It articulates a community’s fundamental land use policies, principles and goals in a broad and general way. It plans for the future physical development of an area of the community, including its functional and circulation systems and public facilities.” March 1, 2011 Community Development Department 4 What’s the Problem…? Lionshead lacks the charm, character, appeal and vibrancy expected of a world class resort. It lacks a sense of arrival and a sense of place. Pedestrian flow through the mall can be confusing and disconnected… Potential hospitality, retail and recreational uses, and community amenities are unmet or unrealized. It would be short-sighted to ignore these conditions and do nothing. The opportunity exists for the public and private sectors to act collaboratively to renew and revitalize this important component of our community.
