MEMORANDUM! OF ADVISEMENT
On Tuesday, August 28, 1984, at an open meeting of the Park West
Association, the following motion passed by a vote of eight to
six:
In the Zoning Ordinance Draft for Southeast Overtown/Park
West, the maximum F.A.R. proposed in areas SPI-16, SPI-16.1,
and SPI-16.2 for mixed -use should instead be the maximum
F.A.R. for commercial use. In addition, a bonus of 2.0
F.A.R. should be added for•residential developments in the
stated areas.
It should be noted that not everyone voting was a member of the
Park West Association, and that many members were not present.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM OF ADVISEMENT
On Friday, August 31, 1984, the Park West Association Board met
and agreed on the following positions:
1. The motion passed at the open meeting, August 28, 1984,
does not have full support of the Board of Directors
due to the fact that more of than 50% of our members
were not present, and several people voting were not
t
members of the Association.
2. The Special Public Interest Zoning Ordinance as written
in the August 28, 1984 Draft does not have full support
of the Board. It is our opinion that some commercial
densities are too low.
3. Some compromise needs to be reached allowing property
owners greater flexibility -at the -very least, current
commercial floor area ratios should not be reduced.
4. The Board also recommends that a review of zoning in the
Park West Redevelopment Area occur in two years. This
will protect the interests of property owners should
development not take place as expected.
Respectfully _submitted,
Elizabeth W. McDowell

I, INTRODUCTION
REDEVELOPMENT CONTEXT
Miami is becoming an International Canter for f•inanta and trade. During
the past 10 years., Downtown Miami has seen the -implementati)n of a varied
range of projects which are beginning to have a significant effect on its
employment and business climates in addition to its skyline.
Based on projections calling for a doubling of the employee population
by the Year 2000. the need and demand for housing within and adjacent
to Downtown will be crucial. This demand coupled with the existing
absence of available housing represents a strong and viable basis for
the redevelopment of the ZOO plus acre Southeast- Overtown/Park West
area as a residential oriented "New -Town -In -Town."• Figure 1 shows
the relationship of the redevelopment area to the major development
areas= of • Downtown and the Central Sus i Mess• District .

REDEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND
The Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan represents the culmination
of various planning recommendations and actions on -going since the 1970's.
Both neighborhoods have been the focus of specific redevelopment proposals
including the 1976 Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. Since 1976, .
• each neighborhood has been singled out for detailed programs ranging from
rehabilitation, infill development to urban renewal and total redevelopment.
Finally, in late 1982, Southeast Overtown and Paris West were combined to
create the present Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area. The
present plan contains recommendations and programs for the development of
a balanced residential community with retail, hotel, office and recreational
activities.
OVERTOWN
In 1977, the City of Miami approved an Overtown Redevelopment Plan based on
earlier development opportunities identified in the 1976 Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan. In 1980, the Dade County Commission also endorsed and
adopted this plan. The Southeast section of Overtown (the area now included
within the redevelopment boundaries) contained planning sub -areas that
included a rehabilitation demonstration project and recommended areas for
total redevelopment. These projects were carried over and included in -the
1982 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Plan prepared by
the City of Miami Planning Department. (See Figure 2.)
PARK ',JEST
In 1973, the Park West Area was recommended for redevelopment in an urban
development and Zoning plan prepared for the Downtown Development Authority
and the City of Miami Planning Department. The rec nwndation was
incorporated in the 1976 Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. In 1979,
the Downtown Development Authority with --le City of Miami began preparation
of a redevelopment plan for the area. In 1980, the City of Miami, and in
1981, Dade County officially designated Park West a redevelopment area.
In late 1981, this redevelopment plan was =mpleted. When Southeast Overtown
was combined with Park West, the original boundaries were extended to 1-395
and Southeast Fifth Street to complete the redevelopment area (see Figure 3).

