Maximize highly visible areas and land uses appropriately

With significant visibility along U.S. 33, key frontage sites should include prominent uses and architecture that capture the image of the Economic Advancement Zone. In general, uses along U.S. 33 should implement higher densities with a critical mass that creates a prominent sense of identity. In addition, uses with greater visual impact should be integrated throughout the EAZ in less prominent locations to ensure an overall mix of employment opportunities and desired visual character.

Provide convenient housing choices and access to daily services

As a major employment center based on research and technology, future development must integrate a range of unique housing options in close proximity to businesses. Places to live and access to daily services should be strategically located to provide convenience within the context of the corridor. Great accessibility to regional greenway networks should be provided to offer a full assortment of amenities within the area for prospective businesses, employees and residents.

A mix of uses will allow people to comfortably work and live in close proximity.

The EAZ plan calls for increased housing options desirable for future employees.
