The purpose of requiring master plans within the Lockhaven Center is to allow for a mixture of intensive land uses, emphasizing employment opportunities, housing, transit and pedestrian facilities, and circulation; to allow some flexibility in how sites are developed; and to ensure coordination between the development of different sites within the center. Each master plan shall be reviewed through a Type III review process. (12/19)

The provisions of this section shall apply to development sites that are: (1) located within the Lockhaven Center, as identified in Figure 3.114.02-1; (2) larger than four acres; and (3) zoned Mixed Use (MU).
