PLANNING Page 1 of 1 To: Planning & Zoning Commission From: Scott Ingalls, AICP, and Planner Through: Alex Glushko, AICP, Planning Manager Re: Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting – October 17, 2017 Agenda Item: Consider and act upon a Site Plan for Temporary Buildings at Rhea’s Mill Baptist Church, on 9.3± acres, located at 5733 Custer Road. The property is zoned Agricultural (A). (D17-0056). Description of Agenda Item: The Site Plan depicts one (1) existing 22,940 square foot house of worship, one (1) existing 1,334 square foot portable building, and two (2) proposed 1,536 square foot portable buildings. The Church is requesting to place two (2) additional portable buildings on the property for educational purposes, as outlined in the attached letter. On July, 11, 2017, the property was annexed by the Town per request of the property owner. At the time of annexation, sites are zoned Agricultural. The Site Plan conforms to the Agricultural District development standards. Access is provided from Custer Road. Adequate parking has been provided. Per the Zoning Ordinance, the two (2) proposed temporary buildings can be permitted for a three (3) year time period with the option for the Planning & Zoning Commission to grant a one (1) year extension. The existing portable building is “grandfathered” as a non-conforming use, since it was on the site at the time of annexation. Attached Documents: 1. Location Map 2. Site Plan 3. Request Letter Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends approval of the Site Plan subject to: 1. The issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for each temporary building. 2. Staff approval of emergency access points, fire lanes, including striping, widths, radii, and location, signage, alarm and pull station systems, electrical panels, and fencing and gate hardware. 3.

(Z17-0014) Description of Agenda Item: The zoning and land use of the surrounding properties are as follows: Zoning Current Land Use Future Land Use Plan Subject Property Planned Development-41- Mixed Use Undeveloped Tollway District North Planned Development-41-Mixed Use and Planned Development-20- Commercial Corridor Concrete Batching Plant (Lattimore) Tollway District East Planned Development-20-Commercial Corridor and Commercial Concrete Batching Plant (Lattimore) and Undeveloped Tollway District South Agricultural, ETJ (Annexation Agreement), and City of Frisco Nursery (YC Nursery) and Storage Yard (Secure RV) Tollway District West Agricultural, Planned Development-71- Single Family-10, Planned Development-47-Commercial Corridor and ETJ (Annexation Agreement) Storage Yard (Secure RV) and Undeveloped Tollway District The purpose of this amendment is to modify the layout and development standards of PD-41 to facilitate development of a proposed a mixed-use development referred to as “Prosper West.” The Planned Development zoning for Prosper West is comprised of four (4) sub-districts, identified as “Downtown,” “Office Park”, “Uptown,” and “Neighborhood Shopping,” as shown on Prosper is a place where everyone matters. PLANNING Page 2 of 6 the existing Concept Plan (attachment 4). The applicant is proposing to amend the Downtown and Office sub-districts by revising the conceptual layout (Exhibit D) to reflect the reconfiguration of the offices, hotel/conference center, urban multifamily structures, open space plaza, restaurants/retail, parking structures, and roads as shown below. EXISTING CONCEPT PLAN PROPOSED CONCEPT PLAN To achieve this, the applicant is proposing to amend the development standards (Exhibit C) for the Downtown and Office sub-districts as well. No amendments are proposed to the Uptown and Neighborhood Shopping sub-districts. A redline version of the standards is included as attachment 3, which identifies the proposed amendments, generally including the following elements: • Architectural regulations • Buffer regions • Building height, length, and setbacks • Engineering standard (removed from PD) • Ground floor retail • Mobile food vendors • Multifamily permitting • Parking • Parking structures • Permitted land uses • Public realm design plans • Street cross-sections • Village Thoroughfare Plan • Window treatments Details of notable development standard amendments are outlined below. • Ground floor retail – In the Downtown sub-district, the PD currently requires 75% of the first floor of multifamily buildings to contain non-residential uses. Further, 80% of the first floor non-residential Page 3 of 6 square footage is required to have Certificate of Occupancy issuance, and 75% of the residential units are required to be leased, prior to issuance of a building permit for additional multifamily buildings. The applicant is proposing to require 15% of the first floor of multifamily buildings contain residential uses, and that 75% of the first floor non-residential square footage have Certificate of Occupancy issuance, prior to issuance of a building permit for additional multifamily buildings. The