II. URBAN DESIGN STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
The Redevelopment of Southeast Overtown/Park West into a viable Dcwntcwn-
residential community requires the coordination of a wide range of general
and specific planning and design issues. Land use, zoning, density,
economics, -pedestrian and vehicular cireulatiori and—public/private amenities
are some considerations in structuring the implementation framework for
redevelopment of the area,
To. ensure development •that i s- cons i stan t wi th the Redevelopment PTan and to
provide a means of evaluating each proposed development, standards and
guidelines have been compiled as a supplement to the. Special Public interest
(SP I j •Zoniq! 0fs tr i'ct Ordinance for . the -•area— These'
documents represent
the complete package for regulating the physical development of Southeast
Overtown/Park West.
STANDARDS
Urban Design_ Standards detail the design principles to be followed in
each development. They address functional relationships and in specific
situations require additional design features for designated blocks....
GU-1DEL: 1NES "
Urban Design Guidelines are design concepts which reinforce standards
while allowing development alternatives for individual expression. The
Guidelines are oriented towards visual concerns and areas for special
treatment and/or attention. Urban Design Guidelines are not mandatory
as standards are but are an integral part of the planning and design
process. They are the means of communicating urban design, architectural,
planning, landscaping and environmental concerns and principles.

REDEVELOPMENT GOALS
Urban Design Standards and Guidelines are supplementary means of achieving
the Goats and Objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. From general area -wide
concepts to specific block design requirements, they regulate parts of
development activity. Their intent is the planning and construction of
integrated urban complexes, quality buildings and an environment that
respects human scale and encourages inaximum public amenities and pedestrian
activity.
Southeast Overtown/Paris West Project Goals are concerned with creating
this quality environment and the Standards and,Guidelines have been
structured to:
- Establ i sh Southeast Overtown/Ptrk West as a "New -Town -In -Town"
with a variety of housing opportunities and support uses.
- Establish an urban environment adjacent to the Central Business
District that provides direct access to shopping, recreation
and employment.
- Coordinate infrastructure planning with the phasing of private
development.
- Establish development standards that will ensure a quality
environment with a positive impact on Downtown growth.
- Establish Urban Design criteria that allow for development
diversity while maintaining sound site planning principles.
URBAN DESIGN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The implementation of the redevelopment goals will be accomplished by
coordination of issues addressing traffic and access, site requirements,
and building design standards. The basis for the Urban Design Standards
and Guidelines contained within this document are the following Goals
and Objectives as they relate to the above issues. They apply to the
entire redevelopment area as well as to each individual biotic.
TRAFFIC AND ACCESS
VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
Develop an area traffic plan that will:
;ark

BUILDING DESIGN
BULK AND MASSING
Encourage the design of buildings and urban camplexas with attention
to human scale that:
- Creates a variety of form with visual and spatial interest.
- Responds to differences between street and avenue scale..
- Maintains the building line for continuity between buildings and
adjacent blocks.
- Takes maximum advantage of potential views.
- Are oriented to.respect view corridors and relat.ignships to
adjacent buildings.
- Varies the facade plane for visual relief.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
Encourage the design of energy efficient buildings that:
- Are oriented to maximize the positive and minimize the negative '
C aspects of the South Florida climate.
- Are finished in light colors for maxlmura reflection and minimum
transmission of heat.
- Provides for shading of exterior glass surfaces subject to the
direct rays of the sun.
- Contain energy efficient mechanical systems.

III. URBAN DESIGN STANDARDS
Urban Design Standards established to implement aspects of the Goals and
Objectives of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Plan apply
to all development parcels within the adopted boundaries.
They are represented on two levels: general and specific. General controls .
apply to project area issues and specifid controls apply to individual blocks.
in addition to the above,•some blocks of the redevelopment area, because of
their location or function, have inherent unique development opportunities.
These special development areas are presented i'n more detail because of
their positive impacts on the area. and their roles as activity nodes and
redevelopment generators.
The following Urban Design Standards address the issues presented As
Redevelopment and Urban Design Goals and Objectives. They define the
traffic, access, site and building requirements which must be followed
for implementation of any potential development.
TRAFFIC AND ACCESS
The development intensity will be increased with the redevelopment of the
C area. The corresponding increase in area traffic has been estimated based
on projected population and use demands at build -out. These projections
„mere analyzed and general traffic needs determined as part of the Development
of Regional Impact (DRi) process. The controls relating to traffic and access
are supportive of these conditions when the area is fully developed.
Based an traffic projections, two actions have been taken for the redevelopment
area that change the capacity and configuration of the street network. These
changes are reflected in a number of stree r 4nd/or alley closures and in
the establishment of new zoned street rights -of -way. The street closures
have also been utilized to create development blocks in scale with the
rest of the area and require the abandonment of the right-of-way (see
Figures 4- 13) .
VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
N.W. 7th Street between N.W. 3rd Avenue and N.W. 1-st Court, N.E. and N.W.
9th Street between N.W. 3rd Avenue and Siscayne Boulevard and N.W. 1st Court
between N.W. 6th and 8th Streets, will be closed to traffic with the
exception of emergency or service vehicles and redeveloped as pedestrian
malls. North/south vehicular movements will continue to be permitted as
through traffic.

