From YouTube: RAD Form-Based Code
Description
The following is a presentation from an April 7, 2016 public meeting on the draft form-based code for the River Arts District in Asheville, North Carolina.
Lee Einsweiler with Code Studio conducted the presentation.
The presentation PDF can be found at:

A
Tonight,
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
the
actual
draft
code
early
in
our
work
on
this
kind
of
project.
We
would
have
brought
you
some
kind
of
derivative
PowerPoint
slides
with
some
little
screenshots
and
whatever
the
codes
have
become
so
visual
that
I'm
literally
going
to
use
the
pages
out
of
the
code.
So
what
you're
seeing
up
here
on
the
screen
is
just
the
PDF
of
the
code
document
and
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
some
of
the
key
pieces.
A
We
won't
drone
on
over
every
page
but
I'm
going
to
try
to
give
you
some
sense
of
the
overall
intent
of
each
of
the
district's
and
how
those
pieces
operate
and
what
other
pieces
beyond
the
zoning
districts
are
actually
in
there.
I've
got
the
map
of
the
area
up
here
down
below
the
cover
of
the
form
based
code.
Draft
you'll.
A
Remember
is
the
illustrative
plan
from
the
Charette
that
is
sort
of
one
way
that
buildings
could
end
up
on
these
properties
and,
if
you
remember
part
of
that
discussion
had
as
much
as
anything
to
do
with
what
is
actually
possible.
Not
what
rights
does
zoning
give
you
seven
stories.
For
example,
we
had
an
example
in
haywood
road,
where
seven
stories
was
allocated
to
the
junkyard
lot.
That
is
next
to
the
Admiral
I
know.
You've
all
seen
it.
That
lot
is
far
too
small
to
ever
accommodate
seven
story,
building
and
its
parking
it
just
doesn't
fit.
A
So
we
can
work
back
from
that
to
what
does
fit.
What
could
provide
some
parking?
What
what
could
make
this
site
work?
That's
the
same
kind
of
work
that
was
done
during
the
Charette
that
generated
that
visual.
That
then
goes
to
inform
what
we
end
up
doing
in
the
zoning,
so
the
document
itself
includes
some
general
provisions
that
introduce
the
code
and
set
up
especially
important
for
those
who
might
still
be
in
process
some
transitional
provisions
for
how
existing
approvals
are
going
to
be
treated
during
the
interim
period.
It
sets
up
each
of
the
districts.
A
It
sets
up
the
land
uses.
It
sets
up
a
limited
out
of
sight
development
standards.
Those
are
supplemented
by
the
rest
of
the
zoning
ordinance.
It
sets
up
its
own
form,
based
code
administration
and
definitions
that
are
specific
to
this
code.
So
here
we
have
the
general
provisions
page.
The
second
one
is
probably
the
more
important
one.
A
It
talks
about
the
fact
that
new
development
is
not
allowed
unless
it
follows
the
code
really
simple
kind
of
thing
and
on
the
bottom
here
it
suggests
that
previously
issued
permits
and
any
pending
applications
that
have
been
submitted
in
advance
of
adoption
of
the
code.
Those
are
allowed
to
continue
using
the
old
rules,
so
there
will
be
things
still
happening
in
the
area.
It
might
be
rad
lofts,
it
might
be
all
kinds
of
things
that
are
pending
approvals,
that
could
move
forward
in
advance
of
the
new
code.
A
Applying
this
does
include
the
map
and
I'd
like
to
take
just
a
minute
and
try
to
describe
for
you
in
general
what
each
of
these
districts
is
intended
to
do,
and
so,
if
we
look
here,
we've
just
named
them
rad
one
through
rad,
nine,
the
same
way
that
in
haywood
road
there
haywood
road
one
through
something,
so
a
very
similar
approach,
trying
not
to
give
any
hierarchy
or
preference
to
any
of
them,
not
to
say
that
any
of
them
are
more
special
than
any
of
the
other
ones.
The
first
one
is
mixed.
Use
live
work.
A
That's
this
piece
right
here
on
Ralph
you'll,
see
there
and
rad
one.
The
idea
of
live
work
is
usually
something
that
looks
like
a
townhouse,
but
the
bottom
floor
of
it
can
actually
be
something
commercial.
It
could
be
a
gallery
space,
it
could
be
a
working
studio.
