WHERE: 1 — 20 @ US Bus. 287 and southeast along Kennedale Parkway. OVERVIEW: Kennedale Parkway's commercial history of "SOBs," various automotive uses including but not limited to salvage yards, and its predominance towards industrial along the city's main street makes the most creative and evolutionary economic development plans necessary in order to compete with Kennedale's neighbors including Arlington and Mansfield for new high-quality growth and _ sales tax dollars. ACTION POINTS: 1 . Envision Kennedale Parkway as a finished project and establish incentives (see #2) and commercial building guidelines that will enable this desired result. - 2. Create a development incentive package including Tax Increment Financing District(s), standards for potential sales tax rebates, and EDC matching grants for revitalized commercial projects along Kennedale Parkway. ' (Revised 28 August 2006) 3. Continue with all efforts to attract a visionary developer for core sites including attracting TownCenter Kennedale and 1-201Loop 8201Bus 287 development teams. Note, city or developer must control land. 4. In lieu of new developer, city may offer to control selected key site(s) by contracting with landowner(s) and then soliciting redevelopment bids. 5. Buyout undesirable land 1 building uses along entire Oil corridor and offer these sites for resale with incentives to redevelop to match city's vision. 6. If city is unable to come to mutually agreeable contract(s), use - � creative redevelopment alternatives in order to secure targeted property(ies) for economic revitalization and i improvement. i 7. Start beautification plan on Kennedale Parkway especially around Municipal Downtown. Plant new trees along the Parkway. 8. Encourage new high-quality executive residential building north and south of Kennedale Parkway. 9. Allow higher density lifestyle residential in mixed use commercial projects and special designated areas southwest of the Parkway in order to increase market appeal for Kennedale retailers and restaurants. 10. Decide on commercial appeal of continued motor sports in city. If desired — market it as a major visitor attraction and feature it in City branding efforts. CORE SITE TIME FRAME: • Land Control Process, Incentive Package Implementation, Generic Corridor Planning and Developer / Tenant Soliciting: 1 to 2 years - Specific Developer Site Planning and Tenant Recruitment: 1 j to 2 years • Project Construction to Grand Opening of Vt Phase; 1 year i A Total Estimated Development Time of 3 to 5 Years. 2 pal �° / llW1Yi��1Y/ L�11�G/M/Y4��/C�(/��/ ��/i► �- GOAL: Create a unified core for city commerce and local activities in a pleasing, safe, convenient, and fun environment for citizens, visitors, and guests to shop, eat, work, play, and live. 1 .

With your permission, I would like to send you various trade articles that review these elements that build a common thread throughout many successful developments. This first article was published by Urban Land Institute summarizing experts as they discuss sprawl concerns and building community in cities and commercial endeavors. I hope you find this interesting and please let me know if you have any questions. Director of Economic Development - EDC City of Kennedale 405 Municipal Drive Kennedale, TX 76060 msoab@cityofkennedale.com 817-572-1171 8/28/2006 Place Making: Filling the Void Caused by Suburban Sprawl For more information, contact Marge Fahey at 2021624-7187; E-mail: mfaheya-uli.org Creating authentic places with a mix of uses that provide an identity and a sense of community is difficult, complex and requires a variety of approaches, according to industry experts at the Urban Land Institute's recent Place Making Conference in Houston. "There is no formula," said Howard F. Elkus, Elkus/Manfredi Architects in Boston. "It's about details; a variety of spaces and places." Sprawling subdivisions built further and further from the city's core have eroded American's sense of community. "Today, 74 percent of rural counties are growing at their fastest rate in 20 years," said Joel E. Embry, president, Home Town Neighborhoods, Inc., in Fernandina Beach, Florida. This sprawl increases the desire of people to reconnect to real places, Embry added. Place making is about recreating that sense of place as it relates to the whole community. "Place making is focusing on activities of daily living," Embry said. "We are at the threshold of a major lifestyle change," he said. The 76 million baby boomers (1946-1964) are changing lifestyles around 55. Developers will rise or fall based on their ability to respond to this trend, Embry said. The reality of place making starts with a market, said Brian R. Stebbins, chief executive officer, Cooper & Stebbins in Southlake, Texas. But he pointed out a number of other necessary elements in place making: • a comprehensive master plan that evolves over time; • a mixed-use environment that includes shops, restaurants, movie theaters, offices, hotels, residential, government and public spaces; • a plan and design that is sensitive to the geographical location; • a pedestrian friendly environment; • a variety of public meeting places; • a focus on night time as well as day time activities; • an emphasis on architectural details - make buildings look like what they are, • public gatherings and traditions, like "Art in the Square," Independence Day celebrations, high school homecoming parades, or a holiday tree lighting with Santa Claus; a requirement for tax incremental financing of public improvements.. The goal is to create places people will come to regularly. Different types of architecture can convey the impression of evolution over time, but the most critical elements are streets and great public spaces. One element of place making is public transit, which can unlock the development potential of a location, said Charles C. Bohl, director, Knight Program in Community Building, University of Miami School of Architecture in Coral Gables, Florida. Research shows that for transit to be successful it needs to be part of a large network, such as New York City, which has the lowest car ownership in the country, said Dena Belzer, principal, Strategic Economics in Berkeley, California. Belzer pointed out that Arlington County, Virginia has successfully created density around its Rosslyn-Ballston corridor transit stations. Consider this: 38 percent of residents take transit to work, 73 percent of riders walk to transit, 12 percent of residents don't own cars, and one-third of the real estate tax base comes from only 8 percent of its land. The city of Plano, Texas has become a transit village, said Phyllis M. Jarrell, director of planning for the city. In 1960, Plano had 3,000 residents; today it has 250,000. