How to get here

During 2004 the Nassau Bay City Council appointed a nine-member Urban Planning and Advisory Committee (UPAC) to begin concept planning for the redevelopment of Nassau Bay’s commercial areas. The UPAC was made up of Nassau Bay citizens who deliberated over a period of several months The City also hired professional Urban Planning consultants to assist the UPAC in development of concepts for our future.

Development Principles. One of the most important products of this effort was “Development Principles” to be applied to future concepts and ideas that came to the City from the development community. These principles describe the hopes and dreams of the UPAC members after months of study and deliberations. City Council subsequently adopted these principles for City planning efforts.
