Promoting Mixed-Use Development in Line with Killeen's Comprehensive Plan

Key Points:

• Diverse Urban Spaces: Encourage the development of areas that combine housing, workspaces, and leisure facilities, creating dynamic neighborhoods that reduce the need for commuting and promote a better work-life balance.
• Community Cohesion: Design mixed-use developments to be gathering points for the community, fostering social interaction and a stronger sense of belonging among residents.
• Economic Vibrancy: By blending different types of uses, mixed-use developments can stimulate local economies, providing opportunities for small businesses and entrepreneurs in line with Killeen's Comprehensive Plan.
• Sustainable Living: Mixed-use developments are inherently more sustainable, reducing transportation needs, conserving land, and contributing to a lower carbon footprint, all in alignment with the environmental goals of the Comprehensive Plan.

Promoting mixed-use development is a key step towards realizing a more integrated, sustainable, and community-focused urban environment in Killeen, as envisioned in our Comprehensive Plan.
