<br />· Broaden the tax base of the City and provide jobs for its
<br /> residents with prudent financial commitments by the City;
<br />· Bolster the competitive attractiveness of Downtown Portsmouth
<br /> in the regional marketplace;
<br />· Make productive use of the working waterfront as it represents a
<br /> finite resource;
<br />· Compliment each other while providing a transition from the
<br /> range of downtown activities to industrial activity of the Norfolk
<br /> Naval Shipyard.
<br />
<br /> To accomplish these policy objectives, it may be necessary to
<br />modify the zoning pattern that controls development of this area and to
<br />change the infrastructure. It may also be necessary or desirable to enter
<br />into various partnerships with private sector interests to ensure the
<br />appropriate character of development. Similarly, some development might
<br />be undertaken within the public sector. Such steps are deemed to be in
<br />the overall interest of the City and should be encouraged.
<br />
<br />and
<br /> WHEREAS, the Council of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia has held a public
<br />hearing, with notice as required by law, and has considered the proposed amendment
<br />to the Comprehensive Plan.
<br />
<br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
<br />Portsmouth, Virginia, that the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Portsmouth, Virginia,
