ADAPTIVE LAND USE POLICIES
ACTIVE
FRONTAGE
Anchor new development with
‘active frontage’ at interior
roadway intersections, or nodes,
which are existing key entry-
points to development. The
intended result are vibrant
“pockets of walkability.”
AUTO-ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT
Establishes an overlay along
Highway 111, extending 300 feet
offset from the public right-of-
way, where small-format “pad”
retail, small in-line retail, and
drive-thrus are allowed
development types.
