2 Spectrum of Place Types Open Space Neighborhoods Centers Open Space/ Open Space/ Conservation Agriculture Easement Single Family Residential Multi-Family Residential Single Horizontal Specialty Vertical Regional Purpose Mixed Use Districts Mixed Use Centers Commercial (Medical, Military, Airport)

3 Spectrum of Place Types Open Space Neighborhoods Centers Open Space/ Agriculture Open Space/ Conservation Easement Single Family Residential Multi-Family Residential Single Purpose Commercial Horizontal Mixed Use Vertical Mixed Use Specialty Districts (Medical, Military, Airport) Regional Centers Neighborhood and Community Regional

4 Place Types Definition of a Complete Neighborhood Regional Center Typologies for Existing and Emerging Employment Centers

5 Neighborhood & Districts Determinants of Neighborhood Form: 1) Land use 2) Mobility 3) Natural topography and other natural, historic and cultural features 4) Sustainability

6 Place Type Determinant: Land Use

7 Main Street Neighborhood Major Determinant: Commercial/entertainment concentration with local draw Key Features: Linear corridor/s with mix of restaurants, local services and small shops; transit access; walkable street network Predominant Land Use/s: Locally serving commercial; mixed use; single family residential Example/s: South Town

16 Institutional Neighborhood/District Major Determinant: Large institutional or private campus-style development anchor Key Features: Public-private partnerships; dynamic and engaging campus edges (blurred); strong institutional core and identity; public/quasipublic uses at periphery Predominant Land Use/s: Mixed use development; higher density residential Example/s: Our Lady of the Lake University; Port SA; UTSA, Texas A&M San Antonio; Medical Center; USAA

25 Place Type Determinant: Mobility

26 Trail-Oriented Development Major Determinant: Regional trail connectivity and strong pedestrian/bicycle linkages Key Features: Linear transportation/recreation corridor; trails; sidewalks; bike facilities Predominant Land Use/s: Mixed use development; higher density residential; single family residential Example/s: San Antonio Greenway Trails

36 Transit Supportive Development: Dedicated Corridor Major Determinant: Major transit station or transfer point along a dedicated corridor Key Features: Transit access; pedestrian and bicycle connectivity; neighborhood activation Predominant Land Use/s: Mixed use development; higher density residential; single family residential

45 Transit Supportive Development: Shared Corridor Major Determinant: Major transit station or transfer point along a shared corridor Key Features: Transit access; pedestrian and bicycle connectivity; neighborhood activation Predominant Land Use/s: Mixed use development; higher density residential; single family residential Example/s: VIA Centro Plaza; Robert Thompson Transit Center

55 Place Type Determinant: Natural/Historic/ Cultural Assets

56 Parks, Open Space, Areas with Access

57 Natural/Historic/Cultural Asset Major Determinant: Protection of natural, historic and/or cultural asset Key Features: Main road skirting the periphery and/or leading to a few small parking lot trail heads; lower densities closest, and perhaps medium density 1-2 mile back Predominant Land Use/s: Single family residential Examples: World Heritage Corridor (Mission San Antonio de Valero (Alamo) to Mission San Francisco de la Espada) San Antonio River Authority Plan (e.g., San Pedro Creeks Project)

63 Conservation Easement and Clustered Housing Conservation easement photo

65 Community/Regional Park Major Determinant: Large institutional or private campus-style development anchor Key Features: The park is meant to be activated; higher density pushed up close to the park and more of a grid road pattern adjacent Predominant Land Use/s: Mixed use development; higher density residential; single family residential Example/s: Brackenridge Park; Phil Hardberger Park

75 Place Type Determinant: Sustainability

76 Green Neighborhood Major Determinant: Maximization of sustainability Key Features: Natural drainageways; connected ped/bike network; urban agriculture; orientation for passive lighting, heating and cooling Predominant Land Use/s: Single family residential, higher density residential Example/s: Mahncke Park

88 Place Type Policy Guidance Allowable Ranges for: Intensity of Development Land Use Connectivity Index Open Space High Level Design Guidelines Incentives
