Use these guidelines for development proposals In th6~ category to enhance exlstlng urban areas.Thts Includes the area afthe °Dawntown Core°that extends on the south and Third street on the east. These gutdellries are else meant for establtshlrtg new urban environments throughout the City as designated in the Compreherislve plan and specific area plans. Urban developments should convey an appropriate urban context based on the site and architectural charatterlstics outlined In die design guidellries and emphasize die establishment ~ pedestrian emilranments and community con- neetivttythroughthe Integration of street networks and attraettve streetseapes, Urban developments should incorporate various public and open spaces and design these spates as amenities drat draw people to urban areas. Urban environmerits that provide a mbi of uses publlt and open spaces trara- portationoptions, and entourage pedestrian activity will contribute to the Ilw ability and t+itality of McNdtan. Purpose: These guidelines address b~ic physical acid vbual relatlonshlps necessary for developments, vrlthin an urban context, to be successful as pedestriaro-oriented environments and create urban neighborhoods; dtstr[cts and actiWty centers that present quality char<ecters wfth aesthetkally pleasing designs.
