to articulate a vision of the future physical appearance and qualities of its community as a
component of its local comprehensive plan, The vision should be developed through a
collaborative planning process with meaningful public participation and shall be adopted
by the governing body of the jurisdiction,"

Option 2 -
City takes a Passive Role:
*
Under this scenario, the City of Wil~ter Springs would take a passive role in the construction and promotion of the
Town/Village Center. Town Center Design Guidelines will be implemented by City staff during the normal site plan
review process. Village Center Design Guidelines will be prepared and presented to the City Commission for adoption.
*
Staff feels that this approach offers limited promise toward the realization of a traditionaVtown village center.