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit station in Plano is a block off Main Street; within a half mile of the DART station are 3,500 housing units. To spur transit oriented development, the city created public-private partnerships and used land banking, tax incremental financing, and Neighborhood Empowerment Zones. "The city had to educate politicians," Jarrell said. "Cities have to become facilitators rather than regulators," she added. Place making is about creating a destination and reinventing communities and requires innovation. The site of a former Naval Air Station in Glenview, Illinois now contains 2,000 homes and 1 million square feet of office space with a 400-acre central core devoted to sports, leisure and entertainment. It serves as a center for the community by providing social inclusion and interaction, said Donald Owen, director of capital projects and planning for the Village of Glenview. The area includes a 470,000 square foot town center, two golf courses, a children's museum, a community center, a 40-acre lake, soccer fields, tennis courts and an amphitheater. "The aging population is changing the profile of communities but that's not the only demographic," said Paul F. Morris, vice president, PB PlaceMaking in Washington, D.C, "The success of communities is the diversity of age and uses." Developers have to reinvent communities and need to become a part of the community building process, he said. The adversarial relationship between builders and communities needs to change. And the process has to change: It has to be timely, predictable, collaborative, and evolutionary. "The challenge is finding a way to get the planning process clone in 12 to 24 months." The Urban Land Institute (wwvv.0 qg. ) is a nonprofit education and research institute supported by its members. Its mission is to provide responsible leadership in the use of land in order to enhance the total environment. Each year, the institute honors an extraordinary community builder through the ULI J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development. Established in 1936, the Institute has more than 28,000 members representing all aspects of land use and development disciplines.

This project is driven by EDS, JCPenney, and the tremendous growth in the Plano area. However, the elements remain the same for"live, work, play, shop" town centers — a mixture of retail, restaurants, residential, and municipal & commercial offices as the centerpieces of"New Urbanism." Other nearby examples of similar developments can be found in Southlake, Addison, Colleyville, and Keller. "In addition to the historic Old Town, our Keller Town Center sits in a beautiful park setting of open green spaces, lakes, walking paths, and trails. Town Center offers mixed-use retail, office, municipal facilities, and residential communities that are all pedestrian-friendly and with connections to our extensive trail system. This urban center is home to Keller Town Hall as well as the Keller ISD's Natatorium. In June 2004, we celebrated the opening of The Keller Pointe, a recreation and aquatic facility that is considered to be state-of-the-art and described as the best facility of its kind in the southwest." -- Keller-Mayor.hilie Tandy (littp://www.kellercli amber_comlaboutkeller/index.htrri) 414 CVOQ6 Director of Economic Development - EDC City of Kennedale 405 Municipal Drive Kennedale, TX 76060 msoab@cityofkennedale.com 817572-1171 8/2812006 City Life Fake Towns Rise, Offering Urban Life Without the Grit Mix of Office, Home and Play Threatens the Real Thing; But Where'sq Ifie (grocery? lr. Pettit Dod[- e 'Riffraff By THADDEUS HERRICK May 31, 2006 PLANO, Texas ee On a recent Friday night, Bishop Road was hopping. Land Rovers and Lexuses inched down the two-lane street. On the brick sidewalks, a steel band played Bob Marley tunes as couples strolled past boutiques, bars and restaurants, lines spilling out the door. Until a few years ago, Bishop Road was a grassy field in the midst of a gargantuan office park. Today, it's the main drag of Legacy Town Center, a 75-acre development 20 miles north of Gallas that's home to 4,000 people. The project has been such a hit that developers are building on an additional 75 acres across the street. Legacy Town Center is one of dozens of faux downtowns popping up across the country, from Kansas City to Washington, D.C., spurred by a demand for urban living scrubbed of the reality of city life. A careful mix of retail, residential and office space built with traditional materials such as stone and brick, Legacy looks like a city but has neither panhandlers nor potholes. Many residents rarely venture even to downtown Dallas, which has been trying to turn itself into place to live for almost a decade. "There's too much riffraff down there," says Ron Pettit, a 36-year-old contractor, as he snacks on brie and grapes at a table outside Bishop Road's Main Street Bakery and Bistro. In Flagstaff, Ariz., buyers have snapped up almost all of the 125 residential units on offer at Presidio in the Pines, a town center under construction on 91 acres of forest. North of Charlotte, N.C., on the site of a former dairy farm, is Birkdale Village, which consists of 52 acres intended to recall a New England coastal town. It features 320 apartments, most of which are stacked above shops and restaurants. A view of Bishop Road, part of Legacy Town Center in Plano, Texas. Even though these faux downtowns contain tinges of suburbia, they're taking advantage of a growing backlash against the sprawl that rings Dallas and other U.S. cities. The reaction began in the 1980s with the rise of New Urbanism, a