applicant has indicated there is not a market for ground floor retail and that 15% is a realistic percentage that can be supported by the market. Staff concurs that vertical mixed use developments are not as successful as originally thought to be. Even though Legacy Town Center is considered a successful mixed-use development, only one structure is a true, vertical mixed- use. A recently completed residential development in Frisco Square was granted relief from having ground floor retail spaces. • Architecture – In the Downtown sub-district, the PD currently allows brick, stone, granite, marble, and stucco as a primary material, which is required to include at least 90% of each floor. The applicant is proposing to allow an equivalent material to be approved by Town staff, and that primary materials be required to comprise at least 75% of each floor. The current PD prohibits the use of stucco (cementitious stucco, not synthetic stucco) as a primary material on the first floor, while the proposed PD would permit it. The current PD limits a single material to a maximum of 80% on the front of a building and limits secondary materials to 10% of an elevation. The proposed PD does not limit the use of primary materials and removes the limitation on secondary materials, which will be limited by the requirement for 75% of each floor to be a primary material. The proposed PD allows deviations to the architectural standards to be considered by the Planning & Zoning Commission on a case-by-case basis in conjunction with Site Plan approval. In the Office sub-district, the PD currently allows brick, stone, granite, marble, stucco, and architecturally finished concrete tilt wall as a primary material, which is required to comprise at least 90% of each floor. The applicant is proposing that primary materials be required to comprise at least 75% of each floor. The current PD prohibits the use of stucco as a primary material on the first floor, while the proposed PD would allow it. The current PD limits secondary materials to 10% of an elevation. The proposed PD removes the limitation on secondary materials, which will be limited by the requirement for 75% of each floor to be a primary material. • Structured parking – In the Downtown sub-district, the PD currently requires structured parking garages to be located centrally within a property line with buildings in-line on either side to create the look of a single building. The proposed PD removes that requirement. As shown on Exhibit D, the applicant is proposing standalone structured parking garages to serve the non-residential development. In both the Downtown and Office sub-districts, the PD currently limits structured parking garages to a height lower than the closest building, with a maximum height of 80 feet. The proposed PD removes the height limitations. • Building height – In the Downtown sub-district, the PD currently limits the maximum height of buildings other than hotels to five (5) stories. The proposed PD allows buildings other than hotels to be a maximum of sixteen (16) stories in height. The proposed amendment will allow for taller office buildings located along Dallas Parkway, as shown on Exhibit D. In the Office sub-district, the PD currently limits the height of buildings to twelve (12) stories, no greater than 180 feet. The proposed PD allows a maximum building height of sixteen (16) stories. Page 4 of 6 • Village Thoroughfare Plan – The PD currently includes a Village Thoroughfare Plan, Alternative Streetscapes (within the Design Guidelines), and Engineering Infrastructure Design Standards. The applicant is proposing to remove the Engineering Infrastructure Design Standards from the PD, which will be subject to review by the Town’s Engineering Services Department, and to replace the Village Thoroughfare Plan and Alternative Streetscapes with the proposed Village Thoroughfare Plan, Exhibit F. The proposed plan establishes four (4) street cross-sections, including the following sections: o Section 1 is an 89-foot, undivided 2-lane roadway with angled parking o Section 2 is an 65-foot, undivided 2-lane roadway with parallel parking on one side o Section 3 is an 49-foot, undivided 2-lane roadway with no on-street parking o Section 4 is an 89-foot, divided 4-lane roadway with parallel parking (to be identified on the Site Plan) The Town’s Engineering Services Department has reviewed the proposed Village Thoroughfare Plan and street cross-section and has no objections. • Public Realm Design Plan – The current and proposed PD includes general Design Guidelines, which include, Design Principles, Site Design, Building Design, and Public Realm Design. In order to capture the various elements of the public space that will be included as part of this mixed-use, urban designed area, the proposed PD includes the requirement for a Public Realm Design Plan. The applicant is proposing that the plans be reviewed and approved by Town staff, and will include, but not limited to depicting the location and