Form-based codes (FBC) are land development regulations that seek to produce predictable built results that prioritize building form v► over building use as a distinguishing factor. Often times, a Q►= regulatory zone or framework is applied at the block level, much like zoning, where parcels fall into a specific FBC (L classification. The Downtown Yorkville Form-Based Code uses the street types as a regulatory framework. The parcels that front a specific street type identified in this plan use that street type as the underlying FBC classification. If a parcel fronts more than one street,the FBC articulates the process of discerning Zoning Design Guidelines(FBCI) which FBC zone takes precedent. The FBC includes further instruction on how to identify a parcel, determine the underlying regulatory zone, and easily interpret the zone's requirements for redevelopment. �p The streetscape master plan brings a visual interpretation of what form and character future capital improvements will411:arr ka• exhibit.Though the streetscape master plan and the FBC are intended to be stand-alone documents,they are coordinated efforts that provide layers of detail to collectively envision the future of downtown Yorkville. The series of diagrams on the right is from the Form-Based Codes Institute (FBCI) and meant to visualize the physical Form-Based Codes(FBCI) consequences that stem from conventional zoning (top), conventional zoning with supporting design guidelines (middle), and form-based codes (right).

Bridge Street was historically a two travel-lane street 1 s ii,i 2 To -oisii- = -�. - with parallel parking on either side to serve the businesses. ` Traffic became congested, since Bridge Street (IL 47) is the - main truck route through Yorkville. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) studied widening the street along with other improvements to alleviate the congestion. Many - years after the initial plan of a five-lane Bridge Street, the Figure 6-Bridge Street Facades(Farr Associates) proposal was finally taken to construction.Yorkville residents were anxious to speed up flow through a downtown long removed from representing the heart of the community. Since the IDOT improvements,the commercial viability of the businesses were challenged. Travel lanes replaced parallel parking and concrete barriers were placed between street '* Novi oPEN and sidewalk.The combination of road widening, increased ; �', speed,lack of parallel parking,and other factors drove many ' of the primary building entries around to the backs of the Bridge Street buildings. The increased speeds and lack of I .i\ . - — — pedestrian traffic along Bridge Street have effectively drained — — downtown of any potential for vitality. Residents have ■semi mixed opinions about the impacts of IDOT's improvements; Figure 7-Bridge Street Blank Wall (Farr Associates) however, it is clear that the term "improvements" may not be the correct expression for Bridge Street's new character. This stretch of Bridge Street may be considered the gateway into downtown Yorkville and retains potential to become the 1 -' , iconic stretch that helps draw people into local businesses ,,,;- i / F, - and displays an attractive image that represents the people ‘ '� , , rr- 1 1r IIof Yorkville. ° — - ,.

A primary consideration should include where stormwater is flowing. With elevated parcels on the south edge of Van Emmon Street, surface water will flow towards the street and sidewalk. Utilizing rain gardens that temporarily store Figure 37-Stormwater Streetscape(novitalas.com) rainwater before discharge or percolation and/or using permeable pavers that allow water to dissipate through the parking surface, are ways to accommodate the increased runoff. Also helping with stormwater, street trees should • be planted on either side of the approach from the east to moo create a block long gateway when driving into Yorkville from r' Oswego. ,. Downtown branding elements,such as seasonal banners and wayfinding signage, can add to the cohesion of downtown. • The historic Kendall County Courthouse slope can act as a - gateway feature incorporating signage, or some other built element, to establish a four-sided Van Emmon and Bridge Street intersect.These improvements could be completed in Figure 38-Intersection Improvements(PicSnaper) the near-term with the expectation that they would remain as other capital improvements take place.

Figure 61-Street Lighting"Do"(American City and County) Nancy Clanton of Clanton & Associates has provided lighting best-practices for municipalities by creating some "dos and don'ts" for street and facade lighting. In general, well-designed lighting strategies should not only light the i + area, but take into account all view angles while creating a ems 41" �/ - o beautiful ambiance without glare and annoyance.The list on GROCE ti PARK _ i� page 45 expands on Nancy Clanton's strategies.

Many municipalities are limiting �. the CCT of their street and pedestrian lighting to 3000K or less which is similar to the color of the setting sun.

With relatively high traffic counts along Bridge Street,downtown experiences crosstown traffic that makes it visible and accessible by pedestrians and vehicles, and it could take advantage of higher traffic through non-residential uses. A TIF 1 and 2 are current and future strategies that seek to encourage reinvestment in the downtown. Though the TIF boundaries are not consistent with the downtown boundary defined in the map, it does include much of the downtown land and parcels along the Fox River. Parcels along the Fox River may be the most attractive to investors because of the views towards the river and access to recreation. 52 Yorkville Downtown Overlay District m L.,, +. .. _ . . r-•..•_., . . ,, 5 •A O I f"'»wry . f M Y LLI■fl,rL 1 t .1 •. 0 / r y 0.