Space
provides
an
opportunity
to
have
that
kind
of
a
space
in
a
building,
so
that
could
show
up
along
the
backside
behind
the
mountain
housing
at
327,
there
are
three
72
sorry
back
up
behind
on
route
street
I'm
rad
two
is
called
mixed
use
edge.
A
A
They
are
near
a
residential
neighborhood,
but
if
you
actually
go
and
visit
the
site,
you
discover
that
the
neighborhood
is
actually
a
fair
ways
up
and
over
the
hill,
and
these
properties
sit
down
at
the
bottom
right.
Where
New
Belgium
is
so
it's
really
just
that
little
edge
along
the
bottom
of
the
road
there,
including
you
know
the
burger
bar
and
some
other
fine
establishments
that
are
along
there
today.
So
there's
two
houses
for
sale
there.
A
If
anybody's
looking
to
get
in
early
the
mixed-use
there
would
allow
for
retail
that
might
tap
into
the
customer
base
for
new
belgium
brewing
as
visitors
start
to
come
to
the
area,
we
could
see
mixed-use
facilities
there
if
they
show
up
its
most
likely.
They'll
show
up
on
these
deeper
parcels
right
here
at
that
northern
end,
closer
up
to
where
the
parking
lot
for
the
visitor
area
would
be
the
rad
3,
then,
is
this
piece
in
which
some
people
called
the
hollow
during
the
course
of
the
discussion
Lyman
hollow?
A
That
is
a
little
hidden
gem
of
an
area
when
you
step
up
inside
there,
you
see
that
there
are
substantial
hillside
surrounding
the
entire
area,
so
in
fact,
a
fairly
large
building
fits
there
without
having
any
impact
on
anyone,
because
it's
not
within
the
view
of
anyone
down
below
that's
that
piece
rad
for
is
called
mixed
use
raised.
The
reason
this
is
called
raised
is
that
it's
the
piece
here
at
Riverview
station
and
also
to
the
north
between
the
tracks
and
the
river,
where
the
floodplain
lies.
A
So
almost
every
building
in
that
area
is
going
to
have
to
be
raised
up
substantially
in
order
not
to
flood
the
ground
floor
or
in
the
future,
and
so
for
the
moment,
we've
called
that
mixed
use
raised
most
likely
will
see
people
actually
building
up
one
story.
The
bottom
story
will
be
open
to
allow
the
floodwaters
to
move
through
and
that
will
most
likely
be
parking
down
below
and
up
above.
That,
then,
would
be
the
development
rad
five
is
called
mixed-use
neighborhood.
A
That
is
the
pieces
here
on
the
northern
end
of
kind
of
the
core
area
north
of
where
the
rad
lofts
is
proposed
to
be
the
mix.
Ds5
has
one
particularity
in
that
it
runs
up
along
the
edge
past
film
mechanic
and
has
a
very
narrow
street
robert
street
that
goes
through
there,
and
because
of
that,
then
we
wanted
to
keep
the
height
and
intensity
similar
to
the
way
those
existing
buildings
feel
along
that
road
way
now.
So
there
is
actually
a
step
back.
A
Allow
required
in
this
area,
so
up
to
two
stories
would
be
allowed
and
then
the
building
must
move
back
a
little
bit
so
that
when
you're
standing
on
the
street
it'll
feel
mostly
like
it's
a
two-story
building
adjacent
to
you
and
then
stepped
back
in
the
upper
story.
The
next
one
rad
six
is
called
mixed-use
shopfront.
The
mixed-use
shopfront
is
the
area
including
rad
lofts,
and
going
down
along
Depot
Street.
A
The
mixture
shop
front
is
focused
on
a
little
bit
more
of
a
retail
experience
and
so
there's
more
windows
required
on
the
buildings
along
that
area,
so
that
you
can
see
what's
going
on
inside,
because
that's
what
really
creates
a
good
retail
experience.
So
that's
kind
of
the
retail
core
of
the
entire
area.
Then
rad7
is
up
here
on
the
northern
end
right
now.
That
area
is
still
kind
of
in
its
formative
stages,
but
it
has
one
particular
thing
going
for
it.
A
The
8th
district
is
just
simply
called
industrial.
It
shows
up
on
the
new
belgium
site
and
down
here
between
these
two
pieces
of
rad
for
the
industrial
peace
is
as
written
right
now
intended
as
sort
of
an
industrial
sanctuary.
