The Urban Scheme
Option 3
The Urban Scheme hosts a townhome/rowhouse development pattern providing a larger scale in the blocks facing Mercury Boulevard which relate to the commercial scale of properties to the south of the boulevard. This configuration pulls the building front from the street providing a deeper front yard. As Minor St. connects with 1st Avenue, a linear neighborhood greenspace/park is developed for passive activities. Like the other schemes, homes north of Minor St. are developed as single family/duplexes, but in this scheme all homes have access to rear parking courts. The medical clinic is envisioned on the first floor of the multifamily building at the corner of Mercury Boulevard and 1st Avenue.
Parkside is developed with a focus on the continuation of the park into the development, pushing the parking to the West. The scheme creates a face along E. Castle Street and focuses on providing the rowhouses a front and back greenspace.
