GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Categories A through F were created by the Pentagon City Planning Task Force and published in the November 1997 Report of the Pentagon City Task Force but are not part of the original planning goals established in the February 1976 Pentagon City Master Development Plan.

A.1. Development should create a sense of place both internal and external to the site. It should contribute to the sense of place and community vitality envisioned for the entire Pentagon City neighborhood. A.2. High quality urban design and architectural design should define the site.

PODIUM STEPBACK ZONES

Principal entrances for all new retail should be located on street frontaoes. Arcades on street frontages are not recommended. Paved surfaces should extend to the building face, with landscaping elements limited to movable planters. Within the cafe/ display zone, some fencing and partitioning between establishments may be permitted by special use permit from Arlington County. Otherwise, these areas should remain accessible for pedestrian movement. All handicap ramps should be internal to buildings. On streets where residential buildings without a retail base

• ccur, street frontage should express the more passive and

quiet character of a residential neighborhood. To that end: All residential lobby entrances should front onto streets. Lobby entrances should be at grade, with a minimum clear height

OPEN SPACE/ PUBLIC SPACE

DESIGN FRAMEWORK: CONCEPT PLANS

The design of the buildings that line the streets will be critically important in giving an immediate impression to the public of the sort of place PenPlace will be. It is the design of the open spaces between the buildings, however, that will define the nature of the everyday experience of PenPlace to those who enter into it, whether by car, bicycle, on foot, or by streetcar. In the section of the design guidelines that follows, the typology of these open spaces wil be discussed and defined. They range in size and complexity from the sidevvalks that promote easy and gracious movement of pedestrians around Pen Place to plazas and parks that serve as gathering places, social spaces and venues for events, fairs and performances. PenPlace will include the full range of urban open space:

• streetscapes
• plazas
• parks

private green spaces Each has an important role to play, both in enlivening the public realm and in making it urbane and elegant. These qualities, in concert with carefully designed buildings, will be hallmarks of PenPlace, making it a desirable place to work, shop and enjoy life. This section of the design guidelines will describe each of these

• pen space types.
