District Scale Planning
o Capture, manage, and reuse energy, water, and waste beyond a single building to a group of buildings within the precinct.
o Include transportation choices and a mix of uses within the neighborhood.
o Create a neighborhood of connected parks, plazas and open spaces for a vibrant, green, and walkable community.
