Info

6 The guidelines generally address activities and relationships and how to create a setting that supports them. It is recognized that there are many ways to meet any one of the guidelines. This is why we have included a statement of intent for each set of guidelines. If the guidelines don’t address a design issue’s particular circumstances, the applicant should consult the “intent” paragraph for guidance. Goals for Cherry Creek North Design The basic goals of the Cherry Creek North District Design guidelines are to promote development that is in keeping with the existing character, scale, and ambience of the District; to encourage the architectural design solutions that are interesting and attractive; and to promote pedestrian and shopping activities, particularly at street level. Building designs are sought that are easy to read in terms of understanding the activities they house and also temper the climate in favor of the pedestrian. These guidelines seek to maximize the streetside conditions that promote window shopping, exploration, and strolls for the pleasure of it; and they seek to minimize the gap in the shopping experience caused by parking lots, parking structures, office buildings, vacant land, and blank walls. Cherry Creek North should be a place where the pedestrian feels welcomed and comfortable. It is a retail / restaurant / entertainment experience first and foremost. CHERRY CREEK NORTH These goals are reflected in the guidelines on buildings, parking, plazas, signs, and streetscape that follow. The objectives of these guidelines are to: ◗ Promote continuity of retail uses along streets in the district. ◗ Encourage new infill development that will generate pedestrian activity. ◗ Encourage a variety of architectural styles. ◗ Encourage relatively small scale of development. ◗ Encourage landscaping and other architectural devices to screen parking uses next to pedestrian paths. ◗ Encourage development in keeping with the architectural style, arrangement, texture, and materials used on existing structures in the area. ◗ Encourage signs that fit the character of the district and do not detract or overpower the architecture. ◗ Provide for a pleasant, rich, and diverse pedestrian experience.
