Identify an appropriate mix of land uses, development intensities, parking requirements, public streets improvements, recreational opportunities, & community spaces



Ensure significant lakeside public access for informal and formal recreational opportunities balanced with the desire to develop a vibrant mixed-use downtown.



Develop specific design guidelines that emphasize highquality design and pedestrian orientation.



Encourage design standards that accentuates historic commercial elements and storefronts in Lake Stevens
