Why Pringle Creek?

  world-class model of sustainable development - a
  living laboratory and place to celebrate
  innovation and community.
• Showcase Oregons leadership role in
  Sustainability
• Communicate the social, cultural, economic and
  environmental benefits of SD
• Connect to business, institutions with workshops,
  classes, forums
• Create a community that is vibrant
• Every decision has been made with these goals in
  mind

Stewardship
A community taking care of the land as a parent
nurtures a child and protecting it for the good
of all things.
10
Community
Embracing all of Salem and its surroundings with
its diversity of inhabitants by living lightly on
the land.
11
Recognizing the special environmental features of
the property, three major goals have guided the
planning of Pringle Creek Community

• Embrace sustainable land use principles
• Build ecological systems
• Promote smart transportation and movement
  principles

12
Principles and standards are, by intention,
performance goals to be interpreted with
creativity and flexibility, not specifications to
be applied narrowly and precisely.
