Please keep in mind
These ideas are based upon our research on the study
area, our professional experience, and what weve beenhearing from the public.
These ideas have been developed within the past three
days our first stab.
These ideas are fluid and subject to change based uponyour feedback tonight.
Because of the tight time-frame of charrettes, some of thegraphics will be refined later.

Concept Plan
Physical Planning Principles
1) Land uses should be diverse and physically integrated (horizontallyand vertically) - mixed use, not multi-use
2) Buildings should have a human scale (heights, widths, faademassing)
3) Architectural styles should create a cohesive appearance and reflecta unique character appropriate to Lookout Mountain
4) Accommodate vehicles, but design for pedestrians (parking limited to
on-street and behind buildings, well-designed streetscapes)
5) Provide generous public space (parks, plazas, adaptable for events)