SITE PLANNING
Site planning controls are the means of setting development limits. They
define public and.private areas and the responsibilities of the developer
in the creation of an environment that represents a balance bet -mean buildings
and open space. The major emphasis of these controls is to ensure that
pedestrian circulation, open space and landscaping respect the needs of the
public whether resident or visitor.
BASE BUILDING LINE ALONG STREETS
- A minimum of 15 feet from the curb lime to the base bu i 1 di nQ
1 i no sha 1 I• be prdv i dad' a 1 ong a 1 1 -s treet fron tages .
BASE BUILDING LINE ALONG AVENUES
- Except as otherwise indicated, a minimum of ZO feet from the curb
line to the base building line shall be provided along ail avenue frontages.
PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
A hierarchy of pedestrian circulation corridors is required in the
C redevelopment area. Pedestrian malls, primary and secondary avenue
corridors, local street corridors and pedestrian easements have been
designated to serve a variety of types and scales of pedestrian
circulation. (See Figure 16'.)
The mails are the major pedestrian traffic generators. The uses
(predominantly retail and service) along the malls wi•11 become a focal
point for residents and visitors.
Primary avenue corridors are major north -south links to Downtown
activity centers and the Omni Area.
r'-
Secondary avenue corridors are the other north -south .1 inks of lesser
activity with a more local orientation.
Local streets corridors are the east -west connectors between area
neighborhoods .w i th i ow -density activities.
Pedestrian through block connections link developments to each
other or to activity nodes.

SIGNS
- International symbols shall be utilized on all informational signs.
- The design and location of signs shall be integrated with building
facades and their structural treatment.
- Signs shall be required to provide an identity to individual blocks
while maintaining a continuity with the entire redevelopment area.
BU I LO t NG DESIGN
The design and orientation of buildings within the -redevelopment area shall
reflect the Florida life-style by providing the advantages of urban living
without ignoring the sub -tropical environment and the need and ability of
residents to enjoy It all year round.
The bulk, massing and height of the buildings shall be carefully considered
for each block as It relates to the entire area. The creation of "concrete
canyons" shall be avoided and buildings oriented to provide views of
Biscayne Bay to the maximum number of residents.
The design and orientation of buildings shall also address the need for
energy efficicency, impacts of the sun and the effect of a building's
casting of shadows on adjacent buildings and surrounding open spaces.
BULK AND MASSING
- No building shall be constructed to contain large expanses of unbroken
facade.
- High-rise buildings in tower form shall not have width greater than
one half the width of a development block.
- High-rise buildings in slab form shall not have a length more than
twice their width without a break in the facade plane.
- Recesses or balconies shall be used extensively to break the facade
plane thereby reducing the perception of mass.
VIEW CORRIDORS
- High-rise buildings shall not be sited so that they are directly
opposite each other.
- When high-rise buildings are located within adjacent blocks, their
center lines shall be off set a minimum of one-half their combined
length or width (see Figure 22.)
- Balconies shall be located as much as possible along view corridor
frontages to maximize bay visibility (see Figure 23.)

