Town Center
Local Example: Pearland Town Center, Sugar Land Town Square, City Centre
CHARACTER AND INTENT Pearland’s existing Town Center will continue to evolve as a locally serving economic, entertainment, and community activity hub. Other locations have been designated as future Town Centers to provide employment centers and shopping destinations for surrounding mixed-use or urban neighborhoods and will provide civic components where the community can “come together.” The Town Center is meant to create a unique identity that sets it apart as a well-known destination. It may serve as an employment center and retail destination for the broader area. Buildings are typically one or more stories with urban residential units over storefronts. The development will encourage active living with a network of walkable streets.
