Design Principles
As a first step at the beginning of the West Viera planning process, the team met in May 2005 and articulated the following ten guiding principles.
1. Create consolidated, connected open-space systems which provide for conservation, mitigation, recreation and enhancement of regional environmental systems.
2. Create a financially successful community plan.
3. Cluster development in order to minimize infrastructure costs and to maximize diversity of housing types.
4. Create safe, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods.
5. Create self-sufficient communities where daily needs can be met.
6. Provide for a fine-grained street network to avoid future traffic congestion within and outside of Viera.
7. Maximize opportunities for physical activity.
8. Emphasize a social network within the community.
9. Provide a family legacy.
10. Create a community that will enrich the quality of life for residents of Central Florida. |
