kgatleng Integrated Land Use
Plan in particular. The infills are
designed to blend into the
existing neighborhoods.

11. Physical Environment
The proposed detailed layout plan area falls within environmental zone characterized by a
combination of conditions that render it suitable for settlement growth. The zone covers
accessible and flat terrain. The areas are sandwiched between existing physical developments.
Design
The layout has been prepared with regard to statutory plans, policies and design principles that
govern land development in Botswana in general and the Kgatleng Integrated Land Use Plan in
particular. Residential plot sizes are 600m2 and there are 111 single family residential plots.

16. Oodi Commercial
Background Information
The proposed commercial centre is located in Kolobeng ward, Oodi next
to Kolobeng Local Centre. It is within an area zoned residential as per
the Integrated Land Use Plan along the gravel road that service
Kolobeng Local Centre on the Eastern side coming from Odima Junior
School paved road. The layout was designed a long time back as civic
and community plots and have not yet been developed. The plots were
to be used as an RAC but a new plot which is bigger where Oodi Sub
Land Board is housed has been allocated for the Rural Administration
Centre. Oodi Sub Land Board has now requested the office to redesign
these plots and propose commercial plots as they have a long waiting
list for commercial plots.

17. The Design Concept
The layout design concept adopts a pedestrian-friendly concept. Pedestrian movement will be kept between the
building and along walkways away from traffic movement which will be kept at the periphery of the mall. There are
Two entrances to the mall, a pedestrian entrance facing the main street and an automobile entrance located at the
rear of the plot accessing the parking bays. The buildings in front of the main street should be oriented to the main
Street and also face the communal parking to cater for the two entrances. While the layout is primarily to
accommodate commercial uses other compatible uses will also be allowed in order to promote live and work and
vertical mixed use opportunities.