relationship between, the buildings, sidewalks, parking, landscaping, benches, signage, planters, benches, outdoor dining areas, bicycle racks, trash cans, bollards, public and private utilities, etc. All improvements located within the Town’s right-of-way will be subject to a license agreement which will establish and define the installation, ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the improvements. • Buffer regions – In the Downtown sub-district, the PD currently requires a minimum six (6) foot area located within the right-of-way, along streets with on-street parking, and includes street trees, seating, lights, bicycle racks, etc., to be owned and maintained by the developer or property owner. The applicant is proposing to remove this requirement, which will considered and designed by way of the Village Thoroughfare Plan and Public Realm Design Plan. • Permitted Land Uses – In the Downtown sub-district, the PD currently permits Hotels by right. The proposed PD clarifies the definition of Hotels and includes limited service, full service and/or residence/extended stay. Staff supports this with the stipulation that the various types of hotels be developed in accordance with the adopted Conditional Development Standards of the Zoning Ordinance, and not subject to a Specific Use Permit. In the Downtown and Office sub-districts, the PD currently permits Mobile Food Vendors by right, subject to the Town’s Conditional Development Standards. These standards generally limit the location of the mobile food vendors to private property and to be within 50 feet of the entrance of a permanent building on the subject property but not located on required parking spaces. The proposed PD amends the Conditional Development Standards for Mobile Food Vendors by allowing them in parking spaces and on public property (other than the travel lanes of a street), and permits them upon approval of a minor amendment to the PD (staff approval). The application for this minor amendment shall include information as required by staff to assess the impacts including but not limited to location, parking and accessibility. The applicant has proposed this to allow for Mobile Food Vendors around the open space plaza, Page 5 of 6 as shown on Exhibit D. The intent is to create an outdoor food venue similar to Clyde Warren Park. The current PD regulations were adopted in 2008, and at that time, were believed to be in accordance with best practices of mixed-use developments. Since that time, design criteria, the concept of vertical mixed uses, and urban street cross sections have evolved. With the exceptions noted above, staff believes the recommended amendments including the allowance of higher density office buildings adjacent to the future Dallas North Tollway are appropriate and will not diminish the desired quality of the development. Future Land Use Plan – The Future Land Use Plan recommends Tollway District for the subject property. The zoning exhibit complies with the Future Land Use Plan. Thoroughfare Plan – The property has direct access to US 380, an ultimate six-lane divided thoroughfare; Dallas Parkway a regional roadway; Shawnee Trail, an ultimate four-lane divided thoroughfare; Prairie Drive, an ultimate four-lane divided thoroughfare; and Lovers Lane, an ultimate four-lane divided thoroughfare. The applicant is proposing to realign Shawnee Trail and Prairie Drive from the current configuration, as shown below on the existing plan, by generally “squaring up,” or gridding, the alignment, as shown below in the proposed plan. Subject to approval of the zoning amendment request, an amendment to the Thoroughfare Plan will be proposed. EXISTING PLAN PROPOSED PLAN Page 6 of 6 Water and Sanitary Sewer Services – Water and sanitary sewer services are directly adjacent to the property. Access and Circulation – The property has direct access to US 380 and Dallas Parkway. Schools – This property is served by the Prosper Independent School District. It is not anticipated that a school site will be needed on this property. Parks – It is not anticipated that this property will be needed for the development of a public park. Environmental Considerations – No 100-year floodplain exists on the property. Legal Obligations and Review: Zoning is discretionary. Therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission is not obligated to approve the request. Notification was provided to neighboring property owners, as required by state law. Town staff has not received any Public Hearing Notice Reply Forms. Attached Documents: 1. Aerial and Zoning Maps 2. Proposed Exhibits A, B, C, D, E, and F 3. Proposed Redline Development Standards (Exhibit C) 4. Existing Concept Plan (Exhibit D) Town Staff Recommendation: Town staff recommends the Planning & Zoning Commission approve the request. Town Council Public Hearing: If the Planning & Zoning Commission makes a recommendation, a Public Hearing for this item will be scheduled for the Town Council meeting on November 14, 2017.

