Carlisle Street Supermarket Precinct Design ... - City of Port Phillip

Carlisle Street Supermarket Precinct Design Guidelines | June 2011| Version 3
5A
CAMDEN STREET
VISION
Camden Street will be transformed into a high quality
streetscape that is activated by new retail frontages
and continuous pedestrian shelter. While pedestrian
and vehicle traffic will need to share the public
domain, it will be a traffic calmed environment and
place that fosters slow speeds. The street will also
develop as a ‘green’ streetscape that includes
extensive canopy and low level landscaping, new
paving, water sensitive urban design treatments and
street furniture.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are suggested minimum
standards that will assist in achieving Council’s vision:
Use
• Locate car parking and servicing below ground
level
• Locate major/specialty retail on the ground floor
• Locate commercial, residential and
complementary activities on upper levels
• Orientate units above ground level to promote
passive surveillance
Form
• Scale and setbacks of buildings to comply with
proposed DDO controls (refer to street section)
• Establish active frontages (i.e. shopfronts, entries,
glazing) to at least 50% of the streetscape width
• Facades to incorporate awnings and canopies
• Demarcate building entries by incorporating
interesting architectural features
• Utilise sun screens etc to control sunlight and
wind
Movement
• Reinstate laneway to the rear of Carlisle Street
to connect through to Camden Street
• Reduce through traffic to the residential section
of Camden Street to the north of Alfred Street
• Retain existing 3 tonne vehicle ban from Alfred
Street to Inkerman Street
• Investigate traffic improvements (i.e. signals) at
Camden and Carlisle Street intersection
• Explore long term opportunities for new linkage
from Chapel Street to Camden Street
Public Realm
• Delineate a shared zone by paving treatments
• Incorporate extensive canopy planting (in line
with CoPP WSUD guidelines and Greening Port
Phillip Strategy)
• Establish and install a consistent suite of street
furniture that complements the Precinct and the
broader Carlisle Street corridor
