REVITALIZATION OF RETAIL SHOPPING CENTERS Policy


Plano will encourage reinvestment, revitalization, and redevelopment of underperforming neighborhood retail corners to accommodate a viable combination of local commercial, retail, and entertainment uses. Where appropriate transitions can be maintained, redevelopment may present opportunities to introduce residential uses and improve access.

RRSC2
Develop a reinvestment toolkit for neighborhood retail corners which could include rezoning, fee waivers, or other incentives and planning assistance. When evaluating use of the toolkit for specific redevelopments, additional weight should be given to proposals that enhance surrounding neighborhoods, improve community aesthetics, and maximize the return to taxpayers.
