27 Context: Asset Mapping

28 Planning Concepts

29 4 Concept Maps for Discussion Land Use Recreation and Open Space Priority Zones Circulation Building Scale working together to form the basis of the India Basin Plan

30 Map #1: Land Use Concept Key Elements Create a neighborhood, destination and sense of place Take advantage of the location emphasize the shoreline and India Basin s unique qualities Ensure flexibility and focus on form Emphasize creative land uses think outside of the box in terms of uses, and mix

32 Emerging Technologies Employment District Land Uses: Innovative Job Center Conference Center, Visitor Attraction, Hotel Retail to complement employment uses Open Space and Rec. activities

33 Emerging Technologies Employment District

34 Hillside Hillside Transition Transition District District Land Uses: Residential Neighborhood services, retail and/or office Open space and rec. uses Passive Community garden Interpretive center

35 Hillside Transition District

36 Maritime Neighborhood Center District Land Uses: Neighborhood-serving retail/residential above Recreation and shoreline activities Cultural/community serving use Arts and limited light industry

43 Map #2: Recreation & Open Space Priority Zones Overlay to the land use concept Open space is an important aspect of each district each contains a priority zone Specific location, acquisition strategy, and programming will be determined through plan implementation

44

45 Map #3: Circulation Concept - Principles Promote walkability, access, and connections to the shoreline. Create connections within India Basin, and to adjacent neighborhoods and amenities. Improve existing rights-of-way Focus on key intersection improvements Conceptual ideas to spur discussion

46

47 Map #4: Building Scale Concept - Principles Building heights should step down towards the water to protect public views of the water and encourage shoreline access; Heights should be varied to avoid monolithic walls of development Taller buildings can be located at strategic locations, to help create visual and physical focus within India Basin.
