Downtown was laid out as the Town Center of McCulloch Properties' 1970 master plan, anchored by the fountain and its lake. The Town created a Town Center Commercial zoning district by Ordinance 98-36, adopted Dec 10, 1998.

The Town Council adopted the Downtown Area Specific Plan by Resolution 2009-40 on Dec 17, 2009, adapting a 2009 vision plan by Swaback Partners that divided downtown into nine districts (Avenue, Business, Civic, Lakeside, Park, Residential, Service, South End, West Side). Since then the Avenue Linear Park and the Park Place I and II mixed use buildings were built, a new Downtown Strategy was approved in 2024, and the Council added the Downtown Overlay District (Avenue, Business and Innovation subdistricts) to the zoning code on Sept 2, 2025.

Mostly a commercial and civic district with a growing amount of multifamily. The General Plan calls for buildings up to three stories with ground floor shops and residential above, and the overlay allows multifamily up to 35 units per acre above the ground floor in the Avenue and Business subdistricts.
