Highlights
- Theme Two: Commercial and Institutional Centers
Vision
This Plan recommends that the commercial
centers be upgraded to enhance and serve the needs of local residents
and those visiting the area.
Issues
Commercial Revitalization
Transition Uses
Highlights
A healthy center is the heart of a healthy community. East
Silver Spring residents value local businesses in their community
and much of their daily shopping can be done in the immediate neighborhood.
The map shows commercial centers for East Silver Spring. Recommendations
to improve the overall economic health of commercial centers are an
important focus of this Plan.
Recommendations
Revitalize
the commercial centers of East Silver
Spring to ensure they are safe, community-serving,
successful, convenient and attractive.
Apply
a new Commercial Revitalization Overlay
Zone for the Flower Village and Clifton
Park Crossroads commercial centers. The zone
would provide for site plan review and permit
flexibility in parking standards.
Form
an interjurisdictional task force with
the City of Takoma Park and Prince George's
County to coordinate commercial revitalization
and other improvements.
Support
revitalization of commercial centers along
University Boulevard by providing streetscaping
that reflects the international character
of many area businesses, in coordination with
various business and community organizations.