The use provisions define land uses and the siting and character of the improvements and structures allowed on the land in a manner that encourages a balanced and sustainable mix of uses. These uses may be combined either vertically in the same building, or horizontally in multiple buildings, or through a combination of the two. Additionally, the standards are intended to promote an efficient pedestrian-access network that connects the non-residential and residential uses. The planned development generally addresses the physical relationship between development and adjacent properties, public streets, neighborhoods, and the natural environment. This is accomplished by the following; • Ensuring buildings relate appropriately to surrounding developments and streets which create cohesive visual identity and attractive street scenes. • Ensuring site design promotes efficient pedestrian and vehicle circulation patterns. • Ensuring the creation of high quality street and sidewalk environments that are supportive of pedestrian mobility and that are appropriate to the roadway context. • Ensuring large sites are developed in a manner that supports and encourages connectivity and creates a cohesive visual identity and attractive street scene. In order to implement this vision, the standards affecting development are intended to be consistent with the overall goal. To accomplish this goal, the area has been subdivided into a series of sub-districts with development restrictions that will be necessary to achieve their collective individuality. The purpose of sub-district requirements is to define the character of new development within each sub-district. They have been carefully designed to allow enough flexibility for creative building solutions, while being prescriptive in areas necessary to preserve consistency throughout the development. EXHIBIT C--SUB-DISTRICT REGULATIONS: DOWNTOWN SUB-DISTRICT PURPOSE & INTENT The purpose of the Downtown Sub-District is to encourage the creation of a pedestrian-oriented, vertically integrated, mixed-use, urban environment, providing shopping, employment, housing, business and personal services. The Downtown is intended to be the focal point of the community. This is achieved by promoting an efficient, compact land use pattern; encouraging pedestrian activity; reducing the reliance on private automobiles within the district; promoting a functional and attractive community through the use of urban design principles; and allowing developers flexibility in land use and site design. The Downtown Sub-District is to be an area with a mixture of moderately intense uses that are developed surrounding an identifiable core. Buildings are close to and oriented toward the street. There is a connected street pattern, shared parking, and pedestrian amenities. SITE CRITERIA A. SIZE OF YARDS: 1. Minimum Front Yard: a. On Dallas Parkway and SH 380: Thirty (30) feet. b.

PAGE 1 DESIGN PRINCIPLES Overall planning and building arrangement should create a compact pedestrian- scaled environment. Individual buildings should be designed and detailed to reinforce the pedestrian-oriented nature of downtown and uptown. • Buildings should be located and designed so they provide visual interest and create enjoyable, human-scaled spaces. The key design principles are: • As new buildings are constructed, building facades should utilize building elements and details to achieve compatibility with existing buildings in the Downtown and Uptown sub-districts. • Compatibility is not meant to be achieved through uniformity, but through the use of variations in building elements to achieve individual building identity. • Buildings should be built to, or close to, the sidewalk to define and enhance the pedestrian environment. SITE DESIGN In order to create attractive, pedestrian friendly streets and provide street-level activity and interest, buildings should: • Be built to or close to the sidewalk. • Have entrances oriented to the sidewalk for ease of pedestrian access. • Be located in such a manner as to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and automobiles. BUILDING ORIENTATION: Buildings should be oriented toward the major street front with the primary entrance located on that street. CORNER LOTS: At key intersections, buildings located on corner lots should utilize variations in building massing to emphasize street intersections as points of interest in the district. PARKING: On-street parking should be constructed in the Downtown and Uptown sub- district. Off-street surface parking should be predominantly located behind buildings and accessed by alleys or rear drives whenever possible. BUILDING DESIGN BUILDING MASSING AND SCALE: A building’s massing is its exterior volume and its scale is the relationship of its overall size and its component parts with its adjoining buildings, spaces, and people. • A building’s massing should relate to its site, use, and to the massing of adjacent buildings. • A building’s massing should serve to define entry points and help orient pedestrians. • The scale of individual building façade components should relate to one another and the human scale, particularly at the street level. • Buildings and/or facades should emphasize and frame or terminate important vistas. BUILDING RHYTHM: A building’s rhythm is the pattern created by the regular recurrence or alteration of its constituent architectural components. • Non-residential and mixed-use buildings in both the Downtown and Uptown sub- districts, to the extent practicable, may maintain a 25’ or multiples of 25’ building façade widths. • Variations of the rhythms within individual building facades may be achieved within any block of building facades. • Breaks in the predominant rhythm may also be used to reinforce changes in massing and important elements such as building entrances or pedestrian pass- throughs. