E.STORY FROM TOMORROW HOW THE PLAN WILL BE USER A GUIDING DOCUMENT FOR DECISION-MAKING Downtown Community Plan is a vision and in the plan. This allows City Hall to measure the implementation plan Plan's success and helps the private sector make The plan provides the public and private informed investment decisions and monitor the sectors with direction on how to implement the effectiveness of government. community's vision. It is aspirational in nature, integrating sustainability, livability, economic development, and cultural development concepts throughout. It is comprised of ideas and initiatives that impact the entire downtown and others that are specific to individual districts. Taken together, the plan has the greatest affect. Partnering on Implementation IMPACT Implementing a master plan is not the job of Directing decision-making one entity. Rather, it requires participation from both the public and private sectors. The role of the public sector is to establish the framework, BASELINE the development regulations and make public investments that help fulfill the vision. This is Where we are now intended to spur private investment and public interactions that also contribute to the vision. Regulatory and financial tools should promote TARGETS and bolster private investments that realize the Measurable outcomes plan's vision.As a living document, the plan will be regularly updated as community needs evolve over time. MONITORING Guiding Decision-Making Evaluation of the plan's effectiveness City Hall will use this plan to guide decision- makers on land use matters in the downtown.
