Downtown Development and Design Guidelines
The Downtown Development and Design Guidelines, adopted by the Evansville Redevelopment Commission on July 1, 2003, exist to serve several purposes:
- To ensure an orderly, high-quality development process
- To protect and enhance major public investments in the area
- To encourage both small- and large-scale private investment in the area
- To minimize development costs by eliminating guesswork and reducing potential development problems
- To protect and maintain historic features
- To create walkable, human-scaled streets
- To create high-quality public spaces
- To encourage development and improvements that preserve the qualities of the downtown area that make it urban
- To encourage environmentally sustainable development