V. URBAN OESIGN GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
Urban Design Guidelines are an integral part of.the Redevelopment Plan
and shall be interpreted in conjunction with the Urban Oesign Standards
and Special Public Interest (SPI) Zoning Ordinance. As a means of both
assessing development and highlighting important design decisions, the
guidelines are intended to provide broad design opportunities while
requiring a basic design unity and continuity throughout the redevelopment
area.
Whereas the Urban Design Standards section dealt with a wide range of large
scale development issues, the guidelines are concerned with those smaller
scale issues and elements which have a great impact an the public: those
which the pedestrian (resident and visitor) perceives from a human vantage
point.
LANDSCAPING/PLANTING
The use of plant material within Southeast Overtown/Park West will be
required to most both functional and aesthetic criteria; whether located
at street level with maximum public exposure or above grade within
private or semi -private areas. Whether external or internal, the
landscaping provided shall:
- Make use of color as accents to the streetscape.
- Reinforce the urban character of the area.
- Avoid complexity by stressing simple concepts -and design.
- Create as much variety as possible with special attention to
themes or effects which give identity to blocks or special,
activity areas.
- Be located tc mitigate the impacts of summer sun.
FUNCTIONAL GUIDELINES 1
- Shade from trees with a dense•canopy provides relief from the sun's rays
j and creates passive activity areas when planted to form a "bosque" effect.
(See Figure Z9.)
- Bosques should be only located in predominantly paved areas.
- Palms can provide shade if planted in• tight clusters and should be of
varying heights for the best effect (See Figure 30.)
Intermediate height trees should be used for shading smaller spaces

A
- Spaces with western exposure -should be, shaded from summer sun with
large trees. Shaded linkages between building should also be considered.
(See Figure 32.)
- Trees should be located for maximum shade using sun angles and altitudes
to determine locations in relation to adjacent uses.
- Shade provided by buildings should be considered and utilized.
- Trees should be placed to supplement the solar protection provided
by architectural design elements.
SCREENING
- Oense planting along major avenues, streets and expressways can
reduce vehicular noise.. (See Figure 33.)
- Proper selection and placement of plant material can funnel cooling
breezes or serve as wind breaks to desired areas.

AESTHETIC GUIDELINES
FUNCTIONAL SIMPLICITY
- 1n planting composition there should be a• dominance of material,
color or texture to provide unity.
- Accent materials should be utiiized to create contrast.
- Simplicity in planting is preferred over busy, complicated arrangements.
PUBLIC/PRIVATE TRANSITION
• Planting between public and private spaces should reflect a.transition
from formal materials and arrangements (public) to more unique and Informal
plantings (private-).
• Public sidewalks and their landscaping shall be the
res pons i b i 1 i ty of the developer.
- There shall be no visual breaks in streetscape continuity
and the streetscape shall create a consistent
= landscaping concept.
PARKING ROOF/RECREATION HECK PLANTING
` - The exposed roofs of•parking structures shall be major open spaces and
recreation areas. These rooftops should give the impression that the
area is actually at -grade with plantings and landscaping elements that
are integral components of the rooftop.
- Tubs may be usedfIn limited situations but their usage should be.
minimized as much as possible. See Fiqure

Structurally integrated planting containers which create spaces
and •variety- i n the - height of the planted ground plane should be ut i 1 i zed
as much as possible. (See Figure 35.)
• The development of a rooftop concept which integrates planting, paving
and grade changes with the structures defining the area into the creation
of an environment rich in variety and spatial experience is encouraged.
(See Figure .36.)
SCREENING
• Plant materials are useful in the visual screening of unsightly views
such as exposed utilities, storage -and loading areas. Areas potentially r
distractive to the -visual environment should be identified and appropriately
screened. (See Figure 37.) ,
- The scale and density of pianting for screening should be appropriate
to the situation:
1
COLOR
- The use of flowering trees and "plants is encouraged.
1 - Permanently planted materials should be large bold masses of uniform color,
compatible with adjacent materials.
• Temporary, blooming plants in the ground and in containers, should be
rotated and replaced as necessary.
- A program for control and maintenance of ail flowering plant materials
should be undertaken by the developer.
PLANT SPECIES
The following plant material s are suggested for use.
The final selection of planting materials to be used will be a function of
availability and adaptability, and will be determined upon presentation and
( approval of a project landscaping plan.

