Public Open Space/Park in Bonus Density Area

Bonus Height Area Workshop feedback: A meaningful and centrally- located open space is a critical component missing from today’s CBC.

“Active open spaces are proven to deliver an excellent return on investment, often supplying far more benefits than they cost to construct. These benefits accrue to private development while effectively strengthening communities and opening opportunities for all.” Elizabeth Shreeve Principal, SWA Group; chair, ULI Sustainable Development Council The Case of Open Space: Why the Real Estate Industry Should Invest in Parks and Open Spaces . Urban Land Institute, 2018.

Proposed Plan Language Park/Open Space for Bonus Area Public Open Space/Park – A minimum 2/3-acre public open space or park should be provided. This space is envisioned as a public civic plaza, common green, or hybrid type. The space should have the following core components: • Should be welcoming, visible from the public realm, and accessible for park users of all ages and abilities; • Should have connections to surrounding pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, with access supported by wayfinding signage; • Provide a variety of seating options and shade elements; • Include an area designed for community gatherings such as farmer’s market, art exhibitions, festivals, concerts, and other events; • Place(s) for unscheduled uses such as unstructured play should be included; and • Include focal points, which may include but are not limited to water features and public art. • Include activity elements for park users to engage in physical or social activity which may include but are not limited to shaded seating areas, gardens, amphitheaters, areas for unstructured play, and fitness courses.

Conceptual Street Cross-Sections

Old Dominion Drive Chain Bridge Road Beverly Road Elm Street

Old Dominion Drive Ultimate (after moving curbs in) Interim (before moving curbs in) 8’ Shared Walkway incl. Incl. 1’ VDOT buffer Note 1: Typical street cross sections are depicted. Although dimensions are noted, final street design will require accommodation of all applicable road design infrastructure. Additionally, final street designs may vary as necessary to address other design and engineering goals and requirements. Note 2: VDOT requires a 1-foot maintenance buffer at the back of the sidewalk or shared use path on the edge of the right-of-way. Note 3: Not to Scale.
