The purpose is to create a set of Design Standards for new development and redevelopment in the entry corridors of Fredericksburg. These guidelines will ensure that new development in Fredericksburg protects and enhances the experience of entering the City and keeps it consistent, attractive and responsive to the unique Hill Country character.
