Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 69 USES Uses Multifamily Residential, Townhouses, Multiplexes, Duplexes, Single-Family Residential, Accessory Dwellings, Continuum of Care, and Institutional (See Special Consideration) First floors should have active community spaces, including leasing offices, workout facilities, and other amenities, that are individually accessible from the street. Limited local commercial uses on the ground floor that serve the neighborhood may be appropriate. FORM Building Placement New development is encouraged to be master planned to achieve a cohesive design for the entire site. New and infill development is encouraged to provide a variety of housing types and should be designed so that single-family dwellings and duplexes are located on the periphery in order to transition to existing single-family neighborhoods. Building setbacks along the existing street should be consistent with the established setbacks where they are expected to remain, however building setbacks internal to a development may differ from the established setbacks in the area. Building setbacks along new streets or internal drives should be minimal to create an active street environment that encourages pedestrian activity. Buildings, where feasible, should be sited or designed to create gathering spaces, such as pocket parks, courtyards, squares or greens, outdoor seating areas, etc., that are easily accessible from adjacent streets or sidewalks. Building Character Buildings should engage and define the street edge with building entrances, pedestrian walkways, landscaping, and street furnishings. Multifamily units should provide individual ground floor entrances, stoops or front porches, and pedestrian connections to the street or to a drive resembling a street. Dwellings within new developments should provide an appropriate mix of cohesive architectural styles and building materials that enhance the City’s character. Architecture should contain a rich blending of designs that complement each other yet not be overly repetitive. If designed with garages, dwellings should have rear-loaded garages accessed by alleys.
