A minor master plan amendment, like the Takoma Park Minor Master Plan Amendment, revisits a specific portion of the approved and adopted master plan and reexamines certain elements, often to address a change that was not anticipated at the time the adopted master plan was approved. The Minor Master Plan Amendment may offer new recommendations, or it may reconfirm the existing plan recommendations.
The Takoma Park Minor Master Plan Amendment provides the Takoma Park community with the opportunity to shape a better future for the Plan Area. The plan also creates the potential for increased public benefits and amenities, including improved access to and availability of public transit and pedestrian infrastructure, parks and open space, and additional community facilities.
Although zoning and land use changes are limited to properties within the Plan Area, the plan will ensure that new development is integrated effectively into the existing community. Additionally, recommendations will likely include ways to improve transportation and environmental impacts beyond the Plan Area in Montgomery County, and public amenities will further benefit the entire community.

Master planning for a community like the one the Town of Middleton has undertaken is a process whereby a community evaluates its historic and present-day assets and imagines how and where it should grow in order to leave a legacy for the next generation. The vision statement the Town initially developed will help its residents and business owners identify overarching priorities for the preservation, enhancement, and growth of different areas, and sets the tone for a wider array of more specific master plan elements and goals that can inform decisions on policies, by-laws, and zoning regulations, and provide mutual certainty and predictability for residents and businesses alike.
It is an important question for the university, the community and the students, past and present. As the San Joaquin Valley's premier university, Fresno State plays an essential role in the local as well as the valley community.
The vision expressed in the Strategic Plan is to become the New California's premier engaged university, nationally recognized as benefiting the region and society as a whole through quality teaching, transformational scholarship, and dynamic leadership.
The purpose of this campus facilities master plan is to set in motion a progressive transformation of the facilities that accommodate the university so that the vision can be accomplished. While today's deficiencies cannot be overlooked, each new investment in the fabric of the university must build towards a campus that will enable realization of the vision.
Maple Meadows is a proposed 58.5 acre master-planned development in Redmond, Oregon.

The Park District developed a regional trail master plan that will link Baker Park Reserve and Carver Park Reserve. When completed, the trail will measure approximately 17 miles from the Lake Independence Regional Trail in Baker Park Reserve to the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail in Carver Park Reserve. The regional trail will connect the Hennepin County communities of Medina, Maple Plain, Independence and Minnetrista and the Carver County communities of Laketown Township and Victoria. Users will have the ability to effectively traverse the entire north/south length of western Hennepin County.
The proposed regional trail will directly connect recreational destinations such as Baker and Carver Park Reserves, Gale Woods Farm and Kingswood Park, in addition to the Lake Minnetonka, Dakota Rail and Lake Independence Regional Trails as well as the Luce Line State Trail. The trail also will indirectly connect to Lake Minnetonka Regional Park. Some segments of the proposed trail already exist, or are planned for construction funding in the future.

Eck MacNeely Architects were brought on to develop a master plan to depicts the current conditions of the Walnut Hill School campus. Of primary concern are the patterns of circulation running through the campus. Pedestrians crossing from Eliot Hall to the Academic and Technology Center where no path exists was observed as well as pedestrian/service area conflicts behind Eliot Hall. Another concern addressed by faculty and students of WHS is the lack of outdoor gathering spaces on campus.
