I heard an interesting idea recently: For each permitted big box retailer permitted outside urban areas, make a requirement to either; a) pay into a downtown redevelopment fund, or more interesting, b) open a small percentage of floor area, perhaps 3 percent, as an annex downtown. I'm certain such an ordinance would not stand up to legal challenge, but it would be another strategy to address the impacts of sprawl.
