This plan was developed by M-NCPPC during an extensive 18-month public participation
process that involved the input of many residents and public officials. The plan, which
takes into account current market and economic conditions, consists of five sections: the
Introduction, which defines the project area and outlines the public participation process;
the Existing Conditions Analysis, which includes a historical overview and current economic
and marketing considerations; the Plan Vision, which describes the envisioned future for
the M-U-TC area; the Design Standards and Guidelines, which promote high-quality urban
and architectural design; and the Implementation, which provides information on funding
resources to encourage, promote, and facilitate near, medium, and long-term project goals.
