Points of entrance to the city (gateways). <br />3. View and movement corridors. <br />4. Districts of the community. <br />5. Screening and buffering. <br />6. Variation in design. <br />7.

Parks and open space, and open space linkage systems (e.g., hike and bike trails, <br />greenway/floodplain corridors, etc.). <br />12. Landscape architectural features and plantings. <br />13.

Again, since the comprehensive plan is implemented over <br />time, these design elements should be applied as part of individual zoning, subdivision, and site plan <br />review approvals, as feasible. <br />14 <br />
