Promote micro-level sustainable practices (low flow fixtures, occupancy sensors, etc)

North District: New Construction Single-Family Residential

- Promote Infill Single-Family Residential

Housing in the neighborhood located northeast of First and University. New Construction based on sustainable urbanism concepts.

Commercial

- Commercial uses will be along University

Avenue corridor. Additional light commercial opportunities will be highlighted along North First Street. (i.e. Storage Units, etc.)

Mixed Use – Retail New mixed use construction will be located along Green Street and First

Street, to connect the campus town and downtown Champaign retail districts.

Residential The new residential neighborhood will be located south of Green Street.

This will occupy the former concrete plant site. The neighbor design will be based around ideas of community and sustainable urbanism.

Green Alleyways

Permeable Pavement for Parking

Efficient Lighting

South district: Green Infrastructure - Alleyways

Technique 1: Alley Drainage

All alleys will be properly graded and pitched to allow water to run to the center of the alley and then flow to the street.

This prevents the need for additional sewer infrastructure and prevents adjacent properties from flooding.

South district: Green Infrastructure - Alleyways

Technique 2: Permeable Pavement

Reduces the rate and quantity of stormwater runoff

Reduces stress on the sewer system

Recharges ground water

Filters silt, pollutants and debris

Impermeable Pavement Permeable Pavement

Technique 3: High Albedo Pavement

A pavement material that is light in color and reflects sunlight away from the surface.

Less heat is radiated by the pavement.

Reduces the urban heat island effect.

This reduces cooling costs, helps the survival of urban vegetation, and improves air quality.

High Albedo Pavement Conventional Pavement

Technique 4: Recycled Construction Materials Recycled concrete aggregate can be

used in the concrete mix and as a base beneath surface paving.

Slag, a by-product of steel production, can be used as a component of the concrete mix, reducing industrial waste.

Ground tire rubber can be used in porous asphalt and reclaimed asphalt pavement in nonporous asphalt.

Benefits: Reduces waste hauled to landfills

Reduces the need to extract natural resources

Develops new technologies and saves money

Technique 5: Dark Sky Compliant Light Fixtures

Light fixtures are specially designed to direct light downward, focusing light where it’s needed.

These fixtures can also incorporate the latest technologies in energy efficiency while maintaining adequate light levels.
