Emphasize a compatible mix of uses, including retail, commercial, office, residential, civic, cultural, and educational, that support functional, attractive, and livable urban neighborhoods, districts and activity centers. Urban SC CP UDC does not require mixed use. Comp Plan addresses. B-1.1.3.1.2. Relate proposed development, including land uses and activities, to adjacent and surrounding uses and public spaces as appropriate to maintain compatibility and establish the continuity of the planned urban form and character. Urban SC CP B-1.1.3.2.Anticipate the addition of future transit systems to the transportation network and plan for the integration of appropriate transit facilities and infrastructure. Urban SC CP Allowed to count as an amenity in UDC 11-3C-3C. B-1.1.3.2.1.Coordinate routes, placement of facilities, and infrastructure improvements with the appropriate transportation authorities and any adopted or accepted long-range plans.Urban SC CP Exists in all sections. Referenced in UDC 11-6A-7G.4 C-1.1.3.2.1. B-1.1.3.3. Appropriately address the critical issues of site layout that influence urban development character, including, but not limited to, street networks and patterns, block configurations, vehicular access, pedestrian connectivity, building orientation and site layout, parking, and public spaces. Urban SC CP B-1.2 Street Networks Urban SC SN Just a heading that will exist where appropriate B-1.2.2.1.To establish a foundational framework, with suitable urban street patterns, that encourages the development of functional, attractive, and integrated urban environments.Urban SC SN Need reduced buffers in urban core. Some conflicts in UDC. B-1.2.3.1.Use an appropriate urban development pattern, such as a grid, grid and squares, radial, web or other combination of geometric forms, as a framework for street networks and block configurations.Urban SC SN Urban circulation system is already defined (TMISAP TOD), or already exists (downtown). Discussed with TN-R and possibly PD. B-1.2.3.1.1.Development proposals in the Downtown District and Old Town should extend the use of a grid pattern.Urban SC SN Downtown Circulation system already exists.

Coordinate traffic movements and direction with the surrounding roadway pattern.Urban SC SN Addressed in master street map. B-1.2.3.2.2.Where appropriate, preserve or create and use alleys as part of the street network. Alleys allow for internal access to blocks and reduce the need for direct access off roadways. Urban SC SN We allow/encourage, but may need to modify standards. B-1.2.3.3.Establish blocks that are compatible with the urban framework and street network. Where appropriate, enhance or restore existing block configurations.Urban SC SN First sentence exists in 1.2.2.1, and second merged with 1.2.3.1.1. Addressed in master street map. B-1.2.3.3.1.Blocks should generally be square, slightly elongated rectangles, or geometrically shaped (if the urban development pattern used is other than a grid). Urban SC SN Not sure what this is saying. BP and JL agree. B-1.2.3.3.2.Use block configurations that provide relative uniformity in size, spacing, shape, and orientation. Urban SC SN Not sure what this is saying. BP and JL agree. B-1.2.3.3.3.11-2D-6 Generally, blocks should not exceed a length greater than 500 feet along any side; however, greater block lengths may be appropriate on a case-by-case basis after considering the need or purpose of the increased length.

Individual building and site access points are discouraged. Urban SC AC This is something that often happens on the architects level I think (could be UDC or DM) . Need a site and grading plan to prevent x-access issues. B-1.3.3.2.Provide pedestrian connections that establish contiguous pedestrian networks throughout the urban environment.Urban SC AC Sub action item is same thing but more specific B-1.3.3.2.1.11-3A-19 Use sidewalks, mid-block passages, on-site pedestrian circulation, alleyways and multiuse corridors to link adjacent uses, including blocks, buildings, public spaces, and parking facilities.Urban SC AC Current Planning staff to revise pedestrian walkway standards in UDC 11-3A-19A4.

Place building façades at or close to the build-to-lines (property lines and/or setbacks as appropriate in the zoning district and/or streetscape standards) to provide street walls as elements of the urban form. Urban SC OL Downtown/mixed use urban specific. Site / master plans (just UDC) don't do this necessarily. Perfect example is Primary Health in Grammercy. Not what was intended…at all. B-1.4.2.1.2.Orient building façades toward roadways and public spaces to enclose and delineate pedestrian environments and streetscapes. Urban SC OL Downtown/mixed use urban specific. Mostly about specific site/building design, but has implications linked with master plan/larger phased developments. B-1.4.2.1.3.Where appropriate, extend building façades to interior lot lines (and rear setbacks on alleys) to establish a continuous street wall along block lengths. Urban SC OL TOD / Downtown. Does UDC address specifically (O-T)? B-1.4.2.1.4.Use buildings that incorporate articulated façades and architectural elements or integrated public spaces to anchor block corners at intersections.Urban SC OL Functionally same in all sections. Nothing wrong with allowing integrated public spaces for other sections (the different part from C, D, and E)C-1.3.2.1.4. B-1.4.2.2.11-3A-19 Primary building entries for ground level and upper story uses should be oriented to provide access from adjacent roadways and public spaces.

Strategically locate public and urban spaces to encourage pedestrian activity, enhance the attractiveness of the community, and create landmarks that add character and identity to urban environments. Urban SC OL Unclear where this fits. Very much part of specific site/building design for urban, but maybe less for suburban B-1.4.2.3.1. Integrate public spaces with street patterns, block configurations, and building placements to establish a network of various urban amenities, including gathering places, open spaces, and streetscapes. Urban SC OL Very much part of specific site/building design for urban. Significantly revised to make architectural guidelines appropriate.

B-1.4.2.3.3. Building façades designed to accommodate courtyards, outdoor seating or dining areas, and other such spaces should coordinate with the streetscape and minimize the setback beyond the build-to- lines to maintain the continuity of the street wall and urban form. Urban SC OL Shortened to work with 1.4.2.3.1 for move to architectural guidelines. B-1.4.2.3.4. Where appropriate, incorporate public space to anchor prominent intersections and street terminuses. Use squares, parks, common greens, plazas, or other suitable urban spaces that serve as destinations within the urban environment. Urban SC OL Significant revision to support previous guidelines and move to architectural guidelines B-1.4.2.4.Place transit facilities adjacent to or near public spaces and/or prominent buildings as integrated urban elements.

Use a parking strategy that includes one or a combination of the following: structured parking, on- street parking, integrated small parking areas, and/or shared parking as an alternative to general surface parking. Urban SC OL I think this often changes when a building is actually designed. You know, come in with a larger or smaller user? B-1.4.2.5.3.Where appropriate and consistent with roadway typologies and classifications, provide on-street parking integrated with adjacent streetscape.Urban SC OL Onstreet parking could be with infill…but I think that's probably unlikely in terms our outside TMISAP/Downtown.

B-1.5.3.1.6. Screen parking adjacent to public spaces, roadways, and pedestrian walkways with landscaped buffers, low walls, architectural elements, or a combination that provides continuous screening at a height of 3 feet. Additional elements above 3 feet should provide 70 percent transparency. Urban SC PK May incorporate in the UDC parking standards. 3-foot shrubs is easy. What's the intent here? How can "special" entryway corridors just be poorly maintained turf (e.g. - Lowes on Eagle)D-1.4.3.2.7. B-1.5.3.2.
