What will happen once the Plan is complete? Will the Town Council take some sort of action?
Now that it has been adopted, the Plan has become the official vision for future downtown development. The plan includes steps to implement the vision, and these implementation steps may take a number of years. These steps include the development of new zoning districts for the downtown, the development of detailed urban design and signage guidelines, and the development of a detailed implementation plan for downtown public infrastructure investments. It is important to note, however, that while the Town Center Area Plan reflects official Town policy, it is not the same thing as zoning or an ordinance, and it does not carry the force of law. Rather, the Plan will be used to guide the Town’s evaluations of requests for future development, to guide public investments in infrastructure, and to help guide private investment into the downtown.
