Chapter 5: Future Land Use Plan - East-West Gateway Coordinating ...

East West Gateway Council of Governments
Revitalization areas include the creation of a large local market‐wide designated
redevelopment area in lieu of smaller, scattered development areas
• Increased density and mix of uses in response to the need for more retail space within
existing land configurations with consideration given to large retail/commercial options
as land size and market allows
• Encourage public spaces that invite pedestrians to linger and participate in the street
scene
• Promote transit development and streetscapes that promote walking and biking while
minimizing the need to drive an automobile
In summary, the Future Land Use Map (Map 5.1) suggested for the primary study area provides
ideas and recommendation based on market driven development options and sensitivity to existing
conditions and stakeholder participation. The strength of the market is sustained by residential and
institutional investment that has continued to stabilize the area and creates alternative market
demand. Further, the existing bus system, bike trails, and MetroLink provide excellent support for
future development potential. As planning and implementation move forward, success will be
predicated upon market demand, availability of funding, a credible and phased implementation
strategy and the cooperative participation of public agencies, municipalities, and the private sector.