It
allows
principally
only
those
industrial
uses,
it
does
not
allow
residential
use
and
it
really
doesn't
allow
retail
or
other
kinds
of
uses
that
might
have
been
allowed
in
industrial
districts
before
it
is
set
up
to
be
about
jobs
and
employment.
A
The
final
district
rad
9
is
an
open
space
district
because
we
have
substantial
pieces
of
open
space.
This
is
the
duke
power
piece
on
the
west
side
of
the
river
and
on
the
east
side
of
the
river.
There
are
city-owned
pieces
that
lie
within
the
floodway,
and
so
those
will
be
designated
open
space
so
that
everybody
knows
they're
not
to
be
developed.
So
that's
a
general
characterization
of
what
those
new
zoning
districts
might
look
like
as
we
work
through
this
process.
The
lines
on
the
map
may
change.
The
names
of
the
districts
may
change.
A
We
may
end
up
merging
some
ideas
together.
There's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
about
them,
so
don't
think
that
this
is
a
thing
that
is
set
in
stone
at
this
point
in
time.
So
in
order
to
understand
and
how
each
of
the
zoning
district
works,
we
started
out
with
a
series
of
rules
that
apply
to
all
of
the
districts
and
they
tell
you
things
like
how
to
measure
lots
and
and
what
side
setbacks
are
and
what
you
do
with
parking
location
for
townhouses
and
live
work
units.
A
So
if
the
new
rules
don't
fit
your
existing
building
right,
if
the
new
rules
don't
fit
your
existing
building,
then
you'll
be
using
this
section
to
determine
what
you
can
do,
and
this
section
talks
about
adding
rear
additions,
adding
side
additions,
putting
a
new
building
in
front
and
what
your
options
are
for.
Building
on
your
site,
if
you're
non-conforming.
A
We
want
to
have
an
experience
where
the
glass
is
distributed
along
the
shop
front,
not
all
on
one
end
and
then
a
long
blank
wall,
because
people
don't
like
walking
past
blank
walls.
So
we
try
to
keep
down
the
width
of
the
blank
wall
section
because
of
that
there
are
rules
for
pedestrian
access
to
buildings
and
for
the
street
escapes,
and
then
there
are
a
series
of
building
elements.
I
apologize,
some
of
them
not
been
illustrated.
A
A
So
each
of
the
districts
is
the
next
piece
of
the
ordinance
and
I'm
only
going
to
walk
you
through
one,
so
that
you
know
what
the
components
are
I'm
going
to
skip
ahead.
A
little
we've
tried
in
each
one
to
give
you
purpose
and
intent,
the
form,
the
height,
the
setbacks
and
the
general
use,
and
then
to
give
you
some
images.
These
are
not
necessarily
images
here
in
Asheville.
A
They
might
come
from
all
around
the
country,
but
they're
intended
to
illustrate
in
the
same
sort
of
size
and
scale
the
kind
of
thing
that
might
be
built
under
this
district.
So
you
might
want
to
pay
some
attention
to
those
photos
if
you're
uncomfortable
with
what
you
see
in
those
photos
we're
going
to
have
to
change
the
rules
in
order
to
get
to
the
point
where
we're
all
comfortable
so
purpose
and
intent.
A
Then
two
side-by-side
pages
that
open
up
next
to
each
other
lot:
criteria,
the
siting
of
the
building,
access
and
parking
on
the
site,
and
then
the
bulk
and
mass
of
the
building
each
of
those
pieces
kind
of
builds
one
on
the
other.
Until
you
know
what
you're
building
will
be
once
you
know
what
you're
building
will
be.
The
final
page,
then,
is
what
we
call
the
public
realm.
A
It's
the
space
between
your
building
in
the
back
of
the
curb
and
actually
includes
the
space
across
the
street,
we're
not
specifying
how
the
street
gets
built,
we're
leaving
that
to
the
city.
The
streets
here
are
fundamentally
built
today,
and
so
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
creating
new
streets
for
the
most
part,
but
we
will
be
worrying
about
creating
new
sidewalks
making
sure
they're
landscaped
correctly
make
sure
we
get
street
trees
and
all
those
other
elements
you
see
here
so
the
public
realm
rules
are
here.
