Question:
- How should the framework
differentiate manufacturing/industrial areas from mixed-use centers?
SLIDE 11
- 2B. Growth & Scale
11
Current MICs Candidate MICs
SLIDE 12
- 2B. Growth & Scale
12
Questions:
- How should the framework recognize
and support different scales of manufacturing/industrial areas?
- How should the framework address
discrepancies between existing MIC performance and expectations for new MICs?
SLIDE 13
- 2C. Infrastructure &
Resources
13
Outside the framework: Deep sea ports Freight road corridors Intermodal connectors Inside the framework: Existing incompatible uses Protective zoning?
SLIDE 14
14
Question:
- How should the framework best
preserve the lands, infrastructure, and resources that are most critical to sustain industrial and manufacturing sectors—both within and outside of MICs?
- 2C. Infrastructure &
Resources
SLIDE 15

How should the framework address…
- Additional criteria?
- Tiers?
- MICS below current threshold?
- Incompatible uses?
- Other key infrastructure?
- Transit access?
- Environmentally sensitive areas?

SLIDE 22
Key questions for the Stakeholder Working Group:
- How should the framework
shape the review and classification of centers?
- What should be the criteria and
thresholds used for eligibility, classification, and evaluation of centers?
SLIDE 23
Criteria: measurable characteristics of a center that may be used to assess and classify a center.
- Minimum eligibility criteria
- Classification criteria
- Performance measures
Tiers: the number and type of categories, and the criteria thresholds that distinguish categories from one another. For example, based on density:
- Super-regional: minimum xx activity units
per acre (au/ac)
- Regional: minimum xx au/ac
- Subregional: minimum xx au/ac
- Local: minimum x au/ac
SLIDE 24
24
- Criteria for tiers?
- Transit service measures?
- Approach to findings:
additional concepts?
