Info

Varied projections from the buildings such as balconies, covered entrances, awnings, and arcades will be utilized to articulate increased interest within each storefront. Massing will be articulated through variations of slope, to decrease the image of the “big box.” If mechanical equipment is to be placed on the rooftop, a parapet wall must be tall enough to cover from all angles. The parapet walls shall be ornamented featuring a cornice treatment. These components must be seamlessly incorporated into building design, not simply an afterthought. The commercial elements of the buildings will be oriented to the street and match the setbacks required (in this case, the sidewalks, ranging from street to street, will serve as the setbacks). The majority of parking will be located underground, or in the back of the developed site, to decrease automobile activity and welcome more pedestrian-friendly activity. Land Use Details Table 3.3 below provides square footage information for various land uses within the Roosevelt Boulevard/Wilson Boulevard site. The site plan consists of four sections, as follows in Table 3.4 and described in further detail on the following pages: Table 3.3 Proposed Square Feet of Residential, Commercial, and Office Development Use Type Building Area (sq. ft) Percent Residential 820,541 39.54% Retail 371,873 17.92% Office 882,710 42.54%
