District Center

4.4.5.1 District Plaza

District Plaza The District Plaza is the focal point and central social gathering space in the District Center. Anchored by the marketplace, an open air multistory market and office building the urban plaza will be an active urban gathering space supporting the multitude of users in the District Center. From the daily activities supported by the theatre, market, hospital and mixture of other uses, small festivals like art and wine gatherings to concerts and special events the plaza will be a lively urban space.

District Center

4.4.5.1 Healthcare

A hospital and a medical office campus will provide a concentrated job base to the District Center. The hospital will be a comprehensive ambulatory and acute care facility. The ambulatory care will include primary and specialty care medical office space, outpatient surgery center imaging center, satellite cancer center laboratory and urgent care services. Impatient care includes emergency services, intensive care, medical and surgical care, a birthing center, impatient surgical services and a helipad. Primary parking will be concentrated in a parking structure next to the Hospital. Overflow and employee parking will be in parking structures on the adjacent medical office building campus.

The medical office building campus adjacent to the hospital is envisioned as providing primary and specialty office space for the expanded needs of physician services needed near the hospital and as part of the Preserve Community. Three to four story buildings that both treat the street with an urban edge and create a tranquil courtyard on the interior will share parking in designated parking structures.

District Center

4.4.5.1 Institution (University)

A University campus comprising approximately 150,000 sq. ft will provide an institutional component to the District Center. The university should be an urban campus comprised of smaller buildings that create an urban edge to the street and open space while at the same time creating a “university square� in the center. Parking will be concentrated in a parking structure. While the square is the center of campus the University is seen as a valuable contributor to the social engagement of the district center being within walking distance to the plaza, theatre, market, hospital and living opportunities for both staff and students.

District Center

4.4.5.1 Retail and Marketplace

The retail and market place blocks define the northern edge of the District Plaza.

The market place is a full service market selling and buying good and services from local farms, neighborhood gardens and the greater Stockton area. The market should address the plaza corner and street edges in a prominent but appropriate urban manner. Street edges should be activated with market oriented commercial activities that can activate the street. Surface parking with PV Solar Thermal Panels that shade and screen cars is located behind the market.

The mixed use retail block is envisioned as a mixed of uses. Boutique retail, and dining establishments on the ground floor will activate the street and courtyard between the buildings. The courtyard will be a unique and different environmental experience as compared to the urban street edge and District Plaza. Four stories of residential above the retail will provide residents and urban living experience within walking distance to all activities in the District Center. Parking is concentrated in a parking structure on the northern edge of the block.

4�

• Retails, office, and community center will oc cupy the ground floor. Cafes and restaurants are encouraged to provide seatings along the pedestrian walk to encourage social interinterac tions and enhance the pedestrian character of the street.

5�

• A well proportioned retail/office/pubic use and residential use is desired to create a vibrant day and night environment.

6�

• Parking will be encapsulated within the building complex.

Residential Use High Density The characteristics of the high density neighborhoods are defined by a vibrant urban street life with proximity to the district center, retail, commercial, jobs, transit and educational facilities. The transit corridors and primary streets are defined by mixed use buildings with ground floor retail and residential above achieving densities of 50 du/ac.

Residential densities of 35 du/ac create the remaining urban blocks. Individual block and building design shall support the One Planet Living and Eco-Block principles inherent in the master plan concept.

All buildings in the high density neighborhoods will share the following design principles; • Parking will be concentrated in designated central block parking structures. Buildings should not account for any on site residential or commercial parking.

• All buildings shall be designed with façade characteristics that distinguish it from neighboring structures. Long façade planes should be modulated to create an articulated urban street edge.

• Ground floor retail and commercial uses shall be oriented towards the public right-of-way. All storefronts shall have a minimum of 60% glazing of which 75% shall be transparent. Signs and banners shall not project further than six feet or 50% of the public right-of-way width whichever is less. A 10’-0” clearance above the sidewalk is required for all signage.
