S P R I N G F I E L D PLANNING COMMISSION Council Goals: Encourage Economic Development and
Revitalization through Community Partnerships
ITEM TITLE: DOWNTOWN DISTRICT DESIGN STANDARDS (File No.TYP414-00001 )
ACTION REQUESTED:
Conduct a work session to begin the Planning Commission’s consideration of potential new land use regulations and engineering standards applicable to new
development and public streetscape improvements within the Downtown Refinement Plan area. Consultant Marcy McInelly (UrbsWorks) will present an overview of the proposals to date. Staff is seeking general comments and early
input from the Planning Commission as the project reaches its “halfway” point.
ISSUE STATEMENT: Council directed staff to pursue concurrent amendments to the Springfield Development Code (SDC) and the Engineering Design Standards Manual
(EDSPM) to implement and enable the new development and streetscape design
envisioned in the adopted Downtown District Urban Design Plan adopted in 2010.
ATTACHMENTS: Attachment 1: Draft Streetscape Standards Attachment 2: Draft Development Standards
DISCUSSION:
Downtown’s revitalization and redevelopment continues to be a high priority of the
Council and Springfield citizens. Increasing development capacity within the City center is a key element of the Springfield 2030 Comprehensive Plan. As the economy emerges from recession, the City can expect to receive more development
proposals. Each could contribute to Downtown’s improvement and the City’s growth in potentially positive or negative ways, depending on the design of
development and where development occurs. The proposed design standards are
intended to enable new opportunities for larger scale, more intensive mixed-use commercial, employment and residential development, as well as opportunities for
smaller scale infill on existing small lots. Instead of a “one size fits all” regulation,
three different subareas are proposed to create design standards that are responsive to and respectful of the character and scale of Downtown’s Main Street and the
adjoining Washburn Historic District.
Since the Planning Commission’s last discussion of this project on Feb. 3, 2015, the
City’s Project Team (Pauly, Krueger and Greisel) have been conducting a planning process to review and update the City’s standards — working with the City’s consultant, the Downtown Citizen Advisory Committee, and an interagency
Technical Advisory Group. Next steps for the project include advisory committee meetings on April 28th, a Community Open House on May 4th, and a Council work
session on May 23rd. Several more draft iterations will be produced between now
and the end of the year to address and incorporate the input received. The proposed draft design standards presented in Attachments 1 and 2 will eventually be
incorporated into the City’s land use regulations as a new Downtown Plan District
chapter of the SDC and a new chapter of EDSPM. The new code will include “form-based code” regulations to implement the new design standards for building
form, setbacks, frontage, facades, height and other elements addressed in the
attachments. At this time, staff does not expect to incorporate significant changes to the list of permitted land uses currently allowed in the Downtown.

Alleys
Springfield has a rich network of alleys in its downtown. Alleys are defined
as the narrow streets that run through the middle of a block, providing access
to the rear of buildings. Functionally, they are important for a number of
reasons: They accommodate existing service delivery, waste and recycling pick-
up and provide off-street parking.
In addition to these important service-oriented functions, alleys can become
delightful areas of the public realm, providing opportunities for engaging
public spaces where people visit, relax, and enjoy being with other people.
They can incorporate public art and encourage economic development
through increased business density and small-scale retail opportunities.
Alleys help expand the pedestrian network and connectivity throughout the
downtown and to other parts of Springfield. They enhance and extend the
pedestrian and bicycle networks through car-free, more intimately-scaled
spaces. They can also be safer, quieter, and more interesting routes than
existing streets.
Alleys not only provide vibrant places for people, they can create opportunities
for green infrastructure and stormwater management. Alleys, when combined
with vegetative swales, green streets, and parks, supports ecological processes
and provides habitat for birds and local plants, and contribute to human
health. Alleys can be both symbols of and catalysts for green city initiatives.
Alley Typologies
Activity Through Connections: Alleys that serve as nodes for activities such as
cafes, bars, and retail.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Through Connections: Alleys that prioritize pedestrian
and bicycle access to provide connections to parks, businesses, and retail.
Green Through Connections: Alleys that expand green space in downtown
through the addition of trees or plantings.
Service Access Connection: Alleys that prioritize service access for deliveries,
waste and recycling pick-up and provide off-street parking.

Alley Type Proposed Locations and Current
Conditions
Primary Urban Alley. The Primary Urban Alley
runs east-west between A Street and Main Street,
and connects Mill Street with 10th Street before
becoming a residential alley. This alley varies
in width from 12.5 feet to 16 feet. (Source:
Google Earth Pro). This particular alley is critical
because it runs along the north side of Mill Plaza.
Therefore its primary function is urban public
space and commercial use; its secondary function
is pedestrian and bicycle mobility; and its third
function is service and off-street parking access.
Its fourth function may be to accommodate
stormwater.
Secondary Urban Alley. The Secondary Urban
Alley downtown runs east-west between Main
Street and South A Street, and connects 6th Street
and 8th Street. This alley varies in width from 14
feet to 16 feet. (Source: Google Earth Pro). Its
primary function is service and off-street parking
access; its secondary function might be stormwater
management; its third function is pedestrian and
bicycle mobility, and its fourth function is urban
public space and commercial use.
Secondary Service Alley. The secondary service
alley runs east-west between A Street and B, and
connects 4th Street to 7th Street and 8th Street
to 9th Street. Its primary function is service and
off-street parking access; its secondary function is
stormwater management; its third function is pedestrian and bicycle mobility, and its fourth function is
urban public space and commercial use (between 4th Street and 7th Street, only).
New Alleys. New alleys may be introduced whenever new blocks are created, e.g. south of South A Street.
Their hierarchy of functions may be as follows: Primary function, service and off-street parking access;
secondary function, stormwater management; third function, pedestrian and bicycle mobility; and fourth
function, urban public space and commercial use.Attachment 1, Page 9 of 31

