The location of these facilities will leverage private invest- <br /> ment on surrounding sites, create a focus for the community, provide <br /> a convenient destination where residents can accomplish multiple <br /> tasks, and help shape a more rational development pattern. <br /> • Design zoning regulations that facilitate private developers in <br /> implementing the public's strategy. Zoning must be clearly linked o <br /> to the public's implementation plans, including effective by-right <br /> development standards as well as transfer of development rights <br /> in mature strips. Not every developer has the wherewithal to go ° <br /> ough a rezoning or a replanning effort. <br /> 4Ilif <br /> Create sophisticated development standards to accompany new zoning regu1,' '" <br /> lations. These standards should deal with landscaping, signage, architectural <br /> quality, pedestrian linkages, and other planning details so crucial to the overall xl-. <br /> health of the strip. ii I ' - , <br /> • Provide regulatory options that facilitate parceling and land assembly to <br /> accommodate recommended changes in land use configurations. This may „r ' <br /> involve changes that eliminate setbacks, provide streetfront and midblock devel- r�' , "T1 <br /> I <br /> opment on multiple sites, or combine separately owned parcels to create new i ' � <br /> development options. y; I <br /> • Seamlessly integrate all public services and actions by the many public agen- /II R., <br /> r <br /> cies that have jurisdiction within the strip. I <br /> m <br /> IN Create an aggressive nuisance abatement program to eliminate problems that d I , <br /> inhibit achieving the kind of environment that facilitates the community's vision i <br /> for the strip. Dilapidated or abandoned buildings, social problems, and incom- I' <br /> patible land uses and activities are some of the more common problems affect- , • <br /> T ,y" <br /> ing suburban strip development. M <br /> o ' 1• Adopt zoning regulations that set a minimum parcel size (ten acres or more) 3 ;^ <br /> ng the strip so as to constrain curb cuts and encourage more coordinated oai <br /> w <br /> elopment and fewer stand-alone stores. ° <br /> ■ Prevent "deadening" uses, such as ministorage facilities, from dominating <br /> the strip. <br /> 23 <br />
