Not sure if this title contradicts itself or not, lol :-\
I'm reviewing a portion of our comp land-use plan... I've come to the conclusion that it is time to expand the Commercial area in the CBD. I realize the benefits of residential uses in the CBD, however the town is in the redevelopment stage and has a high residential density surrounding the designated CBD. Densities in the CBD designated as residential use are less dense in population and not attractive to residential development at this point. My idea is to designate these areas for future commercial expansion since they are on the fringe of areas that have a somewhat dense (for suburbia) residential population.
Any thoughts, I know there are a lot of details not given, but I'm just curious as to any basic comments...
