REVITALIZING DOWNTOWNS & HISTORIC PLACES Dover, Kohl & Partners was founded in 1987. Our expertise lies in balancing the visionary ‘civic art’ of planning with the practical consensus building needed to make projects succeed. We are trained in the principles of traditional town planning and architecture and have perfected techniques for gathering meaningful community input. Our plans focus on traditional neighborhood design and smart growth, emphasizing that there does not have to be a trade-off between livability and economic prosperity. The principles of the New Urbanism form the basis of DoverKohl’s design philosophy. Dover-Kohl has worked for many public agencies, developers, and citizen groups to create appropriate methods of land development and regulation. We have led over 200 charrettes during the last decade, working collaboratively with our clients, multidisciplinary team members, and community stakeholders in a hands-on, visual manner.

PROJECT EXECUTION PLAN Designing in Public
The following summarizes a general approach that Dover, Kohl & Partners has developed over our nearly 30 years leading town planning and urban design efforts, which can be tailored to the needs of each individual project. We are aware that each project presents unique opportunities and challenges; customization is the key. Our unique “Designing in Public� approach yields a hands-on, immersive and visual experience, using techniques that merge design studio, policy-making, and town meetings. We adapt our techniques and planning methods to create a useful plan and workable implementation strategy. Dover-Kohl provides design consultation, drawings, exhibits, and participation in meetings with stakeholders, and public groups and entities as necessary toward developing each community’s particular vision. We are eager to discuss how our techniques can be applied to the Community Development Plan for the Dallas Arts District.

GENERAL APPROACH
A Public Process
Recognizing that changes in the built environment are controversial, community involvement is an integral component of all our projects, as we’ve found that education and a shared sense of authorship is key to creating consensus. The Dover-Kohl team has perfected numerous techniques in building community consensus and helping communities establish an implementable plan. The “Designing in Public� Charrette is the centerpiece of our public involvement strategy. The Charrette focuses community input over a short period of time, through the hands-on effort of participants representing the full spectrum of interests.
CONSENSUS THROUGH PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Compelling Plans & Visualizations
Successful Results
We begin with visual presentations designed to create a clearer understanding and awareness of community issues. Community members with varied interests then work side by side in groups to formulate plan goals, and to present their ideas and maps to the other groups. This workshop setting provides members of the community a special opportunity to share and better understand concerns from other perspectives. This technique is We then use the results to evolve the vision and plan over the following days in an on-site planning studio. Throughout the week the community’s goals are pursued while ideas and scenarios are tested. At the same time, the community is invited into the studio to offer continual feedback on the work being produced. It’s been our experience that through these comprehensive charrettes, participants come to care more enough the educational value of this approach. Citizens become familiar with the tools of good urban design and gain an appreciation of the importance of long-range thinking. The Charrette is not our only outreach mechanism. Dover-Kohl !

Our team will conduct additional community meetings and interviews, both during the pre-charrette or post-charrette periods. We also have experience using numerous online forums to continue the conversation throughout the project. Techniques used for previous projects include online polling, interactive mapping, as well as active Facebook and Twitter conversations to keep the community involved.
VISUALIZING CHANGE $ # % % Change is easier to accomplish and more believable (acceptable) when we know what to expect – a picture truly is worth a thousand words! In our process we create many drawings and "before-andafter" sequences that can help the community study the options, visualizing change before it occurs.
AN INTEGRATED PLAN Fully detailed, the Community Development Plan will describe the future growth pattern for the study area. We will illustrate long-term goals for the community such as urban design for buildings, public spaces, and streets. The Plan will break into natural phases; a "changeover-time" sequence can depict the near-term and longer-horizon improvements.
REFORMING THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Design does matter; well-executed details are often what make % + : tuning regulations or to create other instruments to insure that the physical details of the Plan are translated into the built reality. Dover, Kohl & Partners has created numerous Form-based Codes and Design Standards to assist in the implementation of plans. The key is to regulate buildings, streets, and public spaces to ensure that new buildings respect the character of existing neighborhood and the community vision for future development through their individual volume, scale and detailing.
STREET DESIGN: THE SECRET TO GREAT CITIES AND TOWNS This year Victor Dover and John Massengale completed work on their new textbook Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns. Over the past three years, Victor and John have traveled across the US, Europe and Central America to compile research for the book, amassing a collection of over 15,000 photographs and measurements of hundreds of compelling examples, including historic, retrofitted, and new streets. Writing the book has helped the Dover-Kohl team reach a new understanding of the possibilities for streets in American cities in modern times. We understand how to preserve local distinctiveness and a sense of place while also enhancing usability for all modes of travel – pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit users – and creating great addresses. We’re sure we can apply practical lessons learned in the Dallas Arts District.

