The Wagenbrenner plan calls for 500 units with little space remaining on the 20+ acre site for green space. The objectives in this design call for a higher density of housing types and an increase in green space. These new frameworks will help to reach out into the Weinland Park neighbor-hood and to draw interest and interaction from sur-rounding neighborhoods.

Former Columbus Coated Fabrics Site.

The collaboration between the City of Columbus, Campus Partners, Wagenbrenner Development Company and the Weinland Park neighborhood of the University District has proposed a redevelopment of the former Columbus Coated Fabrics site. The 20+ acre site, as proposed by Wagenbrenner Development Company, will contain nearly 500 units of market-rate housing.

Problems- This former industrial site lies on the eastern most portion of the Weinland Park neighborhood and directly abuts an active and heavily used railroad corridor. The site has multiple edges and is a standalone entity with little affi liation to the rest of the neighborhood. The site physically and psychologically has a disconnect among the people of the neighborhood and the overall landscape. Current conditions and location of site make it diffi cult to create economic impacts and drive enterprise to this economically disadvantaged neighborhood.

The objectives in this de-sign call for a higher density of housing types and an increase in green space... designed to be varying sizes of productive and leisure landscapes and create the opportunity for nodes, land-marks, districts, edges and pathways in landscape and structure and to maximize production while increasing housing density and land-scape diversifi cation.

Housing

Th e project set out to create a micro economy through food production in the Former Co-lumbus Coated Fabrics Site. In order to maxi-mize potential production.Many varieties of species were selected for the site to maximize what could be harvested and sold during the growing season.

Multi-family units are the preferred unit types in this plan. Th is is in contrary to the proposed single family detached housing type that dominates in the current proposal. Mul-tiply dwelling types will be included in this plan to increase variety of residents able to live in the new neighborhood.

American Addition is a small historically African American neighborhood originally laid out over 100 years ago, located in the near east side of Columbus Ohio. The long neglected neighborhood was only annexed by Columbus in 1959, and city services and infrastructure were not fully developed until decades later which left the neighborhood to fall from 200 original homes down to the 52 homes that remain today.

Problems- The American Addition neighborhood sits like an island on the near east side of Columbus. Surrounded by old indus-try and active rail lines it is isolated from the rest of the near east side. Rampant abandonment and urban prairies characterize the area. With very poor residents and little connection to job oppor-tunities the neighborhood has went from dense housing stock to patches of homes surrounded by urban prairie.

Design Objectives- The site is based on a pattern of homes found within the existing housing condi tions. The pattern present in these homes creates and allows for a varying degree of density, openness and spatial quality. Keeping this in mind the project sets out to mimic these conditions by repopulating the remaining areas in the site with attention to varying condi tions and factors such as: present plantings, existing housing, aesthetics, and street access.

The present neighborhood makeup presents the opportunity for aggressive in fi ll of housing and greenspace as well as the chance to enliven the area with art focused development.

Once business hours have concluded downtown is a surface lot desert. reform to restricting anymore surface lots from being created is essential and even more im-portant would be for the city to adopt new strategies in appropriating and combin-ing surface lots into structured parking facilities. An increase in funding for COTA with more effi cient stops and routes needs to be looked at as well given that only 5% of commuters coming downtown each day use the COTA bus systemto do so.

Land is one of the most valuable resourc-es of any city. And green spaces and com-mon areas in which people can interact are essential to creating cities that are beau-tiful, livable, safe and desirable to busi-nesses, tourists and residents. The city of Columbus, Oh needs to adopt some type of surface parking lot reform. the amount of surface parking in the downtown core is deplorable and needs to change

[General Hypothesis and Problem Statement]1. Infrastructures effect on a region

2. Public amenities and their influences

3. E cological and environmental challenges in urban zones

4. Spatial location of unique amenities new development/amenities

in some U.S. cities, parking lots cover more than a third of the land area, be-

coming the single most salient landscape feature of our built environment.-Eran Ben-Joseph, a professor of urban planning at M.I.T-

Downtown Columbus is a mass of parking accented by large drawing entities including business,

institutions and leisure that draw over 82,000 people to the downtown neighborhood everyday. This

is a giant increase in the neighborhoods actual population of only 6,046 during non-business hours.

