The purpose of this specific plan is to provide the momentum for the much-needed revitalization and
upgrade of the Stanton Plaza site. The plan is intended to implement the goals and strategies of the
city’s General Plan, redevelopment plan, and other applicable planning guidance. Primary objectives
of the specific plan are to:

• Create a place that serves as a model for future design quality and development expectations;
  Establish an urban complex that fits into the surrounding suburban context
• Provide for flexibility in land use opportunities to accommodate the proposed commercial and
  residential uses as well as variations in uses in response to evolving market and site conditions
• Establish land uses, circulation design, site development standards, and design guidelines that
  promote the site’s potential and enhance the character of the site and adjacent land uses
• Provide for a scale and mix of uses that can make for the most efficient use of the parcels, taking
  into consideration size and shape, proximity to existing, adjacent uses, and the potential for
  incremental development on the site
• Facilitate an appropriate mix of land uses that establishes the site as an activity center with
  successful retail and residential components
• Identify preferred locations of residential and commercial land uses
• Substantially improve the visual and functional attributes
