SasvtyUrban Design Guidelines Addendum\RaleighPlanning and Development Customer Service Center * One Exchange Plaza, Suite 400 Raleigh, NC 27601 919-996-2500Urban Design GuidelinesThe Applicant must respond to the Urban Design Guidelines contained in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan if:a)The property to be rezoned is within a "City Growth Center", “Mixed-Use Center’, or “Transit StationAreas”, OR;The property to be rezoned is located along a "Main Street" or "Transit Emphasis Corridor" as shown onthe Urban Form Map in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.b)Policy UD 7.3:The Design Guidelines in Table UD-1shall be used to review rezoning petitions and development applications formixed-use developments; or rezoning petitions and development applications along Main Street and TransitEmphasis Corridors or in City Growth, TOD and Mixed-Use Centers, including preliminary site plans anddevelopment plans, petitions for the application of Downtown Overlay Districts, Planned Development Districts, andConditional Use zoning petitions.Urban Form Designation:Click here to view the Urban Form map.All mixed-use developments should generally provide retail (such as eating establishments, food stores,and banks), and other uses such as office and residential within walking distance of each other. Mixed usesshould be arranged in a compact and pedestrian-friendly form.Response: The Urban Limited Frontage will produce a compact and pedestrian orienteddevelopment pattern.Within all mixed-use areas, buildings that are adjacent to lower density neighborhoods should transition(height, design, distance, and/or landscaping) to the lower heights or be comparable in height and massing.Response: Transitions to lower scale neighborhoods will be provided according to the UDOneighborhood transition requirements.A mixed-use area’s road network should connect directly into the neighborhood road network of the3surrounding community, providing multiple paths for movement to and through the mixed-use area. In thisway, trips made from the surrounding residential neighborhood(s) to the mixed-use area should be possiblewithout requiring travel along a major street. Preferred and discouraged street networks.Response: The subject properties are within an established road network, and may add to theroad network through the development of 1500 S Wilmington Street.Streets should interconnect within a development and with adjoining development. Cul-de-sacs or dead-endstreets are generally discouraged except where topographic conditions and/or exterior lot line configurationsoffer no practical alternatives for connection or through traffic. Street stubs should be provided with4development adjacent to open land to provide for future connections. Streets should be planned with dueregard to the designated corridors shown on the Street Plan. Streets should connect adjacentdevelopments.Response: The subject properties are within an established road network, and may add to theroad network through the development of 1500 S Wilmington Street.Page 1 of 11REVISION 05.05.21raleighnc.gov

New development should be composed of blocks of public and/or private streets (including sidewalks).Block faces should have a length generally not exceeding 660 feet. Where commercial driveways are usedto create block structure, they should include the same pedestrian amenities as public or private streets.Response: The development of 1500 S Wilmington Street will likely break up the existing large blockface along Fayetteville Street, while the other two sites are located within established blocks.A primary task of all urban architecture and landscape design is the physical definition of streets and publicspaces as places of shared use. Streets should be lined by buildings rather than parking lots and shouldprovide interest especially for pedestrians. Garage entrances and/or loading areas should be located at theside or rear of a property.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure that buildings line the street ratherthan parking lots.Buildings should be located close to the pedestrian-oriented street (within 25 feet of the curb), with off-streetparking behind and/or beside the buildings. When a development plan is located along a high-volumecorridor without on-street parking, one bay of parking separating the building frontage along the corridor is apreferred option.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure buildings will be placed close tothe street.If the site is located at a street intersection, the main building of a complex or main part of a single buildingshould be placed at the corner. Parking, loading, or service should not be located at an intersection.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure buildings will be placed close tothe street.To ensure that urban open space is well-used, it is essential to locate and design it carefully. The spaceshould be located where it is visible and easily accessible from public areas (building entrances, sidewalks).Take views and sun exposure into account as well.Response: High quality design with Eliza Pool Park in mind can be a component of the futureRFP.New urban spaces should contain direct access from the adjacent streets. They should be open along theadjacent sidewalks and allow for multiple points of entry. They should also be visually permeable from thesidewalk, allowing passersby to see directly into the space.10Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure buildings will provide multiplepoints of pedestrian access along adjacent streets.The perimeter of urban open spaces should consist of active uses that provide pedestrian traffic for thespace including retail, cafés, and restaurants and higher-density residential.11Response: The requested zoning would allow for small retail or restaurant uses at the corner oftwo public streets.A properly defined urban open space is visually enclosed by the fronting of buildings to create an outdoor“room” that is comfortable to users.12Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure buildings will be placed close tothe street achieving the desired "outdoor room" effect.Page 2 of 11REVISION 05.0.21raleighnc.gov