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS: Architectural elements are the individual components of a building, including walls, doors, windows, cornices, parapets, roofs, pediments, and other features. Architectural elements should be designed to the appropriate scale and proportions of the selected architectural style. For example, building designs based on an Art Deco style should utilize architectural elements of a scale and proportion characteristic of that style. BUILDING DESIGN ENTRANCES: The design and location of building entrances in the Downtown district are important to help define the pedestrian environment and create retail-friendly environments. • Entrances should be easily identifiable as primary points of access to buildings. • Building entrances may be defined and articulated by architectural elements such as lintels, pediments, pilasters, columns, porticos, porches, overhangs, railings, balustrades, and others, as appropriate. All building elements should be compatible with the architectural style, materials, colors, and details of the building as a whole. • Entrances to upper level uses may be defined and integrated into the design of the overall building façade. FAÇADE TREATMENTS: Façade treatments are that portion of a building’s street façade elevation extending from the ground to the roof that consists of a single layer or architectural expression. • Retail ground floors should have windows covering a minimum of 60% of the major street fronting façade(s). Other ground level uses shall have façade treatments appropriate to such uses(s). • All sides of a building shall be consistent with respect to style, colors, and details only to the extent they establish continuity with the main street front facades. • On facades fronting on service or parking areas and along secondary streets, windows need not be provided at the ground level. However, buildings should avoid long, monotonous, uninterrupted walls. Building wall off-sets, including projections, recesses, niches, fenestration, or changes of materials or color shall be used to add architectural variety and interest, and to relieve the visual impact of a blank wall. • Parapet and roof-line offsets between facades may be provided in order to break down the scale of the block and create architectural interest and variety. • Architectural elements, such as canopies, awnings, roof and floor overhangs, and colonnades should be provided as appropriate to protect pedestrians, help unify parts of a building or block, provide human scale, or provide a backdrop for signage and graphics. BUILDING DESIGN STOREFRONTS: Storefronts on façade treatments that span multiple tenants shall use architecturally compatible materials, colors, details, awnings signage, and lighting fixtures. LIGHTING: The placement and orientation of lighting can be a critical part of creating an inviting and safe downtown/uptown environment. • Exterior lighting shall be architecturally integrated with the building style, material, and color. • Lighting intensities shall be controlled to ensure that excessive light spillage and glare are not directed toward neighboring areas and motorists. • Pedestrian level lighting of building entrance-ways should be provided. • Illuminations of portions of buildings, direct or indirect, may be used for safety or aesthetic results. SIGNAGE: • A comprehensive sign package shall be developed for the project and shall be approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council. • Signage in the Downtown and Uptown sub-districts shall enhance the pedestrian character of the districts by providing signs that are pedestrian in scale and located so as to be legible to pedestrians the sidewalks. • Signs may be attached flush to the building so long as they do not obscure any significant architectural details. • Businesses are encouraged to create individually styled signage that distinguishes their establishment. • Signs which are pedestrian oriented may be painted on the storefront glass. The maximum percentage of glazed surface area allowed shall be identified in the project’s comprehensive sign package. • Directory signs may be provided to help direct the public to different businesses and services in the Downtown and Uptown sub-districts. These may be provided at prominent locations in the downtown or uptown. • Signs may be lit by external light sources as long as such sources are not visually intrusive as determined with the project’s comprehensive sign package. PAD SITE BUILDINGS: For a building that occupies a pad, the building should have similar design characteristics as the remainder of the project. This includes use of similar materials, patterns, rhythms, and proportions. PUBLIC REALM DESIGN The public realm is where the community meets, gathers, shops, works, and recreates. It consists of those places where people have unlimited and direct access to and includes streets, sidewalks, walkways, parks, and publicly accessible open spaces. PEDESTRIAN NETWORK: • Mid-block pedestrian connections from the street to parking lots at the rear of the buildings should be provided at key points. • Pedestrian crosswalks shall be clearly marked and provided at all key street intersections. • Sidewalks shall be constructed from the back of curb to the building front or property line. • Sidewalks shall be a minimum of 6’ measured from the face of the curb to the building façade. STREET FRAMEWORK: A street framework that supports a high level of connectivity providing development flexibility over time and encourages pedestrian activity. Key design features necessary to create the characteristics within the public realm include: • Street patterns based on a grid system of interconnected streets. • Continuity of sidewalks along each street. • Crosswalk demarcation at street intersections. • Wide sidewalks with shade trees. • Parallel and head-in parking to protect pedestrians from traffic movements. • Narrow street cross sections and neck downs at crosswalks. PUBLIC REALM DESIGN STREETSCAPE TREATMENT: An important element of an urban streetscape is the streetscape