movement of architects and planners calling for a return to traditional towns where people work, shop, live and play. Among the most ,prominent of those theorists was Andr6s Duany, a leading figure behind Seaside, a planned pedestrian community on the Florida Panhandle that was the setting for the 1998 movie, "The Truman Show." Suburban growth, Mr. ®uany argued, was unsustainable because it consumes land at a high rate while creating horrendous traffic. In the 1990s, Americans started venturing back into cities that had emptied out in prior decades. Basking in the glow of falling crime rates and glamorized by television shows such as "Seinfeld" and "Friends," cities themselves began to woo residential and retail development. For a developer, however, it's much easier to make a fake city than it is to work on real downtowns with their patchwork landholdings and planning restrictions. The developers of Legacy were able to carve up the land pretty much as they pleased. The result: more than 1,500 apartments and town houses, some 80 shops and restaurants, two mid-rise office towers and a Marriott Hotel. The concept also attracted developers looking for alternatives to malls, a concept rapidly losing favor among shoppers. Only one mall has opened in 2006, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers, a New York City-based trade group. By contrast, more than 60 so-called lifestyle centers -- outdoor shopping areas with plazas, fountains and pedestrian streets -- are planned to open this year and next. To attract more shoppers, and therefore retailers, developers started building homes on these sites. Steiner + Associates of Columbus, Ohio, a leading builder of town centers, initially included only retail and office space at the $300 million Easton Town Center near Columbus, which was completed in 2001. When another developer added apartments across the street, Yaromir Steiner, chief executive of Steiner + Associates, noticed the low vacancies and high rents. "We realized how a commodity apartment could turn into a specialty product," he said. When Mr. Steiner built Zona Rosa, a 93-acre project on farmland north of Kansas City, he included 33 loft apartments. One of his latest projects, The Greene, near Dayton, Ohio, is built on woodland and will include 136 residential units when it opens this summer. These projects could be bad news for real downtowns, especially those competing with redeveloped sites near the city center. AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corp. and Jacoby Development Inc. are redeveloping a massive steel mill just north of downtown Atlanta into a community known as Atlantic Station. The developers had to remove 165,000 tons of contaminated material. They now intend to build a small city on the 133-acre site, which could house as many as 10,000 residents. Houston has poured some $4 billion into downtown stadiums, roads and light rail in the past decade. But 27 miles to the north, the Woodlands Town Center has sold out of newly constructed lofts and replica brownstones in the midst of an affluent planned community. "The question is whether this demand for urban-style living -- density, transportation alternatives, proximity to work -- is broad enough to accommodate the resurgence of traditional downtowns," says Bruce Katz, founder and director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C., think tank. Just like the real thing, faux downtowns are vulnerable to the vagaries of the local economy, a problem that's magnified by the big upfront investment required. Federal Realty Investment Trust bet heavily on Santana Row, a $455 million project three miles from downtown San Jose that opened in 2002 on the site of a former shopping center. With its Mediterranean-inspired architecture, Santana Row was intended to provide an urban island for professionals in Silicon Valley. But the collapse of the tech industry, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and a catastrophic fire buffeted the project. Some high-end retailers that considered opening there ended up riot making commitments, city officials say. In 2003, Federal Realty Chief Executive Steve Guttman resigned. Improving Fortunes Departing from the script, the company lured big-box stores such as Best Buy to generate foot traffic. As the economy improved, so too did the fortunes of Santana Row. Today, city officials say the project with 70 shops and 19 restaurants and a mix of town homes, condominiums and apartments es is a draw for Silicon Valley residents. Don Wood, the current chief executive of Federal Realty, says building an instant city is considerably harder than a standard development. Santana Row took seven years to complete. "Over that period of time, the world changed," he says. "We started construction in one economic environment and finished in another." Legacy Town Center is built in a contemporary style, with hints of Frank Lloyd Wright. Its use of brick and limestone give it an old-time veneer. Retail buildings have been built at different heights to make the town center look like it's evolved over decades. It's situated on 2,700 acres acquired by Electronic Data Systems Corp. under then-chairman Ross Perot in the late 1970s. EDS built its headquarters on one parcel in 19$5 and began selling the remaining parts to other companies, including J.C. Penney Co., which also built its headquarters there. By the late 1990s, the Legacy area was an impressive industrial park, but little more. Although tens of thousands of people worked there, it didn't have a restaurant, a gas station or a dry cleaner. Marilyn Kasko, who ran the office park for EDS at the time, says she was troubled that employees had to live, work and shop in separate places. She also felt EDS needed to offer something more to attract new companies to set up shop there. She didn't know exactly what. One answer was provided by Mr. Duany of the New Urbanist movement. In the late 1990s, Ms. Kasko hired Mr. Duany's Miami-based architecture and planning firm, Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., to sketch out a vision for the empty land. His idea: a lively urban enclave with little surface parking. By carefully setting distances between