To the west, Live/Work or Flex units will face onto a small landscaped area. A small boardwalk will provide access to the existing boat docks that will serve as a secondary path of travel. Along the northern edge, a hardscaped plaza will transition to a boardwalk over- look that projects over the shoreline and into the turning basin. Just to the east of the overlook, a series of grand stairs cascade down to the water’s edge providing an op- portunity to interact with the water. The public building at the southern end of the Neighborhood Square provides a focal point in this area. The public building has indoor and covered outdoor space providing a view of the turning basin and further down the Petaluma River. The building could provide space for public meetings, receptions, or art exhibitions. Two-story galleries on buildings provide a covered walkway as well as private outdoor space with dramatic views of the river and downtown for upper floor users. 2-25Petaluma Station Area Master Plan Draft: April 2012 2.4 Public Space FrameworkChapter 2: Vision Petaluma, CA SMART Station Area Plan and SmartCode

Now it is time to stop talking about the problem and start generating immediate solutions! Are you ready to be part of the solution? we have been building. Rather, we need a complete paradigm shift in the way that we design, locate, regulate, and develop homes. As What’s Next states, “it’s a time to rethink and evolve, reinvent and renew.” Missing Middle housing types, such as duplexes, fourplexes, bungalow courts, mansion apartments, and live-work units, are a critical part of the solution and should be a part of every architect’s, planner’s, real estate agent’s, and developer’s arsenal. Diagram of missing middle housing types illustrating the range of types and their location between single-family homes and mid-rise buildings Well-designed, simple Missing Middle housing types achieve medium-density yields and provide high-quality, marketable options between the scales of single-family homes and mid-rise flats for walkable urban living. They are designed to meet the specific needs of shifting demographics and the new market demand and are a key component to a diverse neighborhood. They are classified as “missing” because very few of these housing types have been built since the early 1940’s due to regulatory constraints, the shift to auto-dependent patterns of development, and the incentivization of single-family home ownership. Medium density but lower perceived densities. As a starting point, these building types typically range in density from 16 dwelling units/acre (du/acre) to up to 35 du/acre, depending on the building type and lot size. It is important not to get too caught up in the density numbers when thinking about these types. Due to the small footprint of the building types and the fact that they are usually mixed with a variety of building types, even on an individual block, the perceived density is usually quite lower–they do not look like dense buildings. A combination of these types gets a neighborhood to a minimum Missing Middle Housing

The scale of this duplex makes it compatible with adjacent single-family homes. 5.01.070 Duplex, Stacked General Note: the drawings and photos below are illustrative. A. Description This Duplex building type consists of structures that contain two units, one on top of the other. This building type has the appearance of a medium to large single- family home. This type is typically integrated sparingly into single-family neighborhoods or more consistently into neighborhoods with other medium-density types such as bungalow courts, fourplexes, or courtyard apartments. This building type enables the incorporation of high-quality, well-designed density within a walkable neighborhood. This is the preferred type of duplex on 50' wide lots in Livermore neighborhoods not zoned for single-family because it is capable of accommodating two units in a smaller footprint, thus maximizing compatibility in size and privacy to the rear of adjacent units.

© 2012 Opticos Design, Inc. | Typical Approaches to Zoning Urban Form (from least to most effective) What Should this Approach be Called? Organizing Principle New Components Created and Included Is the Overall Code Reorganized for Usability? Likely Cost Range Considerations for this Approach 1. Adding graphics to a Euclidean, use-based code Graphics- Based Code Use Primarily additional graphics and tables, content has minor changes only Not in this example Low; Primarily because it is a graphic design- usability exercise only This is completely ineffective and should be avoided. This is what you will often get if your budget is too low for a true FBC: Will look good, but will not produce predictable results. Does not address obstacles for good development or process- related issues inherent in most zoning codes. 2.Adding design guidelines/ site planning guidelines to a Euclidean, use-based code Design Guidelines or Design Standards Use Components similar to FBC components may be created, but they do not replace the code so they do not need to be as carefully vetted and many times create conflicts within the zoning code No Low; Primarily because it does not address the problems with underlying zoning Mostly ineffective due to typical issue inherent in existing code that are not addressed and may even contradict zoning. Adding another layer of regulations that confuses intent and negatively impacts usability and administration 3. Adding mixed use zones to to a Euclidean, use-based code Targeted Mixed Use Zone Application Use typically, sometimes form New base zones and zone standards only No Low; Primarily because this approach entales crating only new base zones Effectiveness depends highly on quality and clarity of existing code and development review process. If administration and the code document structure is good, and detailed visioning is completed, and the mixed use zones are not over-simplified this can begin to show good results.

