Senate Bill 330 (SB 330) already requires cities to permit whatever housing density is permitted by their General Plan. As a result, the City of Pomona has no power to prevent the construction of houses in this region. All three maps—the TIMS map, SB 535, and CalEnviroScreen—depict alarming indicators of heightened safety, environmental health, and social need. However, I use “Street” and “Form” which consit of coverage, lot size, amienity, building mass, building height, and stories to address these issues and figure out how to make accommodations for high-quality homes in this severely cumulatively impacted region on Reservoir St. In the images that follow, I’ll show how I apply quantifiable “Form” requirements and suggest new street conditions. Which considers the overall effects of pollution, truck traffic, noise, dust, debris, nuisance, and transportation injury, enabling the coexistence of higher dwelling densities and minor industrial facilities.

The site is situated at critical crossroads between E Pacific Coast Highway and N Avalon Boulevard. It is unique because of its diversified zoning which includes single-family and multi-family dwellings, commercial space, open space, and public uses like Banning High School neighbors across N. Avalon Blvd. The location will be a community center with a variety of activities, including a fresh vegetable market, a computer lab, free tutoring, a leisure space, and a cooking demonstration program for healthy meals on the first floor. The second floor will serve as a meeting area, daycare facility, and community garden. The initiative also seeks to decrease the negative effects on the environment of traffic, exposure to PM 2.5, diesel particulates, and toxic facilities. More individuals will be motivated to walk or bike instead of drive if the air quality is better. This can be accomplished by increasing landscaping to decrease the heat island effect, increase precipitation absorption, and lower GHG emissions. Bus stops that are attractive to the eye, road diets, gorgeously landscaped street medians, protected bike lanes, the installation of a crosswalk light guard system, and fewer street parking are all examples of human-scale enhancement. This will all contribute to converting the dangerous pedestrian E Pacific Coast Highway into a complete street with fewer pedestrian motor conflicts, reducing adverse environmental effects while boosting Wilmington’s pedestrian footprint.

The site which consists of 13 lots totaling 3.69 acres and is located at a busy intersection of Park Avenue and University Avenue in Riverside, California. The location will transform into a public/commercial area with a range of uses. The main structure will have two stories, with the first floor serving as both public seating, a place for street sellers and small enterprises to set up shop between the columns and make use of the shade, public facilities, and regular client base. This concept aims to establish a location with facilities where street cart merchants may feel safe and at ease while also defending them against robbery, bigotry, and harassment. There will be 8 units totaling 20448.8392 square feet of commercial space on the second floor including outdoor dining areas for restaurants and shops. Other features include an open lawn in the middle of the property that can be used for community activities including art walks, farmers markets, recreational events, small concerts, outdoor movie evenings, and leisure space. There will also be an operations and maintenance facility, which will be responsible for site upkeep and helping street sellers obtain their business licenses, food handler licenses, and permits in order to avoid fines, jail time, and having their possessions seized. Finally, there will be a security structure providing on-site 24-hour surveillance.

The location of the site is on a section of the excavation for the now-cancelled 710 Fwy extension between the Sequoia School on the south and roughly reaching up to the 210 Fwy on the north. The goal is to determine how to reconcile the gap that divides the site’s west and east ends. There are four sections to the project. First, there will be a community center that offers educational possibilities as well as athletic areas like three tennis courts, a soccer field, a baseball field, and a basketball court, from the Sequoia School to W Del Mar Blvd. Second, there will be mixed-use areas where you can live and shop from W Green St. to W Del Mar Blvd. Third, there will be a parking garage from W Green St to W Colorado Blvd that will let tenants and guests park within the building after departing from the 710 and 210. They can either depart the parking complex from the base floor which will take them to W del Mar Blvd, or from the level above W Green St. This parking building is also special because it has a playground, outdoor gym, community garden, and public restrooms on the roof. There will be open space, a pedestrian bridge that leads more west of the side, and a pedestrian/bike route that leads more east of the site from W Colorado Blvd to about the 210 Fwy. This design, in my opinion, contains a varied setting that can accommodate everyone and cover the points in what is most required to establish a 15 minute neighborhood. There will be a network of open spaces for pedestrians to travel through the four sections of the proposed site. The fact that you may live, work, play, learn, adventure, and shop all in one well-connected space is what distinguishes this idea from others.

V.1 & V.2 Clean Slate Concept : Multi-Generational Unit

Property Type: Single Family Residential Parcel Size: .14 Acres

Project Type: Academic Undergraduate: URP 4510/A Land Use & Urban Design Policy Date: Fall 2022

Since 1971, the proportion of Americans living in multigenerational households has quadrupled. People are spanning across generations for a variety of reasons, including cultural, economic, and familial caregiving. Most city zoning laws do not address multi-generational housing and were written with a focus on single-family homes. For the City of Pomona, I created two brand-new concepts for a Multi-Generational Unit (MGU) referred to as V.1 and V.2. The location, which is a level vacant lot measuring 6,000 square feet, is also 100 feet deep and 60 feet wide. V.1 clean slate concept demonstrates how to allow more diversity of uses within single-family residential zones, that doesn’t only accommodate MGU’s needs but also the community. This can be achieved through Live Work Units that promote a conversation with the street, an ADU that allows for more monetizable aspects and space. Also, one main open space courtyard that allows all aspects of the home to gather. V.2 clean slate concept emphasizes on multi-generational communal engagement that allows social gatherings to take place all throughout the home. This layout allow for accessibility and adaptability aspects by providing opportunities for expansions, and conversions when it comes to storage or adding additional units. ADU
