MISSION BAY DRIVE TOD

The city of San Diego has opened a new light rail line connecting UCSD to downtown stopping by Pacific Beach, one of San Diego's most popular neighborhoods due its active bars, restaurants and outdoor activities. The area located near the Balboa Ave station mostly consists of car dealerships making it less likely to increase ridership by large numbers. This project plans to bring housing, retail, office spaces and ample open green space all within walking distance.

Cross Section Through the Neighborhood

The design of the neighborhood combines density and public space at a human scale to provide enough services and social interaction. Contrary to popular belief, most people shun wide-open spaces. We may occasionally enjoy hiking open fields, visiting the beach, or viewing an expansive landscape from a car, but the outdoor spaces we choose to inhabit in a civic context have a high degree of definition of enclosure.

"Eyes on the Street"

With ground floor retail spaces, the greater number of people using and observing a space, and the more diverse they are in their interests, the safer the space will tend to be.

FOLSOM CA, RIVER REVITALIZATION

The Folsom River District Revitalization is a masterplan to reconnect people to the Folsom river by increasing public spaces through economic development and recreation opportunities. Some objectives include providing city gateway enhancements, commit to high quality design,and enhance Folsom's heritage. RRM Design executed a feasibilty study of an opportunity site to design a a boutique hotel with a plaza and retail opportunities along Traders Lane.

Beach Front Plaza

New construction of a proposed fourstory mixed-use podium building at 295 W Grand. The building will will have ground floor retail space, and 13 garage spaces with 60 1-2 bedroom residential units above. On site is 30 surface level parking spaces and 14 on street parking spaces.

Fractional Desnity Units

As this project is anticipated to advance key economic development goals, it also implements important housing element policies that reflect the City’s updated Development Code. The updated code adopted a concept known as fractional density, which provides an incentive to develop smaller units. Fractional density is permitted in all medium and highdensity zones throughout the City and within commercial zones that allow mixed-use projects, such as West Grand Avenue.

SDSU MAIN CAMPUS INFILL DEVELOPMENT (IN PROGRESS)

SDSU has recently proposed five 13-story towers and one 9 story tower that will house 5,170 students at the end of 55th ave. A recently built apartment complex adjacent to this proposed project and an existing dorm together house another 1,000 students. The site is located on a severe fire risk zone. All within a two block area, there is only one way in and out on a two lane residential street.

This project proposes the much needed housing to be developed closer to the SDSU trolley station and distributed throughout the area where there are plenty of opportunities for infill development in close proximity to the trolley station. By developing in this area, it will promote trolley ridership and strategically elevate College area's urban fabric.
