The idea of a community core, and the notion of a gateway. Also, thoughtful consideration of the streetscape and pragmatic considerations of what development is feasible
Are there any land uses that you would change?
I would change the industrial/utility to a combination of open space and office/commercial. I would eliminate a hotel from the plan unless it replaces the current hotel with the same number of rooms. I do not want this area to be a destination resort or anything like it. It should be home for the local residents, and an access point for users of the local amenities: beach, bay, bike paths. 3-5 stories max on the "core". The "gateway" could be subtle, such as a change in signage ordinances, trees/foliage, light posts, etc rather than an architectural feature.
