Area Planning
In order to proceed in an orderly and
cohesive way with the development and
build out of the Dominion Boulevard Master
Plan, and to organize the property into units
of various land uses, development intensity,
development density, and preservation,
the Study Area was divided into 10 Sub-
planning Areas (Areas).
These Areas use existing major roadways,
environmental features, land ownership
boundaries, and their location within the
Study Area as organizing principles. Each
Area will follow the basic Area planning
concepts and strategies outlined later as
well as what is required in existing codes
and ordinances.
Implementation Recommendation:
It is recommended that Specific Plans and
Form Based Codes, which further define
community framework, theme, land use, and
development standards, be created for each
Area prior to their approval for development.
As part of creating these Specific Plans
and Form Based Codes, further market and
economic research, as well as infrastructure
service planning, may be needed to
maximize the opportunities and to capitalize
on new trends and technologies.
The Area Plans promote land uses that fit
with their location and range from denser
more urban commercial centers to traditional
neighborhoods to preserved agricultural lands.
