Design Principles <br />The following design principles were developed, based on feedback to help inform more <br />detailed physical planning and development of proposed zoning code. <br />Access to the River <br />Provide direct routes to the natural <br />resource amenities of the Willamette River, <br />especially for people traveling on foot, <br />bicycle, and opportunities to see and hear <br />the River from throughout the River Road <br />and Santa Clara neighborhoods. <br />Green Network <br />Neighborhood Centers <br />�l <br />Centers + Not -Centers <br />Community Gathering Places <br />sml�?x,6& ftw <br />RIVER ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />Connect the neighborhoods through parks, <br />natural resource areas, streets with trees <br />and stormwater facilities, and wildlife <br />habitat permeating through public and <br />private spaces. <br />Plan for areas of higher activity and <br />mixed -uses at key centers along the <br />Corridor where transit, businesses, a <br />variety of housing options, gathering <br />spaces, and other neighborhood places are <br />concentrated. <br />Balance the placement of Centers along <br />the Corridor with other places that are less <br />concentrated and lower -intensity to create <br />a rhythm of active and quieter spaces. <br />Create places for people to gather and <br />socialize throughout the neighborhood at <br />parks, public plazas, businesses, transit <br />station areas, schools, community centers, <br />and other inviting locations. <br />91 <br />