offices and shops and apartments, Mr. Duany tried to make Legacy a walking community. "The issue was how to bring people closer to the places they go," said Mr. Duany. Sliding Back Like many such projects, Legacy began to slide back into the classic suburban mold. Fehmi Karahan, whose Karahan Companies developed the retail portion of the project, wanted to lure national retailers, even though Legacy Town Center is sandwiched between two giant malls in Frisco and Plano. One big out-of-town retailer, furniture chain Robb & Stucky of Fort Myers, Fla., had little intention of following the New Urbanist playbook. The company wanted more than 100,000 square feet for a store, plus surface parking. The upshot was a compromise: The Robb & Stucky store was built at an angle to the road to disguise its size, and its facade was covered in various textures to mitigate the big-box feel. At the demand of other prospective retailers, Mr. Karahan built surface parking lots in front of shops facing six-lane Legacy Drive. Built in four phases, The Shops at Legacy opened in April 2002 with about a dozen stores, including Starbucks. Mr. Karahan also went after established Dallas retailers and managed to attract popular restaurants such as Bob's Steak & Chop House and Mi Cocina. Retailers that pushed for surface parking turned out to be wrong. Today, the hottest location isn't Legacy Drive but the narrow Bishop Road, where the stores are a sidewalk's width from the curb. Nancy Chesser closed her "vintage vogue" boutique Ambrosia, which was on Legacy [give. "The [foot] traffic was terrible," she says. Mr. Karahan says business on Legacy Drive is adequate. He has other headaches to worry about. Speeding has become a problem, so he's installing speed bumps on Bishop Road. Several retailers have reported thefts, despite the security cameras mounted on exterior walls and roofs. For many, Legacy provides a sense of community that is lacking at typical suburban apartment complexes. The development is built around a three-acre park, complete with a manmade lake, a destination for runners and dog walkers. In the evening residents gather along Bishop Road, where jazz is piped through speakers beneath mature live oaks. Some live in town homes that sell for more than $400,000. Others are renting studio apartments for about $600 a month. "It's perfect for someone who doesn't want to come home from work, sit on the couch and watch TW' said Mr. Pettit, the contractor. On the recent Friday night, couples waited two deep to order Cabernet Sauvignon at $18 a glass at a wine bar called CrO. Up the street, the five-screen Angelika Film Center was showing John Malkovich in "Art School Confidential." But the most striking thing about Legacy Town Center is what it doesn't have. Like a modern suburb, it has no nearby hardware store. It has no churches or libraries. Nor is Legacy home to many children. The closest public elementary school is three miles away. Legacy has no public transportation, so almost everyone has a car. Residents who work at corporate headquarters less than a mile away often drive to work because outside of Legacy there are no sidewalks. Residents jump in their cars to run errands at Plano malls and shopping centers as if they lived in a local subdivision. Jon Stewart, 43, who moved here from suburban Maryland two years ago, says he's happy with the amenities, with one exception: "The only thing lacking is a grocery store."

It is an international movement to reform the design of the built environment, and is about raising our quality of life and standard of living by creating better places to live. New Urbanism is the revival of our lost art of place-making, and is essentially a re-ordering of the built environment into the form of complete cities, towns, villages, and neighborhoods the way communities have been built for centuries around the world. New Urbanism involves fixing and infilling cities, as well as the creation of compact new towns and villages. THE PRINCIPLES OF NEW URBANISM The principles of New Urbanism can be applied increasingly to projects at the full range of scales from a single building to an entire community. I. Walkability -Most things within a 10-minute walk of home and work -Pedestrian friendly street design (buildings close to street; porches, windows & doors; tree-lined streets; on street parking; hidden parking lots; garages in rear lane; narrow, slow speed streets) -Pedestrian streets free of cars in special cases 2. Connectivity Interconnected street grid network disperses traffic & eases walking -A hierarchy of narrow streets, boulevards, and alleys -High quality pedestrian network and public realm makes walking pleasurable 3. Mixed-Use & Diversity -A mix of shops, offices, apartments, and homes on site. Mixed-use within neighborhoods, within blocks, and within buildings -Diversity of people - of ages, income levels, cultures, and races 4. Mined Housing E A range of types, sizes and prices in closer proximity 5. Quality Architecture & Urban Design Emphasis on beauty, aesthetics, human comfort, and creating a sense of place; Special placement of civic uses and sites within community. Human scale architecture & beautiful surroundings nourish the human spirit 6. Traditional Neighborhood Structure -Discernable center and edge -Public space at center -importance of quality public realm; public open space designed as civic art -Contains a range of uses and densities within 10-minute walk -Transect planning: Highest densities at town center; progressively less dense towards the edge. The transect is an analytical system that conceptualizes mutually reinforcing elements, creating a series of specific natural habitats and/or urban lifestyle settings. The Transect integrates environmental methodology for habitat assessment with zoning methodology for community design. The professional boundary between the natural and man-made disappears, enabling environmentalists to asses the design of the human habitat and the urbanists to support the viability of nature. This urban-to-rural transect hierarchy has appropriate building and street types for each area along the continuum. V. ❑ 41 fi P I. I I I ] I I 1 1 ! N , . I l i l = 1. f. !

