APPROACH AND WORK PLAN PLANNING PHILOSOPHY Whether creating a master plan for a specific site, corridor, or citywide system, it is im- perative that a community's vision and values be gathered and organized. It is this vision that guides planning efforts to applicable alternatives, strategies, and solutions that succeed for the community. Each and every community is different. The RWA Team understands that successful master plans and specific site designs are not the product of a consultant's vision for a community, but rather a reflection of that community's values. We strive to create innovative solutions that embrace each community's needs and desires with an eye towards market reality. We are proud of the range of services that we provide our clients. From system -wide planning, to site master planning, design, and construction, we offer attention to detail and staff expertise at all levels of the design to development process. CORRIDOR REVITALIZATION PHILOSOPHY Commercial corridors which have undergone revitalization are emerging as regional desti- nations in cities throughout the nation. In virtually every story of success, redevelopment and new development within these corridors has been the result of a holistic approach involving nurturing and growing each diverse segment of the economy, eliminating barriers to investment, and marketing positive changes through an overall image of vitality. This experience has proven that as varied as the markets are within these corridors, so too are the required solutions. Just as communities can no longer rely on a single economic engine to propel their future, neither can corridors rely on a single project or initiative. Multiple efforts are required, including projects, programs and policies, all designed to "ready the environment for investment." To this end, forming and advancing the development agenda within commercial corridors requires a keen understanding of the goals and aspirations of its stakeholders, the realties of the marketplace, peculiarities of the political landscape and constraints of local public and private resources. With this understanding, project advocates are then positioned to establish priorities for action and investment. Only through a process which involves educating stakeholders, soliciting their input, identifying barriers, and designing a program of actions to move the corridor and neighborhoods surrounding it towards a vision of revi- talization, can the community and key stakeholders seek to achieve this end. This platform for action has resulted in awards to members of the RWA Team from the International Downtown Association, Texas American Planning Association, Texas and Ar- kansas Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects, Arkansas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and have been documented in publication for the Urban Land Institute. More importantly, it has set the stage for millions of dollars of private in- vestment and reinvestment in communities across the country. KNOWLEDGE OF THE STUDY AREA Over the past eight (8) years, RPPY Architects and the RWA Team have been engaged with various projects in the 12th Street Corridor. Projects ranging from minor architectural im- provements, to the design of the Black Community Developers (BCD) Treatment Center located adjacent to Hoover Methodist Church, to the current design of a new Empower- ment Center positioned to improve working skills of area residents. The Will's House is a recent neighborhood addition completed in 2005 and is located on 12th Street. It houses 70 residents that are trained to provide working skills that can be useful to the community, as well as providing a viable income. This was a very successful project that was implemented by BCD and designed by RPPY Architects. Another 12th Street project that RPPY and RWA are working on is the Empowerment Center located on 12th Street between Maple & Valentine Streets. The team is developing a site plan and is walking the project through the City Planning process before beginning architectural plans for the buildings. PROJECT APPROACH: THE 12TH STREET CORRIDOR PLAN A master plan is a comprehensive view of planning and design solutions proposed for a community to set standards and advance a vision. The vision and standards are articulated in the form of proposed improvements that act as building blocks which direct a City and/ or community toward realistic and obtainable goals. The purpose statements of the 12th Street Corridor Plan should include, but not be limited to the following: I . Set a clear direction for future corridor growth. 2. Create specific planning strategies and define action steps to achieve the proposed master plan goals. 3. Provide the community with a document that will act as a checklist for measuring progress. 4. Assess the community's existing zoning, circulation and streetscape conditions. 