Goal 1: Encourage Infill and Preserve Greenspace • Ask for creative designs and cluster development that allow higher density and infill in the downtown and village centers • Add parks, greenspace, and appropriate agriculture on city-owned land or larger infill development projects • Preserve large undeveloped tracts, vistas, and farmland in rural areas • Maximize density on small lots • Preserve and encourage agricultural uses in designated areas
Goal 2: Protect Valuable and Sensitive Ecological Resources • Prioritize and preserve quality wetlands by encouraging development in densely populated areas and in clusters • Protect and conserve water supplies • Ensure no net loss of total wetlands • Preserve existing forests, floodplains, wetlands, and agricultural soils of high ecological value • Minimize the loss of tree canopy • Protect rare and endangered plants and animals and important wildlife corridors
Goal 3: Minimize Impacts of Infrastructure on Environmental Resources • Reduce soil erosion and control sediment • Encourage and enforce low impact development • Reduce the use of sand, salts, or other de-icing chemicals in environmentally sensitive areas • Ensure land alterations do not adversely impact surface waters • Reuse brownfield sites • Reduce use of toxic substances • Encourage non-motorized travel and transit options
Goal 4: Expand Open Space and Recreation • Preserve and expand City holdings of open space, wild lands, and open land in densely developed areas • Preserve the environment and cultural and natural resources through land easements and regulation changes • Identify ‘greenway’ and ‘blueway’ connections to improve access to open spaces for all individuals • Ensure safe, high quality, recreational waters are available to all residents • Ensure all neighborhoods and areas have equal access to improvements