design. It is that portion of a street that accommodates both social and business activity. It extends from the face of the building to the face of the curb. A well designed streetscape is important to a street’s function as a public place and is the most extensively used civic space in a community. • The streetscape consists of the following four distinct functional zones: o EDGE ZONE: The area between the face of the curb and the Furnishing Zone. An area of required clearance between parked vehicles or traveled way and accessories or landscaping. This area shall be a minimum of 18- to facilitate the door swing of a parked car and prevent conflicts with elements within the Furnishing Zone. o FURNISHING ZONE: The area of the roadside that provides a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. Items which shall be located in this zone, to minimize impact on the Throughway Zone include; street trees, planting strips, street furniture, utility poles, sidewalk vaults, newspaper racks, cabinets, traffic signal cabinets, fire hydrants, bicycle racks, etc. A typical dimension for this zone is 4’-6’. o THROUGHWAY ZONE: This zone which must remain clear, both horizontally and vertically, allows for the movement of people. This zone shall be a minimum 6’ wide. o FRONTAGE ZONE: The distance between the Throughway Zone and the building front used to buffer pedestrians from window shoppers, accessories, and doorways. Since this zone is in the building’s front setback, it may contain private street furniture, signage, merchandise displays, etc. and can also be used for restaurant seating. • Street trees shall be planted in accordance with a unified landscaping plan. • Street furnishings shall be installed in accordance with a streetscape plan. Street furnishings may include planting strips, raised planters, trash receptacles, street lights, street signs, wayfinding signs, media boxes, seating, public art, water features, fire hydrants, etc. INTERSECTIONS AND CROSSWALKS: Intersections shall be as compact as practical. They shall minimize crossing distance as well as crossing time, minimize exposure to traffic, and encourage pedestrian travel. PUBLIC REALM DESIGN PUBLIC PARKS AND OPEN SPACES: Publicly accessible parks and open space organize and reinforce neighborhood structure. They offer a wide variety of passive and active recreational experiences ranging in size and type, but together, they create an integrated system enhancing livability, natural appearance, and ecological values while providing gathering places and interaction opportunities for the community. • Public parks and open spaces should be visible and easily accessible from public areas such as building entrances and adjacent streets and sidewalks. Within these parks, ample seating should be provided, including walls, ledges, and other raised surfaces which can serve a similar purpose. • Active uses such as retail, cafes, restaurants, higher density residential and office uses which provide pedestrian traffic should be considered as appropriate uses to line public parks and open spaces. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES Residential units shall be located in a manner as to provide privacy for residents by one or a combination of the following. • Providing a small landscaped front setback. • Raising or lowering the finished ground level relative to the sidewalk level. • Allowing for encroachments by stoops, stairs, and porches within the area between the front façade and the property line. PARKING: Off-street parking shall be accessed through alleys along the rear or side property lines, thus eliminating driveways from the residential streetscape with the following exception: • Driveways and garages may front onto, and be accessed from a street in the case of a corner lot. The garage and/or driveway shall be allowed to front on the side street. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS • Residential buildings shall have relatively flat fronts and simple roofs with most building wing articulations set at the rear of the structure. Window projections, stoops, porches, balconies, and similar extensions are exempt from this standard. • Gable roofs, if provided, shall have a minimum pitch of 9/12. When hipped roofs are used, the minimum pitch shall be 6/12. Other roof types shall be appropriate to the architectural style of the building. • Architectural embellishments that add visual interest to the roof, such as dormers and masonry chimneys may be provided.

Individual buildings should be designed and detailed to reinforce the pedestrian-oriented nature of downtown and uptown. • Buildings should be located and designed so they provide visual interest and create enjoyable, human-scaled spaces. The key design principles are: • As new buildings are constructed, building facades should utilize building elements and details to achieve compatibility with existing buildings in the Downtown and Uptown sub-districts. • Compatibility is not meant to be achieved through uniformity, but through the use of variations in building elements to achieve individual building identity. • Buildings should be built to, or close to, the sidewalk to define and enhance the pedestrian environment. SITE DESIGN In order to create attractive, pedestrian friendly streets and provide street-level activity and interest, buildings should: • Be built to or close to the sidewalk. • Have entrances oriented to the sidewalk for ease of pedestrian access. • Be located in such a manner as to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and automobiles. BUILDING ORIENTATION: Buildings should be oriented toward the major street front with the primary entrance located on that street. CORNER LOTS: At key intersections, buildings located on corner lots should utilize variations in building massing to emphasize street intersections as points of interest in the district. PARKING: On-street parking should be constructed in the Downtown and Uptown sub- district. Off-street