The Project
Central Park created on relocated rail lines
In 2010 the City of El Paso commissioned Dover, Kohl & Partners to create a detailed Comprehensive Plan and regional-scale Future Land Use Map for the city. The Comprehensive Plan is an overarching policy document that directs the City of El Paso in its implementation of consensus-based goals created through an extensive public process. The goals, objectives, and strategies of the plan involve all aspects of City administration and community life: land use, urban design, historic preservation, economic development, housing, transportation, health, sustainability, infrastructure, public facilities and services, international coordination, and Fort Bliss Army Base relations. Dover-Kohl leads a project team that includes Spikowski Planning Associates, Charlier Associates, Hall Planning and Engineering, Sottile and Sottile Architects, Chael, Cooper & Associates, Urban Advisors, Zimmerman/ Volk Associates, IPS Group, Mind Mixer Web Solutions, CEA Group, W-ZHA Economics, UrbanAdvantage, Matrix Environmental, and The Street Plans Collaborative.
The Process Neighborhood park
The Plan El Paso Comprehensive Plan process was interactive and bilingual, and included two three-week charrettes in multiple areas throughout the city. During the charrettes, the team was able to talk to over 800 studio visitors, meeting attendees, and hands-on participants. Over 20,000 people followed the project on its website or took part in online conversations and polling in the project’s virtual town hall. Newspaper, television, and web coverage of the project was extensive. The project was used as a case study in the national discussion on placemaking and city planning by the National Resource Defence Council.
Plan Principles
Arroyos used as public open space Cities and neighborhoods are defined in large part by the quantity and quality of their parks and open spaces. The plan recommends public parks at all scales. A range of open space types is needed to meet the City’s diverse recreational, environmental, and social needs.
3.3
Plan principles included developing multiple centers within the city, protecting the growing metropolis’ agricultural and natural landscapes, reclaiming marginal and abandoned areas near the heart of the city as infill opportunities, creating a framework of transportation alternatives, utilizing historic preservation as an economic development tool, creating a range of open spaces throughout the city, and coordinating transportation, recreation, public services, and community institutions to increase the city’s tax base hand-in-hand with an increased quality of life of residents. Plan principles form the basis of the multi-element Comprehensive Plan.
Status On March 6, 2012, Plan El Paso was adopted by unanimous vote of the El Paso City Council. The EPA awarded Plan El Paso a 2011 National Award for Smart Growth Excellence in Programs, Policies, and Regulations. The EPA grants this award yearly to "recognize exceptional approaches to development that respect the environment, foster economic vitality, and enhance quality of life."

A City Connected by Transit The Rapid Transit System Plan for El Paso is part of a coordinated effort toward increasing transit ridership and stimulating economic development in urban locations. The City plans four Rapid Transit System (RTS) lines which will connect the primary vehicular corridors, including the Mesa Corridor, the Dyer Corridor, the Alameda Corridor, and the Montana Corridor. A number of transfer stations have recently been constructed, providing convenient, sheltered transportation hubs. The plan calls for new 60-foot buses, raised platforms that will be level with the height of the buses, and a ticketing system for riders to prepay their fares, allowing quicker entry onto the buses. To cut travel time and increase efficiency, rapid-transit stations will be placed about a mile apart along each corridor so there will be fewer stops for the buses. Plans also call for traffic signal prioritization, which would hold green lights longer if a bus was approaching an intersection.
The success of the RTS system will hinge on the quality of urban spaces that surround the bus stops and transfer stations. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is a design and development strategy that links higher-density, walkable neighborhoods to transit stations. TOD strengthens the urban fabric that surrounds public transportation with a mix of daily uses, including housing, retail, and offices. This strategy acknowledges that most transit riders begin and end their trips as pedestrians, and that the streets around transit stations should be safe, interesting, and convenient places to walk. The team created illustrative plans for over 22 square miles of the City, focusing on TOD locations to demonstrate pedestrian-friendly, mixeduse design. The plan anticipates that RTS will be the start of a mass-transit system that could one day include light rail and streetcars. It is the goal of the El Paso City Council that El Paso become one of the least car-dependent cities in the southwest.