BENEFITS TO RESIDENTS Higher quality of life; Better places to live, work, & play; Higher, more stable property values; Less traffic congestion & less driving; Healthier lifestyle with more walking, and less stress; Close proximity to main street retail & services; Close proximity to bike trails, parks, and nature; Pedestrian friendly communities offer more opportunities to get to know others in the neighborhood and town, resulting in meaningful relationships with more people, and a friendlier town; More freedom and independence to children, elderly, and the poor in being able to get to jobs, recreation, and services without the need for a car or someone to drive them; Great savings to residents and school boards in reduced busing costs from children being able to walk or bicycle to neighborhood schools; More diversity and smaller, unique shops and services with local owners who are involved in community; Big savings by driving less, and owning less cars; Less ugly, congested sprawl to deal with daily; Better sense of place and community identity with more unique architecture; More open space to enjoy that will remain open space; More efficient use of tax money with less spent on spread out utilities and roads 2. BENEFITS TO BUSINESSES Increased sales due to more foot traffic & people spending less on cars and gas; More profits due to spending less on advertising and large signs; Better lifestyle by living above shop in live-work units - saves the stressful & costly commute; Economies of scale in marketing due to close proximity and cooperation with other local businesses; Smaller spaces promote small local business incubation; Lower rents due to smaller spaces & smaller parking lots; Healthier lifestyle due to more walking and being near healthier restaurants; More community involvement from being part of community and knowing residents 3. BENEFITS TO DEVELOPERS More income potential from higher density mixed-use projects due to more leasable square footage, more sales per square foot, and higher property values and selling prices; Faster approvals in communities that have adopted smart growth principles resulting in cost/time savings; Cost savings in parking facilities in mixed-use properties due to sharing of spaces throughout the day and night, resulting in less duplication in providing parking; Less need for parking facilities due to mix of residences and commercial uses within walking distance of each other; Less impact on roads f traffic, which can result in lower impact fees; Lower cost of utilities due to compact nature of New Urbanist design; Greater acceptance by the public and less resistance from NIMBYS; Faster sell out due to greater acceptance by consumers from a wider product range resulting in wider market share 4,� BENEFf(S TO MUNICIPALI`PES Stable, appreciating tax base; Less spent per capita on infrastructure and utilities than typical suburban development due to compact, high-density nature of projects; Increased tax base due to more buildings packed into a tighter area; Less traffic congestion due to walkability of design; Less crime and less spent on policing due to the presence of more people day and night; Less resistance from community; Better overall community image and sense of place; Less incentive to sprawl when urban core area is desirable; Easy to install transit where it's not, and improve it where it is; Greater civic involvement of population leads to Metter governance WAYS TO IMPLEMENT NFW URBANISM The most effective way to implement New Urbanism is to plan for it, and write it into zoning and development codes. This directs all future development into this form. Read about the new SmartCode New ter°banism is best planned at 0 levels of dleveOopmenta -The single building -Groups of buildings -The urban block -The neighborhood -Networks of neighborhoods -Towns -Cities -Regions Increasingly, regional planning techniques are being used to control and shape growth into compact, high-density, mixed-use neighborhoods, villages, towns, and cities. Planning new train systems (instead of more roads) delivers the best results when designed in harmony with regional land planning •- known as Transit Oriented Development (TOD). At the same time, the revitalization of urban areas directs and encourages infill development back into city centers. Planning for compact growth, rather than letting it sprawl out, has the potential to greatly increase the quality of the environment. It also prevents congestion problems and the environmental degradation normally associated with growth. OBSTACLES TO (OVERCOME The most important obstacle to overcome is the restrictive and incorrect zoning codes currently in force in most municipalities. Current codes do not allow New Urbanism to be built, but do allow sprawl. Adopting a TND ordinance and/or a system of 'smart codes' allows New Urbanism to be built easily without having to rewrite existing codes. The New Ur meow.

Commercial is also a part and is treated differently than traditional strip/mall projects. New Urbanistic projects are those that have all facets of living, working, shopping, playing, etc, in close proximity of each other. New Urbanism is a choice. It does not need to be in all areas of any city. It does not replace traditional residential and commercial in most. New Urbanism developments blend elements together in interesting and walkable neighborhoods —a lifestyle alternative to sprawl. Potential sites for Kennedale New Urban projects are the TownCenter Kennedale district and 1-20 @ Kennedale Parkway. Mike The New Urbanism: An alternative to modern, automobile-oriented planning and development ROBERT STEUTEVILLE Through the first quarter of the last century, the United States was developed in the form of The new urbanist Redmond 'town Center compact, mixed-use neighborhoods. The contrasts with the typical strip commercial pattern began to change with the emergence of development of suburbia, below. modern architecture and zoning and ascension of the automobile. After World War 11, a new system of development was implemented nationwide, replacing neighborhoods with a rigorous separation of uses that has become known as conventional suburban development (CSD),or sprawl. The majority of US citizens now live in suburban communities built in the last 50 years. Although CSD has been popular, it carries a significant price, Lacking a town center or pedestrian scale, CSD spreads out to consume large areas of countryside even as population grows relatively slowly.

