So a midtown type development will be where the big lots/old full moon bbq shopping center used to be?

Yes, that is the way I am understanding it. Here is a link to the plan. They have since worked out the zoning issues and construction has now begun from what I could tell.

Also, a midtown type development will be where the old cedar crest neighborhood was? Is cedar crest the neighborhood with the lake or is it on the otherside of 15th behind Hokkaido and Express Oil change?

Cedar Crest was the neighborhood behind the old Krispy Kreme and Express Oil. With the Mayor's new plan he wants to really push the village feel of the new retail developments instead of just a simple shopping center. I would expect a Midtown feel from most of the new larger shopping venues. I would also expect some new student housing of some sort, it is to close to the UA campus for that not to be prime real estate for some developer.
