There are 8 major sections of the plan as well as an overlay district that will be create during this process

• 1. Existing Conditions: A review and update of the primary existing conditions in the corridor including land use, zoning development policies, socio-economic data, transportation, and utility infrastructure. A complete picture of the area surrounding University Parkway will begin to emerge that will allow thoughtful analysis which will form a good basis for decision-making during the planning process. A summary memorandum will be created.


• 2. Vision: The vision is the overall future state of the area at the culmination of 15-20 years of implementation of this plan. The overall vision will guide the development of the objectives, programs, and policies of the plan. The vision should be bold and innovative, yet pragmatic and realistically achievable. Stakeholders, the public, and the steering committee will all have input into creating the overall vision for the corridor.


• 3. Land Use Framework: A series of land use scenarios will be developed highlighting future development of the corridor. The data from the existing conditions will be used to create these scenarios and analyzed to convey the impacts of each scenario regarding development. The land use scenarios will inform the future transportation improvements and the timeframe in which they need to be completed. Once a desired scenario is identified, zoning will be evaluated along the corridor, and recommendations regarding the type of zoning needed to achieve the plan.


• 4. Transportation and Utility Framework: Balancing infrastructure improvements, access management, and level of service while accommodating growth and development will be a primary goal of the plan. After an understanding of the existing infrastructure is completed, planned extensions, upgrades, or replacements will be documented. This will be analyzed against the land use framework and recommendations regarding transportation improvements and future utilities extensions will be made. This information will be presented to the public for feedback.


• 5. Aesthetic Framework: Based on the final scenario, visual and aesthetic standards for the corridor will be developed that would help to unify development and create a brand along University Parkway. This would entail developing landscape concepts, cross sections, potential materials, and planting suggestions. Many of these recommendations would be incorporated into the zoning recommendations.


• 6. Implementation Plan: Although the vision and goals provide overall direction for the plan, the actual objectives, programs and policies provide a defined and measurable action for implementation. Each objective, program or policy will include an action plan for implementation. This would include describing the project/program/policy, key elements of that project/program/policy, timeframe, lead agency, type of program (policy, administration, project), cost estimate and potential funding.


• 7. Draft and Final Plans: A draft plan and draft overlay district will be created and presented to the public. After the public meeting, the final corridor plan and overlay district will be produced. The final process would include public meetings with the APC and County Commissioners.


• 8. Overlay District: Based on the recommendations for land use, transportation and aesthetics, an overlay district will be developed that will implement those recommendations. An overlay district is an area that is drawn on top of base districts. The overlay district can either add or remove standards from the base district in order to achieve a different pattern of growth. The purpose of this is to tailor the development to the corridor without impacting the base zoning districts throughout the County.