The working poor living in suburbia spend a large portion of their incomes on car's. Meanwhile, the American landscape where most people live and work is dominated by strip malls, auto-oriented civic and commercial buildings, and subdivisions without much individuality or character. The New Urbanism is a reaction to sprawl.A growing movement of architects, planners, and developers, the New Urbanism is based on principles of planning and architecture that work together to create human-scale,walkable communities. New urbanists take a wide variety of approaches—some work exclusively on infill projects, others focus on transit-oriented development, still others are attempting to transform the suburbs, and many are working in all of these categories. The New Urbanism includes traditional architects and those with modernist sensibilities.All, however, believe In the power and ability of traditional neighborhoods to restore functional, sustainable communities. The trend had its roots in the work of maverick architects and planners in the 1970s and 1980s who coalesced into a unified group in the 1990s. From modest beginnings, the trend is beginning to have a substantial impact. More than 600 new towns, villages, and neighborhoods are planned or under construction in the US, using principles of the New Urbanism. Additionally, hundreds of small-scale new urban infill projects are restoring the urban fabric of cities and towns by reestablishing walkable streets and blocks. On the regional scale, the New Urbanism is having a growing influence on how and where metropolitan regions choose to grow. At least 14 large-scale planning initiatives are based on the principles of linking transportation and land-use policies and using the neighborhood as the fundamental building block of a region. In Maryland and several other states, new urbanist principles are an integral part of smart growth legislation. Moreover, the New Urbanism is beginning to have widespread impact on conventional development.Just as Starbucks raised the quality of coffee in competing restaurants and cafes,mainstream developers are adopting new urban design elements such as garages in the rear of houses, neighborhood greens and 9n12o06 + �µ "1 u ��t 4f" ,.� Kentlands in Gaithersburg, Maryland, above, and Haile Village Center in 1° Gainesville, Florida, combine modern homes and businesses with t compact, walkable, streets and public spaces. , L �l r G I , r I�F `F � Y Message - Page 3 of 7 mixed-use town centers. Projects that adopt some principles of New Urbanism but remain largely conventional in design are known as i hybrids. The New Urbanism trend goes by other names, including neotraditional design, transit-oriented development, and traditional neighborhood development. Borrowing from urban design concepts throughout history, the New Urbanism does not merely replicate old communities. New houses within neighborhoods,for example, must provide modern living spaces and amenities that consumers demand (and that competing suburban tract homes offer). Stores and businesses must have sufficient parking, modern floor plans, and connections to automobile and pedestrian traffic, and/or transit systems. With proper design, large office, light industrial, and even "big box" retail buildings can be situated in a walkable new urbanist neighborhood. Parking lots,the most prominent feature of conventional commercial districts, are accommodated to the side and the rear of new urban businesses.The size of lots are reduced through shared parking, on- street parking,and shifts to other modes of transportation. Another difference between the old and the New Urbanism is the street grid. Historic cities and towns in the US employ a grid that is relentlessly regular. New urbanists generally use a "modified"grid,with"T" intersections and street deflections to calm traffic and increase visual interest. That blending of old and new is the basis of the adjective neotraditional, a term that carries a lot of baggage, especially with modernists, who see it as an architectural"style." However, it is more of an urban design approach that borrows from the past while adapting to the present and future. The very fact that new urbanists must meet the demands of the marketplace keeps them grounded in reality. Successful New Urbanism performs a difficult balancing act by maintaining the integrity of a walkable, human-scale neighborhood while offering modern residential and commercial "product"to compete with CSD. New urbanists who cannot compete with conventional development or find a niche that is poorly served by the real estate industry are doomed to failure. The difficulty of that balancing act is one reason why many developers choose to build hybrids, 9/7/2006 12 49 1�( I 1 09 -9, 117 19, q --v sprawl ire 77 VL Ok - A OF IF IF 12 VY j: t IfT JWL hP.4 in v v 64 4 fq T.""WfAll �;W A ML MI a !I t gd,-Mod town A14 Sprawl and traditional neighborhoods consist of identical parts, configured differently. 14 Diagram by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company Message Page 4 of 7 instead of adopting all of the principles of the New Urbanism.

