day "charrette" process where images of the area were created through computer generated programs and refined based on feedback received during the charrette. Comments were received also through subsequent public processes and from Stakeholder Group and Technical Advisory Committee recommendations. The process for creation of the vision is discussed in more detail in Chapter 2. These processes were central to identifying and refining the common goals and objectives for the area. Key issues derived from the goals and objectives were identified and, to the extent they were relevant to land use and building form, incorporated into the form based code for the S -WS Walnut Station Special Area Zone (S -WS). These goals and objectives are therefore applicable to all development applications submitted for permit review, rather than remaining as policies in a plan applicable only to land use applications that are required in limited instances before submittal of a building permit for review.

These building height stepbacks were crafted largely to address the issue of transitioning from the commercially Zoned area on the north side of 15x' Avenue to the Fairmount neighborhood on the south side of this street, and to respond to the potential natural resource area of the Millrace and the Willamette River to the north. Further, site and building design standards have been crafted for specific Frontage Districts in the S -WS Walnut Station Special Area Zone. The Frontage Districts are the designations for the differ- ent areas in the plan. There are three frontage districts; Franklin Corridor, Urban General, and 15th AvenueTrans III on Edge. The development standards for the Franklin corridor Frontage District are specifically designed to create a vibrant pedestrian edge while also recognizing that this is seen as the most urban, highest intensity area within the Special Area Zone. The building design stan- dards encourage active commercial uses such as retail space. The landscape standards are crafted for more urban areas that allow for narrower landscape beds and urban walls for screening pur- I Sfh Avenue alley Franklin MulfiWay Blvd. Walnut Station Section - Facing West
