along High Street as well as the surrounding residential neighborhoods;
- To stimulate the economic vitality of this portion of the University
District through the appropriate types of private investment and job
creation for area residents;

integrates unique larger and smaller stores, national and local businesses,
and both new and existing commercial activities;
- To help build a sense of community, and reinforce and serve the diverse
character and needs of the university area;

neighborhood residents, and local businesses;

in buildings and spaces with quality materials and details;