A
So
here's
the
description
of
the
form,
the
height,
is
limited
to
four
stories
and
then
there's
a
discussion
of
front
setbacks
and
uses
and
I'll
show
you
the
details
of
that
here
as
we
go
through.
For
the
most
part,
there
aren't
a
whole
lot
of
lot
criteria,
we're
not
expecting
brand-new
subdivision
to
spring
up
in
this
area.
A
If
anything,
people
are
likely
to
be
merging
lots
together
to
create
larger
development
parcels,
but
there
is
a
very
important
requirement
here
on
the
left-hand
side,
the
maximum
building
coverage,
how
much
of
my
lot
can
be
covered
up
with
a
building?
So
in
the
case
of
this
shop
front
one
of
our
most
intense
districts
in
the
very
center
of
the
area,
that
number
happens
to
be
ninety
percent.
You
can
cover
almost
all
of
your
lot
with
a
building
the
siting
of
the
building.
A
The
building
has
to
sit
along
the
primary
street,
which
is
going
to
be,
for
example,
Depot
Street.
In
most
cases
here
it
has
to
sit
between
zero
feet
and
10
feet
from
the
property
line,
which
you
can
typically
think
of.
As
about
the
back
of
the
sidewalk,
so
the
building
can
have
a
little
in
and
out
going
on,
it
can
have
a
little
extra
space
for
outdoor
dining.
A
It
could
have
some
options,
but
within
that
very
narrow
band,
as
you
move
out
of
this
core
area
that
that
flexibility
becomes
greater
10
feet
to
30
feet,
perhaps
in
some
cases
so
that
you
have
much
more
flexibility
and
where
your
building
is
sighted
and
how
it
might
be
articulated
things
that
face
the
river,
for
example,
may
have
much
more
flexibility
along
that
edge
to
encourage
a
more
interesting
edge
here.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
create
Main,
Street
and
Main.
Street
is
typically
a
line
of
buildings.
A
You
know
maybe
sixty
or
seventy
five
percent
in
some
of
those
districts
where
the
buildings
are
not
required
to
be
as
wide
and
there's
more
open
space
around
the
individual
buildings.
In
addition,
then,
up
the
side
street
on
the
side
street
forty
five
percent
of
the
lot
line
needs
to
have
building
at
it.
Okay,
so
you've
got
to
set
that
building
both
up
and
along.
A
If
you
happen
to
be
a
corner
lot
along
that
side,
lot
line
access
and
parking,
there's
a
limit
on
the
driveway
with
one
way
in
to
a
aisles
are
limited
here
and
there
are
parking
setbacks.
The
principal
reason
for
the
parking
setbacks
is
to
make
sure
that
the
building
is
the
most
prominent
thing
behind
the
sidewalk,
so
the
parking
is
actually
pushed
at
least
30
feet
back.
A
When
you
do
that,
you
can
have
a
30
foot,
depth
of
say,
a
retail
space
in
the
front
of
the
building,
and
then
you
could
have
an
overhang
and
tuck
under
parking.
You
could
actually
have
habitable
space
back
behind
that
parking
was
tucked
underneath,
but
we
don't
want
the
parking
out
there
right
at
the
street
edge,
and
so
we
set
the
parking
setback
to
move
the
parking
into
the
site
on
the
side
street.
On
the
other
hand,
that's
not
as
important
as
the
primary
street.
A
The
parking
setbacks
only
10
feet,
so
there
would
be
a
landscaped
piece
of
10
feet
wide
as
you
went
up
the
side
of
the
building
where
the
parking
lot
was.
The
final
piece
here
is
building
height
in
this
case
maximum
height
for
stories
55
feet
so
for
stories
means
that
we
get
gracious
story
heights.
Someone
might
look
55
feet
and
say:
oh,
the
building
code
only
requires
sealing
seven
foot,
six
tall
I'm
going
to
squeeze
in
one
extra
story
in
there,
which
would
be
a
terrible
outcome.
A
It
generates
cheap
space
and
it's
typically
deemed
low
quality,
especially
if
we
were
to
go
around
and
talk
to
the
artist.
What
did
I
like
in
their
space?
They
like
big
high
ceilings
and
lots
of
light,
so
these
are
possibly
tall
building
of
55
story
at
sorry
55
feet,
but
within
that
only
four
stories,
so
it
allows
for
a
tall
ground
floor
for
retail
purposes,
and
the
other
floors
can
also
be
taller
than
normal.