RIM
PAVING
The paving and treatment of at and above grade spaces should reflect the
variety, scale and diversity of the spaces.
Whether public or private, active or passive, all paving should:
- Be visually interesting without being complex or busy.
- Combine materials, textures, and. color changes in a logical fashion.
- Not dominate the v_i,sual experience and/or function of the space.
- Be of.high quality and easily maintained.
FUNCTIONAL GUIDELINES
SOLAR REFLECTION/ABSORPTION
- Dark paving surfaces provide minimal reflection and absorb and
retain heat. They should be used selectively for warmth through
delayed radiation in winder months.
- Lighter surfaces, reflect solar radiation and absorb and retain
less heat. They should be used to minimize glare and heat retention
during summer months.
- Areas which receive tittle winter sun should use darker materials
to maximize heat absorption for later release.
- Areas exposed to direct summer sun should be light non -heat
retaining surfaces.
- Areas in the sun should be paved with materials which balance
maximum glare reduction with minimal heat retention.
USE SEPARATION
- Thrre should be a separation of materials between adjacent but
different uses at the same grade. (See Figure 38.)
- Protection for pedestrians can be achieved through the introduction
of boilards in vehicular/pedestrian areas. The provision of a curb Is
preferable. (See Figure 39.)
- A change in materials or texture should be used to provide pedestrians
with knowledge of a change in use/activity/direction.
BARRiERS/ACCESSIBILITY
- All pedestrian areas should be barrier -free utilizing ramps and
sloped curbs.

- Ramps should be level at top and bottom, with slopes not to exceed
1 in 12, nor lengths longer than 30 feet. (See Figure 40.)
AESTHETIC GUIDELINES
- Paving surfaces should provide var i;t ions i n color, texture or size.
- Where concrete i s• used, a broom finish texture may be accented by a
smooth, trowied edge and/or scoring.
•. Where modular materials are used, a change in size or direction may
be ut i 1 i zed to ach i eve vari ety. .
- A combination of monolithic and modular materials is encouraged.
(See Figure 41.)
PUBLIC/PRIVATE TRANSITION
- Transition may be accomplished by the establishment of a major
plaza directly adjacent to a sidewalk.or pedestrian corridor.
- Transition may emphasize an entrance or arrival area. (See Figure 42.)
- Paving interior to developments should respond to use, movement and a
scale appropriate to each situation.
C.^ - Areas for sitting should be treated differently from those of circulation.
- The scale of paving materials should be proportioned to the scale of the
space (See Figure 43.)
- Paving should be used to define or highlight special features.
- Changes between materials or textures should be cidarly defined'. (See
Figure 44.)
- Where elements of street furniture occur within this -paying fabric,
consideration should- be given to their integration. (See Figure 45.) _
- Scoring of surfaces should avoid acute angles or strange shapes.
SURFACE WATER/DRAINAGE
- Where inlets occur in paved areas the visible elements.should fit
within the pattern and material of the paving surface.
- French drains or open gutter channels should be integrated within
the paving surface. (See Figure 46.)

GRADING
FUNCTIONAL GUIDELINES
In addition to assuring that water run-off is collected grading can also be
an unifying element connecting buildings and spaces and complementing such
elements as landscaping, paving and the architecture of proposed buildings.
In general, grading within the project area should:
- Create a varied -level environment consistent with functional
and aesthetic goals.
- Be integrated with abutting elements to provide a sense of t
unity and continuity.
- Be -creative and not an after -the -fact addition. -
- Util itagantle slopes, stairs, vertical walls, to achieve diversity.
- Mot dominate the visual environment.
FLAT SURFACES
- Pavement areas should not have less than 1% grade.
- Planting areas should not have less than a 2% grade.
SLOPING SURFACES
- Paved pedestrian ramps provided should be between 5% and 84 grade.
- Vehicular grades in parking garages should not exceed 12%.
- Other than parking garages, vehicular grades should not exceed 8%.
- Grassed areas should not exceed a 25% slope.
- Ground cover or shrubbed areas can have as much as a 50% slope.
- Slopes at 100% grade shal.1 be provided with rip -rap or a
retaining wall/structure.
USE SEPARATION,
- Where uses are compatible, a minor change in grade can serve to
define differences in activities. (See Figure 47.)
- '.There adjacent uses are different, separation by grade and/or
planting can be used to mitigate corresponding impacts.
- Grading may be used where uses are not incompatible, but
definition between the areas is desirable. (See Figure 48.)

