BROOKINGS: A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
6TH STREET CORRIDOR
· Enhancements to Hillcrest Park including the installation of landscaping, public art, a pedestran crossing signal across 6th Street, and improvements to the Hillcrest Aquatic Center.
The 6th Street Corridor is important to the community as the primary access to the city, to SDSU, to downtown, and the many businesses along the corridor. It serves both a functional and symbolic role as it represents Brookings as a whole.
· A planned sidepath trail on 6th Street near the downtown planned for 2020.
PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTS
· The visual impression that users experience from 6th Street will impact their overall impression and experience.
· 6th Street Centre (Jimmy John's Mixed Use Project). At 13th Avenue and 6th Street, the three story building includes front parking, two drive-thru service windows, four businesses, and two floors of residential units.
· The function of the corridor must accomodate customers who travel along 6th Street (often vehicular traffic) in addition to the more localized customer base (pedestrians and bicyclists from the adjacent residential neighborhoods).

6th Street
· Bank Star. At 13th Avenue and 6th Street, the single use building includes two stories, a drive through, and parking along both street frontages.
· While it serves as a major corridor through the community, it also divides the adjacent neighborhoods in an environment that can be intimidating to pedestrians seeking to cross the road.
· Parkhill Lofts (Approved). At 12th Avenue and 6th Street, the Parkhill Lofts proposal prompted much dialogue about the appropriate scale and design character along the 6th Street Corridor including how to manage parking and other site impacts. The project was approved by the Planning Commission as a four story building (approximate height of 48 feet), with parking beneath and behind the building, and landscaping along the 6th Street frontage.
6th Street will continue to face significant development pressure from the private sector in addition to residents expecting improvements to the public realm. To date, the investment projects have sought to improve the function of the corridor as the principal arterial and business street through Brookings.
PUBLIC REALM IMPROVEMENTS · Gateway landscaping, open space preservation, and gateway signage between 20th Avenue and 22nd Avenue. The gateway treatments are exceptional and offer a warm welcome to visitors.
· Additional private sector improvements have also occured including reinvestment in existing facilities throughout the district and the acquisition of properties with plans to redevelop.
· The open space southwest of 22nd Avenue and 6th Street includes a trail segment that can be expanded in all directions. · The reconstruction of the interchange and 6th Street west to 22nd Avenue including thematic and streetscape elements in additon to a wide sidewalk along the northside of 6th Street was completed in 2018.

Place: Speculations “Cities have the capability of providing something f o r e v e r y b o d y, o n l y because, and only when, they are created b y e v e r y b o d y.” -Jane Jacobs Blending In The façade study is a comparison between the existing neighborhood buildings and the Lofts. Diagrammed are the most prominent conditions in each category. The first comparison is façade material. Materials that clad the building work to blend into the urban context . The façade is composed of siding, brick, and glass, all of which are primary cladding materials in the neighborhood. The second comparison is the height of the building. The Lofts is only one of two buildings that exceed three stories; the majority is split between one and two story buildings. The Lofts are also set closer to the street which can affect perception of height and creates a deeper contrast between it and the neighborhood. The third comparison is the zoning districts. The site was rezoned to PDD, which makes it the only one of its kind i n the neighborhood. However, the current districts surrounding it are both residential and business districts, which coincides with the program of the Lofts. The difference is that the Lofts are a mixed-use development, whereas the buildings in the surround zones are either residential or business. 35

56 Interior Lighting (Fig 1.1.-1.2. Natural Lighting) Inside this one bedroom residential unit are large windows letting in lots of natural light. The corner units have more windows than most units. Units with balconies have large sliding glass doors that open off the bedrooms or main living spaces.
Interior Lighting (Fig 1.3. Natural Lighting) O n t h e f o u r t h f l o o r, t h e c o r r i d o r i s n a t u r a l l y l i t b y t h e r o o f t o p p a t i o ’ s l a r g e w i n d o w s . T h e p a t i o s p a n s t h e w i d t h o f t w o e f f i c i e n c y u n i t s a l l o w i n g i n a l a r g e a m o u n t of light to the center of the building. The patio has a wood trellis instead of a roof allowing in more sunlight.
57
58 Interior Lighting (Fig 1.4. Artificial Lighting) Units have inset LED can lights throughout the main living space. Above the kitchen island are hanging light fixtures for additional light.
Interior Lighting (Fig 1.5. Artificial Lighting) Corridors have large square inset light fixtures that provide well-lit hallways for residents.
59
60 Sound Effects (Fig 1.6. Double-Studs) The residential units have offset studs to make the walls between units thicker and to help with traveling sound vibrations. Corridor walls have sound channels attached to the studs and the drywall is attached to the channel.
Sound Effects (Fig 1.7. Gypcrete) The wood sheathing floors are covered with gypcrete floor underlayment which is self leveling and reduces sound vibrations.
61
62 Sound Comparison (Fig 1.8. Northwest Interior) Between a range of -60 dB to 0 dB, this audio got up to -24 dB. The highest raise in dB is 36 dB, which, on a comparative noise scale, is very quiet. The extra noise in the sound clip is attributed to a heater that turned on during the audio recording.

Sound Comparison (Fig 1.9. Northwest Exterior) Between a range of -60 dB to 0 dB, this audio got up to -15 dB. The highest raise in dB is 45 dB, which, on a comparative noise scale, is between the threshold of a low urban ambient sound and a quiet suburb. There is a noticeable difference between the clips in that there is an additional 10 dB of noise outside of the building. The audio from the exterior is also varied and random, whereas the interior noise is consistent.

Sound Comparison (Fig 1.11. Northeast Exterior) Between a range of -60 dB to 0 dB, this audio got up to -13 dB. The highest raise in dB is 47 dB, which, on a comparative noise scale, is reaching the threshold of a quiet suburb. There is a noticeable difference between the clips in that there is an additional 10 dB of noise outside of the building. The audio from the exterior is also varied and random, whereas the interior noise is consistent.

Conclusion So where does the practice of architecture fit into the web of politics and small urbanism? Similar to how the city government and owner are a couple of the main influences, the architect is also a part of the intricate web, but in this case the architect is a mediator between public and private interest. Architects must satisfy the standards of the p u b l i c , a n d t h e s t a n d a r d s o f t h e o w n e r. T h i s i s w h e r e we find that the architect is the most influential in the decisions of standards- this is because of their skills to balance material and building requirements, while advocating for the client, coordinating with consultants, and keeping the project on budget. This project is relevant because it proves that standards are a fluid thing, and they depend on the r e l a t i o n s h i p b e t w e e n p e o p l e a n d p l a c e . M o r e s p e c i f i c a l l y, it shows the impact of informal standards and politics on small urbanism. T h e a p p r o v a l o f t h e L o f t s a t Pa r k H i l l d e p e n d e d largely on support from the 2040 Comprehensive P l a n . H o w e v e r, t h e P D D z o n i n g o r d i n a n c e s t a t e s t h a t the proposed building must comply with the current comprehensive plan. If this had been the case, the Lofts would have been subject to the goals of the Vision 2020 Comprehensive Plan. A r c h i t e c t u r a l l y, i t ’ s s h o w s t h e i m p a c t a b u i l d i n g has on standards. The Planning Commission was working on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan around the same time t h e L o f t s a t Pa r k H i l l w a s b e i n g r e v i e w e d . T h e a p p r o v a l o f the Lofts is noted in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as an example under Private Sector investments. In the next 20 years, Brookings is going to look to this project as a legal and architectural precedent for the development of 6th Street. There is no definitive person that has full control over the growth of a city; as evidenced by the Lofts project, it was the work of several people that came together to make it possible.