A
If
the
applicant
chooses
light
industrial
uses,
if
they
get
developed
in
this
zone,
are
allowed
to
be
only
24
feet
in
height
and
two
stories.
Sorry
two
stories
is
the
minimum
height
for
all
uses
and
for
industrial
uses
it
would
be
one
story
at
24
feet,
so
a
building
as
tall
as
a
two-story
building,
but
for
industrial
it
would
only
be
required
to
be
a
single
story.
The
final
piece
is
street,
facing
building
length
so
along
the
primary
street,
where
we've
made
the
building
wide.
A
If
you
have
a
very
long,
very
large
parcel
you'll
have
to
put
two
buildings
on
it,
because
each
building
can
only
be
two
hundred
feet
long
and
just
to
give
you
some
perspective,
a
small
downtown
block
is
200
feet.
So
it's
a
building
as
big
as
a
downtown
block.
It's
not
exactly
a
tiny
little
thing,
but
we
don't
want
it
much
much
longer
than
that.
We
need
access
back
to
parking
back
behind.
A
We
need
to
feel
as
though
the
buildings
are
broken
up
along
the
street
and
therefore
there'll
be
a
number
in
each
of
them
that
covers
that
building
mass
question.
So
the
final
piece
in
each
district
is
about
the
public
realm,
and
so,
for
example,
here
are
the
transparency
settings
the
amount
of
blank
wall
and
the
amount
of
glass?
This
is
the
area
that
would
have
the
highest
glass,
because
these
are
the
shop
fronts
pulled
right
up
to
the
street.
A
We
want
you
looking
in
at
what's
going
on,
that's
what
makes
for
the
kind
of
vibrancy
and
activity
along
the
street
edge.
We
set
story
height
here
as
well,
for
the
ground
story
taller
for
the
upper
stories,
not
quite
as
tall
the
tall
ground
story
has
to
do
with
being
able
to
put
high-quality
retail
spaces
in
those
areas,
so
12
feet
for
the
ground
story
for
the
retail
and
nine
feet
above
for
office
or
residential
that
might
be
in
upper
stories.
A
A
It
sorry
50
feet
from
the
edge
of
your
building
or,
if
you
have
a
very
long
building
from
the
next
entrance,
so
you
could
have
a
hundred
foot
long
building
with
the
entrance
right
in
the
center
right
or
if
you
had
150
foot
long
building
you'd
need
two
entrances
kind
of
50
feet
each.
In
order
to
break
that
up,
what
that
does
is
make
sure
we
get
at
least
some
articulation
in
the
facade
we
get
different
entrances
for
different
uses.
A
It
helps
break
up
the
spaces
and
you'll
see
this
one
is
set
the
lowest
because
these
retail
areas
have
the
smallest
spaces
in
them.
Typically,
whereas
some
of
the
other
zones
are
going
to
have
75
or
100
feet
for
that
spacing
in
between
doors,
there
are
allowed
building
elements,
none
of
them
required,
but
arcades
awnings,
canopies,
balconies
and
Stoops
are
all
allowed
on
a
building
in
this
zone.
There
are
the
building.
A
Setbacks
are
replicated
simply
because
we
have
drawn
them
on
the
image
here
and
then
there
are
other
streetscape
requirements,
an
eight-foot
sidewalk
or
a
6-foot
sidewalk
on
a
side
street,
a
6-foot
planting
strip
and
a
tree
lawn
or
trees.
Ingrates
along
the
street
place
30
feet
apart
on
average
now
in
certain
cases,
and
it
could
be
that
Roberts
Street
is
a
good
example
of
this.
The
area
is
so
narrow
already
that
we're
never
going
to
get
this
streetscape
in
there.
A
So
there
is
this
little
asterisk
with
the
streetscape
that
says,
modified
dimensions
may
be
approved
by
the
city
traffic
engineer.
So
it's
an
opportunity
to
work
with
the
city
and
try
to
determine
what
the
priorities
for
fitting
this
streetscape
into
something
less
than
the
whole.
If
you
don't
have
room
enough
for
that
whole
streetscape
and
in
these
redevelopment
settings
this
might
be
fairly
frequent.
When
you
find
you're
doing
a
completely
new
building
on
a
quite
large
site,
then
this
won't
be
an
issue
at
all:
you'll
be
able
to
meet
the
standards.
