Key Principles These policies were common to both plans: Neighborhoods should have a vibrant mix of uses (residential, retail, office, etc.). • Develop Mixed uses and higher density on primary corridors • Develop single family residential areas at consistent density New development should respect community character and historic features. • Integrate new commercial and mixed use development with
the existing fabric and scale of the neighborhood • Use residential design guidelines to protect the long-term
quality and value of the community. • Use landscaping and screening to minimize the impact of
non-residential development.
