    Driver and Approach The Town Center Sub-committee report recommends excessive

    development, and understates requirements for--

    Robust internal infrastructure.

    Key quality-of-life amenities.

    Need a vision and plan for Reston Town Center that meets three keyobjectives:

    Meets future economic growth expectationsopportunities & constraints.

    Sustains multi-faceted world-class planned community in an urban setting.

    Abides by TOD principles and best practices.

    Build the vision around apopulation-driven 20-year plan that balances: Residential and workforce populations--minimums, constraints, optimal--and

    Restons quality of life in an increasingly urban setting.

    May use alternative vision independently, meld with another, and/or use asa source for generating other ideas.
