2 - Parks And Community Gathering Spaces
Signature Gateway
• Action: Prepare desired park and recreation-related concepts for the City’s Signature Gateway area to incorporate into potential new development. Per the vision for this area established in Rowlett’s Comprehensive Plan, the concepts should include, but not be limited to, iconic gateway elements, entertainment/events, plaza(s), an amphitheater, public art, performing arts, and culture-related features. For park dedication and provision in this area from private development, focus should be placed on lake access, multi-purpose plazas, and visual and physical interaction with the lake. • Add a temporary paddling launch area to the Signature Gateway to comprise an access point for the Central Paddling Trail (detailed further in Trails and Sidewalks). As the area develops, a more permanent and improved paddling launch area should be provided.

Sub-Area 3: These building foot- prints suggest three towers. This area can be con ¿ gured in numer- ous ways. The provided con ¿ gura- tion is demonstrating that the area needs to be broken up using tools in the FBC to allow for pedestrian circulation (i.e. urban plazas, urban squares and pedestrian passages)
