SOLAR CARPORTS

CAPSTONE PROJECT - MASTER OF URBAN PLANNING

ADVISOR: DR. DUSTIN ALLRED | CLIENT: UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS FACILITIES AND SERVICES | YEAR: 2019 • The objective of the report was to document open parking lot areas at the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for potential installation of solar carports.

• The development of infrastructure to harness solar energy is in tune with the goals of the Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) of 2015 and the intent of the university to become carbon neutral by the year 2050.

METHODOLOGY The exercise to document the areas required the following.

• Identification of the open parking lots on campus.

• Delineation of areas for solar carports installation.

• Assessment of the identified areas for annual solar radiation and shadow volumes.

• Tabulation and identification of the areas for their potential energy generation capabilities.

• Calculation of potential solar power generation.

• Production of maps to inform of conditions of annual solar radiation and shadow volumes for the areas considered.

RESULTS • The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has 180.94 acres of open parking lot spaces. A total area of 65.75 acres of open parking lot spaces was identified for potential solar carport installation.

• 967 parking strips were identified during the analysis. Each parking strip is numbered and further identified by the parking lot it is located in using two tags generated by the university’s Facilities and Services department – ‘CampusRIGr’ and ‘UIUCTAG_NO’.

• The estimated potential energy from the parking strips assessed for yearround solar radiation stands at 257.25 GWh. • Sun Shadow Volumes were generated to visualize the effect of shadows on the areas being considered for potential installation of solar carport structures.

LAND USE PLANNING

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AT ORCHARD DOWNS IN URBANA, IL COURSE: PHYSICAL PLANNING | YEAR: 2018

Located in the state of Illinois, Orchard Downs is a residential community in the city of Urbana in Champaign County. The nearest commercial establishments are located East of Orchard Downs at least 20 minutes away by bus.

Being zoned by the city of Urbana as CRE, there is huge disparity in the density of population at Orchard Downs housing compared to the housing in the surrounding residential areas.

20

It is evident that most of the population living in the area fall under the age bracket of 18-34 and pursue Graduate studies either in Masters or Doctoral programs.

The Analysis points to a strong requirement of Dense Residential or Mixed Use Development to cater to the housing, commercial and transportation needs of the Graduate Student community living with families or dependents.

22

It is interesting to note that more than 40% of the population are married and earn a moderate income of around $25,000 per annum.

The essence of family community in the adjacent Urbana neighborhoods to the North and the East will contribute to the fabric of the Orchard Downs community and bring in revenue by the establishment of commercial ventures. While Rezoning may be required for a complete redevelopment, intervention development can be undertaken without changes to Zoning.

24

ORCHARD DOWNS, URBANA, IL

The Residential Access roads are 40’ wide and accommodate parking on both sides.

The Collector Road leads to three Sub-collector Roads to service the commercial spaces, low-density housing and high-density housing respectively.

Existing Orchard Dr. opens at two points on the western side of the site to the Collector Road of 60’ width.

The road provides the nearest access to public transport facilities.

The lane widths increase progressively from the Residential Access roads to the Collector Road.

This is done to slow down traffic at the Residential level.

The bike lane remains separate from the car lanes in order to provide free passage, saving the bike riders or the car drivers from being on the lookout for oncoming traffic or opening car doors.

All underground utilities will run either under the section with trees or streetlights above.

In all cases, the trees act as the buffer between the development and the bike path while the pedestrian walkways act as buffer between the bike path and the car lanes.

GROWTH PATTERN

PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT IN CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, IL COURSE: PHYSICAL PLANNING | YEAR: 2018

• The new interchange at the intersection of I-57 and Curtis Road will lead to the development of growth radially in the southern, southwestern and western directions. Additionally, growth will be aided by the extension of the southern part of the university including the Research Park.

• Several developed residential parcels south of Windsor Road in North Savoy will have to make way for the laying of the rail line south of Curtis Road. The laying of the line will lead to a disconnect across Champaign and Savoy and will impinge the establishments along Windsor from serving both communities. However, proximity to Willard Airport and the ease of connectivity from the interchange might spur growth in Western Savoy.

• It is very evident that the impending changes to the transportation network in southern Champaign and northern Savoy will seem to cost the economy of Savoy and lead to dislocation of residents while Champaign is set to economically benefit from the changes leading to increased urbanization and decrease in farmland.

• Both Champaign and Urbana can be seen growing outwards rather than towards each other as the latter development has reached saturation.

Mahomet is seen to be growing on both its ends and distance between the North Western boundary of Champaign and the Eastern boundary of Mahomet are shrinking.

NETWORK ANALYSIS

CONNECTIVITY TO TRAUMA CENTERS IN COOK COUNTY, IL CLASS: ADVANCED GIS APPLICATIONS | YEAR: 2019

To determine the connectivity of Cook county residents with its Trauma centers, lengths of road segments on the shapefile were used as a function of respective speed limits to determine the times taken for travel.

Extents of Cook county were used along with the Clip tool under the Geoprocessing Menu to limit the number of Trauma centers under consider for the analysis. 5 mile traversed distances were plotted from each Trauma center (except for the one on the South East side which did not return any data) to determine the vicinity that each Trauma center can service. • It is seen that the Handgun assault cases of July 2019 in Cook County mostly occurred in the South and Central parts. • While the central part seems moderately connected to trauma centers, the south part seems to be suffering from a lack of frequency of such trauma centers.

It is seen that the Handgun assault cases of July 2019 in Cook County mostly occurred in the South and Central parts.

• Overlaying Cook County Life Expectancy data collected between 2010 and 2015 over our study region, it is evident that the life expectancy in areas affected by the gun violence (other factors might be contributing to the same) tend to have lower life expectancy rates.

• In contrast, well placed locations of Trauma centers in the north of the county tend to cater better and as such lead to higher levels of life expectancy.

• From the Basemap, it is also seen that different regions of the county – North, Central and South – are seemingly cut off from one another by the existence of Expressways which might curtail quick response times.

SPATIAL PATTERN ANALYSIS SOURCE OF CHOLERA DEATHS IN LONDON (1854) COURSE: ADVANCED GIS APPLICATIONS | YEAR: 2019

The Average Nearest Neighbor function was used on data enlisting the cases of cholera deaths in 1854’s London, England. An area of 726,691 sq. m. was chosen as this was the extent of the region under consideration.

The cases of cholera deaths seem to be distributed in clusters.

CLUSTERED DISTRIBUTION OF THE CHOLERA DEATH CASES

LONDON, ENGLAND

Kernel Density function was used to determine the Intensity of cholera death cases. It is evident that the high intensity of cases appears in the central region where one water pump is found. It would have been worthwhile to begin investigation of and around this water pump to determine the origin or source of the deaths. The Central Feature function was used to determine the central point of all cases being considered. The location point was near the water pump designated for study

3D ANALYSIS

DENSITY GAP BETWEEN EXISTING AND PERMITTED RESIDENTIAL ZONING COURSE: ADVANCED GIS APPLICATIONS | YEAR: 2019

SILVER SPRING PLANNING AREA, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MARYLAND

The verticals in the image represent the extent of Density Gaps in the region.

Positive Density Gaps represent areas where is room for more residental property development in adherence with the City Code.

Dwelling data of 2019 from the Silver Spring Planning Area in Maryland’s Montgomery County was homogenized on ArcMap to reflect all areas in Acres.

Density of the areas was calculated as a ratio of the number of dwellings to the area allotted by zoning.

Areas with negative Density Gap (oversaturated regions) were disregarded and those areas with infill potential were projected on ArcScene to exhibit the degree of residential/mixed use development possible.
