Commercial Development
A quality commercial area is achieved through attention to its design, mix of uses, scale and the ways in which pedestrians, bicycles, public transit and motor vehicles are accommodated.
The Principles:

Mixed Use:
Residents can work and live within the neighborhood when the scale and character of business settings are compatible with homes. More>> |
 |
Scale:
Quality developments are integrated within their surroundings, yet flexible enough to accommodate a mix of uses. More>> |
 |
Durability:
Quality places are built to last with quality materials, are designed to allow for changing uses over time, and provide for shifting markets and consumer needs. More>> |
 |
Walkability:
Wide sidewalks, storefronts that open to the street, shade and shelter make the pedestrian feel comfortable in quality shopping areas. More>> |
 |
Parking:
Convenient parking choices consistent with the scale of the development, the location and the type of stores are important to quality commercial development. More>> |