DOWNTOWN PATHWAY & CREATIVE KIDS WORKSHOP
View of the pathway being utilized as an event space for the Convention Center
Downtown El Paso has been experiencing a renaissance of revitalization efforts, new development, and enhanced Sun Metro transportation efforts. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on downtown has led numerous civic institutions to locate Downtown creating a cultural and arts district that includes the Museum of History, the Library, Insights: El Paso Science Museum, Museum of Art, Pioneer Plaza, Plaza Theatre, and the Convention Center. In addition, the Union Plaza District, established in 1996, has become one of the premier night time entertainment districts within the City. Although the Arts District and the Union Plaza District are adjacent to one another, the Convention Center creates a barrier between the two centers of activity. The Museum and Cultural Affairs Department (MCAD) teamed with Creative Kids to pursue a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in order to create a
plan to reconnect the Union Plaza District and the Arts District with a new pedestrian path. This new Downtown Pathway will be located between Durango Street and Santa Fe Street and between the railroad tracks and the Convention Center. The area has been used as parking for the Chamber of Commerce and vehicular access to the back side of the convention center but is typically closed off to pedestrians. MCAD and Creative Kids brought in Dover, Kohl & Partners to work with Creative Kids students, local artists, and the public to design the pathway. DoverKohl was assisted by Natalie Ruiz of IPS Group, a > ? + # and Deborah Hradek, a local landscape architect from SITES Southwest. The team led a public workshop December 2nd through the 6th, 2011.

New buildings on Columbia Pike following the Plan and Code
The Project Existing conditions in the Central Pike area (2011)
Proposed public improvements include the planned streetcar, generous planting areas for street trees, and a wide sidewalk.
In 1998, Arlington County and the community-based Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization (CPRO) embarked on a planning process called the Columbia Pike Initiative to encourage revitalization and build a safer, cleaner, more competitive, and vibrant Columbia Pike community. Initial planning efforts focused on the commercial centers, called the Revitalization District Nodes. During an extensive public charrette process led by Dover-Kohl in 2002, over 700 citizens, along with local stakeholders and the design team, studied four specific areas along the corridor. The Revitalization District FormBased Code is the result of this effort which sets forth the community’s long-range vision to create a competitive and vibrant corridor and urban center. The Plan and Code have unlocked development potential, and public and private reinvestment (including the first mixed-use development projects in over 40 years) is helping to transform the Pike. In June 2011, Dover-Kohl led a team of consultants in a second phase of planning to create a community-based master plan for the residential areas surrounding the mixed-use nodes, called the Neighborhoods Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to guide future public and private investment decisions to implement community goals such as enhancing the quality of life along the corridor, creating a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly community, supporting the planned streetcar investment coming to the Pike, and, importantly, sustaining a supply of housing to serve a community with a broad mix of incomes. A new Form-Based Code was created specifically to implement these Plan goals, which includes standards for walkable urban form and provisions for the creation of new affordbale housing. Dover, Kohl & Partners led a consultant team which included Ferrell Madden Associates and UrbanAdvantage (phases 1 and 2); VOA Associates (phase 1); Partners for Economic Solutions and AECOM (phase 2).
Status The Arlington County Board unanimously approved the Columbia Pike Form-Based Code in February 2003. At that time, Arlington County was one of the first jurisdictions in the nation to apply a formbased code to revitalize existing older sectors, and among the largest application of form-based codes in the country. The evolution from suburban strip to street-oriented urbanism with each new infill building was chronicled in the publication Retrofitting Suburbia by Ellen Dunham-Jones. The Columbia Pike Neighborhoods Area Plan was adopted unanimously by the Arlington County Board on July 23, 2012; the accompanying Form-Based Code was approved in November 2013. The Columbia Pike Initiative was awarded the 2014 CNU Charter Award for Best Corridor Plan. Residential areas along the Pike will differ in character from the mixed-use nodes, with streetoriented buildings placed behind a small dooryard.

