DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1 2 <br />The Urban Street <br />The private urban streets within the plan area are planned for <br />comfortable, safe, and enjoyable pedestrian movement rather than <br />being vehicular -focused. Small urban plazas, sidewalk seating, and <br />rest zones create refuge nodes for visitors. These spaces are defined <br />by their relationship to the adjacent buildings and their variety of <br />uses that go far beyond solely pedestrian movement. Pedestrian <br />zones of 10 to 12 feet in width are planned adjacent to the interior <br />private drives of the project as discussed in the Circulation Plan, <br />Development Regulations, and Design Guidelines. <br />Entry Plaza <br />The Entry Plaza, located at the west entrance to the existing mall, will <br />become a primary entrance to the commercial core as development <br />occurs. This plaza will be one of the core open space features of the <br />plan, defined by artwork, interactive play areas, and seating. The size, <br />configuration and programming of this space is highly dependent on <br />the ultimate development plan for this area and will be developed as <br />part of the development plan for Parcel 6. <br />!.2.4 Central Plaza <br />The Central Plaza, located to the east of the existing mall, will be the <br />most prominently featured community -oriented open space within <br />the plan area. The plaza is planned as a space for entertainment, <br />gathering, and recreation for all ages. Placemaking elements within <br />the Central Plaza may include artwork, versatile softscape and <br />hardscape areas, play structures, seating, and pop-up commercial <br />buildings. These elements create a cohesive blending of the indoor <br />mall uses and the outdoor open space. <br />2.2.5 The Spaces in Between <br />Independently, each component of the Placemaking and Urban <br />Design Strategy create engaging, lively spaces that allow for a variety <br />of uses. Equally important to the design of those spaces are the <br />linkages between each of them, the spaces in between. These <br />components do not function independently, but rather as one site <br />with a focus on pedestrian well-being and enjoyment. This focus will <br />help bridge the gap and create a link that is both unique, engaging, <br />and fully integrated into the urban fabric of the site. <br />The Placemaking and Urban Design Strategy components create vibrant, <br />usable spaces that weave together the commercial core with the <br />surrounding uses. <br />MAINPLACE SPECIFIC PLAN 1 2-3 <br />
