See Information Bulletin # 33

GROWTH CENTERS are areas of concentrated higher intensity uses such as shopping, services, offices, public facilities, medium and high density residential development, cultural, entertainment and recreational activities. Growth Centers have existing or planned infrastructure to accommodate future growth. 

Regional Growth Centers include regional shopping centers, institutions, high density office and residential complexes, medical centers and other major activities serving the entire parish. 

Community Growth Centers include community shopping centers, medium to high density office and residential complexes, public and recreational facilities and similar activities serving community areas. 

Potential methods for guiding growth and development of Growth Centers include performance standards, urban design guidelines and growth management techniques. 

GROWTH CENTER PUBLIC MEETINGS will give residents, patrons, and business owners an opportunity to participate in community planning for their community or regional growth center. Elements to be studied in each growth center are transportation, land use, environmental features, and design. Topics for discussion at the meetings include Horizon Plan land use, bicycle, pedestrian and transit facilities, landscape improvements, and possible design guidelines for future construction in growth centers.