Visualizing change through charrette planning
Columbia Pike
Above: Plan and rendering depicting the transition from existing single family homes (foreground) to buildings of a greater intensity proposed along the Pike.
An important element of planning for the Pike corridor has been visualizing change through illustrative plans and renderings that apply Plan goals to actual streets, properties, and public spaces. Created as part of the charrette process, community members used these images to evaluate if the goals illustrated were appropriate to achieve their vision and gave quality feedback. This process helped to define priorities, evaluate alternatives, and refine Plan ideas. The Form-Based Codes for both the mixed-use nodes and surrounding residential neighborhoods were informed by these illustrations and give predictability to the built results.

The Project The purpose of this planning effort was to engage the Lansing region in defining a unified vision for the Michigan Avenue / Grand River Avenue corridor, starting at the State Capitol and extending east to the town of Webberville. A series of charrettes provided the opportunity for an in-depth community conversation about the future urban form of the corridor, resulting in a consensusbased vision for urban design, land use, transportation, and economic development.
Future Streetscape with BRT
This corridor has a rich history; a congressionally-designated auto heritage zone, the first autos were built and tested on this road. Today, the corridor acts as the economic engine of the region, home to important businesses and institutions including Michigan State University, and is often described to as "Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street". In May of 2013, the first charrette was held to establish a preliminary vision for the future of the corridor. Hundreds of participants gave their input at public meetings and at the on-site design studio, describing how they would like to see the corridor evolve. The planning team consolidated these many ideas into plan "cornerstones", or big ideas to guide future change and growth. In October 2013, a second charrette was held to study three specific areas in greater detail, and illustrate how the cornerstones could be applied to specific sites throughout the corridor. Dover, Kohl & Partners served as the urban design / charrette facilitation consultant to the National Charrette Institute. Other team members included UrbanAdvantage, Strategic Economics, Parsons Brinckerhoff, and Mead & Hunt, Inc. Administered by the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, this planning effort is a project of the Midâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Michigan Program for Greater Sustainability, a sustainable communities program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and other local partners.

Cornerstones of the Vision
Future Redevelopment & Streetscape Improvements
Restore the balance of transportation & placemaking Michigan Avenue / Grand River Avenue is an important corridor for moving people and cars but it also has the dual purpose of providing unique settings for businesses, institutions and homes. The physical design of the corridor should balance transportation functionality with establishing "sense of place" to create a corridor that is not only functional but also memorable and uniquely Lansing.
Create distinct, character-rich places, linked by transit
Existing (2013)
In the future, traversing the 19-mile corridor should reveal a sequence of distinct settlements, each with their own character and feel. This "string of pearls", each a gem in its own right, will be linked by an enhanced transit system to make it easy to move from one to the next.
Protect rural views & reinforce historic towns Along the eastern corridor, the memorable sequence of town-and-country with long views across open fields interrupted by the historic towns of Williamston and Webberville should be protected for future generations; this includes strengthening land preservation policies, focusing new development in strategic locations, and ensuring the character of development is complimentary with each town’s fabric.
Fill in vacant lots with street-oriented designs During the charrette, participants spoke about "dead zones" where the vitality and activity of the corridor dropped off, primarily due to vacant lots. When these lots are filled in, the design of buildings should reinforce a "street-oriented" urban form, which includes buildings with doors and windows providing active uses along the street, and parking / service activities located to the rear.
Existing (2013)
Unlock private investment: smart rules, improvements Public improvements (such as transit enhancements and street trees / beautification) can give property owners the confidence needed to make additional investments to their own properties. Creating smart rules which prescribe the desired physical form for new development can play a key role in ensuring future improvements follow the community’s vision.
Rethink suburban strip into memorable town centers Strip shopping centers typify the central portion of the corridor. As new options for mobility (walking, biking, and transit) become more prevalent, these generic, auto-oriented uses can be re-imagined as authentic town centers which strengthen the corridor’s identity.
Short Term - Initial Infill
Make it all walkable and bikeable by design The desire to making walking and biking easier and safer was heard often during the charrette week. Every new improvement: to streets, buildings, and public open spaces, should consider walking and biking foremost in the design. Sidewalks and trails, street trees, awnings and other shading devices, on-street parking, and dedicated bicycle facilities should all be part of the mix.

