3-18 New Brighton Comprehensive Plan | 2040 DRAFT <br />parking facilities, and levels of access for all <br />users. <br />LU 9.1 Ensure that residential infill development is compatible in <br />architectural character and scale with adjacent housing. <br />LU 9.2 Encourage developers to interconnect facilities and provide shared <br />places for public gathering. <br />LU 9.3 Require a high-level of aesthetic quality in design. <br />LU 9.4 Promote the application of Traditional Neighborhood Design <br />(TND) principles, such as on street parking in planned communities, <br />pedestrian friendly streetscapes, or multi-story mixed-use <br />developments. <br />Place-Based Land Use <br />Land use in communities like New Brighton must strike a balance between Places to <br />Live, Places to Shop and Interact, and Places to Work. These different functions can <br />be spread throughout a community by different land uses, or can be found on the <br />same site in Mixed Use areas. <br />Places to Live <br />Maintaining a quality stock of life-cycle housing will be important for the community’s <br />health. Places to live will continue to comprise the largest single category of land use <br />in New Brighton moving forward. Places to live include low, medium, and high-density <br />residential. <br />Places to Shop and Interact <br />Shopping areas should be more than just places to shop. They should be places to <br />interact with neighbors, places for leisure, and places for civic events. It is the City’s <br />intent to maintain compact, vital, retail centers such as Brighton Village and Main <br />Street Village. Virtually all new retail development or reinvestment is intended <br />to occur (or has recently occurred) in the Old Highway 8 corridor or the city <br />center. Such development will be relatively small components of larger mixed- use <br />developments, and will benefit from each location’s high level of visibility and/or good <br />accessibility. Silver Lake Road will continue to be a corridor of retail activity, although <br />reinvestment is needed. Places to shop and interact include Commercial and Mixed <br />Use. <br />Places to Work <br />Places to work should be integrated with places to shop and live. Places to work are <br />categorized as Industrial; however, it is recognized that places to shop and interact <br />are also places to work. <br />CREATE PLACES <br />FOR THE <br />COMMUNITY <br />TO GATHER & <br />INTERACT
