  1. Integrating Uses

  2. Integrating Uses Summary • Most residences need to be located within walking distance of shopping, work opportunities, and public buildings and spaces. • Encourage new buildings to be mixed use, such as residential above commercial, especially at the neighborhood center. • Apply good design principles so different uses fit together. • Parking lots do not dominate the landscape; they are subordinate, placed to the side or rear of buildings, and are well-landscaped.

  3. Public Buildings and Spaces

  4. Public Buildings and Spaces Summary • Site civic buildings so they are integral to the fabric of the community and accessible to everyone. • Use building materials and architectural elements that will last for the generations and evoke civic pride. • Develop streetscape guidelines that address the street, sidewalks, building setbacks, façades and signs.