Before Existing view of Hull Street in Manchester, one of Richmond’s historic industrial districts.
The Project Downtown Richmond is shaped by countless forces that have produced an extraordinarily historic, physically stunning city. However, much of the recent development activity has occurred in the outlying counties and suburbs, draining capital away from the heart of the city. The City of Richmond hired Dover, Kohl & Partners to create a plan to recapture development potential and channel it into the historic center, thus legitimating its title as "Virginia’s Downtown." Dover-Kohl teamed with Hall Planning and Engineering, Rhodeside & Harwell, Urban Advantage, ZHA, Inc, and Zimmerman/Volk Associates to create the Plan.
The Process After Photo-realistic view of Hull Street after Plan implementation, including streetscape improvements, private investment, and public transportation.
Over 800 citizens and stakeholders joined Dover-Kohl and a team of experts in discussing housing, transportation planning, parks, and economic development in a seven-day charrette. The resulting Master Plan reflects the range of community brainstorming and design input, which will ultimately guide growth and ensure quality development.
Plan Principles The Master Plan is both a physical plan to guide appropriate development and a policy document to serve as a blueprint for action. Guiding principles include preserving the traditional city; providing greater connections to the James River; encouraging appropriate urban architecture; making a ‘greener’ Downtown; and promoting the city’s historic past. Additionally, the Plan outlines numerous incremental capital improvements such as converting one-way streets to two-way travel, planting and maintaining street trees, improving pedestrian/cyclist facilities and preparing a preliminary design for a streetcar system.
Status Empty lots and parking lots are filled in with buildings making the downtown feel more complete.

The Master Plan was unanimously approved by the City Council in October 2008. In March 2009, the Plan was awarded the Outstanding Plan Award from the American Planning Association, Virginia Chapter.

The Project Lubbock sits in Northwest Texas and its downtown core and adjacent neighborhoods have struggled for decades to recover from a devastating direct blow from an F5 tornado that struck in 1970. The large downtown and adjacent neighborhoods feature high vacancy levels and noticeable gaps in the urban fabric. The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce initiated the Imagine Lubbock Together Vision and Strategic Plan project to create a plan for focused efforts to reinvigorate the downtown core and surroundings, coupled with recommendations to increase Citywide coordination between various governmental, business and citizen groups to generate future physical improvements, economic prosperity and greater quality of life. Supporting long term policy goals with physical improvement plans to help focus limited available resources into specific, concise, quickly implementable projects would be key. The Lubbock Design Charrette took place from November 30 to December 5, 2013. Its purpose was to provide "what if" visualizations of five focus areas: A Downtown site, the intersection of MLK Jr. Boulevard & Parkway Drive, MLK Jr. Boulevard & Broadway, the industrial area north of Canyon Lake #3, and the intersection of highway 27 & Regis Street.

The Lubbock Design Charrette was part of the extensive overall Imagine Lubbock Together Vision and Strategic Plan process which was highly inclusive, featuring 20 public events in 2012 and 2013 with over 1,900 citizens participants. Over 1,250 comments and over 500 ideas were received from almost 8,000 people who visited the project website and public events. Over 800 participants attended the Vision Summit at the start of the six-day Design Charrette.
Think Big, but Start Small. Long term goals for the future prosperity of the entire City were coupled with very implementable physical goals such as: The creation of a beautified Northwest Gateway entrance sequence to Lubbock for visitors arriving from the airport. A new one-block long public space in an existing downtown street that will establish a signature destination from which future downtown improvements can grow.

