COMMUNITY DESIGN/APPEARANCE & SPECIAL PLACES FINDINGS Based on review of previous relevant plans/studies and our own observations from field inventory work around the community, the following findings are helping to frame our approach to and thinking on the Community Design/Appearance and Unique Community Assets elements of the draft Community Character chapter: ► Various action recommendations of previous plans'have not yet been accomplished and remain ongoing challenges and opportunities (e.g.,live oaks along Texas Avenue and Wellborn Road, "gateway portals" at major community entrances, special treatment of Texas Avenue-University Drive and other major intersections, more extensive Greenways Master Plan implementation,University Drive calming with TxDOT and TAMU). What are some reasons for this beyond just money/resources? ► State Highway 6 south of College Station is the path that brings many visitors into College Station,especially from the Houston metropolitan area.Unfortunately, the City has little,if any, control over the quality and appearance of scattered roadside development that occurs many miles into the ETJ and beyond.Yet,this visual experience is how visitors begin to form an impression of the community long before they actually reach it.Therefore,efforts to establish "significant gateways" and welcoming points can easily get lost in this environment. On the other hand, a notable stretch of SH 6 in the vicinity of Peach Creek Road-FM 159 still has practically no frontage development and remains an attractive corridor setting framed by trees.This offers a tremendous community entry opportunity that could be lost relatively soon if ongoing improvement of SH 6 to a full freeway cross section in this area quickly induces extensive land development activity. ► The public rights-of-way and overpasses associated with Earl Rudder Freeway (SH 6 bypass) are under-utilized for promoting community identity and image. ► The combination of a much wider Texas Avenue—College Station's signature corridor—and extensive surface parking along the frontages of various abutting private development sites is resulting in"gray spaces" dominating the scene,in places, rather than"green spaces." ► College Station lacks a formal,prominent wayfinding system,which can also be a unifying factor and consistent design element city-wide. ► Notable design and community enhancement successes from recent years include: - Enhanced community entry along University Drive, from Earl Rudder Freeway, through a combination of public streetscape and private development standards. Urban Design section of 1997 Comprehensive Plan,Northgate Redevelopment Plan,Wolf Pen Creek Plan,Greenways Master Plan,Streetscape Plan. rte, Community Design/Appearance &Special Places - Ongoing Northgate revitalization(entertainment, shops and restaurants,higher- density residential development, transit access,pedestrian environment). - Community benefit from enhanced design and quality building projects along perimeter of Texas A&M University campus, particularly along University Drive (including new mid-rise buildings, parking garage, TAMU Research Park). - Commercial centers redeveloped to a higher standard in terms of building treatments, landscaping along site perimeters and within parking areas, etc. - Continued installation of attractive neighborhood entries and identity elements as part of new subdivisions. - The Wolf Pen Creek District, in terms of the preserved natural creek corridor and recreational aspects plus the public amenities (e.g., amphitheater) and complementary private development occurring within the area. - Level of design quality and preserved vegetation achieved in the Business Center at College Station. - Design quality of recent City facilities (e.g.,new fire stations). - Recent development along University Drive (across from Hilton Hotel) with restaurant cluster focused around major water feature. - Examples within recent subdivisions of enhanced drainage detention facilities to make them neighborhood amenities. - Attractive outcomes through master-planned developments (e.g., Crescent Pointe). - Various examples of enhanced design in recent multi-family developments. - Preserved vegetation in wide median of new southwest segment of William D. Fitch Parkway, and median enhancements on Greens Prairie boulevard segment east of SH 6. GUIDING PRINCIPLES The following set of guiding principles is proposed for refining goals and potential action strategies related to community design/appearance and special places: ► A common identity visible throughout the city. ► Incorporation of the natural environment. ► Enhanced character of special places. ► Focused investment in strategic locations. ► Walkability as an obvious and attractive alternative. DRAFT-03/25/08 Page 2 of 9 Community Design/Appearance &Special Places A COMMON IDENTITY visible throughout the city. Physically,College Station's sense of community derives primarily from its neighborhoods and overall focus as the home of Texas A&M University. A"brand" should be established and creatively carried out throughout College Station. Branding should be unique to the community and should relate to the history, culture and/or vision for the city. Related Community-Defined Goals and Policies ► Develop and maintain, through regular review, a land use plan that identifies, establishes and enhances community character. ► College Station should have a combination of plans and implementing regulations which provide a clear basis for evaluating the appropriateness and compatibility of individual developments and their particular intensities and impacts within the context of the overall community and the immediate vicinity. (Policy CC-2.3) ► College Station should ensure that its development regulations and standards are based on prioritization of those design elements which are considered most significant in establishing local image and protecting community aesthetics,while allowing for and encouraging creativity in design. (Policy CC-3.2) Opportunities ► A city-wide wayfinding system that directs visitors to amenities and destinations in College Station, as well as public parking and other features. Wayfinding serves a secondary function of building/reinforcing pride in College Station and its unique amenities. ► Entryway treatments into College Station that occur much earlier on, and in a manner that is clearly visible and context appropriate. ► "Reminders"in select locations such as artwork/designwork applied to overpasses, large open spaces within