This should occur between nine and fourteen feet above the level of the sidewalk, and should provide a minimum of eight feet of cover in width. Cover should not project closer to the curb than three feet. • Overhead cover at the sidewalk may provide continuous protection without being continuous itself. • Cover may take the form of either a projection from the building, an arcade, or a combination of the two. Arcades shall be open to the street. • Projections may take the form of fabric awnings which are retractable, fabric awnings which are not retractable, or fixed non-fabric projected covers. • Projected covers may be occupied by the building user, but should be accessed only from the building and not from the sidewalk. Where projected covers are occupied, they may also be supported by columns which fall in the rightof- way. Columns in the right-of-way should not interfere with pedestrians or emergency functions of the sidewalk. Maintain clear sidewalk width not interrupted by columns. Provide sufficient space between curb and columns to accommodate the potential of vehicles jumping the curb. • Where buildings have been permitted to pull significantly away from the line, a free standing cover should be provided along the right-ofway. Owners are encouraged in this condition to provide pedestrian cover additionally at the edge of the building where it does not touch the property line. • Existing buildings which experience significant renovation should provide pedestrian protection as well. Landmark buildings may comply by installing a detached cover in front of the building. • PS.2 Minimize curb cuts-Complies Recommendations: • Curb cuts should be minimized, and concentrated at mid-block. • Development downtown should place curb cuts at original alley locations where possible. Specialty pedestrian paving, such as pavers, should continue at a level walking surface across mid-block curb cuts. • Overhead cover should continue across curb cuts where possible. PS.3 Create a potential for two-way streets: Complies Recommendations: • Driveways should be designed to function in both one-way and two-way street system. PS.4 Reinforce pedestrian activity: Partially Complies • Appropriately wide sidewalks should be provided from corner to corner along • Sidewalks should abut the street curb. Sidewalks extending on and of private all property lines. property will meet at grade. 4 Comment: F& B Entrance: Applicant is proposing a single step to enter the building. This is highly problematic for all persons navigating the street, especially while distracted , lost and/or moving quickly around the corner • Blocks without pedestrian connections should be identified and prioritized for sidewalk construction. • Develop a Way Finding Master Plan which incorporates such tools as specialty pavements, signs and graphics to facilitate pedestrian movement. • A new street sign system which unites downtown and other urban centers • Encourage street vendors, sidewalk cafes, etc. – food attracts pedestrian should be developed. activity. • Buildings should address the streetscape and reinforce pedestrian activity. Comment: F & B space is provided on Trinity Street but streetscape appears to only engage the sidewalk at a small portion of the northeast corner. Proposed width of outdoor seating area not efficient to adequately engage street level. Consider moving exterior walls in further off the street to allow for more outdoor sitting/ eating area Comment: Consider relocation of electrical vault / electric switch gear to allow for more retail opportunity to reinforce pedestrian activity. PS.5 Enhance key transit stops: Not Applicable Recommendations: • Reduce and consolidate the overall number of transit stops in throughout the city. • Enhance and make markedly visible stops which are located near important pedestrian crossings, at bus route transfer stations and at culturally or historically important places. • Adjacent developments should incorporate enhanced transit stops and shelters into their design. • Developments should address enhanced transit stops as public places. • Consider pedestrian comfort and safety and provide adequate space, shade, and trees at transit stops in the development of site plans. • Transit station enhancements might include: o lighted transit “signal” indicating transit stop by name, e.g., “Fourth Street at Congress”, ”Transfer Station”, “Convention Center Station”, “Brush Square Station”. legible route number graphics full shelter with benches o o o city location map o bus route map and schedule o public telephone • water fountain • waste receptacle o advertising surface o district related enhancements, such as particular paving type o or logo “Cultural Information Point” (see downtown “culture framework plan” proposal) Incorporate civic art into key transit stops • PS.6 Enhance the streetscape: Non-Complies Recommendations: • Dense development is encouraged to provide street furniture in the public right-of-way for pedestrian use. High priority should be given to streets identified in the Great Streets Program. • Coordinate street furniture with the Great Streets program where applicable. • Street furniture may be fixed to the sidewalk if adequate clear passage for pedestrians and emergency access is provided. Avoid intrusions into the accessible route. 5 This project is not immediately adjacent to any key transit stops so enhancement does not apply. Not applicable. • Cafe tables and kiosks may occupy a portion of the public right-of-way if adequate clear passage for pedestrians and emergency access is provided. • The design of street furnishings should unify areas with distinct character. Participation from private property owners is encouraged. • Appropriate planting may be provided as well. • The use of Austin artisans and artists in the creation of street furniture is encouraged. This project, as presented, does not comply with the Great Streets Program gatekeeper requirements. Additional enhancements are encouraged to bolster street activity. . PS.7 Avoid conflicts between pedestrians and utility equipment: Compliant. Recommendations: • Utility connections and support should be located in the furnishings zone to avoid conflict with pedestrian movement in the right-of-way and maintain accessible routes. • Placement of utilities should be considered as a design element and be clearly dimensioned on site plans - where the information is available. • Above ground utilities should be