DESIGN AND PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH We believe that design is the missing element in much of contemporary town planning, and our work centers on re-introducing form and design into master plans and land development regulations. Change and growth can make things better rather than worse. Each generation inherits in the built and natural environment a legacy and responsibility; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re charged with managing change so that ecology, economy and culture are sustained and advanced. The keys to this are straightforward: First, to adhere to the lessons in reliable precedents, and second, to treat each planning decision as an important part in a cumulative chain of events.

As charter members of the Congress for New Urbanism, “we view disinvestment in central cities, the spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.” To meet this challenge we assist our clients in: restoring existing urban centers and towns within coherent metropolitan regions, re-configuring sprawling suburbs into communities of real neighborhoods and diverse districts, conserving natural environments, and preserving our society’s built legacy.
UNIQUE ABILITIES RELEVANT TO EXECUTION PLAN Dover, Kohl & Partners creates easy-to-understand strategies for sustainable development, specializing in plans and visualizations that focus on the physical aspects of future growth and conservation. Most of our projects include a public collaborative design process, so that future development meets the needs of the local community. Tab 1 contains our initial thoughts related to an execution plan for the Dallas Arts District Plan; this includes a collaborative approach that assimilates input from many stakeholders. Our past expertise, summarized in Tab 3, includes benchmark projects that demonstrate how we apply our design philosophy and planning approaches to fit the needs of each individual project. Additional, supplemental information, including a summary of award-winning efforts and additional projects that highlight these techniques, are included in this section.
CHARRETTE-BASED PLANNING Our process has helped communities across the country to visualize change before it occurs. Dover-Kohl’s expertise has helped to shape the planning methods taught by the National Charrette Institute (NCI); recent collaborative efforts in Fort Myers, Florida and Lansing, Michigan, have directly contributed to the current course curriculum.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN The principles of the New Urbanism form the basis of our design approach; we are known as leading proponents for sustainable neighborhood design. Our portfolio demonstrates approaches to creating walkable, mixed-use environments and connectivity, as well as integrating sustainable techniques. Victor Dover is former chair of the Congress for the New Urbanism and was the founding chair for the CNU Florida Chapter. Multiple Dover-Kohl projects have received CNU Charter Awards, including Glenwood Park in Atlanta, GA; City Plan 2025 in Fayetteville, AR; Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA; and Plan El Paso in El Paso, TX. Victor Dover was also selected to be on the Core Committee that created the standards in the LEED for Neighborhood Development initiative. The Dover-Kohl office helped throughout LEEDND’s development to test proposed standards and create graphics used in the document.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, BUILT WORK: MASTER PLAN FOR GLENWOOD PARK, ATLANTA, GA Glenwood Park, a 28-acre former industrial site located just two miles east of downtown Atlanda, was designed to be a nationally recognized model of responsible, sustainable development based around the principles of New Urbanism. The site has been transformed into a complete neighborhood featuring a traditional fine-grained mix of housing types, retail stores, office space, civic buildings, and recreational facilities. The neighborhood emphasizes the public realm and walkability with an interconnected network of pedestrian-friendly streets and green spaces. Glenwood Park, the project’s namesake, is a gathering place for the entire neighborhood, containing shade trees, a large play field, and a restored creek segment. Glenwood Park This elliptical park is the project’s namesake and is a gathering place for the entire neighborhood.
Elementary School A new on-site elementary school will help to ease overcrowding in other local schools. The new school is configured as a compact neighborhood-friendly campus, with outdoor play areas surrounded by classroom buildings.
Single-Family Homes Larger single-family lots are found at the periphery of the site, to transition to existing adjacent neighborhoods.
Apartment Buildings Larger apartment and mixed-use buildings front Glenwood Memorial Connector. Street-oriented building design, together with wide sidewalks, onstreet parking, and street trees will tame this busy thoroughfare into a trafficcalmed signature neighborhood street.
Townhomes Glenwood Park features a wide variety of housing choices, including affordable attached townhomes.
Mixed-Use Buildings Apartments and offices are located above retail storefronts.
Brasfield Square This square is central to the neighborhood’s shopping area. Brasfield Square is planted with formal rows of trees, and is fronted by multi-story mixeduse buildings.
The Plan’s sustainability and ecologically-sensitive design components have resulted in Glenwood Park being called “one of the best places in the city to live, and also one of the most environmentally sustainable in the country”, by National Resource Defense Council’s Smart Growth Program Director Kaid Benfield. Glenwood Park has received numerous awards for its resourceful land use, preservation of environmental resources, economic success, and innovative design, including the Congress for the New Urbanism Charter Award, 2003 and the Urban Land Institute Development of the Year, 2006.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STANDARDS: BRADENTON FORM-BASED CODE, BRADENTON, FL The Bradenton Form-Based Code regulates or provides design guidance on diverse topics such as urban form, architecture, landscape, thoroughfare design, sustainable technologies, public art, and stormwater management. The code began with an in-depth public process, with the intention of creating a code to implement the City’s goal of revitalization, sustainability, and preservation of community character. The project carefully considers the history and ecological structure of Bradenton. Many of the prescribed regulations take cues from existing structures and historic character, highlighting preservation as a key component of the code.