New public spaces should provide seating opportunities.13Response: n/aParking lots should not dominate the frontage of pedestrian-oriented streets, interrupt pedestrian routes, ornegatively impact surrounding developments.14Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure that buildings line the street ratherthan parking lots.Parking lots should be located behind or in the interior of a block whenever possible. Parking lots should notoccupy more than 1/3 of the frontage of the adjacent building or not more than 64 feet, whichever is less.15Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure that buildings line the street ratherthan parking lots.Parking structures are clearly an important and necessary element of the overall urban infrastructure, but,given their utilitarian elements, can have serious negative visual effects. New structures should merit the16same level of materials and finishes as that a principal building would. Care in the use of basic designelements can make a significant improvement.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will achieve this goal.Higher building densities and more intensive land uses should be within walking distance of transit stops,permitting public transit to become a viable alternative to the automobile.A?Response: There js a proposed Bus Rapid Transit stop within 1/4 mile of these sites.Convenient, comfortable pedestrian access between the transit stop and the building entrance should beplanned as part of the overall pedestrian network.18Response: any development would include pedestrian improvements to better facilitate walkingto the transit stop.All development should respect natural resources as an essential component of the human environment.19The most sensitive landscape areas, both environmentally and visually, are steep slopes greater than 15percent, watercourses, and floodplains. Any development in these areas should minimize intervention andmaintain the natural condition except under extreme circumstances. Where practical, these features shouldbe conserved as open space amenities and incorporated in the overall site design.Response: a jarge portion of the subject properties are within floodplains. Floodplains will notbe developed.20All development should incorporate high-quality, productive landscapes that serve multiple functions. Suchfunctions include noise mitigation and absorption; capturing and cleaning of particulate matter; collectionand filtering of stormwater; and reduction of the urban heat island effect. Strategies include green walls,trellises, carefully planted trees, green infrastructure, and green roofs.Response: These elements can be included in the RFP after the properties are rezoned.Page 3 of 11REVISION 05.0.21raleighnc.gov

It is the intent of these guidelines to build streets that are integral components of community design. Publicand private streets, as well as commercial driveways that serve as primary pedestrian pathways to building21entrances, should be designed as the main public spaces of the city and should be scaled for pedestrians.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure buildings will provide multiplepoints of pedestrian access along adjacent streets.Sidewalks should be 5-8 feet wide in residential areas and located on both sides of the street. Sidewalks incommercial areas and other areas where walkability is a focus should be a minimum of 14-18 feet wide to22accommodate sidewalk uses such as vendors, merchandising, and outdoor seating.Response: The requested Urban Limited Frontage requires a minimum 8-foot sidewalk.Streets should be designed with street trees planted in a manner appropriate to their function. Commercialstreets should have trees that complement the face of the buildings and that shade the sidewalk.Residential streets should provide for an appropriate tree canopy, which shadows both the street and23sidewalk and serves as a visual buffer between the street and the home. The typical width of the streetlandscape strip is 6-8 feet. This width ensures healthy street trees, precludes tree roots from breaking thesidewalk, and provides adequate pedestrian buffering. Street trees should be at least 6 %” caliper andshould be consistent with the city’s landscaping, lighting, and street sight distance requirements.Response: The requested Urban Limted Frontage requires a minimum 6-foot planting strip.Buildings should define the streets spatially. Proper spatial definition should be achieved with buildings orother architectural elements (including certain tree plantings) that make up the street edges aligned in a24disciplined manner with an appropriate ratio of height to width.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will produce a compact and pedestrianoriented development pattern.The primary entrance should be both architecturally and functionally on the front facade of any buildingfacing the primary public street. Such entrances should be designed to convey their prominence on the25fronting facade.Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will ensure buildings will provide multiplepoints of pedestrian access along adjacent streets.The ground level of the building should offer pedestrian interest along sidewalks. This includes windows,entrances, and architectural details. Signage, awnings, and ornamentation are encouraged.26Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will produce a compact and pedestrianoriented development pattern.The sidewalks should be the principal place of pedestrian movement and casual social interaction. Designsand uses should be complementary to that function.27Response: The requested Urban Limited frontage will produce a compact and pedestrianoriented development pattern.Page 4 of 11REVISION 05.0.21raleighnc.gov
