DESIGN GUIDELINES 1 4 <br />Open space within the planning area should not be an afterthought <br />or simply occupy the space not covered by buildings. As discussed in <br />the site planning section of these Design Guidelines, open space plays <br />a critical role in defining the character of a place. Open space should <br />be strategically located throughout the planning area and sized <br />appropriately, with consideration taken into the number and types <br />of potential users. <br />A. General Guidelines <br />DG -139 Open space should be well lit with clear site lines to <br />promote safe use of the area. <br />DG -140 Open space should be interactive with experiential <br />activities such as provided for users of all age groups. <br />DG - 141 Common open space should provide site amenities that <br />encourage pedestrian use. Benches, seating areas, bike <br />racks, art, water features and other appropriate amenities <br />are strongly encouraged. <br />DG -142 Open space should be sheltered from the noise and traffic <br />of adjacent streets or other incompatible uses. <br />DG -143 Onsite outdoor play areas can provide children with a safe <br />and interesting environment and allow parents to easily <br />view play areas in order to supervise play activities. <br />Children, especially those in the five to twelve-year age <br />group, tend to play throughout the entire grounds of a <br />development, not just in designated play areas. Therefore <br />their needs, as well as maintenance requirements, should <br />be important design considerations. <br />DG -144 Play areas should not be located near public streets, <br />parking, or entry areas unless physically separated by <br />appropriate walls, fencing, dense landscaping, or another <br />adequate physical barrier. <br />DG -145 Common amenities such as drinking fountains and onsite <br />trash receptacles should be located in or adjacent to high <br />use areas (e.g., community facilities, play areas, public <br />gathering spaces). <br />B. Common Open Space <br />DG -146 Common open space should be designed to be open and <br />inviting and provide multiple connection points from <br />adjacent uses. <br />DG -147 Common open space may take the form of hardscape <br />(plazas, seating areas, decomposed granite) or softscape <br />(turf, landscaped areas). The materials used should reflect <br />the intended user and the surrounding environment. <br />DG -148 Common open space located within commercial areas <br />should be flexible in nature and provide opportunities to <br />host events such as movies in the park, food truck <br />gatherings, and outdoor sales. <br />Bocce ball courts and outdoor seating are cxamples of programming in <br />public spaces. <br />MAINPLACE SPECIFIC PLAN 1 4-22 <br />