Sidewalks
Sidewalks connect pedestrians with their
destinations. They also serve as the site for loading
and unloading vehicles; as public meeting and
gathering spaces; as a place for outdoor dining;
and as a venue for commerce. Sidewalks play a
vital role in city life. As conduits for pedestrian
movement and access, they enhance connectivity
and promote walking. As public spaces, sidewalks
serve as the front steps to the city, activating streets
socially and economically. Safe, accessible and
well-maintained sidewalks are a fundamental and
necessary investment for cites. They have been
found to enhance public health in general and
maximize social capital. Superior sidewalk design
can encourage walking.
Sidewalks are the part of the public space
immediately adjacent to the roadway. The sidewalk
area includes a pedestrian zone that must remain
clear, both horizontally and vertically. Public space
components that share the pedestrian zone are
considered part of the sidewalk, e.g. driveways.
Careful design of sidewalks will ensure that
pedestrian access routes are functionally adequate,
safe, and fully-connected into an integrated and
accessible network. Sidewalks support the character
and distinct identities of their neighborhoods.
Sidewalks (and planting strips, where applicable)
should be as wide as possible appropriate to foot
traffic and available street width. Dimensions
and materials are based in part on neighborhood
context. Wide sidewalks are used in commercial
areas to accommodate pedestrians, as well as street
furniture, vendors, and sidewalk cafés; narrower
sidewalks may be used in residential areas where
paving is secondary to landscaping and streets are
part of Springfield’s open space network. Different
sidewalk paving materials helps reinforce distinct
neighborhoods and differentiates specific streets.
Varying the type and color of materials within a
block can be effective to indicate areas of special
use, such as driveways, sidewalk cafés, and plazas.
Include planted areas and stormwater source
controls within sidewalks wherever possible when a
maintenance partner is identified.

Sidewalk Zones
The five sidewalk zones, from property line to curb, are:
» Frontage and Marketing Zone: The area
adjacent to the property line where transitions
between the public sidewalk and the space
within buildings occur. The frontage zone
is the portion of the sidewalk located
immediately adjacent to buildings, and
provides shy distance from buildings, walls,
fences, or property lines. It includes space for
building-related features such as entryways and
accessible ramps. It can include landscaping
as well as awnings, signs, news racks, benches,
and outdoor café seating.
»Pedestrian Through Zone: The portion of the
sidewalk for pedestrian travel along the street.
» Street Furniture Zone: The portion of the
sidewalk used for street trees, landscaping,
transit stops, street lights, and site furnishings.
It serves as a buffer between the pedestrian
travel way of the sidewalk and the vehicular
area of the street within the curbs. It provides
space for urban design elements such as street
trees, planting strips, street furniture, utility
poles, sidewalk cafés, sign poles, signal and
electrical cabinets, fire hydrants, bicycle racks,
and transit stop shelters.
» Edge Zone: The area used by people getting in
and out of vehicles parked at the curbside.
» Sidewalk Zone Extension: The area where
pedestrian space may be extended into the
parking lane, via features such as parklets, bike
corrals, and bulb-outs.

Sidewalk Zone Extensions: Bulb-outs
Bulb-out Goals
A bulb-out, or curb extension, is an expansion of
the curb line into the lane of the roadway adjacent
to the curb (typically a parking lane) for a portion
of a block either at a corner or mid–block. Curb
extensions enhance pedestrian safety by reducing
crossing distances, pedestrian exposure, and
minimum required signal time for crossings. Curb
extensions make the crosswalk more apparent to
drivers and encourages them to stop in advance of
the crosswalk. They improve the ability of crossing
pedestrians and drivers to see one another. Curb
extensions reinforce lane discipline for drivers
through intersection. They slow vehicle turning
movements and emphasize the right of way of
crossing pedestrians.
Curb extensions can reduce the pedestrian’s crossing
distance by as much as 15 to 20 feet, and they also
serve to make the pedestrian more visible to motorists
approaching the intersection.
Curb extensions provide additional pedestrian
space that reduces crowding, particularly for
queuing at crossings and bus stops. They create
space in the public realm that may be used to locate
street furniture, bike parking, bus stop kiosks, and
public seating. They reduce sidewalk clutter and
keep fire hydrant zones clear when located in front
of a hydrant.
A pair of curb extensions can be located on either
side of a street to create a mid–block crossing or
at an intersection to create an urban gateway to a
neighborhood or district.
Bulb-outs
Placement Goals Middle of blocks
Intersections
Curb extension may extend to the bicycle lane where provided and
striped.
Paving Paving on curb extension should match that of the surrounding
sidewalks.
Width The width of a curb extension is typically two feet less than the width of
the adjacent parking lane. When on an arterial, collector or local street,
the curb extension typically extends 2 feet beyond the parking striping.
Minimum Length The minimum length for a curb extension is equal to the full width of the
crosswalk. Where appropriate or necessary curb extensions should be
longer.
Radius The design of curb extensions should accommodate a WB-50 design
vehicle or maintain a 20-foot curb radius, whichever is smaller. Where a
conflict with design vehicle turning movements exists, reduce the size
and extent rather than eliminate the curb extension wherever possible. Attachment 1, Page 13 of 31

Street Trees
Streetscapes represent the most significant public spaces of the city. Street trees,
and the canopy that they create, are the single most prominent feature of the
public realm. Trees support a pedestrian-friendly environment with a human
scale. Street trees provide structure and definition to streets, plazas, and open
spaces. Based on their context, arrangement, and spacing, street trees can:
»Frame, define, and accentuate the public realm of streets;
»Enhance the continuity of the street and emphasize longer views;
»Provide filtered light and welcomed shade to all in the public realm;
»Reinforce the rhythm of urban blocks by supplementing the urban street
wall;
»Define an urban ceiling and create a sense of enclosure; and
»Add texture, delight, and human scale.
Trees are an ideal form of shade providing protection on hot summer days,
and allow heat and light to penetrate when it is needed most during the cold
winter months. They can also calm traffic by creating a sense of enclosure
and narrowing the apparent width of the roadway. Trees can enhance retail
environments when appropriate species provide high canopy so that visual
access to retail spaces is maintained.
They also trap airborne pollutants and absorb carbon dioxide. Biodiversity
is essential to sustainable landscapes, and a range of trees will be planted to
ensure a healthy and diverse tree population into the future.
Tree Pits
A tree pit is the excavation in which a street tree is planted; in the urban
context the pit may represent the whole of the root volume available to the
tree when mature. Tree pits should be used extensively wherever sidewalks
exist. Individual Tree Pits are the current standard, but Connected Tree Pits or
Stormwater –Capturing Tree Pits may be used to provide improved tree health
and to manage stormwater from the street. The ability of a tree to grow to a
mature size and remain healthy is directly related to the volume of rooting soil
available. When the rooting space for a street tree is constrained, the tree will
grow until the space is filled with roots, but then the tree will decline and die.
Providing sufficient rooting soil is necessary to achieve the benefits that street
trees provide.
Tree Box Area
Ground cover in tree box area provides seasonal color and serves as a buffer
between pedestrians and cars. Maintenance of ground cover plantings is
extremely important to sustain the functional and aesthetic benefits. Other
than street trees, plantings may include turf, ground covers, or shrubs. Attachment 1, Page 14 of 31

Tree Planting between curb and sidewalk in soft planters – South A Street
Description Continuous plantings along the street edge provide a welcome buffer for
pedestrians from automobiles and trucks on higher speed streets, like South A
Street. Continuous plantings also discourage informal mid-block pedestrian
crossings. Trees are planted between the Pedestrian Through Zone of the
sidewalk curb and the street roadway surface. Tree pits are continuous. The
planting area surrounding the tree box area is grass or other soft landscape
planting as approved by the City.

