Frisco US 380 | Overlay District Design Strategy

THE PROCESS

The US 380 Overlay District plan establishes efficient use of land while maintaining and enhancing local aesthetics. The concept presented in the design guidelines encourage a balance of land uses to serve the needs of citizens and ensure a diverse business economic base.

The following provides a proposed timeline of critical dates with corresponding deliverables / benchmarks (i.e. studies, graphics, reports, maps, presentations to Committee and/or Planning & Zoning Commission and Frisco City Council, etc.) that reflects the dates of the RFP. The following is a performance based schedule created by the Halff/JHP Team.

phase 1Analysis/Assessment

Analysis and assessment of US 380 study area corridor defining recommendation from the Frisco Comprehensive Plan, City of Frisco development goals, City Council strategic plan, population and employment projections, proposed building patterns, building typologies and densities, natural systems for pedestrian trail connections, multi‐modal transportation systems and more as required.

PHASE 2Overlay Strategy Framework

The phase brings together the goals for the corridor and a framework is created. Framework includes; building areas, multi‐modal transport networks, natural system corridors, typical infrastructure systems, green infrastructure systems, gateways, PLACEmaking nodes / edges and bonds them together with stakeholder goals for the corridor.

PHASE 3Draft Overlay Design Guidelines

Design guidelines are created at an 80% completion level (DRAFT) for the components: architecture and building systems; landscape trails, streetscapes, open space, gateways and district / sub‐district identity treatments; multi‐modal corridors; and sustainability metrics. Public engagement efforts will connect with stakeholder for input and reflection.

PHASE 4FINAL Overlay District Design Guidelines

Design guidelines are created at a 100% completion level (FINAL) for the components: architecture and building systems; landscape trails, streetscapes, open space, gateways and district / sub‐district identity treatments; multi‐modal corridors; and sustainability metrics. Public engagement efforts will connect with stakeholder for input and reflection.
