Investment and revitalization should be concentrated in distinct nodal areas in order to accommodate walkability, vitality, placemaking, higher-density development patterns, and transit. This approach should be prioritized over a development pattern that dilutes the activity that new investment can bring to an area by spreading it out over too large of a geographic area and limiting transportation options. The identified Mixed-use Centers include those already existing, those that are emerging, planned mixed-use developments, or newly designated areas. A particular type of center, called a “Neighborhood Node,” is intended to foster neighborhood-scale focal points of development activity.

There are several types of Mixed-use Centers, ranging in density, size, and regional impact. These are reflective of the underlying community development patterns in which they are located.

See the Comprehensive Plan for more details.