Tree Planting in the Sidewalk Furnishing Zone – Main Street (and others)
Description The superficial appearance of urban street tree plantings in the Furnishing Zone
of the sidewalk can vary. Most often street trees in the most urban conditions
have their root zones protected by tree grates which expose only the trunk of
the tree. A covered tree trench is the area of soil under pavement that is
designed to support root growth while providing structural support for the
sidewalk. A covered tree trench makes it possible to have large canopy shade
trees in even the most urban environments.
Location Requirements
•Use covered tree trenches in locations with heavy pedestrian traffic and
high turnover parking: Downtown Mixed-Use, Main Street, Mill Plaza, and
other streets as shown on the Regulating Plan;
•Use a variety of street tree species along a block to avoid species blight;
•Make provisions for water to reach the soil beneath the pavement.
Provisions may include the use of pervious pavement or the installation of
flexible, perforated pipes beneath the pavement;
•Verify location of overhead and underground utilities;
•Preserve the continuity of the Through Zone of the sidewalk; and
•Coordinate with placement of street furniture and street lights.
Minimum Dimensions •Provide as large a trench as possible. The trench should be at least 5’-0”
wide and 3’-0” deep and should provide at least 500 cubic feet of soil for a
single tree or 350 cubic feet of soil per tree if the space is shared among

Stormwater Capturing Tree Pit
Description An Individual Tree Pit or Connected Tree Pits designed to capture stormwater
from the adjacent roadway. Well-designed Stormwater–capturing Tree Pits can
benefit tree health by increasing the amount of water each street tree receives
and reducing the need for manual irrigation. They provide stormwater detention
from street and sidewalk. If well-maintained, Stormwater-capturing Tree Pits
beautify neighborhoods and green the streetscape.
Location Requirements
•Locate Stormwater–Capturing Tree Pits in the Street Furniture Zone of the
sidewalk;
•Locate Stormwater–Capturing Tree Pits carefully to ensure that adequate
sub–drainage and overflow drains are not installed; and
•Linked Stormwater–capturing Connected Tree Pits should be used
wherever feasible instead of Individual Tree Pits.
Minimum Dimensions •Provide as large a trench as possible. The trench should be at least 5’-0” wide
and 3’-0” deep and should provide at least 500 cubic feet of soil for a single
tree or 350 cubic feet of soil per tree if the space is shared among several
trees; and
•Design tree pits to discourage the encroachment of pets.

Streetscape Furniture
Street furnishings create a comfortable sidewalk
experience, eliminating clutter and providing
convenient amenities to pedestrians, making
it more enjoyable to pass through and use.
Streetscape furniture consists of permanent
elements in the Furnishing Zone such as benches,
planters, trash and recycling receptacles, bike racks
and bollards. The objective of street furniture is
to provide these amenities at convenient intervals
to accommodate pedestrians, making the sidewalk
a desirable and safe place to inhabit. Street
furnishings not only provides people with places
to sit and rest, they provide spaces for socializing
and people-watching, helping to create an active
and lively street life. Street furniture can also serve
as a buffer from the noise of cars on the street.
This type of furnishing differs from Café Seating,
which is allows businesses to extend their seating
to adjacent sidewalk area. See the Café Seating
section of this document for further information.
Streetscape furniture elements should be cohesive
in appearance, adding a consistent, identifiable
language that helps reduce visual clutter. The
designs should be simple and compatible with
the character of the neighborhood and the design
and layout of the furnishings should maximize
function, comfort and safety. All streetscape
furniture must be reviewed and approved by the City.
Placement Considerations
Streetscape furniture is most commonly found
in the center of the Furnishing Zone. Furniture
placed in any zone of the sidewalk shall not
obstruct the Pedestrian Through Zone and must
provide 6 feet of clear sidewalk width at all times.
Provide minimum 3 feet clear on all sides of the
streetscape furniture, poles, trees or other sidewalk
obstructions.
Location Considerations
Street furniture is most useful and desirable
in Springfield’s downtown area. Higher
concentrations of street furnishings should be
present in areas of greater pedestrian activity.

Parklets and café seating contribute to a vibrant
urban culture and help to make downtown
Springfield a more dynamic place to walk, socialize
and dine. Both parklets and café seating are
privately funded and maintained, but they serve
as a public space for everyone. Café seating is a
temporary dining area that occupies part of the
public right-of-way and is located in the Street
Furnishing Zone or the Frontage and Marketing
Zone. It is often associated with a particular
business or restaurant and can add seating capacity
for its customers. In contrast with café seating,
parklets convert on-street parking spaces into
usable open space for the public. Both types of
gathering spaces help activate a streetscape, adding
pedestrian activity and enhancing economic
development in the surrounding neighborhood.
They can be elaborate structures or very simple,
depending on the design and budget. Though they
are considered temporary structures, they can offer
year-round amenities. All café seating and parklets
must be reviewed and approved by the City.
Design Considerations
Neighborhood Context: Parklets and café seating
arrangements work best in areas where people
frequently walk and they can be a good way
to add pedestrian space where sidewalks are
narrow. Consider adjacent uses that might be
complimented by the addition of a parklet or café
seating area. Some examples include nearby food
Parklets and Cafe Seating
Common Elements
»Common elements of parklets include:
built-in seating, tables, landscaping, areas for
play and performance.
»Common elements of sidewalk cafés
include: tables, chairs, umbrellas, barriers,
planters, waste receptacles and menu display
carts, a farmer’s market, a bike share station or a
popular restaurant.
Location on the Block: Parklet locations should be
chosen to keep sightlines clear for people on the
streets and the sidewalks. See the City’s program
(forthcoming) for more information on location
requirements. Maintaining good visibility is critical
to a safe downtown for both pedestrians and
drivers.
Pedestrian Through Zone: 6 feet minimum of
unobstructed pedestrian passage in the Pedestrian
Through Zone of the sidewalk. No element of the
sidewalk café may obstruct the Pedestrian Through
Zone.
Durability of Materials: It is important for sidewalk
cafés to be equipped with quality furniture
and fixtures that contribute to the safety and
attractiveness of the public realm. Furniture and
fixtures must be of sturdy construction, durable,
maintainable, and able to withstand severe weather
without blowing over. While a variety of tables,
chairs and umbrellas are acceptable, the context of
nearby buildings and downtown Springfield should
be considered when selecting furniture and fixtures. Attachment 1, Page 29 of 31

