Downtown Plans shall be based on conserving, completing, or creating Transect-based downtown structure. A Downtown shall be defined by a Long (1/2 mile) Pedestrian Shed, elongated to follow an important commercial corridor. Downtowns should be the location of large commercial and retail uses as well as government and other civic institutions of regional importance. The edges of a Downtown should blend into adjacent neighborhoods without buffer."
