A.

Implement the goals and policies of the Northeast Area Element of the Comprehensive Plan as they relate to the area to be designated Hawks Prairie business district;

C.

Assure that development is site sensitive and user efficient, furthers the mixed-use policies of the Northeast Area Element of the Lacey Joint Plan, and provides the flexibility necessary to accommodate changing land use patterns and conditions;

Assure that early development does not unnecessarily foreclose options for later projects and that new, different uses can be added without jeopardizing uses already established or planned;

E.

Encourage originality, flexibility, and innovation in site planning and development, including architecture, landscaping, and graphic design, as well as circulation and infrastructure systems;

F.

Assure that the natural and environmental characteristics and attributes of the district are preserved and enhanced;
