progresses with the code development as outlined in the Land Use Code and Zone <br />Changes section. <br />Development Standards <br />In addition to density and height standards, the study team contemplated lot area, <br />maximum coverage, setbacks, building length, open space and parking standards for <br />each zoning code. These standards, as well as a standard for building scale and form <br />were also contemplated for each allowable housing type. <br />Design Standards <br />Draft design standards were proposed to help shape the urban form in a manner that is <br />consistent with the community's feedback on building typology. Site design criteria could <br />include building Iocation/pIacement, site access, parking, frontage character, utilities, <br />landscaping and standards for large sites and flag lots. Building design criteria were also <br />considered, which could include building mass, transitions to adjacent properties, <br />connections and transitions to the Willamette Greenway, building articulation, fenestration, <br />ground floor design, useable open space, and design standards for parking garages and <br />structures. <br />MULTIMODAL RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The study team conducted an assessment of the study area including a review of posted <br />speed, traffic volume, estimated shoulder widths, presence of pedestrian or bicycle <br />facilities, and other notable attributes, such as the presence of a bus route or school. The <br />goal of the assessment was to identify opportunities to increase comfort and safety for <br />people walking and cycling. Recommendations were developed for key side streets, within <br />corridor neighborhoods, east -west connections from River Road to the Willamette River, <br />and connections to/from the proposed Neighborhood Centers. Speed management <br />techniques were also discussed as an important component of designing safe and <br />comfortable walking and biking facilities. <br />The study team also worked with the TAC and CAC to identify existing multimodal <br />facilities and planned projects within the River Road corridor study area. This information <br />provided the context upon which additional multimodal recommendations were developed <br />to complement the multimodal investments already planned and the anticipated long-term <br />changes that would result from the implementation of the Preferred Zoning Concept. <br />Below summarizes the range of recommendations; see the Multimodal Assessment technical <br />memorandum in Appendix C for the methodology used and location -specific <br />recommendations. These recommendations seek to work in concert with other efforts <br />underway, including Safe Routes to School, the Beltline Highway interchange, proposals <br />contemplated in the MovingAhead project, and other City and County road and path <br />improvement projects. <br />RIVER ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />115 <br />
