PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Corozal
01
Use Corozal historic core as the orientation base, then group Corozal historic anchor and Corozal market and food route before crossing to the other side of Corozal.
02
Give Corozal waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Corozal regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Corozal regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