visually compatible with other streetscape elements. • Utility lines (wires) should be placed underground in the public right -of-way. PS.8 Install street trees: Non- Compliant Recommendations: • Trees should be provided along major pedestrian corridors. • Consider that the life span of street trees in dense urban areas is frequently limited by soil volume. Provide as much soil volume as possible to support sustained tree growth in existing or new sidewalks. . • Consider the use of structural soil or continuous street tree trenches to provide maximum soil area for roots to spread, and water and air to penetrate. • Locate trees in expanded sidewalk areas in the parking zone to provide more • Allow sufficient room for tree canopies to grow and develop without conflict area for root systems. with other building elements. • Install irrigation systems to provide adequate water to establish and maintain trees. Provide drainage to storm sewer or install dry wells. • In high pedestrian use areas, install tree guards to protect the trunks from • Consider the design of street tree layout in relation to the buildings and other • Select trees which are adapted to the harsh conditions of a dense urban damage streetscape elements. environment. PS.9 Provide pedestrian-scaled lighting: Non-Compliant Recommendations: • Urban Streets should be lit by pedestrian-scaled fixtures emitting warm light. • A minimum of 1 foot candle of warm light should be provided in all space between the building face and the curb along all streets. • Lighting may be provided through the use of pedestrian-scaled pole fixtures, or fixtures may be attached to the face of the building. The type and size of pole fixtures should be as consistent as possible along a single block. • The City of Austin is encouraged to create a set of recommendations for street lighting, outlining areas where a consistent character should be maintained, 6 This project, as presented, does not comply with the Great Streets Program gatekeeper requirements. Unclear if street trees along Trinity are being removed or staying and describing that character. Lighting is shown in the illustrations do not comply with the Great Streets Program. Light fixtures in rendering do not match image of proposed lighting. Provide pedestrian scale lighting – fixtures and show lighting in renderings for full compliance PS.10 Provide protection from cars/promote curbside parking: Non-Compliant Recommendations: • Buffers from cars should be provided along the sidewalk edge. • This protection may take the form of cars parked in metered parking spaces, trees, planters, or bollards. • Curbside parking is encouraged along all busy downtown streets. • Where right-of-way is 80’ or less, parallel parking is encouraged. Project as proposed is removing the curbside parking and not providing for trees or planters to protect pedestrians from busy street PS.11 Screen mechanical and utility equipment: Compliant Recommendations: • Mechanical equipment should be screened from view and located away from the street edge. • Particular attention should be given to mechanical equipment at street level.

Comment: Not applicable due to size/ type of plaza Project complies with 0 of the 16 applicable Plaza and Open Space Guidelines. Items 1,4,6,8,& 15 Partially comply and items 11 & 16 are not applicable. 12 GUIDELINES FOR BUILDINGS B.1 Build to the street - Compliant Recommendations: • Urban buildings should be built to the property line to the greatest extent possible when the property line is adjacent to the street - except where additional sidewalk width is needed or desired to create 12 -18’wide sidewalks. • Building facades should be viewed as part of the public realm and designed accordingly. • Developments should meet the property lines at the lower four floors. • Provisions will be made for exceptions such as arcades on the lower floor and for public plazas which follow the guidelines on outdoor spaces. Comment: This project is built to the street. However, the applicant is encourage to pull the first level away from the street to provide for a more operational street plaza. B.2 Provide multi-tenant, pedestrian-oriented development at the street level Partially Compliant Recommendations: • Buildings should provide street-level, pedestrian-oriented uses on all street • A public plaza which follows the guidelines on outdoor spaces may be considered a pedestrian-oriented use. If a single building occupies an entire street front on a block, the public plaza may occupy no more than half the block. Pedestrian-oriented uses in the building should face the plaza. The plaza design should recognize the responsibility to define the street. • No more than 25% of net street frontage should be occupied by uses which have no need for or discourage walk-in traffic. Drive-through facilities are not allowed. • Building design should encourage multi-tenant occupancy at the lower two fronts. floors. Comment: This project provides multi-tenant use, but pedestrian-oriented development at the street level is minimal. Compliance with and enhancements to the Great Streets Plan usually result in a more dynamic streetscape. Project partially complies with this Section. Applicant is encouraged to provide the same linear feet of street front on the second floor for activation within the building- for what is given up for building services and the electric vault to optimize pedestrian activation. B.3 Accentuate primary entrances Compliant Recommendations: • Large buildings which front multiple streets should provide multiple entrances. • Building entrances which connect to a central lobby should be distributed on different street facing facades. • Primary building entrances should be accentuated. These entrances should be designed so that they are not easily confused with entrances into ground level businesses. • Primary entrances should be recessed off the sidewalk to limit conflicts between swinging doors and pedestrians. • Civic art and artistic crafting of building materials can help distinguish building entrances. B.4 Encourage the inclusion of local character – Non Compliant Recommendations: • The use of quality local materials is encouraged / local character should be included in the design. • Care should be taken to avoid nostalgic reproductions, but to use the materials in a meaningful manner • Encourage the participation of local artists and artisans in detailing and materials. • Building design should exhibit a