B-3 Zoning District - Image Preference Survey

The following images were presented at the March 14, 2007 public meeting. Participants were asked to rank the image on a scale of -3 to +3 based on the appropriateness for the study area, where -3 is the most inappropriate and +3 is the most appropriate. The number under each image is the average score of the 17 surveys turned in at the end of the meeting.

Overall participants seem to want a pedestrian-scale, walkable, mixed-use corridor.  Emphasis was placed on sidewalks, trees, pleasing architectural style, and buildings near the street with parking at the back or sides.  Generally participants were against “corporate” or “formula” businesses being located in the corridor.  They want buildings that will blend in, have a mixture of heights/styles, and will allow for residential uses – though not solely residential.  Images that participants found the most appropriate for the corridor were Slides 9, 10 & 12.  Slides 4, 7 & 14 were deemed least appropriate for the area.