A
So
that's
what
each
of
the
district's
look
like:
I'm,
not
going
to
walk
you
through
all
of
them,
but
I
would
like
to
walk
you
through
some
of
the
additional
elements
of
the
code.
Land
use
is
one
of
the
next
things
and
it's
important
to
note.
That
use
here
is
a
very
large
table
and
it
has
a
number
of
named
uses,
but
if
a
new
use
comes
along
that
we
haven't
got
in
the
table
or
that
nobody's
ever
heard
of
before.
A
I
still
remember
when
I
first
heard
about
an
auto
spa,
I
had
no
idea
what
that
was
turns
out.
It
was
just
a
car
wash
so
we
had
car
wash
in
the
table,
but
we
could
make
an
interpretation
that
auto
spa
was
a
car
wash
right.
That's
something
you
do
at
the
staff
level.
It
can
be
appealed
if
someone
feels
you
got
it
wrong.
Those
interpretations
about
uses
can
be
made,
and
this
set
of
requirements
is
a
set
of
things
that
help
the
administrator
of
the
ordinance
think
about
the
interpretation
of
uses.
A
So
things
like
the
customer
type,
the
amount
of
sales
for
various
uses,
the
building
and
site
arrangement,
the
hours
of
operation
all
of
those
help.
You
know
whether
something
similar
to
something
else.
In
addition,
there
is
a
small
set
of
prohibited
uses.
These
are
all
carried
over
from
the
existing
river
district.
We've
just
said
if
they
were
prohibited
before,
let's
prohibit
them
again,
slaughter
houses
asphalt
plants-
these
are
the
most
heavy
of
the
heavy
industrial
uses
which,
even
in
the
former
river
district
weren't
allowed,
then
there's
a
little
discussion
of
how
accessory
uses
work.
A
A
So-
and
this
is
what
the
use
table
looks
like
these-
are
the
districts
across
the
top,
where
add
one
through
nine,
that
there
are
categories
here:
residential
public
and
institutional,
recreational,
food,
beverage
and
entertainment,
lodging
retail
service
and
office
and
industrial
and
finally,
some
other
some
miscellaneous
pieces
added
on
the
end,
so
that
use
table
will
tell
you
whether
you're
a
p,
a
permitted
use.
That
means
go
to
the
counter,
get
your
permit.
A
Basically,
whether
you
are
an
S
permitted,
subject
to
specific
standards
that
are
set
out
in
the
code
and
I'll
show
you
an
example
of
those
in
a
minute,
but
still
allowed
by
right,
provided
you
meet
these
additional
standards
or
finally
conditional
use.
This
is
the
CU
p
that
goes
to
right
now
to
the
city
council
for
consideration.
These
are
things
that
were
not
really
sure
fit
when
they
need
to
look
at
the
siding
and
the
adjacencies
and
see
whether
it's
appropriate
to
use
that
use
there.
A
Some
are
in
the
current
zoning
code,
they're
linking
back
to
the
old
code,
and
some
are
specific
to
this
area
and
they're
found
here
so,
for
example,
parking
decks
garages
or
structures
have
a
set
of
specific
uses,
talking
about
screening
of
the
parking
structure
and
how
their
entries
have
to
function.
So
those
are
additional
rules.
You
still
get
to
have
it
by
right,
but
you
have
to
follow
these
additional
rules
for
the
parking
structure
beyond
the
rule
that
you've
already
seen
right.
So
this
is
an
example
of
specific
standards
for
use.
A
A
It
shows
how
much
vehicle
parking
and
how
much
bicycle
parking
is
allowed
for
each
kind
of
use,
and
these
are
somewhat
relaxed
standards,
but
because
we
have
parking
issues
here,
you'll
find
that
there
still
are
some
parking
requirements,
unlike
the
downtown
where
we
exempt
people
from
these
parking
ratios,
and
we
only
tell
them
how
to
design
their
parking
lot
here.
Many
of
the
uses
still
have
parking
requirements.
There's
information
about
how
bicycle
parking
is
accommodated
in
here.
A
There's
vehicle
loading
requirements
in
this
section,
there's
a
small
section
on
landscaping
and
screening.
Again
much
of
the
landscaping
is
in
the
regular
zoning
ordinance,
and
so
this
points
back
there.
