3 Comprehensive Plan Recommendations The Comprehensive Plan designates this area of the City as Suburban Area and contains policies to guide and protect the overall character, economic value, and aesthetic quality of the stable neighborhoods in the Suburban Area. The Plan reinforces suburban characteristics of commercial centers and other non-residential areas that make-up part of the Suburban Area. Three key planning principles have been established in the Comprehensive Plan to guard against possible threats to this stability: preserve neighborhood quality, create and protect open spaces, and connect suburban mobility. Achieving the goals of preserving neighborhood quality requires that all new development or redevelopment, whether residential or non-residential, either maintain or enhance the overall development of the area. This is accomplished by having development proposals either maintain or enhance the existing neighborhood through compatibility with surroundings, quality and attractiveness of site and buildings, improved mobility, environmental responsibility, livability, buffering of residential from non-residential with respect to type, size, intensity, and relationship to the surrounding uses.