New Urbanism. Other new urbanists believe that Diagram by Duany Plater-Zyberk&Company hybrids represent a positive step forward from CSD. Principles of the New Urbanism The heart of the New Urbanism is in the design of neighborhoods,which can be defined by 13 elements, according to town planners Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater Zyberk,two of the founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism.An authentic neighborhood contains most of these elements: 1)The neighborhood has a discernible center. This is often a square or a green and sometimes a busy or memorable street corner. A transit stop would be located at this center. 2) Most of the dwellings are within a five- minute walk of the center, an average of roughly 2,000 feet. 3)There are a variety of dwelling types usually houses, rowhouses and apartments so that younger and older people,singles and families,the poor and the wealthy may find places to live. 4)At the edge of the neighborhood,there are shops and offices of sufficiently varied types to supply the weekly needs of a household. 5)A small ancillary building is permitted within the backyard of each house. It may be used as a rental unit or place to work(e.g.,office or craft workshop). 6)An elementary school Is close enough so that most children can walk from their home. 7)There are small playgrounds accessible to every dwelling w not more than a tenth of a mile away. 8)Streets within the neighborhood form a connected network,which disperses traffic by providing a variety of pedestrian and vehicular routes to any destination. 9)The streets are relatively narrow and shaded by rows of trees. This slows traffic, creating an 9/7/2006 Message, Page 5 of 7 environment suitable for pedestrians and bicycles. 10) Buildings in the neighborhood center are placed close to the street,creating a well- defined outdoor room. 11)Parking lots and garage doors rarely front the street. Parking is relegated to the rear of buildings, usually accessed by alleys. 12)Certain prominent sites at the termination of street vistas or in the neighborhood center are reserved for civic buildings.These provide sites for community meetings, education, and religious or cultural activities. 13)Time neighborhood is organized to be sell- governing.A formal association debates and decides matters of maintenance,security, and physical change.Taxation is the responsibility of the larger community. New urbanist prototypes Seaside, Florida, the first new urbanist town, began development in 1989 on 80 acres of Panhandle coastline. Seaside appeared on the cover of the Atlantic Monthly in 1988 when only a few streets were completed, and it since became internationally famous for its architecture and the quality of its streets and public spaces. Seaside proved that developments that function like traditional towns could be built in the postmodern era. Lots began selling for$15,000 in the early Kentlands in 1980s and, slightly over a decade later, lots prices Gaithersburg, Maryland, had escalated to about$200,000. Today, some above, and Haile Village lots sell for close to a million dollars, and houses Center in Gainesville, sometimes top$3 million. The town is now a Florida, combine modern tourist mecca, homes and businesses with compact,walkable, Seaside's influence has less to do with its streets and public economic success than a certain magic and spaces. dynamism related to its physical form. Many developers have visited Seaside and gone away determined to build something similar. Since Seaside gained recognition, other new urban towns and neighborhoods have been designed and are substantially built— including Haile Village Center in Gainesville, Florida; Harbor Town in Memphis, Tennessee; Kentlands in Gaithersburg, Maryland; Addison Circle in Addison,Texas; Orenco Station in Hillsboro, Oregon; Mashpee Commons in Mashpee, Massachusetts; and Celebration in Orlando, Florida. 9/7/2006 Message , Page 6 of 7 Designers are also using the principles of the New Urbanism to build major new projects in cities and towns. In the mid-1990x, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)adopted the principles of the New Urbanism in its multibillion dollar program to rebuild public housing projects nationwide. New urbanists have planned and developed hundreds of projects in in#ill locations. Most were driven by the private sector, but many, including HUD projects, used public money. New urbanist projects built in historic cities and towns includes Crawford Square in Pittsburgh, City Place in West Palm Beach, Highlands Garden Village in Denver, Park DuValle in Louisville, and Beerline B in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, leaders in this design trend came together in 1993 to form the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU), based in Chicago. The founders are Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Peter Calthorpe, Daniel Solomon, Stefanos Polyzoides, and Elizabeth Moule, all practicing architects and town planners. CNU has since grown to more than 2,000 members and is now the leading international organization promoting new urbanist design principles. Disney builds a town In June of 1996, Disney unveiled its 5,000-acre town of Celebration, near Orlando, Florida, and it has since eclipsed Seaside as the best-known new urbanist community. In some respects, the New Urbanism and Disney have been uncomfortable bedfellows. While using designers and principles closely associated with the New Urbanism, Disney has shunned the label, preferring to call Celebration simply a"town." Meanwhile, the movement may have benefited from all of Celebration's publicity—but not without a price. Disney has come under attack for what some perceive as heavy-handed rules and management. For those who would attack the New Urbanism as insipid nostalgia, Disney is a fat target. The fact remains that Celebration's urban design is generally of high quality and by most accounts serves residents very well. Ray Chiaramonte, a former resident of Celebration who has since moved to a different new urban community, had this to say after his family moved to Disney's town: "The entire'focus of our lives has changed. Instead of doing everything some place other than close to home,we now can eat, do errands, celebrate special occasions and just hang out near our own home.The changes are most dramatic for our children,who now have 9/7/2006 Message ' Page 7 of 7 a freedom they never had in our old neighborhood." In