5. Stimulate economic development through urban revitalization utilizing a variety of creative financing and legal options. 6. Encourage the diversity in the economic mix in order to strengthen the City's econo- my by attracting residences and businesses to this corridor. 7. Establish the necessity of streetscape and open space improvements as a means to enhance Little Rock's appearance, viability and image to visitors, businesses and the community as a whole. 8. Provide design flexibility and efficiency while maintaining the integrity of the natural and cultural setting through proposed design improvements for both commercial and residential areas. 9. Establish high standards of livability and quality of life for all segments of the popula- tion. 10. Provide a range of business, leisure and cultural choices to attract new residents and visitors to the area. 11. Integrate with surrounding UALR, UAMS and downtown Little Rock that will result in economic improvements through connectivity. 12. Enhance a community, unique with its varied amenities, that will act as a catalyst for improvements in the surrounding Little Rock areas. The RWA Team's goal is to produce a document that will be a guide for the neighborhood and business community to improve the 12th Street Corridor both physically and econom- ically. The planning solutions come from analysis of existing conditions, market, financial, _ social, physical, regulatory, and political — with input form the community. Our approach places equal emphasis on the process, as the product. To that end, com- munity meetings will be a vital part of this master planning effort. Ideas and concerns of the neighbors, business owners, stakeholders (UALR, UAMS, CALS and the City of Little { Rock) and surrounding neighborhood associations will give ownership to the plan and ul- timately determine whether the plan will be followed as a guide or live on a shelf. We reviewed action plans from adjacent neighborhoods and found the following: The Stevens Area Neighborhood Action Plan (1998) states that their "future land use map is intended to ....... encourage new business and promote diversity of retail and residential uses into this area, properties along 12th Street." _ _.. —_ �,r .. . � •aroma r � . .. ___ 12 The Oak Forest Area Neighborhood Action Plan (1999) stated the need to develop a mar- keting plan for 12th Street as well as "promote...... 12th Street as a viable commercial and service oriented location/corridor." The Oak Forest Area Neighborhood Action Plan cites transportation issues such as the need to "develop a sidewalk and bikeway plan for the neighborhood" and to "request that CATA review existing bus routes to ensure that they are effective and meeting the needs of all residents. City Director Ken Richardson recently shared this important thought, "You have to care and believe you can make changes in peoples' lives through the work you do. It's not enough just to care." WORK PLAN The RWA Team's work plan takes the major elements outlined in the RFQ and adds at least three (3) critical dimensions: market, de- mographic and psychographic analysis; barriers to investment identification; and preparation of development proformas to test the need for and magnitude of any public sector contribution. This approach can be generally described in the following terms: Task 1: Inventory and Analysis 1.1 Conduct a kickoff meeting to confirm project goals and schedule with all project partners. 1.2 Conduct site visits to confirm team understanding of the study area, corridors, and context. 1.3 Gather data from city and private sources — GIS info to include current land use, zoning, infrastructure (street width, sidewalks, overhead electric lines, underground utilities, etc.), historic structures, as well as any current or future public or private develop- ment plans, thoroughfare plans, comprehensive plans, etc. that affect the project area. Gather all relevant plans pertaining to the study area, including Neighborhood Action Plans, City planning documents, the UALR Campus Master Plan, and UAMS develop- ment plans. 1.4 Create base maps. 1.5 Identify stakeholders and conduct stakeholder interviews regarding plans and trends affecting the corridor. 1.6 Document opportunities and constraints (including existing and future natural and man made systems). 1.7 Present inventory and analysis findings (client meeting). Task 2: Market Forces and Uses 2.1 Quantify historic and projected trends in demographics and psychographics. 2.2 Prepare an investment profile within and surrounding the study area documenting the surrounding condition, type and ownership of land uses. 2.3 Define the market area's overall development and political climate, as well as select development concerns. 2.4 Meet with key representatives of the "delivery system" such as public officials, financiers, developers and others to discuss oppor- tunities and barriers to investment. 