EXHIBIT A including proposed policy language for the Specific Plan transportation section. KAI will also review and provide comments on the proposed Transportation section of the Preliminary Draft TOD Specific Plan. One (1) round of revisions is assumed. Task 3.2.2: Pedestrian-friendly Design/Placemaking and Accessible Design Guidelines. VMWP Pedestrian-friendly Design September 2016 will produce building, open space, and street design guidelines or standards that focus on Standards pedestrian-oriented design that enhances walkability, pedestrian and bicycle comfort and convenience, and the safety and security of transit riders in and around the planning area. Possible approaches may include pedestrian-friendly design guidelines, form based code, street design guidelines and context sensitive solutions. These guidelines will be prepared and presented Accessible Design Memo in conjunction with Task 3.2.1 (Multi-modal Access and Connectivity) above. Graphics and visuals will be essential to and required for the design guidelines. Graphic presentation may include architectural drawings and renderings, massing studies, cross-sectional views, elevation drawings, etc. Key elements which will be illustrated include: • Streetscape/sidewalk and other pedestrian improvements • Building frontage and building form requirements • Commercial and residential frontage along major corridors • Pedestrian and bicycle improvement requirements/projects • Open space concepts for improvements such as small publically accessible plazas or seating areas • Building massing and transition requirements from corridor frontage parcels to neighborhood homes The consultant will also create an accessibility design plan for people with disabilities and the elderly that ensure fully accessible transit stations, accessible paths between transit and surrounding areas, and visitable and habitable housing units adjacent to applicable transit stations and in the planning area, where feasible. Visitable means a dwelling unit where a person with a disability can visit with an accessible restroom. Habitable means a dwelling unit where a person with a disability can live with an accessible bedroom. Note that if new housing is proposed within the planning area, at least 10% of townhomes should be habitable by persons with disabilities. VMWP will work with others to prioritize projects for accessibility impact to the project area so that as projects are implemented the accessibility features are raised as a top priority.
