July 3 Streetscape/ Open Space
July 17 BPSG Strategic Plan
Aug. 7 Affordable Housing
Sept. 4 Putting it together – Preliminary Urban Design, Streetscape and Housing Strategies
Late Sept. Community Meeting 2 - Urban Design, Open Space & Housing
Followed by employment, transportation, refining strategies
• Refine urban form character maps that will help adjust development regulations to better address the community's priorities and issues.
• Begin identifying street types; relate them to the urban form in order to help create streetscape concept plans that guide future street improvements.
Today’s Objectives
• Create a hierarchy of great streets and public spaces (with special attention to Market Street as well as Ballard Avenue).
• Protect and enhance Ballard's thriving industries while ensuring appropriate balance between maritime/ industrial, office, retail, restaurants, nightlife, and livability of residents.
• Preserve the historic character of neighborhood areas.
• Encourage design quality and variety in the built environment.
• Address neighborhood areas that are likely to change.
• Balance the mobility needs of pedestrians, bicycles, cars, freight, and transit.
• Prepare for potential high capacity transit investment.
• Consider views and connections to iconic streetscape, nature, and the water.
• Participants in the Ballard Partnership for Smart Growth process are concerned about recent development in Ballard (especially along Market Street between 17th and 26th) and expect the Urban Design Framework process to address this issue.

Draft 6/19/2014
Typical land uses Typical zoning Lot sizes / Block sizes Building Types Building Height Street Level Uses Parking Location Landscaping Existing Role Opportunities ChallengesModerate density multifamily residential
LR3, MR‐RC, with some NC 1 at intersections
Medium sized parcels Apartments, row houses, town houses
Three‐four floors Primarily residential Side, rear or beneath structure for new buildings, or between building and sidewalk.
Varied. Landscaping often used to create screening between building and parking or sidewalk
Multifamily medium density residential May provide appropriate context for future residential growth and change with less impact on the historic core. Can accommodate a variety of buildings and housing types in walkable distance to the commercial and historic core.
Preserving existing older affordable market rate housing and family housing
High density multifamily residential with commercial or residential uses on street level
Typically NC3‐65 with pedestrian designation along some streets
Large parcels Apartment building over ground floor retail or residential.
Six‐ seven floors Mix of ground level residential and commercial (salons, dry cleaners etc.)
Typically beneath the structure Open space typically inaccessible to public, sidewalk improvements and street trees
High density urban residential core New high density residential growth in the core supports local business district.
Large lots sizes, large E‐W blocks and 60' facades result in some boxy, bulky buildings that do not relate to human scale. Bland materials and detailing. Recessed shop fronts create shadowed and unattractive street level facades, shop entrances are not prominent.
Banks, drive‐through, surface parking, restaurants, neighborhood commercial
NC3‐65 Small‐medium parcels Single story commercial One‐two floors Mix of restaurants, banks, hobby stores, parking
Typically between the building and sidewalk
Very little landscaping in the form of small hedges or trees
This area is between the neighborhood's civic and commercial cores. A number of small businesses provide everyday services (hobby stores, banks) on this corridor. 56th also has extensive surface parking for the commercial uses on Market Street, creating to an 'open' feel that the community appreciates. At the same time, multiple curb cuts, very narrow sidewalks and the discontinuity of edge treatment and landscaping between parking and sidewalks create an unwelcoming pedestrian experience.
Should there be an opportunity for a diversity of residential and commercial uses? Many lots in prime area used for surface parking. The library and greenfire buildings set up an attractive relationship between building and sidewalk through landscaping, ground and upper level set backs, plazas, transparency and active street level uses. Can this language inform future development?
Existing parking lots serve an important function. Maintaining the 'open' character along 56th and service access to commercial uses on Market Street is important.
Library, restaurants, park, church NC3‐65 Small‐medium parcels Modern mixed use and institutional buildings along church and new park
Two‐six floors Mix of restaurants and civic or public spaces generating a large volume of foot traffic, prominent entrances, buildings set back to create plaza spaces with attractive canopies and a high level of transparency
Beneath the structure Generous sidewalks with street trees in appropriately sized planting beds, street furniture includes bike racks, benches and art
This area defines the civic and communal heart in the Urban Village. The area is active through the daytime (including weekdays). A lower volume of vehicular traffic on 56th and 22nd and generous public spaces and setbacks create a safe and attractive environment for pedestrians and cars.The drugstore is a major destination. Existing uses cater to children, the elderly as well as families, many of whom walk to these destinations.
Thriving community civic core with large volume of pedestrians. Low traffic volumes and attractive and functional modern architecture.
Ensuring that new buildings allow solar access to existing public spaces and buildings and continue to strengthen the positive modern design language in this core. New ground floor residential along western edge of Ballard Commons has a poor connection with the park.
Restaurants, bars, boutiques, furnishing and home ware stores, farmer's market on Ballard Ave, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, bookshops, yoga studios, pet stores, record and art stores, music venues, hair salons etc. with office or commercial above
NC3‐65 with a pedestrian overlay
Small parcels Historic buildings, built to the property line, with attractive facades, a high degree of detailing on facades and transparency in shop front windows that meet the sidewalk, well defined entrances
One‐four floors Commercial generating a high volume of foot traffic, some outdoor restaurant seating
On street or to the rear of the building
Varying sidewalks widths with street trees.
Highly walkable and attractive character core of Ballard. Gathering place in the community (recreation and music). The area is a hub for nightlife, music and restaurant activity. A number of coffee shops and services such as gyms, hair salons and banks generate a significant amount of foot traffic in the day time. The year round Ballard farmer's market draws customers from all over the city.
24th Avenue creates potential for a connection between commercial core and Shilsole Bay. Angled street intersections can be improved to be made safer and attractive.
Some of the public spaces (Marvin's Garden, Bergen Place) are great spaces although underutilzed. More landscaping and wider sidewalks needed in some parks. Large number of bars. Intersections on Leary create disconnect between areas.
Furniture store, realtor, music venue, insurance sales, corner store, tai chi and Qigong school, medical practice, optician, FedEx, restaurant, café
NC3‐65 with a pedestrian overlay
Small parcels Small buildings similar in scale to the historic core, built to the property line, but more recently built with less detailed facades and shop fronts.
One‐two floors Commercial generating a moderate amount of foot traffic.
Side, rear or beneath structure for new buildings. Some legacy street facing lots
Generous sidewalks with street trees
This area continues the walkable, pedestrian scaled character of the historic core. However, medical institutional uses and the unusual street grid along the south side creates a break from the sense of continuity and enclosure in the character core. Street level uses in this area typically generate more intermittent foot traffic.
Potential to continue the character of the commercial core while encouraging some office and commercial uses. Opportunities to adapt existing lots and buildings for offices and other commercial uses.
To create development that is respectful of historic core character, avoid walled in feeling of large monolith buildings, create a high quality pedestrian environment.
Large grocery stores, auto cleaning and repair, medical clinics, religious, mortgage and insurance, fast food restaurants, vet, mattress and furniture stores, school, hardware and paint supplies
C1‐65 Large parcels Utilitarian commercial buildings with large footprints. Typically set back from the property line and separated from the sidewalk by extensive surface parking.
One‐two floors Commercial. These uses generate a large volume of automobile traffic and in some cases require large areas for loading and unloading operations and access to freight traffic.
Typically between the building and the sidewalk.
Minimum planting strips and screening.
This area provides a mix of necessary services and weekly goods to the local as well as the regional community. Most of these uses generate a large volume of automobile traffic and require large areas for loading/unloading.
Provides weekly needed goods and services. Important destination. Will continue to remain an important auto corridor. Access to the region and freight route. Area surrounding 15th and Market is a gateway into Ballard. Transit access.
Balancing needs of high auto traffic volumes with pedestrian, transit and truck needs is challenging. Creates an edge and divides the neighborhood.
Medical ‐ Ballard Swedish and allied uses
MIO 65, 85, 105 Large parcels Institutional buildings, screened and set back from sidewalks, with a mix of surface and structured parking
Four‐six floors Waiting areas, lounges and offices not directly accessible from street

