COMPLETE STREETS HANDBOOK CHECKLIST Philadelphia City Planning Commission

1

INSTRUCTIONS This Checklist is an implementation tool of the Philadelphia Complete Streets Handbook (the “Handbook”) and enables City engineers and planners to review projects for their compliance with the Handbook’s policies. The handbook provides design guidance and does not supersede or replace language, standards or policies established in the City Code, City Plan, or Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission receives this Checklist as a function of its Civic Design Review (CDR) process. This checklist is used to document how project applicants considered and accommodated the needs of all users of city streets and sidewalks during the planning and/or design of projects affecting public rights-of-way. Departmental reviewers will use this checklist to confirm that submitted designs incorporate complete streets considerations (see §11-901 of The Philadelphia Code). Applicants for projects that require Civic Design Review shall complete this checklist and attach it to plans submitted to the Philadelphia City Planning Commission for review, along with an electronic version.

The Handbook and the checklist can be accessed at http://www.phila.gov/CityPlanning/projectreviews/Pages/CivicDesignReview.aspx

Civic Sustainable Design Checklist – Updated September 3, 2019

1

Civic Design Review Sustainable Design Checklist Sustainable design represents important city-wide concerns about environmental conservation and energy use. Development teams should try to integrate elements that meet many goals, including:

· Reuse of existing building stock · Incorporation of existing on-site natural habitats and landscape elements · Inclusion of high-performing stormwater control · Site and building massing to maximize daylight and reduce shading on adjacent sites · Reduction of energy use and the production of greenhouse gases · Promotion of reasonable access to transportation alternatives

The Sustainable Design Checklist asks for responses to specific benchmarks. These metrics go above and beyond the minimum requirements in the Zoning and Building codes. All benchmarks are based on adaptions from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4 unless otherwise noted.

Categories

Benchmark

Does project meet benchmark? If yes, please explain how. If no, please explain why not.

Location and Transportation

(1) Access to Quality Transit

Locate a functional entry of the project within a ¼-mile (400-meter) walking distance of existing or planned bus, streetcar, or rideshare stops, bus rapid transit stops, light or heavy rail stations.

(2) Reduced Parking Footprint

All new parking areas will be in the rear yard of the property or under the building, and unenclosed or uncovered parking areas are 40% or less of the site area.

(3) Green Vehicles

Designate 5% of all parking spaces used by the project as preferred parking for green vehicles or car share vehicles. Clearly identify and enforce for sole use by car share or green vehicles, which include plug-in electric vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles.

(4) Railway Setbacks (Excluding frontages facing trolleys/light rail or enclosed subsurface rail lines or subways)

To foster safety and maintain a quality of life protected from excessive noise and vibration, residential development with railway frontages should be setback from rail lines and the building’s exterior envelope, including windows, should reduce exterior sound transmission to 60dBA. (If setback used, specify distance)i

(5) Bike Share Station Incorporate a bike share station in coordination with and conformance to the standards of Philadelphia Bike Share.

Residential lobby is less than 1/4mile from the bus stops at 5th &Spring Garden and 6th & SpringGarden for Bus Route 43. Site is1/3 mile from Spring Garden stop ofthe Market Frankford line.

Yes. Five surface parking spacesprovided in the North side rear yardof the building, comprising less than2% of site area. All other parkingprovided underground.

Yes. 5% of all parking spaces willbe designated as electric vehiclecharging spaces, green vehiclespaces and/or car share spaces.

Site does not front any railways.

No, bike share will not be provided.

Water Efficiency

(6) Outdoor Water Use

Maintain on-site vegetation without irrigation. OR, Reduce of watering requirements at least 50% from the calculated baseline for the site's peak watering month.

Sustainable Sites

(7) Pervious Site Surfaces

Provides vegetated and/or pervious open space that is 30% or greater of the site's Open Area, as defined by the zoning code. Vegetated and/or green roofs can be included in this calculation.

(8) Rainwater Management

Conform to the stormwater requirements of the Philadelphia Water Department(PWD) and either: A) Develop a green street and donate it to PWD, designed and constructed in accordance with the PWD Green Streets Design Manual, OR B) Manage additional runoff from adjacent streets on the development site, designed and constructed in accordance with specifications of the PWD Stormwater Management Regulations

(9) Heat Island Reduction (excluding roofs)

Reduce the heat island effect through either of the following strategies for 50% or more of all on-site hardscapes: A) Hardscapes that have a high reflectance, an SRI>29. B) Shading by trees, structures, or solar panels.

Energy and Atmosphere

(10) Energy Commissioning and Energy Performance - Adherence to the New Building Code

PCPC notes that as of April 1, 2019 new energy conservation standards are required in the Philadelphia Building Code, based on recent updates of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and the option to use ASHRAE 90.01-2016. PCPC staff asks the applicant to state which path they are taking for compliance, including their choice of code and any options being pursued under the 2018 IECC.ii

(11) Energy Commissioning and Energy Performance - Going beyond the code

Will the project pursue energy performance measures beyond what is required in the Philadelphia code by meeting any of these benchmarks? iii •Reduce energy consumption by achieving 10% energy savings or more from an established baseline using

Yes. Plant selections made tominimize irrigation requirements.

No this will not be provided. Existingsite has 60 SF of pervious areawithin the property and theproposed site will have 1,642 SF ofpervious area.