rights-of-way, or at the junction of key corridors. Reminders can range from landscaping to public art. ► Signage, street furniture, street trees, lighting and other features of the streetscape that complement branding efforts, with priority given to strategic automobile and pedestrian routes. ► Enhanced bus shelters in place of basic bus stops along key corridors, designed to complement branding efforts and offer a comfortable, marketable alternative to automobile use. DRAFT—03/25/08 Page 3 of 9 Community Design/Appearance &Special Places 0.4 ► Strategic and flexible application of identity treatments to complement-rather ',. than overpower-design strategies for neighborhoods, districts or corridors with their own distinct themes. Incorporation of the NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. Natural, ungroomed areas are visible in many parts of College Station and are currently one of the more attractive features relatively common throughout the community. Blending natural spaces into development, streetscapes,parks and open spaces, and other public places instantly and positively adds to quality of life and community image. It is also a cost-effective means of branding the community. Related Community-Defined Goals and Policies ► Promote public and private development and design practices that encourage resource conservation and protection. ► Preserve or enhance greenways, park linkages, and open spaces for their intrinsic and functional value. ► College Station should establish character-and performance-based development regulations that more directly and effectively address ecological objectives through clear standards for development and resource protection. (Policy CC-4.1) I. College Station should promote conservation design and other"low impact" development practices increasingly used across the nation and internationally. (Policy CC-4.3) ► College Station should encourage "green" architecture, site design, and building practices-subject to appropriate design standards-particularly by documenting and promoting the cost-saving efficiencies and environmental benefits of such methods. (Policy CC-4.4) ► College Station should look for opportunities to collaborate with private land owners and developers to plan and execute master-planned developments which gain value from a high degree of resource protection accomplished through coordinated land acquisition, creative infrastructure design, and other public/private cooperation. (Policy CC-4.5) ► College Station should coordinate with the City of Bryan,Brazos County and other public and private partners to pursue significant land acquisitions targeted toward the most pristine and valued resource areas,whether for basic protection from development pressure, to contribute to natural storm water retention, or to add to the area's greenways inventory. (Policy CC-4.6) ► College Station should link its ecological and aesthetic priorities by exploring opportunities to preserve open space and other natural amenities at community gateways and along key corridors approaching the city. (Policy CC-4.7) DRAFT—03/25/08 Page 4 of 9 Community Design/Appearance &Special Places Opportunities ► Inclusion of natural vegetation in streetscapes, when possible and appropriate, particularly in "parkway"design. ► Creative preservation of existing natural vegetation on private and public sites, with particular effort to maintain vegetation along street frontages. ► Strategic clustering and connection of natural areas to extend and reinforce their impact as a branding tool. ► Minimized decorative landscaping when natural vegetation could be equally or more appropriate. ► Incorporation of open and natural space requirements and incentives into development codes. Enhanced character of SPECIAL PLACES. While it is important to establish a recognizable,overall visual identity for College Station,it is equally important to transform subdivisions, commercial centers, corridor commercial strips, and other areas into a series of"special places": neighborhoods, districts and corridors.Design can play a major role in establishing a sense of place, particularly once appropriate urban form is in place,by providing the details that create interest, add uniqueness, and enhance desired themes. Related Community-Defined Goals and Policies ► Identify,protect, and enhance unique community assets in our natural and built environment. ► Promote public and private development and design practices that ensure distinct corridors,neighborhoods, and districts. ► Establish and protect distinct boundaries between various character areas. ► The Future Land Use Plan should be used to ensure that new development and redevelopment proceeds in a manner that protects and is compatible with the established character of existing developed areas and neighborhoods—or contributes to a desired new character for an area. (Policy CC-1.4) ► Public and private development practices and outcomes which bolster the special character of individual neighborhoods, areas, and corridors in College Station, as well as the overall character of the community. (Goal CC-2) ► College Station should establish a philosophy and approach for managing development/redevelopment activity which emphasizes protection and enhancement of neighborhood and community character, as well as rural character at the fringe of the city and beyond. (Policy CC-2.1) DRAFT—03/25/08 Page 5 of 9 Community Design/Appearance &Special Places ► College Station should adopt and maintain development regulations and standardsartoftIN which ensure that newly-developed areas include physical features and a level of design quality that establishes an identifiable character for the long term. (Policy CC- 2.2) ► College Station should continue to plan for a variety of desired character areas which respond to the varied interests of a diverse population, such as more urban living arrangements and atmospheres, mixed-used developments that encourage walking and open-air experiences, development districts that are well integrated with their physical surroundings, and areas where a more rural character is to be maintained for the long term. (Policy CC-2.4) ► College Station should design and construct public buildings, facilities and improvements which reflect the character of their surroundings,blend well into existing neighborhoods and districts, and help to establish an identity and quality standard for newly-developing areas of the city. (Policy CC-2.5) ► Creation, designation and protection of areas within College Station