    A.

    Provide the opportunity for neotraditional neighborhood planning to implement principals described in the innovative techniques section of the Lacey Joint Plan relating to village centers;

    B.

    Neo-traditional neighborhoods are a desired alternative to conventional, use-segregated developments, such as large lot suburban subdivisions and strip commercial developments;

    C.

    Reduce the excessive sprawl of development and the segregation of land uses that results in almost total dependence upon private vehicles for transportation;

    D.

    Promote creation of places which have pedestrian emphasis, connectivity, mixed use, and centralized public spaces. Emphasize these features and neighborhood concepts of place;

    E.

    Promote developments which will create a strong sense of community identity.
