Appendix F: Mixed Use Examples A. Mixed Use Concepts with Additional Annotation The following images are colorized versions of the mixed use concept included in the Land Use section of the Comprehensive Plan. These colorized concepts include additional annotation styles that more closely align with aerial examples of real mixed use projects in Appendix F, Section B. These are intended to better identify different building types, and to correlate design features with actual mixed use projects. The following definitions may be helpful when reviewing these concepts: • Points of Interest: Generally intended as public spaces such as an urban plaza or small park, but may also be a historical site, a building with architectural interest, a landmark with significance, or some other unique visual point of interest. • Primary Local Corridor (Visual and Physical): The main transportation and/or visual corridor linking the area; size is relative. When depicting a roadway, the cross-section is context sensitive to the adjacent land use. This could be considered the main thoroughfare or feature. • Secondary Local Corridor (Visual and Physical): Secondary transportation and/or visual corridors linking the area; size is relative. When depicting a roadway, the cross-section context sensitive. This is often shown as pedestrian connections but may also be secondary vehicular to highlight pedestrian prioritized areas. 1 FA1 Mixed Use Concept Color Diagram with Markup J I4 I I_I i I -L -a Continuous Traffic calming L Pedestrian�-- features Corridors S Diverse ousing Types I-- Tree-lined roads with] — parking as product ' W type transitions ■ _ ■ Shared, -- ■ " ■ v oCentralized Retail,Office,or j ■ ■ '� open Space Service Uses —j Grid Layout ■ - - q . . . 0 ■ ■ ■ ■ I Street Oriented Design r Layout ® Retail or Office � Office,Live-work, r+ _ LEGEND or Townhouses fLj�- Points of Interest 8 Townhouses or Condos --2 Multiple ,,� Primary Local Corridor Multi family non-residential - (Visual or Physical) Residential product types Single-family "� — Secondary Local Corridor Residential (Visual or Physical) Note: See Chapter 3 Evolving, Land Use, Mixed Use for companion graphic.

Public Spaces, Node, and Link Examples The following images are examples of pathways and public spaces that may be appropriate in mixed use areas. These are organized by interconnected nodes and links. Nodes are often places of respite or of focal activity, and activated with amenities that usually include constructed hardscape or play elements. Links are features such as pathways or linear spaces connecting nodes, usually visibly, and in a meaningful and interrelated context. These examples are all developed in unique projects with locations, environments, and land development policies that vary across the County. However, the design nodes and links depicted may be replicated in similar settings within Meridian. NOTE: For the draft version below, text is located below the image, for suggesting revisions and to track changes. Final text will be overlaid on the images instead (and likely integrated into metadata). 10 re 46�7lJj*'��y f^j�rs �/d ,y� �*+1 �l �/ - '.rl�:r,�) i�� '�•`�..
