<br />Twin Lakes Design Checklists - DRAFT
<br />ESTABLISHING A STRONG PUBLIC REALM: A list of Urban Design Principles to ensure
<br />Livability, Walkability and Sustainability. Revised: December 19, 2002
<br />
<br />WHAT IS THE URBAN TO SUBURBAN PATTERN?
<br />
<br />The urban to suburban pattem works well at the scale of the Neighborhood (or the
<br />District).
<br />
<br />The transfonnation in how development and open space becomes more compact happens
<br />in part or in whole from the center of the neighborhood to the edge over several different
<br />degrees of sophistication described as:
<br />. Urban core,
<br />. Neighborhood centers,
<br />. Neighborhood general areas.
<br />. Suburban areas.
<br />
<br />Each degree has a set of design principles that take place in arrangements unique to the
<br />site and its location in the gradation from urban to suburban.
<br />
<br />For instance, shopping can take place in a large department store in core districts, in
<br />markets or storefronts in neighborhood centers - or in comer stores in neighborhood
<br />general areas. In less compact, more automobile dependent suburban areas. shopping
<br />occurs at regional malls and shopping centers - or via mai I, phone and intemet from
<br />homes.
<br />
<br />This pallem repeats itself within the many neighborhoods and districts of a city.
<br />Complete neighborhoods or districts generally are made up at least three of the four
<br />typical urban zones - yet they are all within walking distance of each other. It is feasible
<br />to have limited suburban residential areas connected to urban districts, but it is not
<br />acceptable to have predominantly or exclusively suburban "Big Box" commercial areas
<br />connected to neighborhoods, as they generally obliterate walkability due to their scale.
<br />There is also limited automobile,scaled commercial development appropriate along
<br />commercial corridors, but this development will be limited and provide pedestrian access
<br />to adjoining residential areas.
