In late 2003, the City of Lake Forest Park began a citizen-based policy planning effort to assess the strategic options for strengthening the economic and social viability of the City’s commercial core, the Town Center area.

 

The future of the Town Center area is of significant interest and concern to Lake Forest Park’s City Council and the community. The City’s Planning Commission, in particular, focused on the Center’s viability as part of the Comprehensive Plan update process. The Commission was interested in:

 

• Establishing a policy framework of integrated land use policies to promote the economic viability of the City’s commercial areas, particularly the Town Center;

• Accommodating the City’s diverse housing needs;

• Encouraging pedestrian access and activity within the City’s commercial areas; and

• To best position the City to work with a new property owner.
