Workshop Resources

Remote Workshop

Couldn't make it to the workshop?  You can still participate!  Review the instructions below, download the appropriate PDF files, complete a packet and return it to CAP:IC.  Input from the design community is essential in these guidelines, which will be adopted for the entire Regional Center zoning area!

Introduction

The workshop team has selected ten sites/blocks in Critical Issue Area 2, BioCrossroads.  These were selected because they represent prototypical issues, such as street type and context.  The idea is you produce a hypothetical development on the site that  takes into account the real-life issues that impact that site.  By doing these, we will be able to extrapolate critical guidelines relevant to those issues.
 

Step 1: Download Booklet

Download the Critical Issue Area Analysis/Issue Booklet, in PDF Format. 
 

Step 2: Download Site

Download a Site Packet, in PDF Format, by selecting a site from the map below.
Print this packet on 11x17 paper.  The packet is scaled, so it is important to turn off any scaling, "fit to page" or "shrink large pages" options.
 

Step 3: Register with CAP:IC

Using this quick online form, register your remote participation with CAP:IC.  This way we know what work is still out there to anticipate.
 

Step 4: Review Booklet

Review the Critical Issue Area Analysis/Issue Booklet and become familiar with the real-life issues and opportunities affecting your specific site.
 

Step 5: Develop Site Scenario

Complete the Site Packet for Each Scenario
  • 1 Site Plan

    Use checkmarks to select variables the "menu of variables" at the top right of the aerial photo page that your concept will address.  You should select the issues relevant to your site based on the Analysis/Issue booklet, but also "hypothetical" options.  Be sure to choose at least one option from each category (FAR, Mixed-Use, etc)

    Develop a plan-view scenario using trace-paper overlay.  Note the 1"-100' scale and 20' grid.

    Be sure to label (the what) and explain (the why) the issues and elements contained in your drawing.  For example, if you have a mid-block mini-park, tell us why there should be such a park.  Keep in mind the ultimate goal is a set of guidelines, and we need to be able to extrapolate your site information to broader guidelines.
     
  • 4 Section Views

    For each public right of way around your site (street, railroad, park, stream) develop a section view using the section-view pages.  Note the 1"=10' scale and 2' grid.  Again be sure to label and explain your drawing.
     
  • 1 Isometric View

    Using the isometric page, develop a 3-D isometric view of your scenario, again being sure to label and explain the drawing.