surface parking should be predominantly located behind buildings and accessed by alleys or rear drives whenever possible. BUILDING DESIGN BUILDING MASSING AND SCALE: A building’s massing is its exterior volume and its scale is the relationship of its overall size and its component parts with its adjoining buildings, spaces, and people. • A building’s massing should relate to its site, use, and to the massing of adjacent buildings. • A building’s massing should serve to define entry points and help orient pedestrians. • The scale of individual building façade components should relate to one another and the human scale, particularly at the street level. • Buildings and/or facades should emphasize and frame or terminate important vistas. BUILDING RHYTHM: A building’s rhythm is the pattern created by the regular recurrence or alteration of its constituent architectural components. • Non-residential and mixed-use buildings in both the Downtown and Uptown sub- districts, to the extent practicable, should may maintain a 25’ or multiples of 25’ building façade widths. • Variations of the rhythms within individual building facades should may be achieved within any block of building facades. • Breaks in the predominant rhythm may also be used to reinforce changes in massing and important elements such as building entrances or pedestrian pass- throughs. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS: Architectural elements are the individual components of a building, including walls, doors, windows, cornices, parapets, roofs, pediments, and other features. Architectural elements should be designed to the appropriate scale and proportions of the selected architectural style. For example, building designs based on an Art Deco style should utilize architectural elements of a scale and proportion characteristic of that style. BUILDING DESIGN ENTRANCES: The design and location of building entrances in the Downtown district are important to help define the pedestrian environment and create retail-friendly environments. • Entrances should be easily identifiable as primary points of access to buildings. • Building entrances may be defined and articulated by architectural elements such as lintels, pediments, pilasters, columns, porticos, porches, overhangs, railings, balustrades, and others, as appropriate. All building elements should be compatible with the architectural style, materials, colors, and details of the building as a whole. • Entrances to upper level uses may be defined and integrated into the design of the overall building façade. FAÇADE TREATMENTS: Façade treatments are that portion of a building’s street façade elevation extending from the ground to the roof that consists of a single layer or architectural expression. • Retail ground floors should have windows covering a minimum of 60% of the major street fronting façade(s). Other ground level uses shall have façade treatments appropriate to such uses(s). • All sides of a building shall be consistent with respect to style, colors, and details only to the extent they establish continuity with the main street front facades. • On facades fronting on service or parking areas and along secondary streets, windows need not be provided at the ground level. However, buildings should avoid long, monotonous, uninterrupted walls. Building wall off-sets, including projections, recesses, niches, fenestration, or changes of materials or color shall be used to add architectural variety and interest, and to relieve the visual impact of a blank wall. • Parapet and roof-line offsets between facades may be provided in order to break down the scale of the block and create architectural interest and variety. • Architectural elements, such as canopies, awnings, roof and floor overhangs, and colonnades should be provided as appropriate to protect pedestrians, help unify parts of a building or block, provide human scale, or provide a backdrop for signage and graphics. BUILDING DESIGN STOREFRONTS: Storefronts on façade treatments that span multiple tenants shall use architecturally compatible materials, colors, details, awnings signage, and lighting fixtures. LIGHTING: The placement and orientation of lighting can be a critical part of creating an inviting and safe downtown/uptown environment. • Exterior lighting shall be architecturally integrated with the building style, material, and color. • Lighting intensities shall be controlled to ensure that excessive light spillage and glare are not directed toward neighboring areas and motorists. • Pedestrian level lighting of building entrance-ways should be provided. • Illuminations of portions of buildings, direct or indirect, may be used for safety or aesthetic results. SIGNAGE: • A comprehensive sign package shall be developed for the project and shall be approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission and Town Council. • Signage in the Downtown and Uptown sub-districts shall enhance the pedestrian character of the districts by providing signs that are pedestrian in scale and located so as to be legible to pedestrians the sidewalks. • Signs may be attached flush to the building so long as they do not obscure any significant architectural details. • Businesses are encouraged to create individually styled signage that distinguishes their establishment. • Signs which are pedestrian oriented may be painted on the storefront glass. The maximum percentage of glazed surface area allowed shall be identified in the project’s comprehensive sign package. • Directory signs may be provided to help direct the public to different businesses and services in the Downtown and Uptown sub-districts. These may be provided at prominent locations in the downtown or uptown. • Signs may be lit by external light sources as long as such sources are not visually intrusive as determined with the project’s comprehensive sign package. PAD SITE BUILDINGS: For a building that occupies a pad, the building should have similar design characteristics as the