2.5 Prepare a list of barriers in the community's development "delivery system.,, 2.6 Define the study area's primary and secondary trade areas for all major land uses. 2.7 Complete audits and inventories of residential and non-residential developments, stores and other uses in the study area. 2.8 Identify issues related to housing stock, affordability, code enforcement and commercial impacts. 2.9 Analyze vacant and underutilized land in the study area, ownership patterns, and the potential for assembly of significant parcels for new development and/or redevelopment in catalyst locations. 2.10 Quantify market share among land uses and product types for the community, study area and corridor. 2.11 Present market forces findings (client meeting). Task 3: Vision, Goals, and Priorities 3.1 Conduct a public workshop to understand the community's vision, priorities, and pending needs. 3.2 Identify historic and architectural context that is compatible and incompatible with community goals. 3.3 Identify/confirm the study area boundaries based on the analysis, priorities, and needs. 3.4 Develop a preliminary program based on the analysis, priorities, needs, and market analysis (client meeting). 13 Task 4: Master Plan Scenarios 4.1 Infrastructure: 4. I .a Create proposed land use and zoning maps, as well as a thoroughfare plan and utility recommendations for the study area which create the framework to accommodate the community's desired outcomes. 4. I .b Prepare a development capacity analysis based on proposed zoning and infrastructure recommendations. 4. I .c Identify key catalyst sites and/or areas within the corridor which will advance the plan concepts. 4. I .d Prepare development programming recommendations. 4. I .e Develop evaluation criteria for objectively evaluating the programming alternatives. 4.I.f Complete comparative analysis based on evaluation criteria (including fiscal considerations, neighborhood and transit im- pacts, compatibility, etc.) 4. I .g Prepare a series of development proformas with supporting assumptions in an effort to quantify funding gaps and potential strategies to fill the gap. 4.2 Urban Design Guidelines: 4.2.a Develop urban design guidelines for the study area that address proposed standards for setbacks, fagade treatments, infill development, street trees, paving, walls, signing, lighting, street furnishings, and trails. 4.2.b Develop site plans and graphics depicting typical spacing and alignment of urban design components along roadway corridors by street type (i.e. arterial, collector, residential), as well as at intersections, activity nodes, gateways, and along study area edges. 4.3 Prototypical Development Solutions (12th Street Corridor): Create site plans for the redevelopment improvements within the right-of-way of the 12th Street Corridor, including man made and natural components. 4.4 Strategies: 4.4.a Identify current and potential resources and public initiatives which will incent private investment - general enough to ad- dress the range of issues present within the study area. 4.4.b Develop a list of priorities for public and private investment. 4.4.c Identify a range of development incentives necessary to attract investment and create a more favorable environment for private roves meet. _ ` �.✓y- 4.5 � �`.uae�,.

Recognizing the need to support the re- vitaifzation of this important historic area of Garland, the Downtown Urban De- sign Plan was commissioned to "establish and articulate a design style"'lin€ci.ng and, giving identity to the primary functioq components of downtown Garfan These components included the down- town square and surrounding historic retail/office district, the governmental/ cultural center, the downtown Ga: -land DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) station, the residential neighborhoods, as well as the primary and secondary entrances to and connections within downtown. The goal of the Downtown Urban De- sign plan was to reinforce the existing downtown fabric through pedestrian - oriented enhancements to the public realm. Through a design process aimed at developing consensus through com- munity evaluation and Input, an overall structure plan was developed to estab- lish policy direction upon which future urban design declsions would be based. Thfs was followed by the development of five specific area plans illustrating prototypical design solutions that follow the direction established within the pre- ceding structure pian. Implementation techniques, preliminary costs, and design guldelines addressing landscape, lighting, paving, signage, street furnishings, gate- way and directional treatments, focal points, open space, and pubfic activity areas provides guldance to the city and design community. The plan provides a basis for public decisions related to infra- structure and capital improvements pro- graniming, for private decisions related to site development, renovation, and property improvement, and for organi- zational decisions related to revitaliza- tion activities.

