this requirement.
Analysis
Comprehensive Plan
Mississippi Connections represents the historical core of the city, and corresponds to a redevelopment
framework adopted by the City Council in November, 2012. This redevelopment framework established
specific goals to strengthen the study area, which was broken up into five neighborhoods. These
neighborhoods include the older residential and downtown commercial neighborhoods which are facing
changes in the form of access and visibility, shopping habits, and housing desires. The Mississippi
Connections Plan attempts to identify key strategic objects to reinvent the area as a destination for a
variety of uses and activities.

Changeable copy signage on a commercial building is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