Optional Form-Based Code overlay Form-Based Code Overlay Form All typical FBC elements included, process rethought for FBC application No Low to Medium, depending primarily on extent of visioning completed Administration, parking, landscape, and all other elements within code must be vetted and coordinated with intent of the FBC and potentially included in the FBc and replaced when the overlay is triggered 6. Integrating a complete Form-Based Code within a pre-existing zoning code Parallel Form-Based Code Form for FBC section, use for the rest of the pre-existing code All typical FBC elements included, process and all general standards (parking, landscaping, etc.) rethought for FBC application Sometimes Medium; Primarily due to the fact that a complete, parallel code is being created to replace the exising code in targetted areas Administration, parking, landscape, and all other elements within code must be vetted and coordinated with intent of the FBC Division. If you are doing a complete code rewrite and you choose this approach, you are writing two complete, parallel code documents which is not a good use of resources. This approach is still sending a message that the default is drivable suburban development and that FBCs are the exception Form-BasedCodes 7. Using Form as an organizing principle for the entire zoning code and using Form-Based Code components as the driver for your Table of Contents Citywide Form-Based Code Form All typical FBC elements included, process and all general standards (parking, landscaping, etc.) rethought for FBC application, admin and procedures, variances, etc. are all rethought to support the FBC Yes High; Slightly higher than #4. Due to charrettes for FBC Focus Areas, and extensive documentation and analysis phase completed, and that all standards are carefully vette In this approach, the structure of the entire zoning code is completely rethought, a new operating system is established, and thus the entire table of contents of code document is structured with a form-first philosophy. Every last bit of content from the pre-existing code is vetted for it applicability to the form-first operating system before it is transferred so that it does not compromise the intent. This approach is perfect for a city that has made a strong commitment in its city policies to promote smarter, more sustainable growth. Let Euclidean zoning regulate drivable suburban contexts, and the FBC regulate walkable urban contexts. It is called citywide Form-Based Code not because the entire city has Form-Based Coding applied, but rather the entire city has been assessed, FBC aplied to where it make sense, and the FBC application can easily spread LESSCOMPREHENSIVE&EFFECTIVEMORECOMPREHENSIVE&EFFECTIVE Classifying and Clarifying Different Approaches 41 In upcoming Zoning Practice May 2013

This community type also has a small percentage (approximately 10-20%) of T4 with small footprint, medium-density housing types – such as duplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and small apartment buildings – that are either typically along a major corridor or in areas transitioning from the single-family homes into a neighborhood main street. The neighborhood typically includes one or more main streets (T5) or corners stores within a short walking distance from a large percentage of homes that are an important part of their walkability. There is typically an interconnected network of streets and small to medium block sizes, unless interrupted with topography constraints or other natural or infrastructure breaks. This community type is primarily composed of T3 neighborhoods, which are mostly single-family homes. The lots are likely larger or wider than those in a Traditional Neighborhood and some homes may have garage doors on the front. This community type also has a small percentage (approximately 10-20%) of T4 with small footprint, medium-density housing types – such as duplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and small apartment buildings – that are either typically along a major corridor or in areas transitioning from the single- family homes into a neighborhood main street. This community type is typically adjacent to a more auto-dependent development and the walkable portion is usually quite small. In many instances the walkable areas have been compromised by a newer auto- dependent development. The neighborhood typically includes a small main street (T5) within a short walking distance of a smaller percentage of homes. This community type is similar to a traditional neighborhood except that it has historically developed as an independent town before being annexed into the City. This means that it has more public infrastructure in place, such as a town hall or courthouse, post offices, etc. The civic uses are prominent and typically located within, or near, the T5 main street areas and at major intersections/ crossroads. This community type is similar to a Traditional Neighborhood, except that it has historically developed around a street car network and, therefore, was able to support larger/longer neighborhood main streets and a higher percentage of T4 neighborhoods along the corridors. This community type is primarily T4 neighborhoods, which are most commonly composed of attached and semi-detached rowhouse building types, and a high percentage of T5 main street areas. There is often as small percentage (less than 10%) of these areas that have a larger footprint and taller buildings within them (T6), frequently along major corridors. There is typically an interconnected network of streets and small to medium block sizes, unless interrupted with topography constraints or other natural or infrastructure breaks. This community type is primarily composed of T6 containing mid- to high-rise vertical mixed use buildings with ground floor retail and upper floor commercial or residential uses. This area serves as one of the primary employment and civic centers for the City and includes residential and institutional uses and entertainment venues, such as stadiums. The edges of this area may transition to T5 as it transitions into Urban Neighborhoods.