where distinctive development styles, well-planned mixing of uses, or a unique atmosphere or natural setting establish a special "sense of place" and contribute to economic vitality, quality of life, and community pride. (GOAL UCA-1) ► College Station should continue to complete, update and implement targeted plans for designated special districts, corridors, and gateway locations, particularly to clarify special features that contribute to their existing character and/or a unique setting within the community. (Policy UCA-1.1) ► College Station should establish guidance and direction for ongoing refinement of special district management strategies and administrative structure. (Policy UCA- 1.6) Opportunities ► Building upon existing and developing community "places", such as Northgate, the Wolf Pen Creek district, the Texas A&M campus area, the Business Center at College Station, the emerging medical campus area on south SH 6, and the potential City Center initiative. ► Design approaches for new and redeveloping buildings and spaces that considers and reflects the context of the surrounding area, including the built and natural environments,particularly within a given neighborhood, district or corridor. ► Creation of a variety of additional "gathering places"throughout College Station, including parks,plazas,pedestrian-friendly streets, and other amenity locations. ► Promotion of eco friendly and location-appropriate design of structures and spaces. DRAFT-03/25/08 Page 6 of 9 Community Design/Appearance &Special Places ► Application of design standards that are appropriate to the design speed of the targeted audience (i.e.,finely detailed architectural requirements are seen and enjoyed by the walking public, but they are lost to those traveling 35 miles per hour). ► Continued use of high-quality monument signage and entry treatments to delineate residential neighborhoods and subdivisions, as well as other places throughout College Station. FOCUSED INVESTMENT in strategic locations. All too often,urban design efforts are attempted at a large scale.The result is frequently insufficient and does not provide opportunities for contributions from other potential design partners.Urban design is most successful when it helps to build momentum and community/investor support through strategic use of public investments. Related Community-Defined Goals and Policies ► Focus community enhancement activities to promote a strong community character. ► Align public investments with planned growth and development pattern. ► In coordination with other agencies which oversee corridor planning and improvements,College Station should require "context sensitive design" approaches in all major corridor construction and rehabilitation projects. (Policy UCA-2.2) ► College Station should promote and accommodate public art installations in appropriate,high-profile locations and as a"value added" component of public infrastructure and improvement projects. (Policy CC-3.4) Opportunities ► Improving critical locations that will have the greatest degree of community influence and impact. ► Leveraging resources and coordinating improvements with TxDOT, Texas A&M, the City of Bryan, College Station ISD, businesses,foundations,private investors/developers, and other potential design partners. ► Use of density bonuses or other incentive methods, when appropriate, rather than financial incentives to entice improved design in private projects. ► Strategic application of financial districts and other administrative mechanisms for planning and initiating improvements (such as Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones and Municipal Management Districts). DRAFT—03/25/08 Page 7 of 9 Community Design/Appearance&Special Places WALKABILITY as an obvious and attractive alternative. The automobile is the predominant form of transportation in College Station, as in many other communities, and it will remain so. However,beyond accessibility, efforts to improve traffic flow offer very little marketable value. On the other hand, pedestrian improvements, even when not actively used, offer tremendous marketing value. When used, they also provide an expanded and more reliable market for businesses. To be marketable,pedestrian opportunities must be obvious, well designed and justifiable (i.e., a poorly designed sidewalk or crosswalk says as much about the community's disregard for pedestrian activity as a well-designed, well-used system speaks to how much a community "cares about residents and visitors"). Related Community-Defined Goals and Policies ► College Station should provide for safe, convenient walking by youth and adults— especially between their homes and schools,parks and other neighborhood and community destinations—by focusing on the continuity, extension and sound maintenance of the community's sidewalk system, as well as other pedestrian pathways. (Policy T-1.5) ► College Station should focus on intersection design and operational management measures at busy intersections to accommodate safe crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists. (Policy T-1.6) ► All aspects of mobility planning—multi-modal access,safety, effective parking provision, etc.—should be brought to bear in support of targeted revitalization areas, especially to encourage redevelopment of pedestrian-oriented shopping and entertainment venues. (Policy T-3.4) Opportunities ► Equal and/or greater attention to pedestrian space and amenities relative to that given to automobile travel. ► Pedestrian space that is context sensitive and appropriate to its purpose (i.e., trails and sidewalks in suburban or rural areas offer a context different from pedestrian improvements in Northgate). ► Consideration of pedestrian opportunities in the transitions between uses and places.For example, quality pedestrian connections between commercial centers and nearby neighborhoods establish a desirable relationship between places. ► Particular attention to pedestrian space at points of interaction with automobile traffic.Intersection and midpoint crosswalks should be logically located. They should also be obviously safe and visually appealing. When possible, crosswalk amenities (i.e.,pavers,flashers, timed signals, bulbouts, etc.) should complement the brand for the community and/or place. rt� DRAFT—03/25/08 Page 8 of 9 Community Design/Appearance &Special Places ► Design of high-volume sidewalks (10'rather than 4-5') at critical intersections and major paths throughout the community based upon anticipated/desired foot traffic.