On-Street Bike Corrals
Bike corrals convert on-street car parking spaces into bicycle parking, accommodating up to 12 bikes
per single parking stall. This bike parking area frees up sidewalk space for pedestrians by providing a
higher concentration of bicycle parking in the on-street parking area and it helps to promote multimodal
transportation in the downtown area by placing corrals in convenient locations.
Design Considerations
Neighborhood Context: On-street bike corrals should be placed in areas where there is already a
concentration of bicycle and pedestrian activity and where automobile speeds are low. Corral placement
can encourage bicycle activity and promote an active street culture and well as bring business to adjacent
shops and restaurants. Consider proximity to nearby activities and destinations such as retail shops and
civic buildings or popular restaurants and cafes.
Location on the Block: On-street bike corral locations should be chosen to keep sightlines clear for drivers
and pedestrians. Good visibility and appropriate buffered edges are critical to maintaining a safe and
pleasant bicycle parking experience. See the City’s program (forthcoming) for more information on
location and dimension requirements.Attachment 1, Page 30 of 31

Wayfinding Signage
Wayfinding singage contributes to a well-designed
streetscape, helping to orient, direct and inform, as
well as add character to a particular neighborhood
or district. Wayfinding signage includes any
sign with words, graphics, or maps that provides
information about a place and is used to help
orient and inform. It is a valuable component to
the streetscape and is found in the public right of
way. Signage helps visitors orient themselves to
their surroundings, providing information about
nearby amenities or points of interest, helping
to direct pedestrians to places they are trying to
go. It is a key component to navigating the city,
contributes to a positive image and adds vibrancy
and visual consistency to a streetscape.
In addition to navigation, signage contributes to
the identity of a place and can highlight historically
and culturally significant areas or showcase the
identity of a community. It can serve as a landmark
and add to the unique character of a place. A
complete wayfinding design suite for Springfield’s
downtown should include multiple scales of signs
directed toward different types of users including
pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
Types of Wayfinding Signage includes:
Standalone Signs. These are freestanding panels, or signs on posts that provide general awareness, often
giving directional information about nearby attractions and orienting visitors.
Street Attachment, Temporary Banners. These are non-permanent signs that can be removed easily.
Temporary banners might highlight an upcoming annual festival or simply relate to a particular
neighborhood. They enhance neighborhood identity and add vibrancy to a community.
Street Attachment, Neighborhood Identifiers. These are signs that help create a positive community
image and strengthen the identity of a place. They help to guide visitors along an area and could provide
information sequentially. They might attach to preexisting street lamp or other street furniture in the
public right of way and could be a permanent fixture.
Wayfinding signage is maintained and controlled by the City.

SPRINGFIELD PATHFINDING PROJECT
When it comes to signage in Springeld, the three key things I think the city needs most is consitency, simplicity, and readabili-
ty. I initially sought out to create an image and logo for the signs
but ended up going with an arched design. I think the simplici-
ty is necessary in this case for not only architectural purposes
but also for readability. I think a sign that is too complex can
take away from the overall purpose of waynding. Another
thing I thought was necessary was to create color codes for both
districts and places of interest. This helps onlookers associate
where they are located based on the color of the sign. The color
code gives the signs throughout Springeld more consitency
and also contrasts with the font on the signs; giving viewers a
more readable sign.
DESTINATIONS DISTRICTS

pedestrian/ bicycle signage
pedestrian kisoks
ISLAND PARK
SPLASHSWIM CENTER & PARK 0.2 MI

The kiosk design could also be used for mapping at bus stops. Maps would be large and color coded for readability. In this case, the district in which the stop bus stop is located would be highlighted by
its color; while the surrounding areas would remain a greyish tone. Again, this will give the viewer a clear, less confusing idea of where they are current-ly located. The muticolored kisoks wouldn’t nece-sarrily be used for bus stops but more for general areas.
These signs are designed to give bicyclists an idea of where they are in relation to the city of Spring-eld. Being that there would be plenty of other signage within the city, I thought these signs would
be appropriate in areas like the example shown below.

Intent of the Downtown
Development Standards
The intent of the Downtown Development
Standards is to ensure that new development and
redevelopment within the Springfield Downtown
creates a unified and cohesive public environment.
Streetscape and building design within the district
should be oriented to the pedestrian, and details
should be coordinated to create a high quality
public realm as it is experienced from the streets,
the sidewalk, the alleys, urban open spaces and
from within buildings.

How the Downtown Development
Standards are Organized
1) Downtown Subareas
This section introduces the Downtown Subareas
Plan (Figure 1) and the Development Standards
for Downtown Subareas (Table 1). The Downtown
Subareas Plan organizes all lots within the
Downtown into three subareas. Development
standards which regulate the building envelope
for any given lot are determined by the subarea on
which the parcel sits.
Recognizing the importance of the relationship
of buildings to each other and the role they
play in framing streets and open spaces, the
first, fundamental set of regulations determine
the footprint, height and shape of buildings
(building envelope) and the location of buildings
on lots. Regulations are intended to achieve the
Downtown Urban Design Plan (DDUDP) goals
for taller buildings and increased dwelling and
commercial space downtown, while maintaining
the positive attributes of downtown Springfield,
including small, walkable blocks, alleys for service
and loading and fine-grained building façades.
There are three different areas identified for the
Downtown, each with a different purpose and
character:
»D1 – Mill Plaza / Island Park District
»D2 – Downtown Center
»D3 – Downtown Flex Zone
What is being regulated in this section:
»Minimum Lot / Parcel Size
» Lot / Parcel Coverage
»Front Yard
»Side Yard
»Rear Yard
»Minimum Building or Podium Height
»Maximum Building Height
»Height of Required Step Back
»Step Back
»For lots located on the Washburne Historic
District edge:
• Setback
• Height of Required Step Back
• Step Back
• Height of Additional Required Step Back
• Additional Step Back
2) Downtown Building Frontage and Facade
Design by Street Type
This section introduces the Building Frontage
and Facade Design Plan (Figure 2) and the
Development Standards for Building Frontage and
Facade Design (Table 3). The Building Frontage
and Facade Design Plan organizes all lots within
the Downtown into a hierarchy of three Street
Edge types. Development standards which regulate
façade and edge treatment for any given parcel are
determined by the street edge type on which the
parcel fronts.
INTRODUCTION
Attachment 2, Page 5 of 54
DRAFTDOWNTOWN AND PUBLIC REALM DESIGN STANDARDS
CITY OF SPRINGFIELD, OREGON DRAFT 2 | 18 APRIL 2016 | URBSWORKS, INC 2.2
The next series of regulations governs the street-
facing façades of buildings, in recognition of
the importance of the wall or enclosure that a
group of buildings together provide to the street.
The identity of a subarea, neighborhood or
district is largely determined by its streets, and
how buildings relate to and contribute to the
character of those streets. Each street within the
Springfield Downtown has a personality that
can be strengthened by buildings with a cohesive
surface design, each contributing to pedestrian scale
and interest that is unique to that particular street
or set of streets. The façade and edge treatment
development standards in the following sections
are organized by street type to reinforce the unique
character that is envisioned for each particular
street, and reinforce that street’s “role” within the
larger Downtown street network. The three Street
Edge types are::
»Main Street and Urban Open Space
»South A, Pioneer Parkway West, Pioneer
Parkway East
»All Other Downtown Streets
This section also details the Building and
Landscape Frontage Types permitted on each street
edge. The Building and Landscape Frontage Types
address the elements of ground floor building
design most crucial in creating a pedestrian-friendly
downtown environment. These frontage types are
intended to work in tandem with the street types
to create a cohesive and unified public realm.
On any street-facing build-to-line not occupied
by a building, pedestrian pathway or driveway,
landscape screening is required. For most lots there
are multiple Building and Landscape Frontage
options to choose from.
This section also details façade articulation and
signage that is appropriate on each street type.
What is being regulated in this section:
»Building and Landscape Frontage
»Façade Articulation
»Transparency
»Entries
»Building and Sign Illumination
»Weather Protection
»Signage
3) Non-Location-Specific Standards
Section 3 governs development regulations which
apply to all development no matter where in the
Downtown it is located, such as structured parking
design and exterior lighting.
4) Open Space Typology
Section 4 provides principles, guidelines and
standards for Downtown urban open spaces (both
public and private), that were envisioned by the
DDUDP or will be permitted or required by the
new Downtown Standards.

