City Center acknowledges downtown Grand Rapids as the business and cultural heart of the metropolitan region. A dense development pattern focused on the close proximity of services, a diversity of uses and dynamic building styles characterize this Zone District. The compatibility of such intense development with surrounding neighborhoods is emphasized through the use of a transitional Zone District.
Most of site conforms to eighty-five (85) foot height overlay. Except portion between Grandville Ave and river has no height limit, but must contend with riverfront development overlay.
TN-CC, Traditional Neighborhood - City Center Zone District. The intent of this District is to maintain and enhance the vitality of downtown, reinforce its intense development pattern, provide services in close proximity to one another, allow diverse uses, and maintain the presence of older, often historic, buildings. The compact development pattern of downtown establishes a pedestrian-oriented and transit-friendly environment. The City Center Zone District stresses pedestrian circulation, urban and civic design, protection of natural features, and encourages the reuse of existing buildings. Specific objectives are intended to:
Waste recepticals need to be full inclosed, and at the rear of the building. In areas with multipal fronts, prefer recepticals to be incorperated into building footprint.
1. Accommodate and promote commercial, residential, entertainment, educational, cultural, artistic, health care-related and governmental uses within the City Center Zone District; 2. Improve mobility options downtown, and to reduce the need for on-site parking by encouraging alternative means of transportation, including use of mass transit, bicycle use and other traffic demand management options; 3. Preserve and reuse older buildings, as well as establish standards for the construction of new ones; 4. Expand the employment base and residential population of downtown; 5. Improve walkability and pedestrian interest; 6. Reinforce the unique physical character of downtown, focusing on the design context; 7. Express the community’s special commitment to the visual quality of downtown by establishing minimum criteria for building design compatibility while promoting amenities necessary to attract business, residents and visitors.

Traditional Neighborhoods (TN): 1.Background. Developed prior to society’s dependence on the automobile, these neighborhoods were designed to provide residents with a variety of commercial, institutional and residential options within a short walking distance. Residents find housing options such as single-family homes and apartments above storefronts, as well as commercial and institutional uses integrated into a central neighborhood design. Diversity in building size and use enhances the vitality of these neighborhoods.

Buildings shall qualify for a bonus height allowance based upon the gross floor area of the development devoted to such features and the criteria established in this Section. Total combined bonus height allowances shall not exceed ninety (90) feet or seven (7) stories, whichever is less. Grand River Overlay District (OD-GR). A.Purpose. As Grand Rapids’ most significant natural asset, the Grand River plays an important role in enhancing the quality of life of its residents. The Grand River Overlay District is intended to capitalize on the value of the Grand River as an essential economic, recreational and environmental resource by encouraging land use changes from industrial to open space and mixed-use development. The Grand River Overlay District seeks to remedy past development practices and land use patterns that limited the extent to which people could view, access and enjoy the riverfront by providing opportunities for viewsheds, easements and recreational opportunities. It is intended that: 1. Visibility of the Grand River shall be expanded and enhanced by requiring building setbacks that will provide for greater sight distances. 2. Existing river walk segments shall be extended along the entire length of the Grand River to allow for a continuous connection alongside the River for recreational and environmental quality purposes through donation, acquisition and easements. 3. Wildlife corridors along the River’s edges shall be supported through a continuous network

Real estate along skyway should cater to conferences and arena event crowds. Skywalk is not heavily used by public, and acts a visual barrior between the south side of the site and downtown. Development around arena may consider tapping into existing steam lines. Consider snow loads when designing roofs
Heating will requre the most energy use Cooling requirements are relatively low, all efforts should be made to perform cooling passively.

Final Comments:
A lot of work done this semester and very little to show for it. I was slow at making desisions for fear of making bad decisions, and as such did not allot myself enough time to complete a suitable project. Particularly one that I am happy with, it works but I am dont know for sure that it is what Grand Rapids needs.
Moving forward I need to work on making decisions quicker, hopefuly that will come more naturally as my knowledge basis grows.
