PARK PLANNING PROCESS FOR FUTURE PARK PHASES
The developer of Metropolitan Park Phase 6 agrees to
participate in a public planning process, including utilizing
its resources and expertise to develop, as the process
deems, alternative park designs and uses, for that portion
of the central park associated with Metropolitan Park
Phase 6. The goal of the process is for the developer to
work with PRCR staff, the Park and Recreation
Commission, SPRC members, and interested Metropolitan
Park residents to identify and assess the community’s
recreational needs and interests at that time and make
revisions to the park’s design, or reaffirm the existing
design through the data and feedback from the above
interested parties…

…The process shall allow for changes to be made to the
original design and uses prescribed for the park space in
the Metropolitan Park Design Guidelines (dated January
23, 2004 and approved by the County Board on February
10, 2004), including, if deemed appropriate by the public
process, the inclusion of more active recreational uses
and amenities in that portion of the park associated with
Phase 6. The public planning process may be initiated
upon filing of the Metropolitan Park Phase 6 final site plan
and shall be completed prior to approval by the County
Board of the Phase 6 final site plan. If, as a result of the
public planning process, revisions are recommended to
the park’s design, the revisions shall be incorporated into
a revised conceptual design for that portion of the central
park associated with Metropolitan Park Phase 6, which
shall be approved as part of the final site plan for Phase 6.

use/landscape zones

furniture, as provided in DES standards and specifications

Landscape
• Maximize tree canopy and encourage species diversity
• Maximize soil volume
• Use landscaping to frame views, enforce circulation, and define spaces
for public use
• Encourage three dimensional landscape areas
May 26, 201618
EADS STREET DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Draft Recommendation Elements:
Building Orientation
• Consistent building line on South Eads Street
• Building height and massing should take building orientation of previous
phases into consideration
• Building heights should vary along Eads Street and compliment previous
phases through building taper from taller building mass across
secondary streets
• Orientation should include massing strategies that reinforce the division
of the building into base, shaft, and crown sections
