PRIORITIES <br /> Priority will be given to projects that: • <br /> • Contain innovative and creative design,policy or regulatory elements that set them <br /> apart from typical development practices; <br /> • Are replicable in the region, entirely or in part. Replicable elements can be models or <br /> processes; <br /> • Use innovative partnerships among government,private for-profit, and nonprofit <br /> sectors,including private leverage; <br /> • Implement the Regional Blueprint's Regional Growth Strategy. <br /> EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS TO FIT THE PROGRAM'S PRIORITIES <br /> Examples of innovative and creative project components: <br /> • A mix(rather than in separated areas)of single-family and,townhouses and other <br /> attached and multifamily housing, affordable to a wide range of families and <br /> individuals. <br /> • A combination of uses that provide a mix of jobs, services and housing with transit <br /> access. <br /> • Application of design concepts(e.g. orientation of buildings to the street and to each <br /> other,attention to building form,placement of garages, etc.)that results in <br /> developments that use land more efficiently. <br /> • A variety of small shops and restaurants on lower levels of buildings with offices or <br /> apartments above. <br /> • Ways to successfully emphasize pedestrian circulation while also accommodating the <br /> auto(e.g. shared parking arrangements, structured parking,pedestrian walkways, etc.) <br /> • Redevelopment or infill projects that are linked to their surroundings through similar <br /> or compatible scale, architectural features, or other means. <br /> • Developments that successfully incorporate or re-introduce public spaces (parks, <br /> public squares,plazas) and pedestrian access and circulation. <br /> • Incorporation of neighborhood-scale retail uses along established transit routes, <br /> enabling transit riders to conduct daily business at the beginning or end of their trip. <br /> • Intensification of land uses in nodes along transit corridors, combining employment <br /> locations, workplaces,retail and entertainment options. IP <br /> The above examples are also examples of components that could be replicated in the region. <br /> 2 <br />
