The Plan states the purpose of the commercial areas is to "provide attractive shopping environments and convenient access to retail goods and services for community residents." The Plan outlines five strategies to promote quality commercial areas: 1. Through zoning and commercial site planning, the City will require new commercial developments to be compatibly designed with surrounding land uses. 2. Site access will be controlled to provide safe traffic movement. 3. The City will promote commercial site designs that emphasize pedestrian accessibility, shared parking, and green space. 4. Architectural and site standards will be developed and applied. 5. Commercial developments will be required to be responsive to the environmental concerns of the City with regard to site planning, landscaping, impervious surfacing, and storm water management.
