SUMMARY

  • Base site development on the street hierarchy
  • Reconnect the grid through the site
  • Restore pedestrian connections north to south

and east to west

  • Frame view corridors
  • Weave together the urban fabric of the

neighborhood

SUMMARY

  • Employ the same high density as in the neighborhood
  • Combine the best aspects of the neighborhood building

forms

  • Provide streetwalls to create a pedestrian environment
  • Use variation of height to maximize light and air

SUMMARY

  • Create a human scale that extends the character of the

neighborhood

  • Locate housing in mixed-use buildings above street-oriented

retail

  • Maximize ground floor activity and transparency; minimize

impacts of parking, service, and blank walls

  • Create new streetscapes that define a strong pedestrian

realm

SUMMARY

  • Provide flexible layouts to accommodate various

non-residential uses

  • Locate non-retail commercial uses to maximize

transit access, visibility, and pedestrian circulation (Site 2)

  • Locate tallest elements at gateways and along

major streets

  • Relate a variety of retail types to the hierarchy of

streets
