Lessons LearnedRenewed and heightened focus on pedestrian mobility.

• Pedestrian realm (sidewalks and crosswalks)

• Building / sidewalk relationship

Issues to Consider

1. Mandatory vs. incentivized

2. Geographic application

3. Neighborhood protection

UCP

Mandatory vs. Incentivized

1. Mandatory elements – all corridors

A. Pedestrian realm standard

B. Driveway spacing

2. Other elements may be incentivized

UCP

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

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

UCP

Neighborhood Protections

1. Angular plane

A. Tied to incentives

2. Single family share threshold for withholding incentives

3. “Other corridor” areas only Angular Plane