Regulatory Approach
Large blocks can accommodate large buildings but
new development should be massed on the site
to maximize solar comfort on the new plaza and
maximize views of the river.
The public open space block shown in the
DDUDP as "Mill Plaza" was identified as a catalyst
project to be constructed in association with more
intensive redevelopment on surrounding blocks.
Surrounding blocks were identified as needing
a minimum amount of development to support
the public investment in the plaza, and this was
interpreted as a requirement for a minimum
number of stories and minimum foot height for
new buildings (3 stories and 35 feet). Proposed
regulation provided flexibility for developer
regarding building mass and height, while ensuring
that the massing proposal meets requirements for
providing riverfront access, maintaining views to
Island Park and river, and solar comfort for the
plaza.
Visual exposure and auto and transit access from
both East and West Pioneer Parkway is a benefit
but also a challenge: if not designed well, these
major streets will act as a barrier rather than a
bridge between the Mill Plaza / Island Park District
and the Downtown Center to the east, particularly
for people walking. Where Main Street, A Street
and South A Street intersect with East and West
Pioneer Parkways, pedestrian and bicycle crossing
should be low stress and inviting.
Principles
Use Mix
»Office uses
»High-density residential
»Commercial retail, including large format
retail, and services (restaurants, etc.)
»Entertainment venues (promoting evening and
nighttime activity)
»Civic and cultural uses
Building Siting and Massing
»Maximize urban development to support
public investment in public open space,
including streets and new plaza
»Break down big blocks with massing and

»Locate service access at the center of the blocks
so that loading and parking access is not from
the surrounding streets
Key plan showing locations of Subarea D1
D1 - Mill Plaza / Island Park District
Description
D1 – Mill Plaza / Island Park District is defined
as the area east of the riverfront Island Park, north
of South A Street, west of Pioneer Parkway East,
and south of B Street but including the block
north of B Street, between Pioneer Parkway East
and Pioneer Parkway West. It was identified as
the site of the Mill Plaza catalyst project by the
adopted DDUDP and includes nine blocks. A
few of the blocks within the Mill Plaza Mixed-
Use Neighborhood are larger than the typical
downtown blocks, specifically those between Island
Park and Pioneer Parkway West, and are therefore
good locations for new, large footprint buildings
that can accommodate major employment,
housing and retail.
In addition to new housing, large format retail,
storefront retail, and structured parking, the
DDUDP envisioned new office space. The
Development Summary (DDUDP Appendix)
envisioned Class A office space for major
employers, but the area should also accommodate
smaller footprint building and/or complexes
made up of smaller-footprint buildings which can
accommodate small creative service firms. The size
of sites will permit new users to control service and
loading from the center of the block, on new alleys,
which can also serve as access to new structured
parking. The size of blocks can also accommodate
the dedication of a significant urban open space,
consistent with the DDUDP vision.

Regulatory Approach
The recommended regulatory approach for this
area is, rather than requiring a minimum number
of stories, to only require a minimum building
height of 25 feet for urban form purposes, and
permit flexibility for how it is achieved. It would be
permitted to be achieved as a one-story building or
as a two-story building. The maximum permitted
height of buildings is proposed to remain at 90
feet. The minimum lot size will remain as the
current downtown standards dictate, at 6,000
square feet, which will enable larger developments
within the Subarea D2.
Principles
Use Mix
»Focus of downtown retail, service, cultural and
entertainment uses
»Medium to high density
»Commercial retail and services (restaurants,
etc.)
»Entertainment venues (promoting evening

to enable larger development
»Locate service access at the center of the
blocks so that loading and parking access is
not from the surrounding streets
»Vertical mixed use buildings are encouraged,
but not required
Façade and Edge Treatment
»Promote new buildings that incorporate Main
Street building patterns, such as corner entries,
storefront bulkhead and building cornice
»Require higher retail storefront with transom
and tall bay heights
»Require weather protection
»Permit contemporary architectural treatment

D2 - Downtown Center
Description
D2 – Downtown Center is defined as the
approximately five-block area of full blocks and half
blocks to the north of Main Street and straddling
A Street, between 5th Street and 10th Street, as
shown on Downtown Subarea Plan. It includes
the block between 5th and 6th Streets, north of
Main Street, which is currently half occupied by a
portion of City Hall. It was identified as the site of
new vertical mixed-use development consisting of
upper level residential and ground floor retail on
most sites. The DDUDP identified an urban open
space called the Post Office Park on the half block
south of A Street, between 7th and 8th Streets.
Post Office Park could be achieved in association
with redevelopment in the vicinity or by
Willamalane acquisition of land for a park in the
vicinity.

