“Post-planning Design Reviews”
A. Our Planning Legacy
Most Architects Are Challenged by Good Design!7

“Post-planning Design Reviews”
A. Our Planning Legacy
Good, Authentic, Architecture is Important, and So is Sense of Place!8

Sometimes we get lucky! There are a few architects who design well!

The Sum of Our Planning Experiences!
A. Our Planning Legacy
Our focus has been on “functional,” two-dimensional planning We have been too auto-oriented Our roadway systems still struggle to serve us well We have isolated land uses We have either forgotten or never learnt how to create “places”
But, it may not be too late for us…10

“Urban Architecture” One Definition: Hausmmann’s!12

MB. The Power of Place
Specific Area Urban Design Plans Integrating Urban Form with Discrete, Cohesive Architecture
A Point of Departure: Learning from Precedents!

MB. The Power of Place
What Do We Learn?
High quality livable places do not relate to density or FAR ratios
Livable and high quality places result from well-thought urban design plans that consider urban form, discrete architecture, integrated open spaces/gathering places, and transportation/ access all at once

MC. What Are Form-Based Codes?
“FBC’s Are A Zoning Tool to Help Implement an Urban Vision” --- My definition!
Now That We Understand Urban Form, Community Character, Power of Place, Livability…Viability, Sustainability
Goal: Attain Desired Urban Form

MC. What Are Form-Based Codes?
1. Relatively New Regulation Tool in Illinois
2. Based on A Community Vision
3. Focus is the Public Realm (Form and Quality of the Outside Built Environment)
4. Place-specific to Retain Existing Character
5. Several Urban Standards
6. Graphic/More Comprehensible
7. Predictable Urban Form and Character
8. Different from Conventional Zoning Regulations• FBCs more concerned with Urban Form, Less with Use• Facilitate mixing of uses• Not concerned with F.A.R.s, Densities and Lot Coverages• Allow administrative approval of projects

MC. What Are Form-Based Codes?
Project Credit: Dover Kohl & Partners
Mixing of Uses in Acceptable Urban Form
• PREDICTABILITY of massing and bulk of future projects
• Less public concern about bulk and other impacts
• Potential benefit: Streamlined project review process
• Good for developers too

An Integrated Approach with Standards for: Thoroughfares, Frontages, Building Types, Public Spaces, Landscaping – All Linked to a Regulating Plan
Typically More Easily Comprehensible and Administered
D. Components of Form-Based Codes

Building Bulk and Frontage Standards
D. Components of Form-Based Codes
23
Discrete designs with well-proportioned building elements
Building designs that could stand significant improvements

Building Standards + Architectural Design Review
D. Components of Form-Based Codes

Building meets FBC standards,but…

ME. Advantages of FBCs
Conventional/Euclidian FBCs
Based on Abstract Land Use and
Zoning Categories
Segregated/Isolated Uses
Proscribes (What Not Allowed)
Unpredictable Building Bulk/Form
(F.A.R.s and Densities by Lot Size)
Unpredictable Character
No Sense of Place
Based on Adopted Community Vision
Mixed Uses
Prescribe (What is Desirable)
Predictable Building/Urban Form
(Bulk Limits regardless of Lot Size )
Vision of Built Form Predetermined
based on Site Development Capacity
Analyses (Max. Heights, Bulk);
Retain existing or create new
character
Power of Place

MF. Why Form-Based Codes Now?
An Opportune Time to Learn New ToolSignificant Changes:Economic, Demographic and Climate
Can We Sustain Current Development Patterns?Will current patterns be viable in the future?
Could We be Better-off Learning New Tools? As Planners could we Meet the Challenges and Take Better Hold of the Future of Our Communities?

Anticipating new developments patterns that may mean planning to create more “PLACES” in the future…
FBCs offer a new way for us to plan ahead!
