West Main Street Area Plan
The
West Main Street Area Plan is an effort to identify and pro-actively
guide the emerging forces of change in the study area. Those
changes include, but are not limited to, new development, the
arrival of light rail, and the departure of some automotive
dealerships. This living planning effort will result in
recommendations that reflect the community's vision while guiding
the physical development of the area over a long period of time.
In a nutshell, the plan recommendations will identify measures to
direct future land uses, infrastructure planning, and community
facilities towards the community's shared vision of the future.
The Plan
boundaries include University Drive to the north, Broadway Road
to the south, Country Club Drive to the east and the Mesa/Tempe city
limits to the west. The initial purpose of this plan is to
encourage residents' participation in providing ideas, comments, and
input of local knowledge of the areas where they live, work, learn
and play.
Plan Approved by City Council on December 3, 2007.
A Community's Vision ~ "Best Master Plan" in Arizona by AzAPA,
November 6, 2008
West Main Street is a place where history is respected and
embraced along with excitement for changes that will occur in the
future. New and
old examples of structures such as the classic neon-deco signs
peacefully co-mingle with examples of original, contemporary
architecture and other architectural styles. During community
wide forums residents of this area identified their vision of what
they want West Main Street Area to be. This vision is of a
close-knit community:
- With moderate density and with a small town feel;
- With unique and eclectic components;
- With vibrant and active community life;
- That celebrates, embraces and cherishes its diversity;
- Rich in mature, stable, and vibrant residential
neighborhoods;
- With diverse and high quality housing stock;
- That is economically balanced;
- That is friendly to developers and businesses;
- That is pedestrian friendly;
- That is transit friendly; and
- Rich in open space and recreational facilities
