Implementing Our Vision: Centers, Corridors & Wedges Activity Centers are generally appropriate for new growth, with generally increased intensity of development. Growth Corridors are priority locations for new growth, but may include specific neighborhoods for preservation. Wedges are predominantly low density residential with limited higher density housing and neighborhood serving commercial uses. 3
Place Types: Building on an existing foundation Place-Based Ordinance Foundation Community Character Manual (CCM) Place-types will function as the foundation for zoning districts Place types reinforce existing quality & character and/or facilitate change where desired Place types established by the CCM will provide clear link to Zoning Map Each place type may result in multiple zoning districts 5
