1 Guiding Design Principles Overview from SC#3 2
Existing Conditions of MCSP Area Little to no street network internal to the central portion of the site Fronts of shopping center buildings have no relationship to adjacent streets Shopping center buildings are set back to accommodate large surface parking lots along streets Moraga Center Specific Plan Implementation Vision Design Package 2015 Opticos Design, Inc. 3
Principle 1: Create Connected Street Network Establish grid of new streets with good connectivity, to support ped/bike mobility Include multi-use bridge connection across creek Pull new streets through existing shopping center site, to help multi-use mobility and improve existing retail s viability through better street frontage Moraga Center Specific Plan Implementation Vision Design Package 2015 Opticos Design, Inc. 4
Principle II: Support New Public Spaces Through Active Block Frontages Integrate variety of new public spaces within new street network Ensure success of new public spaces, by requiring building fronts to face streets and public spaces Where possible, locate new streets along fronts of the existing retail (e.g. Safeway) to create more walkable block network Moraga Center Specific Plan Implementation Vision Design Package 2015 Opticos Design, Inc. 5
Principle III: Create Fine-Grain Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes Through Site Street network can be further broken down with ped/bike access through larger blocks, and regional trail connections Important locations to emphasize connections: between creek and School Street, through shopping center blocks Moraga Center Specific Plan Implementation Vision Design Package 2015 Opticos Design, Inc. 6
