“Active open spaces are proven to deliver an excellent return on investment, often supplying far more benefits than they cost to construct. These benefits accrue to private development while effectively strengthening communities and opening

pportunities for all.”

Proposed Plan Language

Park/Open Space for Bonus Area

Public Open Space/Park – A minimum 2/3-acre public open space or park should be

provided. This space is envisioned as a public civic plaza, common green, or hybrid type.

The space should have the following core components:

Should be welcoming, visible from the public realm, and accessible for park users of

all ages and abilities;

Should have connections to surrounding pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, with

access supported by wayfinding signage;

Provide a variety of seating options and shade elements;
Include an area designed for community gatherings such as farmer’s market, art

exhibitions, festivals, concerts, and other events;

Place(s) for unscheduled uses such as unstructured play should be included; and
Include focal points, which may include but are not limited to water features and

public art.

Include activity elements for park users to engage in physical or social activity

which may include but are not limited to shaded seating areas, gardens, amphitheaters, areas for unstructured play, and fitness courses.

Note 1: Typical street cross sections are depicted. Although dimensions are noted, final street design will require accommodation of all applicable road design infrastructure. Additionally, final street designs may vary as necessary to address other design and engineering goals and requirements. Note 2: VDOT requires a 1-foot maintenance buffer at the back of the sidewalk or shared use path on the edge of the right-of-way. Note 3: Not to Scale.
