Executive Sum The Development Plan would be used to guide future development on the Project site. The anticipated mix of uses is summarized in Table 1-1. Recognizing the Project would be implemented over a period of years, the land use regulations contained in the Development Plan allow for flexibility in the location, mix, and intensity of uses. As market demands change and as businesses expand or contract over time, the Development Plan provides for a range of residential, office, and commercial uses to accommodate potential changes in the residential market and business environment. The Development Plan is provided in Appendix A.
