The goals for the Master Planning process are to develop a viable waterfront with public open space areas; develop policies for the use of the waterfront; develop and manage the land; and provide for the protection and enhancement of the natural resources with the necessary infrastructure and traffic flow to serve future development within the Marine Stadium Basin properties on the island.
   
 
   
 

Additionally, the proposed Virginia Key Master Plan should emphasize the opportunities for mixed-use waterfront development, including the redevelopment of the properties along the Marine Stadium Basin, integrate and recommend improvements to the existing Sewage Treatment Plant, integrate and preserve the historic Virginia Key Beach Park, as well as make recommendations for future island wide improvements and the protection of the remaining public beaches, parks and conservation areas.