To the west, Live/Work or Flex units will face onto a small landscaped area. A small boardwalk will provide access to the existing boat docks that will serve as a secondary path of travel. Along the northern edge, a hardscaped plaza will transition to a boardwalk over- look that projects over the shoreline and into the turning basin. Just to the east of the overlook, a series of grand stairs cascade down to the water’s edge providing an op- portunity to interact with the water. The public building at the southern end of the Neighborhood Square provides a focal point in this area. The public building has indoor and covered outdoor space providing a view of the turning basin and further down the Petaluma River. The building could provide space for public meetings, receptions, or art exhibitions. Two-story galleries on buildings provide a covered walkway as well as private outdoor space with dramatic views of the river and downtown for upper floor users. 2-25Petaluma Station Area Master Plan Draft: April 2012 2.4 Public Space FrameworkChapter 2: Vision Petaluma, CA SMART Station Area Plan and SmartCode

Now it is time to stop talking about the problem and start generating immediate solutions! Are you ready to be part of the solution? we have been building. Rather, we need a complete paradigm shift in the way that we design, locate, regulate, and develop homes. As What’s Next states, “it’s a time to rethink and evolve, reinvent and renew.” Missing Middle housing types, such as duplexes, fourplexes, bungalow courts, mansion apartments, and live-work units, are a critical part of the solution and should be a part of every architect’s, planner’s, real estate agent’s, and developer’s arsenal. Diagram of missing middle housing types illustrating the range of types and their location between single-family homes and mid-rise buildings Well-designed, simple Missing Middle housing types achieve medium-density yields and provide high-quality, marketable options between the scales of single-family homes and mid-rise flats for walkable urban living. They are designed to meet the specific needs of shifting demographics and the new market demand and are a key component to a diverse neighborhood. They are classified as “missing” because very few of these housing types have been built since the early 1940’s due to regulatory constraints, the shift to auto-dependent patterns of development, and the incentivization of single-family home ownership. Medium density but lower perceived densities. As a starting point, these building types typically range in density from 16 dwelling units/acre (du/acre) to up to 35 du/acre, depending on the building type and lot size. It is important not to get too caught up in the density numbers when thinking about these types. Due to the small footprint of the building types and the fact that they are usually mixed with a variety of building types, even on an individual block, the perceived density is usually quite lower–they do not look like dense buildings. A combination of these types gets a neighborhood to a minimum Missing Middle Housing

The scale of this duplex makes it compatible with adjacent single-family homes. 5.01.070 Duplex, Stacked General Note: the drawings and photos below are illustrative. A. Description This Duplex building type consists of structures that contain two units, one on top of the other. This building type has the appearance of a medium to large single- family home. This type is typically integrated sparingly into single-family neighborhoods or more consistently into neighborhoods with other medium-density types such as bungalow courts, fourplexes, or courtyard apartments. This building type enables the incorporation of high-quality, well-designed density within a walkable neighborhood. This is the preferred type of duplex on 50' wide lots in Livermore neighborhoods not zoned for single-family because it is capable of accommodating two units in a smaller footprint, thus maximizing compatibility in size and privacy to the rear of adjacent units.

