Ad hoc Advisory Committee Meeting #2 3.12.2014

Comment:

  • Curb cuts should be minimized and

limited to N. Pitt and N. Royal

Potential Strategies:

  • Parking shall be located below-grade

(excluding townhomes)

  • Access to parking shall be from an

internal alley

  • All townhomes shall be rear load

Building Character - Streetscape

Comment:

  • Provide variation in facades to create

visual interest Potential Strategies:

  • Where residential uses are provided,

individual entries, stoops and canopies should be provided on the street frontage at regular intervals

  • Building materials shall be brick,

stucco, wood, metal, stone or similar durable material

  • Adjacent to the existing townhouse

communities to the west and south, provide elements such as bays, projections and step-backs

Open Space - Connections

Comment:

  • Provide a contribution to improve adjacent open space

Potential Strategies:

  • Contributions shall be used for streetscape improvements on the

adjacent block to the east to provide a continuous open space connection from the site to the River.

  • Contributions shall be used for improvements to Wythe St Park.

Ad hoc Advisory Committee Meeting #2 3.12.2014

Comment:

  • Public open space should look and

“feel” public

Potential Strategies:

  • Provide a publicly accessible open

space, a minimum of 25 ft. in width, along the Wythe St frontage to connect with the River.

  • Include elements such as street trees

and seating areas to reinforce the public nature of the open space connection.

Open Space - Connections

Ad hoc Advisory Committee Meeting #2 3.12.2014

Comment:

  • Achieve a balance between public and private open space

Potential Strategies:

  • Provide appropriate setbacks (not to exceed 10 feet) on North

Pitt and Pendleton Streets to respect these sensitive edges.

Open Space - Connections

Ad hoc Advisory Committee Meeting #2 3.12.2014

Open Space - Connections

Comment:

  • Private open spaces should be

distinguished from public open spaces

Potential Strategies:

  • In addition to the publicly

accessible (physically and visually)

  • pen space, provide ground level
  • pen space for residents.
  • The final location and amount shall

be determined through the development review process.

SITE

1992 Small Area Plan Retail Focus Areas

Plan seeks to reinforce the viability of existing retail activity and add additional retail and other service uses to the mix of uses to provide a more urban flavor and enhanced pedestrian activity. “A retail focus area (RFA) is a location where retail and personal service uses are viewed as vital to the neighborhood.” “…All retail focus uses are to be at ground floor locations and are required to provide street front, sidewalk-access entrances.”

Existing Land Use / Retail Areas

  • Generally, the location of

existing retail uses align with those identified by the 1992 RFA strategy.

slide-40

Ad hoc Advisory Committee Meeting #2 3.12.2014

Comment:

  • Predominantly residential, although some nonresidential uses

could be contemplated

Potential Use Categories to Consider:

  • Office
  • Hotel
  • Residential
  • Retail
  • Entertainment
  • Is it necessary to define use?

*The RM zone permits single-family, two-family and townhouse dwellings, but not multi-family, office, hotel, retail or entertainment uses.