Sustainability and environmental sensitivity is also addressed extensively within the document. The Sustainability section contains provisions for urban farming, wind power, solar power, and composting, while the Stormwater Management section addresses ecological factors specific to the area. Architectural Standards provide guidance on the design of climate-responsive buildings that are authentic to Bradenton, with photographs and diagrams illustrating proper composition, details, and materials that contribute to aesthetics, durability, sustainability, and resilience to hurricanes. In 2012, the Bradenton Code won the Driehaus Award for Form-Based Codes.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN, INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS: JEAN LAFITTE TOWN RESILIENCY PLAN Jean Lafitte Tomorrow, a comprehensive resilience plan for Jean Lafitte, a small Louisiana town of just 2,000 residents, sought to create a roadmap to guide decisions related to economic, social and physical resiliency. The plan played a key role in getting Jean Lafitte’s proposed levee added to the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority’s 2012 Coastal Master Plan, while also helping the town make difficult decisions about how and where to apply the strategies of “retrofit, reinforce and retreat.” Though the creation of a resilience infrastructure plan was paramount, the project focused on total resilience: physical, economic, and social. Centers were identified for the population to relocate to in this new era of rising water and stronger storms. The centers were designed with lotlevel detail to be compact, walkable, mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly. The plan also furthers the discussion in the town (and in the state) on “water in place” management strategies and the use of more multi-modal approaches when investing in transportation.

Jean Lafitte Tomorrow was unanimously adopted by the town council in 2013. In 2014, the Congress of the New Urbanism honored Jean Lafitte Tomorrow with a Special Jury CNU Charter Award, for its extensive public process and commitment to preserving the community character of the small bayou town, along with its ecological quality. Though the creation of a resilience infrastructure plan was paramount, the project focused on total resilience: physical, economic, and social.

INTEGRATING CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE URBAN FABRIC: BICENTENNIAL PARK MASTER PLAN, MIAMI, FL Great public spaces define the image and character of mature cities. In those cities, three inherent qualities appear again and again. First, they are walkable places. Second, their streets and parks are framed by consistently interesting architecture. And third, they have generously proportioned outdoor spaces. With these three qualities in mind, Bicentennial Park presents an opportunity to create a first-quality public environment on the Downtown Miami waterfront. Dover, Kohl & Partners led a public charrette attended by close to 400 people, during which citizen planners explored scenarios for future use of the park with varying levels and types of development and public open spaces. After lengthy public debates by the Board of City Commissioners, the “Museum Park” scenario was selected, which included museums will be placed so as to define the western edges of the park and to give them prestigious addresses and prominence on Biscayne Boulevard, and a central open space for passive recreation, informal play, and special events. This vision informed a refined park master plan; a commission for the Miami Art Museum has been given to Herzog de Meuron. “Museum Park” is now an essential destination in Downtown Miami, bringing together thousands of residents and visitors on a regular basis. Although the architecture differs from the original charrette drawings, the essential principles of that vision remain as the museums will be located in the approximate locations prescribed and serve the important urban function described by Dover-Kohl plan.