This diagram assesses the challenges posed by existing development as well as opportunities that future development could build on or achieve.
• Residents appreciate Ballard’s walkability.
• Safer street crossings and sidewalks, slower traffic speeds, safer bike infrastructure, vertical speed control, improvements to street lighting, improved landscaping, better visibility for cars and peds, wider sidewalks, and improved transit will address some of the challenges faced by children, elderly, families and other residents in Ballard.
• Transit has not kept up with growth. There is not enough open space.
• Finding on street parking is difficult - need to require more off-street parking.
• Residential ‘play streets’, improved crossings across 15th, 24th, Market and Leary, crosswalk warning lights, lower speeds on 24th & 20th, fewer lanes on Market, pedestrian only zones in some places, bike tracks are some of the ideas from the community.
• Improve connectvity to Burke Gilman. Balancing the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, cars and freight is a high priority for the community.

Street, transit and bike classifications
Street types versus arterial classifications:
• Arterial classifications define a citywide network. Street types are an overlay on arterial classifications.
• They are a site specific design tool; may only extend a few blocks.
• They define the design elements that support the street’s function and adjacent land use.
Examples of Street types:
Neighborhood Main Street Neighborhood Street/Local Connector Green Street
Regional Connector Mixed Use/Commercial Connector Alleys (residential/commercial)

Group Exercise
Three groups. Each group has a map and markers.
Answer the following questions for streets in your sub-areas.
1. What are the types of streets in your sub-areas? What is their role in the community? How do people use these streets?
2. What are the strengths, opportunities and challenges for these streets?
3. Describe the future vision for the streetscape for your streets. What might be some appropriate adjacent street level land uses? How can these streets be improved to better match how the community uses or would like to use them?

The Burke-Gilman Trail Missing LinkThe network map shows the alignment for the Burke-Gilman Trail that has been previously adopted by the Seattle City Council. At the time this Bicycle Master Plan was adopted, an Environmental Impact State-ment was being prepared to consider this alignment and other alternative alignments. The final alignment for the completion of this portion of the Burke-Gil-man Trail will be determined following the comple-tion of the EIS process and any changes in alignment will be reflected in a subsequent update of the BMP.
