Objective

• Develop a 3-D computerized model of the study area using Google Sketch-Up– analyze existing building massing and height transitions

• Use the model as an analysis tool– Understand and visualize potential impacts of future

development patterns

Model Development

• Use existing City of Columbus (GIS and AutoCAD data) of building footprints combined with data obtained from the Franklin County Auditor to create simple massing of existing buildings

• Add façade details and ornamentation to the masses • Put the completed model into Google Earth to understand

the the study area given the context of the surroundings

Current Conditions | Overview

Current Conditions | Overview

• Some long, complete historic blocks• Also a few smaller historic clusters• Isolated extremes, big & small• Suburban-style, strip-style retail• Bulky newer development

Long, complete historic blocks

Smaller historic clusters

Isolated extremes – big & small

Suburban-style, strip-style retail

Bulkier newer development

Next Steps

• Compare building heights to identify inconsistencies and buildings which are incompatible with the Short North design aesthetic

• Visualize development potential for selected sites

The Process

• 5 sites selected based on:– Low FAR– Surface Parking Lots– Large Setbacks

• Design considerations:– Parking Requirements– No Setbacks– Limit High Street Ingress
