1 VICTORIA DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING A Vision & Guide for the Future Downtown Victoria thrives as a center for the community, offering a great mix of entertainment, culture, business, and recreational amenities to residents and visitors alike. Its unique character and growing population puts the downtown area in a unique position to enhance what s there and guide the budding development potential currently seen. Based on previous planning efforts conducted by the city including the city s comprehensive plan and recently-completed strategic plan a vision and related guiding principles have been defined for Downtown Victoria. The planning process for Downtown Victoria began with study of existing development patterns, development issues/limitations, and identification of how new development can best fit the City s desired vision for downtown Victoria. The plan looks at how the downtown core and an area to the west of downtown can be integrated with a supportive development character, a sustainable/successful mix of uses, a strong foundation of infrastructure and open space networks, and an exciting and appealing pedestrian environment. See inside for details. Enhance Victoria s downtown offering entertainment, culture, businesses, & recreational uses creating a vibrant energetic, pedestrianfriendly destination. STUDY AREA WINTER 2016

2 ILLUSTRATIVE VISION & GUIDING PRINCIPLES Downtown is envisioned as a place to work, play, and shop first and foremost. However, it is recognized that sustaining a vibrant and attractive commercial downtown is strengthened with higher density residential uses. The mix of land uses illustrated on this diagram reflect the desire to blend the existing downtown character with new growth to the west. Over time, a pedestrian friendly, commercial character along is desired. development should be designed and situated to support a strong pedestrian environment and contiguous commercial-like presence along the street level with the ability to enable conversion to commercial spaces oriented to the street Create better physical & visual connections with Carver Park Reserve & Stieger Lake. Identify welcoming gateways into downtown area. County Road 11 WEST SIDE DEVELOPMENT AREA Stieger Lake Bayfront Park & Amphitheater City Hall Build on the strong character for downtown that establishes it as a destination & provides a sense of place. Establish strong physical & visual connections between west side & downtown.

Gregory Acres Dairy Queen Acres City A 1.94 Acres City City B 2.9 Acres Medium Density High Density Commercial/Retail Office Land Use Expectations 400 Feet City C 3.4 Acres Right of Way 2.8 Acres Outlot Acres RESIDENTIAL only uses should be limited within the downtown and should be located incrementally and in strategic locations where opportunities to support established or planned commercial activity centers exist. Existing single family uses should be phased out as redevelopment opportunities present themselves. uses should be designed with consideration given to how street level units might be converted to commercial or live/work spaces as the market for such uses matures over time. COMMERCIAL Commercial uses are intended to dominate the district and activate the street. Commercial uses in this district should be reserved primarily for retail and support services, targeting individual businesses that are approximately 20,000 square feet or less. The types of businesses locating in this district are desired to provide goods or services that generate foot traffic on 30 to 45 minute intervals. City D 2 Acres Boyer Acres Right of Way 2 Acres Outlot Acres Spread Ent Acres T. Gregory Acres Schmidt Acres MIXED USE Mixed use buildings are intended to incorporate two or more uses within the same building. This may include retail on first floor with office uses on upper floor(s). Mixed use may also include a high residential presence, predominantly in upper floors, with commercial uses on the first floor. Mixed use sites identified in the master plan that are proposed for development with a mix of commercial and residential should seek to include a minimum of 10% of the gross building floor area in commercial use(s). Mixed use buildings should follow verti-cal transition (first floor to top floor) in land use with the hierarchy of: 1. Retail/ Services 2. Office 3. Units COMMERCIAL + RETAIL/OFFICE 1 STORY MIXED USE + COMMERCIAL 2 STORY MIXED USE + COMMERCIAL 3 STORY MIXED USE + RESIDENTIAL 3 STORIES +

4 WEST SIDE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT County Road Architectural Design Guidelines SCALE AND MASS Structures along street frontages should maintain a modest scale appearance of storefronts of multiple tenants at least every 30 feet. Width should not exceed 20 feet without articulation to break building into smaller portions. Individual buildings should provide a variation in height, profile, or roof form. Scaling elements are encouraged, including belt or soldier courses, headers, reveals, recesses, pilasters, diversity in material profiles, window mullions, canopies or awnings, floor or roof overhangs MATERIAL PALETTE Images displayed within this vision plan document are indicative of the types of materials, finishes, and textures desired in downtown Victoria. Selected exterior building materials should be of similar quality to the displayed images and hold an expected life span of at least 30 years. For specific design requirements, refer to the adopted architectural standards for the Central Business District. FORM AND FACADE Avoid continuous expanses of a wall without a variation in height, depth, or texture Multi-story buildings should be designed to make the ground floor the most prominent Utilize building step-backs to maintain a consistent sense of scale Facade features to accent storefront appearance are encouraged, including recessed or accentuated doorways, display windows, and transoms. Facade openings (windows and doors) should comprise at least 60% of the ground floor SITE DESIGN GUIDELINES Buildings should be placed to occupy the street edge to the greatest degree possible. Buildings with two or more street frontages should be placed to maximize presence on the corner(s). Side yards to be minimized to create a continuous wall of buildings unless providing improved pedestrian corridors.

A balanced approach to land uses that have different peak parking demands and good design of parking (location and access) is critical to accommodating parking demand. Based on the existing land uses in 2015 and their peak parking demand characteristics, it is estimated that parking demand exceeds the total parking supply by 250 to 400 stalls. Adding new parking to downtown Victoria comes at a cost; with average construction costs approximately $1,000 for on-street stalls, $3,000 for surface lot stalls, and $19,000 for structured stalls. While surface parking lots are inexpensive to construct, they take away critical mass from potential development. Inversely, the costs associated with structured stalls are potentially offset by the fact that development can be incorporated either above or below the parking lot levels. Victoria s existing parking stalls are available to the general public at minimal cost. Ongoing operations and maintenance costs for parking stalls is generally equal to 10% of their construction costs, however the City currently covers these costs out of its general fund. A district shared parking approach is recommended. Key characteristics of district shared parking include: Municipal surface lots located in strategic locations with long term ability to be decked for additional capacity Strong wayfinding system and pedestrian courtyards/alleys (welllit and with active uses along them) to connect pedestrians to parking areas. District financing strategy to build deck structures (capital costs) and to providing ongoing resources for maintenance and replacement costs (lifecyle costs) Use of on street parking to serve short duration trip needs and overflow parking for civic events Land use and zoning strategies that facilitate a balanced/mixed land use pattern that maximizes shared parking opportunities Shared buy in to the concept from all property and business owners who benefit from a shared parking strategy
