ANTICIPATED WATERFRONT STUDY END-PRODUCTS

The waterfront study is intended to conduct an in-depth investigation of the physical constraints and potential opportunities for the redevelopment and revitalization of areas along the Delaware River waterfront. In this vein, the study will investigate a number of issues including identification of

• all resources (natural and built)
  
  
• protection and preservation measures, costs, and sources of funding.
  
  
• suitable for development or redevelopment area
  
  
• physical constraints impeding development/redevelopment
  
  
• legal constraints needing addressing or impeding development/redevelopment
  
  
• appropriate land and water uses for each area
  
  
• needed changes in local policy, plans, and regulatory documents (e.g., zoning).
  
  
• strategies to attract private developers and investment
  
  

The waterfront study will be the first step in a series of actions that will eventually culminate in the redevelopment and revitalization of the waterfront. There are a number of anticipated end-products. The principal ones include:

• Study Report outlining findings and recommendations.
  
  
• Policy Plan identifying necessary policies and regulatory actions to be adopted by all study participants.
  
  
• Strategy Plan outlining subsequent phases, action steps, and a timeline for implementation.
  
  
• Land Use Plan identifying the appropriate land uses for all areas.
  
  
• Water Use Plan identifying the appropriate water related activities for all areas.
  
  
• Recreation/Open Space Plan outlining the appropriate recreational and open space uses
  
  
• Public Information Plan to share with the public the findings and recommendations produced by the study.
