COMPREHENSIVE PLAN |
The Future Land Use Map of the Envision Garland Plan recommends Community Centers for the subject site. Community centers are areas with compact development, primarily non-residential, serving a collection of neighborhoods. This type of development consists of a mix of uses, including retail, services, office use, multi-family residential, and entertainment. Community centers may be developed at the intersections of major arterial streets and along major arterials, highways, and turnpike corridors. This type of area is served by numerous roads and transit routes, providing a variety of connections between neighborhoods and Community Centers for pedestrians, bicycles, motorized vehicles, and transit. The development standards employed to create Community Centers should enhance gateways and corridors as well as to provide attractive, modern developments that create desirable destinations within the city. The proposed Salad and Go development is consistent with the recommended uses for Community Centers. |
