Developing a strategy for defining and protecting the Core is essential to maintaining the residents’ cultural connection to the city’s history as well as their neighborhood identity as a “funky,” creative, and diverse place to live, work and play.” ALTHOUGH THE DESIGN TEAM IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DETERMINING THE SPECIFIC EXPRESSION OF EACH OF THE BUILDINGS, WE HAVE BEGUN TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR SET OF DESIGN GOALS FOR THE SITE. DRAWING HEAVILY FROM COMMUNITY INPUT GATHERED DURING THE R/UDAT WORKSHOP HELD EARLIER THIS YEAR, A NUMBER OF DESIGN PRIORITIES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED: NEIGHBORHOOD INTEGRATION THE PROJECT WILL BE RESPONSIVE TO THE EXISTING SCALE, MASSING, AND LAND USES IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WILL BUILD UPON THE ECLECTIC AND CREATIVE SPIRIT VALUED BY THE NORTHEASTERN NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS. THE MAJORITY OF THE PARKING WILL BE PLACED IN AN UNDERGROUND GARAGE TO MINIMIZE ITS IMPACT, AND TO PROMOTE A PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED AND BIKEFRIENDLY COMMUNITY. DIVERSITY THE SITE MUST PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF HOUSING OPTIONS FOR THE RESIDENTS, AND MUST RESPECT THE COMMUNITY’S DESIRE TO HAVE HOUSING THAT IS AFFORDABLE AND ATTAINABLE BY MIDDLEINCOME LOCAL RESIDENTS. THE DEVELOPMENT MUST BE TRULY MIXEDUSE; BRINGING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES WITH NEW OFFICES AND MAKER SPACES, HOUSING OPTIONS FOR RESIDENTS OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE, AND MUCH NEEDED COMMUNITY AMENITIES AND OPEN SPACES. CHARACTER THE DESIGN OF THE SITE AND BUILDINGS WILL ENHANCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD; PROVIDING A CONTEMPORARY TAKE ON MATERIALS AND FORMS ALREADY PRESENT AND FAMILIAR IN NEARBY HOMES AND BUSINESSES. SUSTAINABILITY THE SITE WILL BE DEVELOPED TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY, ECONOMICALLY, AND SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE. WE ARE CURRENTLY PURSUING SITEWIDE LEED NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATION, AND ARE COMMITTED TO PRACTICAL AND PROGRESSIVE GREEN BUILDING PRACTICES. THE OFFICE SPACE AND WORKSHOPS WILL OFFER NEW AND EXPANDED OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES; WHILE THE COMMUNITY ROOMS, OPEN SPACES, AND OVERALL INTEGRATION OF RESIDENTIAL, PRODUCTION, AND BUSINESS USES WILL SUPPORT A VIBRANT, CREATIVE, AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY FOR YEARS TO COME.

COTTONWOOD + IDA PUD CONCEPT SUBMITTAL || NOVEMBER, 2017 page 14 PUBLIC AND RESIDENT AMENITIES THE PROJECT WILL OFFER A VARIETY OF AMENITIES. SOME OF THESE SPACES, SUCH AS THE ROOF DECK, BIKE WORKSHOP, AND DOG WASH, WILL BE USED ONLY BY THE RESIDENTS. OTHERS SPACES, SUCH AS THE PLAZA, THE COMMUNITY BUILDING, AND THE ACTIVE COTTONWOOD FRONTAGE WILL BE SHARED WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. THE OUTDOOR PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACES OFFER PEDESTRIAN PATHS THROUGH THE SITE AS WELL, PROVIDING A SPACE FOR STREET LIFE TO WEAVE ITS WAY THROUGH THE BLOCK.

THE INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS WILL HOST SPECIFIC APARTMENT TYPES THAT WILL LIKELY ATTRACT DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS, WHILE THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES WILL PROVIDE SOCIAL SPACES FOR THEM TO MIX. AT THE SAME TIME, THE PROVISION OF MAKER AND OFFICE SPACES WILL ALLOW FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF A LIVE WORK LIFESTYLE. BUILDING 1 WILL CONTAIN PRIMARILY TYPICAL STUDIOS AND 1BEDROOM APARTMENTS. THE BUILDING WILL ALSO ACCOMMODATE MOST OF THE RESIDENT AMENITY SPACES: ROOF DECK, PACKAGE ROOM, BIKE WORKSHOP, DOG WASH, ETC. BUILDING 2 WILL BE DEDICATED TO SMALLER STUDIOS AND EFFICIENCY UNITS. THESE “MICROUNITS” WILL BE PROVIDED WITH GENEROUS COMMON KITCHENS, LIVING ROOMS, HOME OFFICE SPACES, AND DINING ROOMS TO ENABLE COLIVING ARRANGEMENTS. BUILDING 3 IS MADE UP OF 6 BUILDINGS THAT WILL BE SUBDIVIDED INTO 12 MODEST 2BEDROOM TOWNHOUSESTYLE UNITS. BUILDING 4 WILL MAKE UP THE MOST URBAN EDGE OF THE PROJECT, AND CONSIST OF GROUND FLOOR LIVEWORK UNITS BEHIND THE SIDEWALK MAKERSPACE WORKSHOPS. THE UNITS ON LEVEL 2 AND 3 WILL BE 1 AND 2BEDROOM TOWNHOUSE / LOFT UNITS.
