Urban Design for Dover Corridor Overlay Zones

This rule establishes that for corridor overlay zones, superior urban design standards will include: 27.2(a)(v) – Green technologies for stormwater management, as well as green energy technologies such as geothermal heating and cooling and solar energy supplies. Superior urban design places a strict and primary importance on the pedestrian. The concept should lend itself to interconnectivity while presenting building structures as aspects of the street, not simply islands existing in the “sea of roads”. The design should encourage fewer car-trips, as well as promote automobile trips on an interconnected local street system rather than trips that utilize the arterials
