  1. To increase the visual quality of new and renovated development along the highway
  2. To allow the buildings to create a special regional character, that is in some way derivative of The City of Cambridge and it’s individual history.
  3. To allow the city to regulate applications early in the process of design and avoid needless miscommunications that are costly to all participants in an application
  4. To allow builders and developers as good, even handed, consistent regulations of the site and building requirements in all new and renovation project applications, and not allow personality or special considerations to influence decision making
  5. To allow for improved communication between developers , citizens, and city officials and to allow for the free and open the public participation in the application approval process.