WATER FEATURE
FUNCTI CNALL GU i OEL I NES
The original redevelopment plan for Park West made use of extensive water
features along the Ninth Street Mali. Use of water throughout the
redevelopment area is. a s•trongl•y recommended clema t to enhance the
quality and diversity of the pedestrian experience and environment. In
considering the design and placement of water features, concern should
be given to the following:
- The use of water, from visual to participatory is encouraged
if consistent with surrounding activities.
- Water features should not dominate the visual experience,
but be an element contributing to the total scans.
- Water elements should not be restricted to pedestrian areas and
are also encouraged within plazas and other high activity areas..
- Water feature design should be considered an integral part of
the buildings and ground plane and developed as such.
USE
- Moving water should be used to add animation to the environment
including sound and reflection.
- Water should also be used for participatory activities and as a
cooling element (misting or sprays).
- Water in elevated basins can be located as focal points of the
visual experience.
- Varieties of movement should be considered such as: Fallinq water,
shooting, water spouts, jets and running water.
- Running water can serve as a visual transition between two or
more water elements.
- The incorporation of running -water with pedestrian stairs or ramps
can add interest to the pedestrian experience.
- Water designs should be developed whirr incorporate several forms
into one feature.
- The use of water in connection with sculpture and/or lighting
can add elegance and vitality to the environment.

SIGN/GRAPHICS
Signs have significant visual impacts upon the pedestrian environment.
A_positive or_negative attitude can be created simply by graphics that
establish the character of an area. The main objective is to encourage
a high quality of graphic expression throughout Southeast Overtown/
Park west which should:
- Be harmonious wi th the character of each area according to i is use.
- Be restrained and no larger than necessary for Identification.
- Be cons i s tent with the highest graphic standards.
- So architecturally part of a building, not independent of, or
in conflict with, the building's architecture.
- Be located and designed with consideration for continuity and
consistency.
- Be located and sized to preserve views to and from adjoining parcels.
FUNCTIONAL GUIDELINES
-.The size of signs should vary depending on how they are viewed ,
l.~ (from a moving auto as opposed to a pedestrian).
- Signs should not be located at an excessive height which makes
viewing difficult.
- Signs and graphics should be simple and present their message
with clarity and directness.
- Graphic symbols as substitutions for words are encouraged. (See Figure' 49.)
- in pedestrian open spaces adjacent to commercial establishments or
extensive public activity, kiosks are encouraged for public notices.
_
- Directories should be located in commercial areas. Directories
should.be designed consistent with the architectural character of
area buildings.
AEMETI C GUIDELINES
- When several signs are adjacent to one another, a vertical and/or
horizontal consistency should be maintained.
- Graphic consistency should also be achieved by use of similar colors
and materials.
- Theme area signs rshoul-d be internally consistent with similar type
faces and materials.
- Developers should establish signage controls in their lease
agreements with commercial tenants.
sty
69
SS-313