response to the local climate. The facades the new building show very little local character. Local art or graphics or at least some use of local materials or indigenous features would tie the project to our local character. Applicant is encouraged to work with 13 local artist to incorporate a more unique pattern on the perforated metal panel and provide art on blank walls along Trinity at the electric vault B.5 Control on-site parking – Compliant Recommendations: • Parking should be located below grade, or in interior courts above grade. It should not occur at grade along property lines which are adjacent to a street. • Where above ground structured parking is located at the perimeter of a building, this should be screened in such a way that cars are not visible from adjacent buildings or the street. • Above ground parking should be designed in such a way that neighboring buildings are not adversely affected by headlights. building. • Structured parking should not be treated in such a way that it is indistinguishable from inhabited areas of the • Inhabitable space must occupy at least 50% of the cumulative length of the streetwall of the building. Where a building occupies an entire block, the inhabitable streetwall must be distributed so that it is not all located on one half of the block. • Certain streets may be so important that parking in the streetwall along them will not be allowed. • Shared Parking requirements can help alleviate parking requirements without building additional infrastructure. B.6 Create quality construction- Compliant • Buildings should be built as high-quality, long-term components of the urban fabric. • Buildings should be constructed as maintenance free as possible and should be designed to achieve a life span greater than seventy-five years. • A building is at the end of its lifespan when factors including operating or maintenance costs, repair or reconstruction costs, pressure for more flexible spaces, among others, outweigh the cost of building a new similar building. • Buildings should have a built-in flexibility to their design and recognize that buildings frequently undergo alterations to conform to uses not considered in the original design. • Consideration should be given to floor-to-floor heights and structural grids as they may impact possible • Consideration should be given to the pedestrian's visual and tactile experience in the selection and future uses. configuration of building materials. • Consideration should be given to the design of exterior walls and skins of buildings. These should not be considered sacrificial surfaces to be replaced several times in the life of the building. B.7 Create buildings with human scale – Non Compliant • Buildings should be designed with a variety of scales, creating a scale and level of detail at the street level appropriate to the pedestrian. • Clearly articulating different uses at lower building levels will aid in creating a sense of human scale in mid- and high-rise buildings. Addressing human scale may further be achieved through architectural detailing, and by variation in the three dimensional character of the building mass as it rises skyward. • Monolithic, vertical extrusions of a maximum building footprint are strongly discouraged. • The lower floors should be differentiated architecturally. • Where existing adjacent buildings have a consistent massing, this should be continued. The proximity of building façade to street does not convey a sensitivity to human scale. The street plazas are not wide enough to allow the type of experience depicted in the illustrations. A better solution to drop-off/pick-up is highly encouraged to provide for a safe transition of persons entering and exiting the establishments Project complies with 4 of the 7 applicable Building Guidelines. Item 2 partially complies. 14 OVERALL RESULTS Areawide Public Streetscape Plazas and Open Space Buildings TOTAL 6 out of 11 comply 4 out of 13 comply 0 out of 16 comply 4 out of 7 comply 14 out of 47 comply 1 partially complies 3 partially comply 2 partially comply 1 partially comply 7 partially comply 1 not applicable 1 not applicable 3 not applicable 4 not applicable The Density Bonus Working Group has determined that 5th & Trinity may not be in substantial compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines. It should be noted that the findings of this Working Group Memo are not reflective of the Design Commission and should not be construed as a final determination. Not all categories have equal weight from a points determination perspective. Substantial Compliance is a judgement call based upon the overall contribution to the experience of the public. Bringing partial points to full compliance and any out of compliance items to full compliance increases the likelihood of support from the full Design Commission WORKING GROUP COMMENTS (Comments from Specific Working Group Members)  Project does not currently meet Great Streets Standards, which is a gatekeeper requirement for density bonus. Please review with City of Austin Urban Design prior to Design Commission meeting to ensure project is compliant. (MM)  Renderings need to match what's being proposed and be consistent throughout. Benches and trash cans pictured are not Great Streets standards. Please include an accurately depicted site plan showing where pavers, furniture, planting and all ground mounted equipment will be located. Plan views, sections and renderings all show something different for each facade currently. (MM) Is existing gooseneck light fixture on corner staying or being removed/relocated? Renderings show it being replaced by a historic fixture -Is this appropriate for the downtown streets?  Need clarification prior to Design Commission meeting on whether or not trees along Trinity will be preserved or removed, make sure this is graphically clear. (MM) Incorporate more greenery along 5th street facade, especially where metal panel and storage are located. (MM)  Explore the potential for dressing up southeast facade where Austin Energy Vault, kitchen and electrical room meet Trinity street - this corner of the streetscape is un- activated and dead. (MM()  Explore the potential for art indicative of Austin in the perforated metal panel. (MM)   ADD YOUR COMMENTS HERE The Working Group appreciates this opportunity to preliminarily review and comment on this project and we look forward to a continued collaborative process while moving this project forward.
