The primary objectives of the Bend Central Area Plan (CAP) are fourfold. First and
foremost, the CAP is a central area “improvement” plan, one that builds upon the good
“bones” of the current Historic Downtown Core area, and upon the sound foundation of
community-based planning for the area. Second, the CAP is intended to serve as the
“master conceptual plan” for the Central Area, including the identification of central
neighborhoods and the Third Street Reinvention. Third, the CAP is intended to
correspond with the objectives of the Bend Vision 2030 Plan, as that plan designates
Bend’s downtown area as a vibrant multi-use area. Finally, the overarching objective of
the Plan is to ensure that the Bend Central Area will serve the community and region’s
future needs for an active, mixed-use urban area. [From the Plan]