The national trend of stag- nating and declining "inner ring" suburbs has been largely attributed to the deterioration of the commercial corridors within them. In midsize and rural markets, corridors that were once the gateway to the community are now an inventory of commercial and industrial land uses with little connection to neighborhoods or employment centers. Attempts to advance smart growth and economic sustainability have also been significantly compromised by the deteriorating effects of declining corridors. Together, the public and private sectors face the challenge of revitalizing the commercial strips that once represented the lifeblood of these communities. Leland Consulting Group (LCG) has proven that the competitive position of the markets connected by corridors can be enhanced by thoughtful repositioning of the corridors' role, recognition of current target markets, and restructuring of their physical layout to reflect the more mature nature of the communities that surround them.

At Leland Consulting Group we strive to inject progressive planning principles into each of our projects. This comes not from an idealistic utopian vi- sion, but rather from our experience that shows that New Urbanism and Smart Growth principles can make projects more attractive, more profitable, more successful. New Urbanism is much more than just neotraditional planning. It implies a holistic approach to building new communities and revitalizing existing ones. This approach takes into account regional implications to a project so that it blends into the regional urban fabric and responds to regional issues related to open space, transportation, employment, environment, and density. At the neighborhood level, New Urbanism principles call for a rich mix of uses in close proximity so that residents can live, work, and shop in the same neighborhood. Physi- cally, New Urbanism means pedestrian -oriented design that de-emphasizes the automo- bile and encourages pedestrian activity and interaction among residents. Leland Consulting Group has worked with nationally -recognized design teams on successful New Urbanist developments. Smart Growth can refer to many different styles of development as long as they reflect key Smart Growth principles: - Provide nearby services; - Lower commuting time and reduce congestion; - Encourage and make possible alternate modes of transit; - Provide better neighborhoods for walking and living; - Be environmentally sound; - Be economically vital; - Maintain affordability; and - Enhance the quality of life and the sense of community. Smart Growth principles are appropriate for all projects, urban and suburban, commercial and residential, environmental and industrial. By adhering to these principles, Leland Con- sulting Group helps to facilitate projects that are environmentally friendly, economically feasible, and that create more livable communities.

The purchase or rental of a housing unit is an emotional decision enhanced or restricted by one's ability to pay. Successful housing development requires a solid understanding of the needs and desires that must be met to satisfy each of the housing market segments—one- and two -person household renters, entry-level family home purchasers, middleaged family and empty -nester move -up home buyers, condominium purchasers, and resort and second - home purchasers. Each housing product needs to be thoughtfully tailored to meet the rigorous demands of the market that will purchase or rent it. This requires solid experience coupled with mar- ket research, good design and quality execution in terms of land development and building construction. Most mid-size to large cities and virtually all metropolitan areas throughout America have reached a point where approximately two thirds of all households are comprised of one or two persons. A single person living alone, a couple married or unrelated, a single parent with a child, a retired couple, two individuals sharing space—all or part of the majority of house- holds redefining their living and space needs. While many such households have the financial capacity to live in a variety of housing products, security, ease of maintenance, smaller but high quality living environments, access to entertainment and cultural facilities, proximity to restaurants, and other attributes are part of the attractions that draw this ever-growing population to inner city and downtown urban living solutions. Traditional apartments and single-family homes made up more than 95 percent of all housing constructed in America only ten years ago. Today, a significant percentage of housing is con- sidered alternative—lofts, low-rise, mid -rise and high-rise rentals and condominiums, row - houses, townhouses, stacked units, clustered units, and all of the variations, are part of the myriad of products increasingly available. The principals of Leland Consulting Group have provided market research, development programming, financial analysis, valuation analysis, and related development advisory services to communities and private developers.

