Implementation Approach UCPUCP
UCPUCP Lessons Learned Renewed and heightened focus on pedestrian mobility. Pedestrian realm (sidewalks and crosswalks) Building / sidewalk relationship
UCPUCP Elements Under Consideration 1. Pedestrian cross section
UCPUCP Elements Under Consideration 2. Build-within-zone 3. Minimum built frontage 4. Minimum transparency 5. Sidewalk entrances 6. Driveway spacing standards
UCPUCP Illustration 10’ Planting & Utilities 5’ Pedestrian Zone 75% Min. Transparency 25% 75% Built Frontage Curb Edge of Pedestrian Realm Property Line 10’ Build Within Zone
UCPUCP Issues to Consider 1. Mandatory vs. incentivized 2. Geographic application 3. Neighborhood protection
UCPUCP Mandatory vs. Incentivized 1. Mandatory elements – all corridors A. Pedestrian realm standard B. Driveway spacing 2. Other elements may be incentivized
UCPUCP Mandatory vs. Incentivized 1. Economic / market implications A. Direct costs B. Market / risk (“1,321’ effect”) 2. Opportunities for incentives A. Urban corridor standards B. Obtainable benefits Increased buildable area Reduced parking requirements
UCPUCP Increased Buildable Area
UCPUCP Geographic Application Pedestrian Core District Other Corridor University Uptown
UCPUCP Geographic Application 1. Uptown A. Incentivized 2. “Other corridor” A. Incentivized B. Linked to neighborhood protection 3. Core pedestrian district A. Possibly mandatory elements & “automatic” benefits B. Also possible additional incentives
UCPUCP Neighborhood Protections 1. Angular plane A. Tied to incentives 2. Single family share threshold for withholding incentives 3. “Other corridor” areas only Angular Plane Lot Line
UCPUCP Upcoming Process 1. Ordinance & Policy Drafting 2. Defined Review Process A. Mixed Use / TOD Committee B. Planning Commission C. City Council Committee on Regulation, Nbhd Protection and Development D. City Council