COMPANY OVERVIEW
Firm Information VERDUNITY, Inc. (pronounced VUR-DOO-NI-TEE, like community) was founded in 2011 as a DFW-based, womanowned consulting firm focused on bringing perspectives together to create healthy, fiscally resilient communities. Our principals left leadership positions in national firms behind to start VERDUNITY because they saw an opportunity to help cities identify and implement low-cost, incremental solutions to address pressing infrastructure maintenance, water and place making needs. We believe the answer to many of the issues communities are facing lies in taking an approach that LQWHJUDWHV planning, engineering, urban design and municipal finance perspectives and EDODQFHV impacts on the urban and natural environments. We have intentionally assembled a passionate team of technically diverse professionals who embrace this forward-thinking approach and offer our clients a lean, results-oriented partner. Planners, developers and landscape architects have called us â&#x20AC;&#x153;engineers that get itâ&#x20AC;?, and communities looking to incorporate more placemaking, smart growth and low impact development have sought us out because of our ability to communicate these principals effectively to a broad range of stakeholders. VERDUNITY has established itself as a leader in SODQQLQJ DQG LPSOHPHQWDWLRQ RI JUHHQ LQIUDVWUXFWXUH in new development and repurposing scenarios. We have focused on the development of new tools to help communicate the economic, environmental and societal benefits of integrating appropriate green infrastructure strategies at scales ranging from individual sites to neighborhoods and within entire regions. Our team also specializes in repurposing existing transportation corridors with ULJKW VL]HG VWUHHWV DQG ELNH SHG IDFLOLWLHV. These services are rolled together under our FRPSUHKHQVLYH SODQQLQJ DQG DVVHW PDQDJHPHQW services. Collectively we offer our services to local agencies, community development organizations and other like-minded firms to LGHQWLI\ DQG GHOLYHU SURMHFWV WKDW ZLOO KDYH D SRVLWLYH LPSDFW RQ FLW\ ILQDQFHV DQG TXDOLW\ RI OLIH ZKLOH PLQLPL]LQJ LPSDFWV RQ QDWXUDO DQG FRPPXQLW\ UHVRXUFHV Our philosophy and approach is based on three principles: Fiscal Solvency â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Many cities are faced with increasing infrastructure needs and not enough revenue to pay for them. The most fiscally productive places are those where pedestrians can gather, interact, work and shop. We incorporate urban design and placemaking best practices into our projects to make them safer and more attractive to pedestrians. We also believe decisions on development scenarios, infrastructure, and other investments should be evaluated for costs and benefits over the short and long-term to make sure that the value created in adjacent properties is enough to pay for the infrastructure investments over time. Environmental Stewardship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Our team is committed to designing places that balance the built and natural environments. Applying green infrastructure strategically throughout watersheds can reduce the amount of irrigation required, improve water quality in downstream water bodies, reduce stormwater infrastructure costs, and also provide more aesthetically pleasing environments where people want to walk, play and interact. Properties adjacent to open spaces have higher economic value, too. Flexible Design and Incremental Application â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Creating value is not always about making a huge infrastructure investment to get a new business to come to town, or approving a huge subdivision that a developer agrees to put in â&#x20AC;&#x153;at no cost to the Cityâ&#x20AC;?. There is a lot of untapped revenue and placemaking potential in areas with existing infrastructure. Wherever possible, our team seeks to design projects in a manner that can be implemented incrementally and allows for flexibility as adjacent land uses and mobility patterns evolve over time.

These guys checked out of the big consulting world and are working to carve out a spot for themselves doing principled, Strong Towns-like work.
