The group is developing a framework for what sould be addressed and incorporated in the mall area:

Critical Items:

• Development of any "Mixed Use" parcel should be "Mixed Use"
  i.e. any new development should be at least 50% employment and at most 50% residential   reasons   authorities

• Any part of the property that will be severed should have densities after severance, no higher than existing properties in the area   reasons

• No Development before all services are in place or committed - schools, sewers, hydro, hospitals, police, transit etc.   reasons

• Development to be in character with the surrounding area

• Green building: not just in energy efficiency, but also in proportions (dimensions) and colour (trees, grass areas)

• That any zoning changes be dependent on development being completed within a defined time limit   reasons

• Full service medical building (doctors, labs, xray, dental etc)

• The 20% mandate for affordable housing be dedicated to senior lifestyle

• Safe access to the mall for immediate neighborhood (senior bldg on south west corner)

 
Important Items:

• More commercial and retail space
  • more upscale shops
  • destination shopping
  • affordible commercial space for community services such as Community Hubs
• More parking to make this an inviting destination shopping mall
• Community Service expansion (sec. 37 dollars to stay in our community)
• Architecturally compatible with existing neighborhood
• More green (trees, grass)
• Larger full service library
• "Build a Town"
• Need a subway/rapid transit
• Infrastructure increased first to meet level of development
