Abstract:
The Downtown Community Association's Residential Plan has three main goals: (1) to recognize the importance of Downtown as a community gathering place and romantic attraction by encouraging the opportunities for personal interaction presented by the human densities of Downtown and the built environment. This will expand the potential for emotional involvement in Downtown; (2) to clarify the functional role of residential uses and the relationship to other land uses thereby encouraging conservation and/or development efforts which best support these roles and relationships; (3) to identify feasible public and private enhancements such as plazas, street decor, cafes, lighting, streetcars, etc., which will improve the present residential environment and attract new residential development.