Regulatory Approach
The recommended regulatory approach for this
area is, rather than requiring a minimum number
of stories, to only require a minimum building
height of 25 feet for urban form purposes, and
permit flexibility for how it is achieved. One-story
or two-story buildings would be permitted as long
as they meet the minimum height for the buildings
and the minimum height for ground floor
construction where it is required. The maximum
permitted height of buildings is proposed to
remain at 90 feet.
The minimum lot size will be reduced from 6,000
square feet to 2,500 square feet, acknowledging
that much of the new development in this area
will be incremental and on a lot-by-lot basis. The
predominant downtown Springfield lot is 50 or
70 feet wide by 120 feet deep, or 6,000 to 8,400
square feet, but there are a significant number
of small lots that are 2,500 square feet or smaller
which would be able to redevelop immediately
upon adoption of the new standards.
Principles
Use Mix
»Downtown retail, service, cultural and
entertainment uses
»Medium to high density
»Commercial retail and services (restaurants,
etc.)
»Civic and cultural uses
»Small businesses encouraged through live-
work and home occupation

»Encourage incremental infill development of
small lots
»Encourage transition in scale, height and
bulk of buildings, especially closer to the
Washburne Historic District edge
»Require service access and loading to locate at
the center of the blocks, from the alley
»Vertical mixed use buildings are encouraged,
but not required
Façade and Edge Treatment
»Promote new buildings that incorporate Main
Street building patterns, such as corner entries,
storefront bulkhead and building cornice
»Permit contemporary architectural treatment
»Permit encroachments into the right of way,
such as bay windows, balconies and entry
overhangs
»Require detailed facade design for buildings
facing Main Street
Key plan showing location of Subarea D3
D3 - Downtown Flex Zone
Description
D3 – Downtown Flex Zone is defined as all
the blocks within the Downtown Development
Standards project Study Area which are not within
the D1 or D2 Subareas. The Study Area for the
Downtown Development Standards project
is bounded by, on the north, C Street (west of
Pioneer Parkway) and the Washburne Historic
District southern boundary (east of Pioneer
Parkway); on the east, 10th Street; on the west,
Island Park, and on the south, a line north of the
Southern Pacific Railroad tracks (east of Pioneer
Parkway East/ South 3rd Street) and South Mill
Street (west of Pioneer Parkway East/ South 3rd
Street). It is approximately 18 blocks.
It was identified as an area of minimal change in
the DDUDP, meaning that many sites were not
targeted for new development, particularly the
blocks toward the north of the study area, within
or near the Washburne Historic District (the
DDUDP included potential buildout concepts
for a number of blocks within the Washburne
Historic District). Buildout scenarios depicted by
the DDUDP were mostly infill of lots on already
developed blocks, or redevelopment of existing uses
on the same site, such as a new library, or a new
city hall.
The DDUDP approach to building height and
bulk was to require a minimum number of stories
and a minimum building height (2 stories and 25 feet).

Downtown Subareas | Definitions
The Downtown Development Standards rely
on existing code definitions in the Springfield
Development Code as well as new code definitions
and concepts. Both are listed below in alphabetical
order to guide understanding of the development
standards. Definitions from the Springfield
Development Code appear in italics.
ACCESSWAY mean a dedicated easement or right-
of-way intended to allow pedestrians and bicyclists
convenient linkages, where no public street access
exists, to streets, residential areas, neighborhood
activity centers, industrial or commercial centers,
transit facilities, parks, schools, open space, or trails
and paths.
ALLEY means a service way providing means of
public access to abutting property and not intended for
general traffic circulation.
BLOCK means an area of land containing one or
more lots/parcels surrounded by streets, railroad rights-
of-way and/or un-subdivided acreage.
BUILDING means any structure used or intended for
sheltering any use or occupancy.
BUILDING HEIGHT means the vertical distance
above a reference datum measured to the highest
point of the coping of a flat roof, to the deckline of a
mansard roof, or to the average height of the gables of
a pitched or hipped roof. The maximum height of a
stepped or terraced building is the maximum height
of all segments of that building. The reference datum
is, which either of the following of the 2 measurements
that results in the greater building height (refer also to
Figure 6.1-A):
The reference datum is the lowest grade when the
highest ground surface within a 5-foot horizontal
distance of the exterior wall is not more than 10 feet
above the lowest grade.
The reference datum is 10 feet higher than the lowest
grade when the ground surface described in A, above is
10 feet above the lowest grade.
BUILDING HEIGHT, MINIMUM applies
to new residential, office, retail commercial and
mixed-use buildings. It does not apply to existing
buildings, or to buildings with less than 1,000
square feet of gross floor area. For the purpose
of the Downtown Development Standards,
Minimum Building Height is regulated in
conjunction with Minimum Podium Height,
where in Subareas D1 and D2 the minimum
podium height is the same as the minimum
building height.
BUILD-TO LINE means a line parallel to the
property line that prescribes a consistent plane of
building façades along a public street and in certain
circumstances, alley frontages. The build-to line
provides predictable results in the urban form by
requiring a set location for the buildings as opposed to
the range of possible locations that a minimum setback
allows. The build-to line can be adjusted by utilizing
maximum building setbacks.
For the purpose of the proposed Downtown
Development Standards, the BUILD-TO
LINE means the line up to which buildings or
landscaping must be constructed.
CITY BLOCK AREA or CITY BLOCK means
the area located within the perimeter of the city
block described by a line extending along the
outside of the lots and across the ends of the alley
that comprise the city block.
CONNECTION, THROUGH BLOCK means
a grade level pedestrian, cycling, or vehicle access
route that is accessible to the public and extends
through a city block, and includes but is not
limited to a pedestrian walkway, a street, or an
access route through public or private land.
CONNECTOR, MID-BLOCK means a narrow
street and/or a bicycle/pedestrian corridor not less than
20 feet in width that reduces larger blocks to more
walkable dimensions (250 to 350 feet maximum).
A mid-block connector may be a public right-of-
way or privately owned and may include active use
frontages with overlooking windows and pedestrian-
level lighting. Limited service or parking access to the
interior of a block is encouraged. On-street public
parking may be provided, where feasible. Sidewalks

