This document outlines the strategic goals for the Berry/University Urban Village Development Plan and Form-Based Code. The plan prioritizes transit-ready development, focusing on diversifying transportation options, balancing all modes of travel, encouraging higher-density development in key areas, and promoting mixed uses, housing options, and varied incomes. Additionally, it aims to enhance neighborhood resiliency by improving stormwater quality, reducing flooding, and preserving the integrity of adjacent neighborhoods. A key component is the refinement of planning through a form-based code to support new zoning, emphasizing walkability, predictability, and mixed-use development.
