Context-Based Regulations/Common Principles
Evaluate Existing/Desirable Development Patterns
• Key Dimensional, Design and Use Characteristics
• Building Placement and General Design Characteristics
• Existing Street “Livability” Characteristics
• Parking Demand, Distribution and Occupancy trends
• Potential Integration/Activation of Civic and Open Space
• Performance Standards for Desired Uses and Activities
Define and Translate Community Vision
• Visual (Image) Preference Surveys
• Public Visioning, Scenario Building, and Design Charrettes
• Strategic Conceptual/Illustrative Plan
Based on a Vision
Context-Based Regulations/Common Principles
Transect Based Planning, Design and Coding
Rural-Residential/Suburban Village Neighborhood Downtown
• Focus on existing or desired context and spacial patterns of development and the surrounding environment.
Context-Based Regulations/Common Principles
Supportive and Compatible Public-Private Relationships • Address the relationships between buildings and the “public realm” (such as streets, open spaces, and civic buildings and places).

CREATING AUTHENTIC PLACESPeople + Spaces
DEMOGRAPHIC WAVETwo converging generation are looking for similar urban neighborhood to call home. These places are desirable because of the walkable lifestyle they provide as well as the mix of use, diverse activities and unique amenities they possess.
By Steve Rhode
PLACEMAKINGPlacemaking is the process of uncovering a local community’s asssts, inspiration and potential, that ultimately can be focused on creating an authentic place that improves people’s lives, health and well being.
TACTICAL URBANISMTactical Urbanism is improving the livability of a place at the street, block, or building level using small scale, incremental improvements that set the stage for more substantial investments.

#tacticalurbanism
Short-Term Action || Long-term Change SNEAPA 2013
“The idea of the planned city as a knowable utopia is a chimera. Nevertheless, we continue to try to plan in the belief that the world will be a better place if we intervene to identify and solve issues that are widely regarded as problematic. But this must be tempered with an awareness of the limitations of planning, not least through an awareness of the evolutionary nature of urban change.”!
- Stephen Marshall

“...it is about getting it right for now and at the same time being tactical and strategic about later...and about disturbing the order of things in the interests of change.”!