But
in
addition,
then,
we
have
set
a
buffer
which
is
really
a
boundary
buffer
on
the
outside
edges
of
the
river
arts
district.
If
we
have
our
more
intense
things
there,
like
commercial
uses
that
might
sit
across
from
new
belgium
brewing
on
the
back
side
of
that
they'll
have
to
buffer
against
the
adjacent
neighborhood.
A
A
There
is
a
sign
code
for
the
downtown,
but
the
sign
types
that
allows
are
much
too
intense
to
be
allowed
in
this
specific
area,
and
so
each
of
the
sign
types
are
shown
here
in
which
districts
they're
allowed
in
and
then
the
rules
for
each
sign
type
are
on
the
following
pages
and
they're
for
the
most
part
rules
about
the
dimensions
etc
of
the
signs.
One
thing
we
discovered
today
in
talking
about
it
that
no
one
quite
knew
that
will
be
more
flexible
if
this
sign
code
is
adopted.
A
Is
that
the
projecting
sign
that
you
see
here,
which
is
allowed
to
be
up
to
nine
square
feet?
Three
foot
by
three
foot
that
projecting
sign
is,
in
my
mind
a
freebie.
Every
entrance
to
your
building
can
have
a
projecting
sign.
So,
for
example,
we
were
talking
about
the
pink
pink
dog
and
Doug
did
I
get
that
right.
Thank
you.
Close
counts
that
pink
place
with
all
the
pictures
on
it.
They
have
lots
of
external
doors
that
are
artists,
studio
spaces
that
today
are
not
allowed
to
have
signage,
because
the
signage
is
for
the
building.
A
Only
so
in
this
case,
projecting
signs
are
allowed
in
addition
to
the
wall
signage
on
other
elements,
because
we
find
them
to
be
an
excellent,
excellent
part
of
pedestrian
wayfinding
when
I
walk
down
the
street.
The
most
useful
thing
in
the
world
is
a
projecting
sign
like
this.
It's
not
focused
on
the
automobile
traffic,
although
they
may
get
some
benefit
from
it.
It's
really
focused
on
the
pedestrians.
A
So
there
is
a
full
sign
code
in
here
with
a
variety
of
types
of
signs
and
included
at
the
back.
End
of
that
is
a
set
of
rules
about
illuminating
signs
to
make
sure
that
we
get
signs
that
remain
in
character
here
there
are
options
to
to
like
these
signs
and
whether
their
internal
are
externally.
Illuminated
is
set
aside
their
by
sign
type,
so
each
of
the
sign
types
can
either
be
internally
or
externally
illuminated
or
both
there
is
a
final
section
on
outdoor
display
in
storage.
A
This
is
important,
because
outdoor
display
is
the
idea
that
you
bring
something
out
of
your
shop
and
you
show
it
off
during
the
day
and
at
night
it
goes
back
inside
that's
outdoor
display.
On
the
other
hand,
if
you've
got
a
big
something
that
you
leave
outside
all
the
time,
that's
outdoor
storage
right,
so
we
want
to
regulate
both,
but
we
want
to
have
a
fairly
light
touch
on
these
things.
A
The
final
thing
here
is
just
a
few
definitions
and
some
loyally
language
that
lets.
You
know
that,
if
the
graphic
conflicts
with
the
text
or
the
photograph
conflicts
with
the
text,
the
text
controls
that
makes
the
lawyers
very
happy.
So
there's
a
lot
of
pictures
and
diagrams
in
here,
but
in
the
end,
it's
the
text.
That
is
the
most
meaningful
element.
If
we
ever
have
an
interpretation
or
or
we
have
to
go
to
court.
So
you've
just
been
introduced
to
the
entire
form
based
code
for
the
river
arts
district.
A
What
we'd
like
to
do
now
is
we'd
actually
liked
it.
We're
set
up
in
the
lobby
with
a
bunch
of
the
maps
and
a
bunch
of
copies
of
the
code
and
we'd
like
to
talk
to
you
there
more
one-on-ones
that
you
can
ask
questions
about
your
specific
property,
so
we're
going
to
step
outside
to
the
hallway.
There
are
a
whole
series
of
planners
I'll
be
out
there
for
a
little
bit,
and-
and
we
can
talk
about
this
before
you
leave,
there's
a
little
comment
card
out
there.
We
would
love
to
get
some
little
written
comments.