Washburne Historic District Edge | Definitions
The southern boundary of the Washburne
Historic District forms the northern edge of the
Springfield Downtown Development Standards
study area. The edge where the Downtown and the
Washburne Historic District meet is a meandering
line approximately north of B Street. The boundary
skirts the edge of tax lots and contributing
structures, falling on the street centerline, along
alleys and along side lots. The boundary runs next
to a few “non-contributing” and “not eligible “
properties that are nonetheless part of the larger
National Register of Places-recognized district.
Within the Downtown Development Standards
study area, maximum building height is currently
ninety feet and is not proposed to change
within the two abutting Subareas, D1 and D2.
That means that, on the downtown side of the
boundary, a new building may cover the entire lot,
with zero setback, and rise as much as ninety feet.
On the historic neighborhood side of the boundary
are historic structures of traditional residential
form, with yards on all sides, rising at most two-
to two-and-one-half stories; at most 40 feet. The
abrupt difference in scale is mitigated when there
is more horizontal distance between the two types
of structures: across a street or alley a more gradual
transition is possible than when a tall structure sits
on the very next lot.
The goal of the Washburne Historic District Edge
Standards therefore, is to acknowledge each type
of edge (street, alley, side lot) and ensure that
DOWNTOWN SUBAREAS
there is adequate space for a transition between
the potentially tall downtown structures and the
historic neighborhood structures.
The recommended regulatory approach is to
employ the horizontal distance of a street, an alley,
or a side lot line, along with new standards for
setbacks and step backs, to create a zone in which
massing can gradually transition from tall to small.
The proposed transition requirements may make
it difficult—and for small lots impossible—to
develop to the full permitted ninety-foot height,
but through consolidation of lots development will
be more possible and the transition will be easier
to ensure; the larger the lot, the easier it will be to
provide a gradual transition.
Where Subarea D2 abuts the historic district, lots
are required to be 6,000 square feet minimum. In
Subarea D3, lots are permitted to be a minimum
of 2,500 square feet. As a result of the proposed
Washburne edge regulations, lots neighboring the
historic edge may need to be consolidated before
they can take advantage of the permitted ninety-
foot height.
Below is a summary of each edge condition and the
new regulations which are detailed in Table 3.
Street-Facing Edge
The street-facing edge provides the greatest
horizontal distance between districts, and new
buildings across the street from the historic edge
need only meet the requirements in Table 1 –
Development Standards for Downtown Subareas.
Alley-Facing Edge
The alley-facing edge provides some horizontal
distance but in addition to the requirements of
Table 1 – Development Standards for Downtown
Subareas, new downtown structures must provide a
greater setback and two upper level step backs.
Abutting a Side Lot
When a new downtown structure sits beside the
historic district, on a side lot, in addition to the
requirements of Table 1 – Development Standards
for Downtown Subareas, a setback and a step back
must be provided.Attachment 2, Page 20 of 54

Urban Retail Building Frontage 1
A Linear Building Frontage 1 is characterized by
a façade that is built up to the Build To Line. The
building entrance is at sidewalk grade, except where
there are ground floor residential uses. Linear
Building Frontages have substantial glazing on the
ground floor, and, where required, provide awnings
or canopies cantilevered over the sidewalk. Building
entries must either provide a canopy or awning
and/or be recessed behind the front building
façade.
Urban Retail Building Frontage 2
Urban Retail Building Frontage 2 shall be created
by recessing a portion of the façade for a portion
of the building frontage. Urban Frontage 2 shall
be used in conjunction with the Urban Retail
Building Frontage 1. Urban Frontage 2 is suitable
for commercial or residential uses. Urban Retail
Building Frontage 2 may be suitable for gardens
and/or outdoor seating.
Overview of Building and Landscape Frontage Types
Urban Residential Building Frontage
Urban Residential Building Frontage is
characterized by a façade which is set behind the
Build To Line and a building entry threshold, such
as a porch or terrace, set between the building and
the Build To Line. The threshold may be elevated
above grade. The building entry is accessed from
this threshold. Landscaping may be provided in the
setback area between the building and the sidewalk.
A Porch-Stoop Building Frontage is suitable for
residential uses and service commercial or office
uses.
Landscape Frontage 1
Landscape Frontage 1 is low masonry or concrete
wall and overhanging trellis structure.
Landscape Frontage 2
Landscape Frontage 2 is an open framework wall
or fence of either metal, wood, masonry, or a
combination.
Landscape Frontage 3
A Landscape Building Frontage, as set out in Figure
16.24.070-4, is set back from the Build To Line
by a wide landscaped strip between the building
and the sidewalk. This frontage type is appropriate
along streets where the existing streetscape may
not be conducive to pedestrian-oriented ground
floor retail or residential, such as where there is no
on-street parking or where streets are very wide.
Ground floor entries must still be provided along
and connected to the sidewalk.

Guiding Principles and Illustrations for Signage
The purpose of Downtown Signage Standards is to
encourage the effective use of signs as a means of
communication and advertising in a manner that
reduces the negative effects of signs on safety and
aesthetics.
OVERALL DESIGN OF SIGNS –Signs
should relate well to buildings and enhance their
architectural features with careful attention to
detail, materials, size and location. Signs should
complement the desired character of the Subareas
and Street Edges, as well as the building and
landscape frontage type of the development.
Signs should be considered as an integral part of
the entire design of the site and the building and
should be well integrated with building elements
and site elements. While being oriented to an
audience moving quickly in an automobile, signs
should scaled and designed to relate well to people
who may be walking by or cycling. Signs should
be permanent in nature and convey a sense of
permanence for the uses they advertise.
LOCATION OF SIGNS – Signs should be
located where they enhance and contribute to
the desired character of the Subarea and Street
Edge, and where they are effectively integrated
and coordinated with the building and landscape
frontage type for the development. The location
of signs should be designed to consider the
cumulative effect of all signs on the site, and the
surrounding area or corridor, not just the effect of
the individual sign.
SIZE OF SIGNS – The size of signs should fit
with the desired character of the Subarea and Street
Edge, and the building and landscape frontage
type for the development. The size of signs should
be designed to consider the cumulative effect of
all signs on the site, and the surrounding area or
corridor, not just the effect of the individual sign.
The size of signs should be considered in relation
to the size of other signs in the vicinity, and not be
overly dominant.
MATERIAL, COLOR AND LIGHTING
OF SIGNS - The material and color of the
casing, framing, housing and background area
of the sign (the areas not directly covered by
letters or numbers) should be coordinated to be
complementary with material and color of the
buildings on the site where the sign is located.
The lighting for the sign should be designed to fit
with the lighting for the building and the desired
character of the Subarea and Street Edge.