Design included sidewalk improvements, street trees and other plantings, lighting and street furnishings. Arkansas Tech University "O" Street - Russellville, Arkansas The "O" Street improvements were part of Arkansas Tech University's goal of creating a more appealing and inviting entry into the campus. Brick -paver crosswalks, area lighting, and general landscaping were added to create a more pedestrian -friendly environment. "0" Street was also narrowed from 36 feet to 27 feet to reduce traffic speed, and a new under- ground storm system was installed. Southern View, Phase II - Fayetteville, Arkansas Southern View phase II is a true mixed-use development located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Crafton Tull Sparks provided survey services and civil engineering design for this project. Commercial, retail and office space are available on the ground floor, while multi -family housing is provided on the second and third levels of the building. Wide sidewalks, street trees and parallel parking were incorporated to create a unique street-scape. The Villlage at Centre Pointe - Rogers, Arkansas In a region like Northwest Arkansas, that offers so much to do and see, The Village at Center Pointe is a destination in itself. This new development is an eclectic community of shops, spe- cialty stores, restaurants, hotels and residential suites. The tree -lined streets, parks and wa- ter features make this development a unique, relaxing, urban destination. Features include a 175 room, all -suite atrium hotel, a 75 room luxury boutique hotel, commercial space ranging from 1,300-40,000 square feet, and apartment lofts and condominiums. At this point in the project, Crafton Tull Sparks has provided master planning, schematic design and preliminary site plan documents. Crafton Tull Sparks' marketing staff also prepared the marketing mate- rials to take this project to the next level of presales and design. 42 FOI, �& aerreA Crafton Tull Se�rks 28th Street - Bentonville, Arkansas The 28th Street project extends from Moberly Lane to S.E. "J" Street and spans approxi- mately 4,000 feet. It is three lanes wide with curbs and gutters, a storm water drainage system and a sidewalk along the north side. This project effectively extended the already existing Olive Street westward into Bentonville to provide access for potential commercial development. A box culvert was also constructed over Tributary I of Osage Creek. Cleveland Street - Fayetteville, Arkansas Prior to design and construction, this steep and narrow .5 mile section of Cleveland street with open ditches experienced drainage problems during heavy rainfalls. The design called for widening and reconstruction of the street and the addition of a curb and gutter, storm drains, sidewalks, and retaining walls. The design was complicated by several factors. The vertical grades of east Garland Avenue are in excess of 13%, necessitating curved vane grates to catch quickly moving stormwater. A new box culvert was installed along with block retaining walls and articulated matting to protect the outlet channel from erosion. A large concrete retaining wall was constructed to improved sight distance at the Leverett Avenue intersection. Dixieland Road - Rogers, Arkansas Rapid growth in southwest Rogers over the past several years has gradually increased traf- fic on the existing street network. Crafton Tull Sparks was retained to prepare plans and construction documents for the needed improvements in three phases. Phase I widened the existing road to four lanes from Oak Street to New Hope Road and included reconstruction of the New Hope Road intersection with multi -lane approaches and turning lanes. Phase II provided a 3 -lane section from Price Lane to Perry Road, while Phase III filled in the gap be- tween New Hope Road and Perry Road with a 3 -lane section. All phases consisted of asphalt paved streets with curb and gutter, sidewalks and storm drains. Phase II also included the design and construction of a ten -barrel box culvert in a regulatory floodway to replace an obsolete bridge over Blossom Way Creek. Huntsville Avenue Corridor Study - Springdale, Arkansas Crafton Tull Sparks identified and evaluated the costs associated with the construction of a three-mile east -west arterial street across from the central area of Springdale. The street would relieve traffic congestion in the historic downtown areas and provide a better route for motorists traversing the city. The study included an existing portion of Huntsville Avenue that would be widened in its present location. A new section of roadway is also planned to extend Huntsville Avenue on new alignment to Butterfield Coach Road. Numerous public hearings were held to obtain feedback from the affected residents. Crafton Tull Sparks pro- vided three alternative alignments; cost estimates were generated based on the alignment chosen by the City of Springdale, a full -depth asphalt street section with curb & gutter, sidewalks, storm drainage, numerous culverts, and a span -bridge over the Spring Creek Tributary.
