Community Design Guidelines
____________________________________

By any measure, the redevelopment for the Town of Martin is a large undertaking. Planning and design on this scale cannot occur in a vacuum. Therefore, the planning and design for the redevelopment of Martin was set within a framework of social, physical, and economic principles, such that redevelopment would be economically and socially viable. This framework, which will guide all future development in Martin, is described in the Martin Redevelopment Plan and Design Guidelines.

The principles covered five key areas:

• Community Planning
  
• Community Design
  
• Economics
  
• Residential Design
  
• Circulation System Design

The community planning principles provide the overall guidance for all principles, and include:

• Community Identity
  
• Health and Safety
  
• Livability
  
• Accessibility
  
• Aesthetics
  
• Environmental Protection
  
• Community Justice

All development in the redevelopment site will be developed under the design guidelines administered by a Design Review Board, appointed by the City Council. The design guidelines have been approved for all four phases of redevelopment.
