Building Prototypes and Development Scenarios

Developed a set of building

prototypes that follow current
zoning regulations.
These buildings are used to test
land use scenarios and traffic
impacts. They are not specific
development proposals, or design
renderings.
Buildings are placed to test
assumptions and impacts within
zones, not specific development
parcels.
3D renderings are meant to outline
density massing, not specific
building designs

Data & Assumptions

All existing land use and valuation data from DCAD.

New valuation based on local market costs and revenues.
Commercial building sqft from DCAD.
Multifamily unit counts from DCAD; single family units
assumed to be 1 per parcel.
Existing parking figures based on assumption of 2.0/unit,
3.0/1000 sqft office, 5.0/1000 sqft retail (zoning
regulations), parking for parking garage from parking study.
Existing entitlement buildings built according to existing
zoning maximums.
