Update on findings - existing conditions

This analysis of existing conditions involved reviewing the following items:

• past plats
• recent plat history (since 2000)
• neighborhood characteristics
• mapping
• site visits

It is important to note that this phase did not examine the details of the existing Municipal Code, nor engineering requirements, or Low Impact Development Techniques, which will all be reviewed later on in the project.

The focus was on neighborhood function and design and how our current regulations are influencing these.

For a significant portion of the analysis I used a mapping process called “delayering” to highlight specific characteristics.

Also, the ½ mile walking radius was used as a barometer of sorts, to provide insights into the effects design decisions are having.
