The purpose of the 10 BeltLine Subarea Master Plans is to serve as a policy tool to help guide future growth and development for vibrant, livable mixed-use communities by making recommendations in the areas of Land Use (TODs), Mobility, Affordable Housing Policy, and Open Space. Master plans, by their nature, are subject to periodic review and changes to reflect changing local conditions, refined neighborhood visions and city policies, demographic shifts, and other factors.