c
- Sign locations should relate to the building's facade.
- Arcade signs should be patted between the structural supports as
inserts or suspended elements. (See Figure 50.)
- The integration of signs with lighting standards is encouraged.
- A building should be designed to allow for replacement of
commercial signs by future tenants.
- Signs with three dimensional relief are preferred over flat -
painted signs.
- Rotating, moving, or changing signs should be provided if
functionally consistent with, and complementary to, adjacent buildings
and open spaces. .
STREET FURNITURE
All street furniture provided within the Southeast*Overtown/Park blest
Redevelopment Area should complement the total enviironmentai experience
(with as many consistent project -wide elements as possible for
continuity) and:
- Emphasize the pedestrian orientation of the project.
l - Maximize use of passive areas with street furniture.
- Provide for structured and unstructured activity.
- Achieve a design which is part of the overall environment.
- Avoid visual chaos and random distribution.
SEATING
- Seating should be located adjacent to pedestrian corridors and _
heavily trafficked areas. (See Figure 51.)
- Seating materials should be compatible with adjacent buildings
and pavement surface and texture.
- The use of heavy stone masonry is discouraged.
- Buildings adjacent to pedestrian areas should provide ledges for
informal seating.
- The bases of flagpoles, fountains and other architectural elements
should consider seating.
- Steps should be designed to encourage seating (See Figure 52.)
- Architectural elements within spaces should be located/designed
to encourage spontaneous and informal activity.
- Developers should provide elements for children to occupy their
time while parents shop (Ninth Street Mall). (See Figure 51.)

- Bicycle racks should be located adjacent to entries. outdoor soacas
and between bicycle paths and other circulation systems. (See Figure 54.)
- A variety of rack designs is encouraged to be emphasized or
minimized relative to their need for visibility.
- Bicycle racks may be utilized as elements which define pedestrian spaces.
TRASH CONTAINERS
- Trash containers should be located along all pedestrian corridors
and spaces.
- Trash containers should be designed in two pieces ( a permanently
attached outer structure with an internal removable container).
(See Figure 55.)
CLOCKS -
- Clocks should be located at points.of orientation or focal points
within theme areas.
Clock design should reflect the archi•tacturail surroundings.
INTEGRATION OF FURNITURE
Street furniture elements (seating, platforms, bike racks, trash
containers) and other landscaping elements (lighting fixtures, signage)
should be designed as a compatihle design theme or consistent concept.
LIGHTING -
Lighting design and location should be considered both for buildings and
exterior spaces.
In considering lighting concepts, efforts should be directed towards:
- The day vs. nighttime character and activities of the pedestrian
visual experience.
- The specific design of the light and light standard.
- The specific uses and function of the lighting (whether for
circulation or highlight of elements or activities).
- A consistent theme which is in harmony with adjacent properties.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
+
BUILDING DESIGN
The length, width and geometric form of a building in relationship to height,
interior and exterior floor areas should be considered in respect to energy
conservation.
Building orientation and configuration should take advantage of prevailing
winds and natural cross ventilation through occupied spaces.
The design of buildings should also consider:
-
- Operable windows to control air through the building.
- Openings in walls to allow breezes to cool interior open spaces.
- Stacked vertical shafts and stairwells to promote. natural air flow.
To reduce electrical energy consumption the following should be considered:
t
increase window size to- the point where yearly energy* consumption
balances the saving made by using natural 1 igh t .
- Locate windows high to increase reflection and reduce glare.
- Provide exterior natural and artificial shading devices that allminate
direct sunlight but reflect light inside.
- Provide reflective surfaces and slope vert i ca.l walls so that
windows are self -shading.
CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
- Minimize. cracks and joints.
- Avoid thermal bridges through exterior surfaces.
- Reduce heat transmissions by the following:
.Insulation.
,Solar control for walls and roof.
.Roof ponds.
,Sod and planting.
.Equipment rooms on the roof.
,Doub.le roofs with ventilated space between.
Reduce infiltration quantities by the following:
.Impermeable exterior surface materials
,Control of leakage around doors and windows,

.External weather stripping.
.Operab-le windows with seating gaskets and cam latches.
.Entrances with vestibules or revolving doors.
.Sealed vertical shafts.
.Intermadiatat point breaks for elevator shafts and stairwells.
- Use insulation which cart be most efficiently applied to optimize the
thermal resistance of the wall or roof.
- Protect insulation from moisture.
- Reduce heat gains through windows by the following:
.Minimum ratio of window area to wall- area.
.Ooub]a glazing.
.Double reflective glazing.
PLANNING AND PROGRAMMING
Group services rooms as buffers on the north to reduce heat loss or on the
south to reduce heat gain.

highest exposure loss.
- Group rooms so that the sane ventilating air can be used more than once.
- Provide less gross floor area/person to reduce the size of the
