1.5.16  Special Area Plans

Unique problems or issues may require extra study and special attention. There could be a need for economic development or historic preservation. Perhaps the corridor into the city is unpleasant or there may be a need to locate a new school or library. A community might choose to develop a special area plan in response to such concerns. Examples of such plans include plans for a central business district, a riverside or waterfront, an industrial district, civic or cultural areas, or for a neighborhood.
