§9-2001 INTENT
To achieve the desired outcome of a sustainable and progressive downtown there are basic strategies important to the success of the downtowns’ future.

These strategies include a development format called form- based development which addresses “building form” (what buildings look like, materials, color, height, and how large), “building siting” (where buildings are positioned relative to the streets and sidewalks, and where parking is located), “pedestrian space” (civic space, pedestrian walkways, outdoor dining, safe street crossings and parking areas), and “residential living” (promote and implement residential living in downtown through mixed-use developments, live/work units, perimeter residential, and easy access to downtown).