the 1991 book Edge City, author Joel Garreau wrote that Americans have not built"a single old- style downtown from raw dirt in 75 years." Celebration was the first real estate project to break that trend, opening its downtown in October, 1996 (Seaside's downtown was still mostly unbuilt at the time). Since then, scores of new urban projects have followed suit with their own downtowns and mixed-use districts. But the new urbanists still have plenty of work to do.They must continue to design and build retail centers to compete with CSD nationwide. They must capture a broad portion of the residential market. New urbanist developers must get better at malting their neighborhoods affordable. New urbanists also must prove, over time,that their ideas are superior for both revitalizing old cities and towns and building new communities. If they can accomplish these goals—and many projects now offer hope that they can--the New Urbanism is poised to become the dominant real estate and planning trend of the 21st century. Robert Steuteville is editor and publisher of New Urban News. This article was updated July 8, 2004. 9/7/2006 August 28, 2006 The following is the text of an e-mail that was sent by Mike Soab to John Clark in response to his questions of the handling of lfennedale TownCenter "quality of life" traffic/noise/industrial issues and appropriate and compatible uses. These issues are so important that it is included here. John a you have raised some important development issues not only for our TownCenter concept, but for our entire community. I know the following is probably overkill for answering your first question. In a nut shell, commercial users are not as sensitive to noises. Residential is (and sometimes offices) and noise 1 quality of life issues must be planned for in the development stages. Noise pollutants can create quality of life issues for existing citizens and can stymie new growth. Sounds from trains, airplanes, commercial and personal traffic, and even local industries (and, not to mention racetracks) all impact our everyday lives. TownCenter dwellings and other noise sensitive residential living are alike in their need for quiet enjoyment. Open area buffers, sound barriers such as berms, trees, and landscaping, building layouts, and internal sound proofing are just some of the techniques that be utilized to control (not eliminate) noise. The developers of any residential communities including those associated with TownCenter Kennedale must be sensitive to these potential noise issues and design for them in their construction plans. I see the city's role as gatekeeper in ensuring that developers address any impact concerns (just as they project drainage run-offs) so they become non-issues. Example: I live in north Hurst on a RR line. The city of Hurst or the subdivision's developer, Pulte Homes, planned for the RR nuisance by oversizing my and my neighbors' rear yards. I abut the tracks, but my home was built far enough away that their impact is lessened. Additionally, I planted large bushes along my rear property line to again reduce noise pass through. Interestingly, new residential developments that also abut these same tracks do not have the same oversized rear yards as I do. Newer developers were able to build homes right up to the tracks and then the city has to deal with citizen noise complaints. Secondly, your question about promoting developments and their components is one that I've faced many times. Singular developments speak for themselves. A use is a use and it's pretty obvious what it is intended for. However, in mixed-use, lifestyle, and town center projects, many different uses are combined into a singular delivery product. Where dense residential communities may not be a use that by itself makes sense ® it certainly is one of the most important elements of New Urbanism Creating Great Places that combine working, living, eating, playing, and shopping together. Will it be successful without one or more of these components? Without all the pieces ® it is a lesser project without an element of people needed to create a critical mass. Retail needs people to shop and eat in their businesses. Kennedale only has 6,000 + people and that's not enough to create traditional retail and restaurant interest. We must create our own destinations, so that people from all over will visit and use our sales tax generating businesses. Therefore, in order to attract new commercial development, we must increase the people pool who will utilize Kennedale businesses. Assuring our citizens that certain uses will be allowed only in specific types of development areas and won't necessarily be in everybody's back yard tomorrow along with emphasizing new services, stores, restaurants, and enjoyment opportunities in addition to city revenue benefits should go along way to raising our citizen's comfort level. In the content of increasing city sales and commercial property tax revenues and reduced dependence on residential property taxes, it makes sense to provide all the elements that make this type of development work. Additionally, our citizens can enjoy taking a walk in the park, shopping for a birthday gift, eating an ice cream cone, or walking home to their adjacent lifestyle home overlooking a duck pond. John e I don't know if or how successful TownCenter Kennedale will be. I do know we need to give it all the elements necessary to assist its development and contribute to its long range viability. On another note, the Kennedale Buxton demographic report says that within a 7 minute drive time, there are 120,000 people. However, a great majority of these people live above 1-20 and east of Bus 287. In order to attract these people to Kennedale Parkway — Kennedale needs a reason(s) strong enough to pull them away from other alternate venues in Arlington, Mansfield, etc. That's the thought process behind the 1-20/Loop 820/13us 287 freeway sites. That's where the big bucks are. With TownCenter Kennedale, I'm just trying to give Kennedale citizens and visitors an opportunity to spend their disposable income in Kennedale and create pride of citizenship with an attractive and well-rounded city centerpiece. I go on too long, but these are passionate development issues. 3 �Ia� I 4 b� Ir J a, d t ,r w '►I �s s lip F IRS Kit AkL AV P �Y 4 t k't - I �1 P. w .1 MASTERPLAN A♦ M I - cu�w-a lu I I _ m s- f ' �1 `� .• •.� . --=m ._-%m 1R `6y vv 7 L7 MCI 3".9 '3LW ' rTOSams. rn rein r. - �� V r r AYAV Yll of YIp31 FP!
