SECTION 3
COMMUNITY VISION
Introduction
What’s In This Section?
The Community Vision describes the
desired future state of University
Heights to be achieved by this Master
Plan. It looks five to ten years into the
future to complete the statement “Over
the next ten years, University Heights
will...?” Visions are lofty and broad, but
founded in the community’s strengths,
weaknesses, and reputation.
The section includes Vision Statements
for the following six comprehensive
topic areas:
■■ Land Use
■■ Transportation
■■ Commercial and Economic
The Community Vision statements were
developed through an inclusive public
involvement process that drew upon
identified objectives and statements
from previously completed plans and
documents, as well as new visions
based upon current planning trends and
best practices. Statements were refined
and updated to through meeting with
the Project Team, Steering Committee,
and an open public meeting.

How Do I Use It?
The Community Vision forms the basis
for developing specific goals and actions
that the community should undertake
to achieve its Vision. These action steps
will be outlined in the next phases
of the planning process, Policies and
Implementation.
