Redevelopment should be a mix of residential and commercial uses, with the commercial uses concentrated at the corner of line and Commerce, and transitioning to residential uses further from the intersection.

6 Considerations in eveloping ixed Use evelopment Character All ixed Use areas within ound will be encouraged to incorporate elements which create character and support a pedestrian-oriented environment. While each ixed Use area is distinct, there are common elements that are important to consider. The City will explore, as a follow-up to the Comprehensive Plan, identify how these design elements could be addressed through guidelines and/or regulations. Building Placement and Linkages Building esign Along major corridors buildings should be placed close to the street with adjacent buildings having similar setbacks. ulti-story buildings are encouraged to support redevelopment and to allow for additional for open space. Residential structures with individual entries should be setback from roadways to provide for a front yard area. A minimum amount of street frontage along major corridors should be occupied by building facades to provide a frame to the street and minimize long stretches of parking. Heights are generally expected to be multiple stories along major roadway corridors. Buildings with floors more than 3 stories should have upper stories step back from the street to provide an improved pedestrian experience on the sidewalk. Buildings should step down in height adjacent to residential neighborhoods and the lakefront. Street-facing entries are encouraged along major roadways and should be architecturally prominent and accessible from the street. Rear entries should be well-defined if there is rear-yard parking. Long facades should be divided into smaller increments by architectural elements, including variation in building materials, shift in facade depth, etc. Plazas and pockets of connected open space should be created to provide informal gathering areas. Pedestrian connections should be made to akota Rail Trail, Andrews Sisters Trail, Surfside, the transit ramp, and the Village Center. ulti story buildings should have ground floor elements that appeal to the pedestrian like awnings, windows, etc. Views and connections through developments to the lakes and to the downtown core should be preserved. Commercial and mixed use buildings should be built similarly close to the street Public plazas and pockets of open spaces should be linked through sidewalks/trails Residential structures with individual entries Entries should be architecturally predominant should be setback from major roadways with accesses along major streets raft for City Council Consideration - 10/13/2017 Facade articulation through multiple materials and setbacks creates visual interest Higher floors have greater setbacks, decreasing bulk Ground floor elements like awning, and windows important for multi-story buildings

7 Landscaping within and around development makes for pleasant movement throughout Facades have windows and doors at pedestrian level Bulkheads and other accents should include brick or stone Pedestrian and cyclist connections to features of the center city Pitched roofs with dormers and cupolas replicate ound s historical character Street facing facades should include wood lap siding Public areas have the opportunity for multiple ing should be screened and interior to functions the site Building aterials and Roofs ing and Landscaping A minimum amount of the building facade along the major roadway should be windows and doors. Where possible, parking should be located to the rear or side of buildings rather than in front. Wood lap siding, or comprarable products, should be used. Shared parking is encouraged between complementary land uses Bulkheads may have wood, brick, stone, or precast Structured parking with entrances on side streets encouraged Interconnected circulation within sites or blocks encouraged Screening with hedges, low walls, or decorative fencing should be used to separate parking and service areas from streets. inimize large expanses of parking through use of parking islands and creating smaller, scattered parking products Roofs recommended to have architecturally interesting compound hip and gable roofs with dormers, cupolas, etc. raft for City Council Consideration - 10/13/2017

11 IPLEENTATION FRAEWORK Project or Idea Generation Project or idea may come from the s and Open Space Commission, public, partners or Staff. It is recommended that the project or idea be outlined with information about why it is needed, who it will serve, vendors, costs and timing. Evaluation by Staff and s and Open Space Commission and City Council Evaluate project or idea against comprehensive plan goals, policies, and actions. Give consideration to the following potential decision principles: is a community unmet need being addressed? is a new recreational opportunity being provided? does it inspire community pride? does it increase awareness of history, culture and art? does it support healthy living? does it improve connectivity? how does it impact the surrounding neighborhood and what can be done to mitigate those impacts? how does it impact the enviornment and what can be done to mitigate those impacts? is there adeuqate funding for long-term maintainence and operational costs? could it be a catalyst for private sector investment? could it be served by partnershops? how does it fit into the City s capital improvement program? COUNCIL ACTION: authorize Staff to proceed with next step - which may include further project planning, inclusion of funding in an upcoming budget, and/or preparation of construction documents 1. esign park improvements to provide environmental and aesthetic benefits by developing planting plans that use native plants and sensitively integrating recreational facilities into the natural environment of the site. 2. Coordinate the expenditure of local funds for park, open space and recreation facilities with the provision and development of other municipal services. Actions The City of ound has established a diverse park, open space and recreation system plan that will provide a variety of recreational opportunities to meet residents needs. The following recommended actions are intended to build upon the existing system so that the community is in a position to meet the needs of all residents in the year Annually update the Capital Improvement Plan for parks, recreation, and open space ensuring that continued funding is available to meet the community s needs, including staffing, programming, new amenities and maintenance. 2. Create and implement a maintenance and replacement schedule to plan for phased replacement of neighborhood and pocket park facilities (i.e. playgrounds, courts, etc.). Provide an opportunity for neighborhood input on replacement projects. 3. Add user amenities to parks to respond to evolving public need. 4. Establish, and implement as opportunities arise, a uniform park signage and branding system for ound s park, open space and recreation system. 5. Conduct a aster Plan for Surfside. 6. Consider an off-leash dog area where there is usable, underutilized open space that has an adequate buffer from adjacent residential properties. 7. Explore the development of a few disc golf holes in a location where there is underutilized open space and users will not impact high quality natural areas. 8. Explore opportunities, including partnerships, for a community garden. Seek locations where there is usable, underutilized open space where water for irrigation can be available. 9. Conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the potential of a trail to link owntown ound to Surfside along the west side of Lost. 10. Identify and sell extra city-owned parcels and tax forfeiture parcels that are too small for park facilities, do not have significant natural areas, and do not serve as an access point to city utilities or other functions. 11. Periodically review and update the City s park dedication policy and ordinances to meet current state standards and respond to the market. 12. evelop a tree preference list and educational materials to support the diversification of the tree canopy. raft for City Council Consideration - 10/13/2017