remainder of the project. This includes use of similar materials, patterns, rhythms, and proportions. PUBLIC REALM DESIGN The public realm is where the community meets, gathers, shops, works, and recreates. It consists of those places where people have unlimited and direct access to and includes streets, sidewalks, walkways, parks, and publicly accessible open spaces. PEDESTRIAN NETWORK: • Mid-block pedestrian connections from the street to parking lots at the rear of the buildings should be provided at key points. • Pedestrian crosswalks shall be clearly marked and provided at all key street intersections. • Sidewalks shall be constructed from the back of curb to the building front or property line. • Sidewalks shall be a minimum of 6’ measured from the face of the curb to the building façade. STREET FRAMEWORK: A street framework that supports a high level of connectivity providing development flexibility over time and encourages pedestrian activity. Key design features necessary to create the characteristics within the public realm include: • Street patterns based on a grid system of interconnected streets. • Continuity of sidewalks along each street. • Crosswalk demarcation at street intersections. • Wide sidewalks with shade trees. • Parallel and head-in parking to protect pedestrians from traffic movements. • Narrow street cross sections and neck downs at crosswalks. PUBLIC REALM DESIGN STREETSCAPE TREATMENT: An important element of an urban streetscape is the streetscape design. It is that portion of a street that accommodates both social and business activity. It extends from the face of the building to the face of the curb. A well designed streetscape is important to a street’s function as a public place and is the most extensively used civic space in a community. • The streetscape consists of the following four distinct functional zones: o EDGE ZONE: The area between the face of the curb and the Furnishing Zone. An area of required clearance between parked vehicles or traveled way and accessories or landscaping. This area shall be a minimum of 18- to facilitate the door swing of a parked car and prevent conflicts with elements within the Furnishing Zone. o FURNISHING ZONE: The area of the roadside that provides a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles. Items which shall be located in this zone, to minimize impact on the Throughway Zone include; street trees, planting strips, street furniture, utility poles, sidewalk vaults, newspaper racks, cabinets, traffic signal cabinets, fire hydrants, bicycle racks, etc. A typical dimension for this zone is 4’-6’. o THROUGHWAY ZONE: This zone which must remain clear, both horizontally and vertically, allows for the movement of people. This zone shall be a minimum 6’ wide. o FRONTAGE ZONE: The distance between the Throughway Zone and the building front used to buffer pedestrians from window shoppers, accessories, and doorways. Since this zone is in the building’s front setback, it may contain private street furniture, signage, merchandise displays, etc. and can also be used for restaurant seating. • Street trees shall be planted in accordance with a unified landscaping plan. • Street furnishings shall be installed in accordance with a streetscape plan. Street furnishings may include planting strips, raised planters, trash receptacles, street lights, street signs, wayfinding signs, media boxes, seating, public art, water features, fire hydrants, etc. INTERSECTIONS AND CROSSWALKS: Intersections shall be as compact as practical. They shall minimize crossing distance as well as crossing time, minimize exposure to traffic, and encourage pedestrian travel. PUBLIC REALM DESIGN PUBLIC PARKS AND OPEN SPACES: Publicly accessible parks and open space organize and reinforce neighborhood structure. They offer a wide variety of passive and active recreational experiences ranging in size and type, but together, they create an integrated system enhancing livability, natural appearance, and ecological values while providing gathering places and interaction opportunities for the community. • Public parks and open spaces should be visible and easily accessible from public areas such as building entrances and adjacent streets and sidewalks. Within these parks, ample seating should be provided, including walls, ledges, and other raised surfaces which can serve a similar purpose. • Active uses such as retail, cafes, restaurants, higher density residential and office uses which provide pedestrian traffic should be considered as appropriate uses to line public parks and open spaces. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES Residential units shall be located in a manner as to provide privacy for residents by one or a combination of the following. • Providing a small landscaped front setback. • Raising or lowering the finished ground level relative to the sidewalk level. • Allowing for encroachments by stoops, stairs, and porches within the area between the front façade and the property line. PARKING: Off-street parking shall be accessed through alleys along the rear or side property lines, thus eliminating driveways from the residential streetscape with the following exception: • Driveways and garages may front onto, and be accessed from a street in the case of a corner lot. The garage and/or driveway shall be allowed to front on the side street. ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS • Residential buildings shall have relatively flat fronts and simple roofs with most building wing articulations set at the rear of the structure. Window projections, stoops, porches, balconies, and similar extensions are exempt from this standard. • Gable roofs, if provided, shall have a minimum pitch of 9/12. When hipped roofs are used, the minimum pitch shall be 6/12. Other roof types shall be appropriate to the architectural style of the building. • Architectural embellishments that add visual interest to the roof, such as dormers and masonry chimneys may be provided.
