connections to convenient services, and are conducive to multi-
generational living and social interaction.
3) Creating places with integrated uses that are distinctive, sustainable
and contribute to increasing the City's overall vitality.
4) Providing some retail services in closer proximity to residential areas as
an important amenity to residents. The design considerations are very
important.
5) Creating a wider range of housing choice in the community, as well as
in new neighborhoods.
6) Preserving the rural character of certain areas of the community,
including the appearance of roads, as well as the landscape.
7) Developing streets that create an attractive public realm and make
exceptional places for people.
