Abstract
The Framework Plan:
creates a strong and poetic metaphor of historic
Tanner Creek; it addresses the deeper meanings of the
natural cycle of water collection and storage, the visual
relationship between water and land, and the natural
and social life that they support;
provides a great variety of spaces, both in terms of use
and scale;
reaches out to promote a synergy between civic and
private development initiatives; [and]
establishes strong, guiding principles to promote a
sense of place. The plan relies on simple elements which
are both common and unique to the city. [From the Plan]