The DDUDP identified a number of locations
for structured parking, in a combination of below
grade, above grade and stand-alone formations.
The DDUDP intended these to serve development
included within the same structure and or
neighboring sites. A significant amount of new
development was envisioned by the DDUDP to
include parking. The volume of parking envisioned
by the DDUDP may be realistic to serve
development which occurs in the near future. In
the longer term, however, vehicle sharing programs
and technology will change the way that people use
vehicles and city space devoted to parking cars will
become more valuable for other uses. Therefore,
structures used to store parked cars should be
designed to be adaptable, with adequate floor-to-
floor heights to accommodate future office and
residential uses.
Structured parking can have a significant negative
effect on the pedestrian environment. Regulating
where structured parking is located, how
concentrated it is, from which streets it is accessed
(and at which hours of the day), and how it is
designed can mitigate the negative effects. The
Guiding Principles in this Chapter are intended to
address parking garage design generally. Landscape
Frontage Types are intended to address perimeter
edge treatment of surface parking lots.
The recommended regulatory approach is intended
to mitigate the negative effects of large amounts of
parking (whether surface or structured), promote
management of parking supply and ensure that
parking structures can be adapted to more intensive
urban uses over time.
Guiding Principles for Structured Parking
»Design the structured parking for pedestrian
comfort, safety, access and ease of navigation;
make it a place. Every person who parks a car
in the garage is a pedestrian while downtown.
»Provide highly visible ground floor entry
oriented to people on foot.
»Provide a large open attractive entry with a
large open attractive stair leading to upper
levels.
»Take advantage of the ground floor entry area
to provide secure, well-lit and abundant bike
parking.
»Ground floors of structured parking are
good locations for pedestrian and bicyclist
amenities, such as food carts and bike hubs.
»Ensure that ground floor of structures can be
are adapted to serve retail or office uses in the
future.
»Include on-street, surface and structured
parking in the total inventory of city parking
supply; encourage shared parking and manage
parking as a shared resource.
»Create opportunities for creative reuse of
parking structures in off peak hours, by
designing rooftops as assembly spaces, for
example.
»Design structured parking as significant
architecture, not as background buildings;
employ lighting and art to add character and
enhance attractiveness.
»Include user-oriented signage and sensors to
indicate parking capacity.
Standards for Structured Parking
Parking structures shall meet the requirements of
one of the Permitted Building Frontage Types and

safety, access and ease of navigation

the requirements for the Façade Design for the

Street-facing frontages shall meet the requirements
of one of the permitted Building Frontage Types
and the requirements for the Façade Design for the
height of the podium along the entire length of its
frontage.
Standards for Exterior Lighting
Decorative and security lighting shall be designed
and finished in a manner consistent with the
architectural theme of the development and will
be provided to ensure a well-lit environment
for pedestrians, and to accentuate architectural
elements, roof tops and public art.
Exterior lighting shall be designed such that it has
no negative impact on adjacent sites.
Exterior lighting associated with the development
shall be designed such that light shines downwards
in order to avoid contributing to light pollution.

PARKING STRUCTURE means a building
or structure designed for the parking of motor
vehicles.
STRUCTURED PARKING SETBACK regulates
the setback of parking structures from all lot lines
or from the build-to line

Table of Contents, continued
This section provides principles, guidelines and
standards for Downtown urban open spaces (both
public and private), that were envisioned by the
DDUDP or will be permitted or required by the
new Downtown Standards. The four types of open
space that are described in the typology are:
»Plaza
»Square
»Pocket Park
»Forecourt
Plaza
A Plaza is an Open Space available for civic
purposes and commercial activities. A Plaza shall
be spatially defined by building frontages. Its
landscape shall consist primarily of pavement.
Plazas should be located at the intersection of
important streets. The minimum size shall be
20,000 square feet and the maximum shall be
90,000 square feet.
Example: Mill Plaza
Mill Plaza, located on the north side of Main Street
between Mill Street and Pioneer Parkway West, was
identified in a vision plan for Springfield as a future
site for an urban plaza. This plaza is envisioned as a
central gathering space and retail/employment hub
of Springfield’s downtown. It should be densely
developed along its perimeter, helping to create an
active edge that reinforces the plaza as a destination
spot and gathering area for the community. Mill
Plaza should have an urban character with a large

amount of hardscaping. Other characteristics
of this plaza include flexible programming that
accommodates both everyday uses as well as special
events, public art that creates a focal point, and a
retail pavilion with amenities such as restrooms,
bicycle parking and outdoor café seating. In
addition, the area should have street trees and other
landscaping that make it inviting while managing
stormwater on-site. Lighting and ample street
furniture help make a comfortable and safe place to
relax and socialize.
Square
A Square is an urban open space available for
unstructured recreation and civic purposes. It
is spatially defined by building frontages. Its
landscape shall consist of paths, lawns and trees,
and shall be located at the intersection of important
streets. The minimum size shall be 20,000 square
feet and the maximum shall be 90,000 square feet.
Example: Residential Square
Residential Squares have a more residential
character while still maintaining some urban
characteristics. Because of their size, they can
accommodate high-density housing on adjacent
blocks as well as serve residential neighborhoods.
They should be made up primarily of planted
areas, with lawn, trees and other landscaping as
the predominant features. They should have paved
walkways throughout that allow pedestrians and
cyclists easy access through and around it. Other
features of this park could include an assembly area
for community events (such as music in the park),
a fountain or other public art, play structures,
ample well-placed street furnishings such as
benches, waste receptacles and pedestrian-scaled
lighting.
Pocket Park
Pocket Parks are small-scale parks that have not
yet been located. They are a vital part of the future
network of public spaces in the city. Because they
are smaller in scale, and may only be the size of a
single lot, their programming is more focused and
their scale more intimate. They provide community
gathering space for people to socialize, exercise,
relax and play. They are primarily made up of
lawn, trees, and landscaping with paved pathways
throughout. While they share similar features to
the Post Office Park, what sets them apart is their
size. Street furnishings such as benches, waste
receptacles and lighting are essential to creating
a welcoming and safe space. Additionally, they
may have play structures or other small recreation
zones such as basketball courts skate parks or picnic
shelters. Though small, they can be vibrant and
essential assets to the community, used and valued
at all hours of the day and night.
Forecourt
Forecourts are located in the frontage zone of
the Urban Retail Building Frontage Type 2 (see
Section 4 Building and Landscape Frontage Types,
page 65). They are privately owned areas that
contribute to the public realm. They increase the
depth of the sidewalk, creating informal places to
spill onto. They may be the same paving material
as the sidewalk or might use a different paving to
characterize and distinguish the plaza as a separate
zone. These areas are largely hardscaped and serve
as ideal places for providing tables and chairs for
pedestrians to eat, socialize and linger. These small
plazas should have ample street furnishings such
as benches, bicycle parking and waste receptacles.
Forecourts may also have structured planted
areas and moveable furniture. They provide an
important amenity to pedestrians, particularly
along dense retail areas where there is a large
concentration of people dining, shopping and
socializing.
