Who are the users we want in this center? <br />Should the concept follow? Integrate three concepts into one place, be blendable, fluid. The project <br />must have" connectivity" . <br /> <br />The fire and public works facilities may be more industrial in nature, may not fit in accounting <br />center. <br /> <br />Are there" special needs" facilities that could be included? <br />Parking should be considered an integral part of each concept. <br /> <br />Residential characteristics of the center may include: <br /> <br />. do transit and residential uses work together? <br />. could a transit site go on mobile home site? <br />. does transit site include more density surrounding it? <br />. encourage housing within Comprehensive Plan (guide it) <br />. how could the city connect uses across transit lines? <br />. does there need to be a better government center connection to Central Park? <br />. design an interconnected campus site. <br /> <br />All three concepts included the three primary uses but had different emphasis. For example, the <br />Parkway concept has wide green spaces and pedestrian activity along Lexington Parkway and <br />County Road C. Approximately 1000 parking spaces, in a ramp, would be needed to serve the <br />expanded government and recreation centers. The new uses are oriented to the parkways; the <br />parking spaces are behind the new uses. From the northwest corner of Lexington and County <br />Road C a winter garden faces Central Park. The recreation center extends from the current <br />skating center south to County Road. The government center remains at the corner of <br />Lexington and C. <br /> <br />15 <br />
