Introduction and Summary Illustrative Master Plan Several of the principles conveyed in this land use plan and the district design guidelines have been expressed in the Illustrative Master Plan, Figure 6, on page 4-11. That sketch is meant to illustrate one possible way in which this plan might be realized but is certainly not the only development pattern. The market may propose a wide variety of additional building patterns that are just as desirable (if not more so) and which are also consistent with this plan and the City's zoning regulations.

These and other statements will guide the future design of the study area: · The County Road E / Lake Johanna Boulevard District will be a place where people can live, work and play. · The district will be a compact, architecturally diverse, pedestrian-friendly community wi th a di stinct identity. · It will provide sidewalks and places for people to gather and socialize. · Design guidelines will be followed to promote an attractive environment with lasting value.
