II IIII IIII VIII IIII <br />This section includes goal statements for each of the design contexts within downtown. These <br />contexts are areas identified by community workshop participants as having unique character, <br />constraints and /or design goals. Please note the Courthouse Square area is not included, as a <br />separate design review system is in place for the historic district. See the map on the following <br />page for the location of the design contexts. <br />U Illlri VIII v e Illr s IIIII <br />IIIII <br />The University Edge context should create a safe, pedestrian - friendly transition between campus <br />and downtown. New campus development in this context should be compatible in scale and <br />respectful of downtown design traditions. In addition, within the University Edge there are key <br />public views up to campus and down to Courthouse Square. New development should preserve <br />and enhance these views. <br />IIC °�'�I Illlr� ° Illlr� <br />Within the Downtown context it is especially importantto maintain compatibility with Courthouse <br />Square. Increased density is appropriate where it does not impact the character of the square. <br />III IIIl e s liiii d e llri ° liiii IIIII " "' " " "Illr a llri s liiii ° liiii o llr 111111 d g e <br />For new development within the Residential /Transition Edge context it is important to <br />minimize impacts from higher scale development on the character of the adjacent residential <br />neighborhoods. New development should provide a transition in scale between the taller <br />buildings in the T5 zone and the existing residential neighborhoods. <br />° ° "Illlr Illlr IIIII ° <br />r l <br />l <br />��� � Illlrr° � IIIIC °�'�I � � IIIII Illl�m � Illlr� <br />Projects within the Transit Oriented Development context should establish a strong pedestrian <br />orientation. The street front character is especially important here to encourage pedestrian <br />activity. <br />The Approach context is the corridor between the highway and downtown, providing an entry <br />procession into the heart of downtown. New development in this area should provide visual <br />interest and not overwhelm the distinct character of the downtown. <br />
