Sub-District Framework - COR5 Parks &Open Space <br /> Public Realm/Streetscape <br /> The overall structure of The COR is based on a system of linked parks,trails and open space.This <br /> includes existing and proposed parks and trails defined in city and regional parks plans,joined with new <br /> parks and trails within The COR. Of equal importance is the contribution from each block and each <br /> development project to this green structure, adding a variety of private, semi-private and perhaps some <br /> additional public space throughout each sub-district. Great strolling streets provide connections <br /> between commercial,workplace, entertainment and residential neighborhoods and encourage shared <br /> use for cars, pedestrians and bicycles. <br /> Site Development <br /> The COR Master Plan illustrates a strong framework of green space, including a mix of public parks, <br /> destination amenities, courtyards, commons and other features. As a key component of the overall plan, <br /> this integrated system of parks,trails and open space provides the framework around which all other <br /> land uses are organized. Placemaking and connectivity are important site development considerations, <br /> linking each block and each sub-district with major public spaces nearby and with many other amenities <br /> and attractions in The COR. <br /> Architecture <br /> There are numerous opportunities to include buildings and other structures as significant design <br /> features within the proposed parks,trails and open space system for The COR.These could range from <br /> simple picnic shelters and landscaped arbors to more complex park buildings that might contain meeting <br /> rooms, rest rooms, storage areas and other facilities. Design of these important buildings should <br /> respond to the specific setting and landscape features in each park, and complement the overall <br /> character and quality of buildings located within surrounding blocks. Additionally, limited retail is <br /> planned along the perimeter of the park. <br /> Design Framework-The COR Page 60 <br /> February 28, 2012 <br />