  • 41. © 2012 Opticos Design, Inc. | Typical Approaches to Zoning Urban Form (from least to most effective) What Should this Approach be Called? Organizing Principle New Components Created and Included Is the Overall Code Reorganized for Usability? Likely Cost Range Considerations for this Approach 1. Adding graphics to a Euclidean, use-based code Graphics- Based Code Use Primarily additional graphics and tables, content has minor changes only Not in this example Low; Primarily because it is a graphic design- usability exercise only This is completely ineffective and should be avoided. This is what you will often get if your budget is too low for a true FBC: Will look good, but will not produce predictable results. Does not address obstacles for good development or process- related issues inherent in most zoning codes. 2.Adding design guidelines/ site planning guidelines to a Euclidean, use-based code Design Guidelines or Design Standards Use Components similar to FBC components may be created, but they do not replace the code so they do not need to be as carefully vetted and many times create conflicts within the zoning code No Low; Primarily because it does not address the problems with underlying zoning Mostly ineffective due to typical issue inherent in existing code that are not addressed and may even contradict zoning. Adding another layer of regulations that confuses intent and negatively impacts usability and administration 3. Adding mixed use zones to to a Euclidean, use-based code Targeted Mixed Use Zone Application Use typically, sometimes form New base zones and zone standards only No Low; Primarily because this approach entales crating only new base zones Effectiveness depends highly on quality and clarity of existing code and development review process. If administration and the code document structure is good, and detailed visioning is completed, and the mixed use zones are not over-simplified this can begin to show good results. Existing parking, use tables, landscape standards, etc. must be vetted 4.Adding graphics, reorganizing code, cleaning up administration, and minor changes to development standards Code Clean Up and Re- organization Use Mostly just translating existing information into tables and creating drawings to support existing code information Yes Medium to high depending on scale of city or county Addresses many of the issues above, but ultimately still has use as an organizing principle, which limits the effectiveness of the code and stops it short of being an FBC. Does not typically complete documentation and analysis of place to extract the DNA that becomes the basis for the code but rather uses existing zone standards as starting point and makes changes to those Form-BasedCodes 5. Optional Form-Based Code overlay Form-Based Code Overlay Form All typical FBC elements included, process rethought for FBC application No Low to Medium, depending primarily on extent of visioning completed Administration, parking, landscape, and all other elements within code must be vetted and coordinated with intent of the FBC and potentially included in the FBc and replaced when the overlay is triggered 6. Integrating a complete Form-Based Code within a pre-existing zoning code Parallel Form-Based Code Form for FBC section, use for the rest of the pre-existing code All typical FBC elements included, process and all general standards (parking, landscaping, etc.) rethought for FBC application Sometimes Medium; Primarily due to the fact that a complete, parallel code is being created to replace the exising code in targetted areas Administration, parking, landscape, and all other elements within code must be vetted and coordinated with intent of the FBC Division. If you are doing a complete code rewrite and you choose this approach, you are writing two complete, parallel code documents which is not a good use of resources. This approach is still sending a message that the default is drivable suburban development and that FBCs are the exception Form-BasedCodes 7. Using Form as an organizing principle for the entire zoning code and using Form-Based Code components as the driver for your Table of Contents Citywide Form-Based Code Form All typical FBC elements included, process and all general standards (parking, landscaping, etc.) rethought for FBC application, admin and procedures, variances, etc. are all rethought to support the FBC Yes High; Slightly higher than #4. Due to charrettes for FBC Focus Areas, and extensive documentation and analysis phase completed, and that all standards are carefully vette In this approach, the structure of the entire zoning code is completely rethought, a new operating system is established, and thus the entire table of contents of code document is structured with a form-first philosophy. Every last bit of content from the pre-existing code is vetted for it applicability to the form-first operating system before it is transferred so that it does not compromise the intent. This approach is perfect for a city that has made a strong commitment in its city policies to promote smarter, more sustainable growth. Let Euclidean zoning regulate drivable suburban contexts, and the FBC regulate walkable urban contexts. It is called citywide Form-Based Code not because the entire city has Form-Based Coding applied, but rather the entire city has been assessed, FBC aplied to where it make sense, and the FBC application can easily spread LESSCOMPREHENSIVE&EFFECTIVEMORECOMPREHENSIVE&EFFECTIVE Classifying and Clarifying Different Approaches 41 In upcoming Zoning Practice May 2013

This community type also has a small percentage (approximately 10-20%) of T4 with small footprint, medium-density housing types – such as duplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and small apartment buildings – that are either typically along a major corridor or in areas transitioning from the single-family homes into a neighborhood main street. The neighborhood typically includes one or more main streets (T5) or corners stores within a short walking distance from a large percentage of homes that are an important part of their walkability. There is typically an interconnected network of streets and small to medium block sizes, unless interrupted with topography constraints or other natural or infrastructure breaks. This community type is primarily composed of T3 neighborhoods, which are mostly single-family homes. The lots are likely larger or wider than those in a Traditional Neighborhood and some homes may have garage doors on the front. This community type also has a small percentage (approximately 10-20%) of T4 with small footprint, medium-density housing types – such as duplexes, fourplexes, rowhouses, and small apartment buildings – that are either typically along a major corridor or in areas transitioning from the single- family homes into a neighborhood main street. This community type is typically adjacent to a more auto-dependent development and the walkable portion is usually quite small. In many instances the walkable areas have been compromised by a newer auto- dependent development. The neighborhood typically includes a small main street (T5) within a short walking distance of a smaller percentage of homes. This community type is similar to a traditional neighborhood except that it has historically developed as an independent town before being annexed into the City. This means that it has more public infrastructure in place, such as a town hall or courthouse, post offices, etc. The civic uses are prominent and typically located within, or near, the T5 main street areas and at major intersections/ crossroads. This community type is similar to a Traditional Neighborhood, except that it has historically developed around a street car network and, therefore, was able to support larger/longer neighborhood main streets and a higher percentage of T4 neighborhoods along the corridors. This community type is primarily T4 neighborhoods, which are most commonly composed of attached and semi-detached rowhouse building types, and a high percentage of T5 main street areas. There is often as small percentage (less than 10%) of these areas that have a larger footprint and taller buildings within them (T6), frequently along major corridors. There is typically an interconnected network of streets and small to medium block sizes, unless interrupted with topography constraints or other natural or infrastructure breaks. This community type is primarily composed of T6 containing mid- to high-rise vertical mixed use buildings with ground floor retail and upper floor commercial or residential uses. This area serves as one of the primary employment and civic centers for the City and includes residential and institutional uses and entertainment venues, such as stadiums. The edges of this area may transition to T5 as it transitions into Urban Neighborhoods.
