What Is a Small Area Plan?

A Small Area Plan (SAP) defines a vision for redevelopment or reinvestment in a relatively small area of the City, approximately 10 blocks in size. The vision is sensitive to the area's history and responds to the current and future needs of the City's residents, workers, and visitors.

The East End Small Area Plan will provide a vision for reinvestment and building on the existing strengths of the area. The East End is one of the City's eight "Planning Opportunity Areas" that were identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan as commercial areas that would benefit from renewed investment. Planning in advance of development is key to creating an environment that maximizes community benefits and minimizes negative impacts.