As downtown Columbus is the largest employer area in the city it is hard to challenge the fact that

columbus needs parking in large quantities but at what point does the city begin to shoot itself in

the foot by not creating a city whoms landscape damages further growth of the downtown area for

residential projects. The mass of surface parking in the downtown core is seen as necessary for

development and for drawing suburban families to come and park easily without care but is what we

want for the city to be a neighborhood or an underused destination?

it is high time to abandon outmoded zoning codes from the auto-boom days requiring specific ratios

of parking spaces per housing unit, or per square foot of retail space. These rules about minimum

parking spaces have driven up the costs of apartments for developers and residents, damaged the

environment, diverted money that could have gone to mass transit and created a

government-mandated cityscape thats largely unused outside of working hours and events.

This analysis will look at just how much parking is available downtown and will help to visualize the

abundance of said parking.

As the visualization indicates, downtown columbus is very rich in parking ammenities. the majority of

these parking areas are surface lots that at some point in the 1960s and 1970s were created through

the demolition of dilapidated structures and land prospecting during the urban renewal period in

columbus. the majority of car parks are located nearer to government facilities and newer attractions

such as the arena district. surface lots tend to be scattered in smaller lots east of 4th street, north

and south of broad street. Parks in the downtown area are very limited and the largest of those,

columbus commons, was just recently completed. It is one of the most centrally located parks in

downtown and is seeing residential development forming near to its location.

AS the visualization indicates park proximity is rather abysmal in downtown columbus. Much of the

parks are also of similar use. meaning they have almost all of the same use. they are passive parks

or walking/biking trails/paths. the introduction of a larger variety of parks in the downtown area

could help to spur growth in residential and a more neighborhood feel for downtown rather then how

the park space is used currently which is mainly as lunch break spots.

Parking Densities follow a very specific trend of proximity to large use entities such as Columbus

State, the arena district and government facilities. The problem with this type of pattern though is

that much of these larger garages and surface lots remain empty after school/business hours and

outside of large events in the arena district.

[General Analysis of Downtown Columbus Parking]

There are said to be at least 105 million and maybe as many as 2 billion

parking spaces in the United States. A third of them are in parking lots,

those asphalt deserts that we claim to hate but that proliferate for our

convenience.-Michael Kimmelman-

The general area that i defined as Downtown Columbus is bounded by 670 to the north, 70 to the

east and south, and the csx rail lines to the west of the COSI properties on the west bank of the

scioto river.

[Parks] - 82 acres

[Parking] - 226 acres

[Clip Downtown] 960 acres*

Business hours population- 82 000

Actual downtown Population- 6 046

[Getting Around]Without any commuter rail, light rail, or metro system, Columbus commuters rely almost exclusively

on their cars, which they drive alone in great numbersmore than 83%. Though the city has a

bus system, less than 3% of residents use it to commute. Only about 2% of people

in town walk or bike to work. Because the town is bisected by two diverging Interstates, non-vehicular movement is somewhat impeded.

The analysis show the approximate totals of parking spaces on the parcels indicated. an estimated

82000 people are downtown during business hours. of the 6000+ people that live in downtown columbus 2000 of those do not have a car. so real numbers in commuters downtown are approxi-

mately 76000. out of that number 80% of them drive alone. 5% take public transit and another

5% walk or bike. in total approximately 70900 spaces are used on any given day of the week during business hours in downtown columbus.

3800 bike/walk - 3800 bus - 60800 drive alone - 2500 2+ in car- = 70900 spaces in use.

65,000 + 8000 meters

= 73000 parking spots

80% of the downtown area is within a 5 minute

walk from some type of parking*

(*does not include street parking.)

The large majority of downtown columbus is within an easy walk to

structured and surface parking.

As for the perception that parking spots are hard to find in downtown columbus, as if everywhere was

Manhattan, the reality is that a space may not be open precisely when and where a driver wants it.

But the journal Transportation Science has shown that drivers who parked at the first available spot

and then walked to their destination on average saved

more time (and savings in gas) over those who cruised around until a better spot opened.
