Reston Master Plan Special Study: Vision

The Reston Vision was adopted during Phase I of the study. The RestonVision applies to the wider Reston community, as well as the TransitStation Areas.

Vision

Reston will be a complete community designed for the 21stcentury. An increasingly diverse residential population willhave broad choices in jobs, housing, and lifestyles. Toachieve this vision:

Planning will take full advantage of the Metrorail SilverLine Extension. Metrorail will connect to the WashingtonMetropolitan Region and Washington Dulles International

Airport, and will be complemented by improved stationarea connectivity, a strong local and regional busnetwork, complete streets that serve pedestrians, bicyclistsand transit users, and a network of trails.

The communitys greatest densities will be at the threeMetro station areas. A broad mix of regional retail andother attractions will be part of an enhanced urbancenter at the Town Center and strong local retail and avariety of amenities will characterize the other Metrostation areas and village centers. To address congestion,

the station areas will have an appropriate balance ofresidential uses and employment opportunities.

A full range of housing choices will be provided forhouseholds of all incomes and needs.

Employment opportunities will build upon the existing mixof international and national corporations, professionalassociations, centers for advanced technology, researchand development companies, and local services.

A strong institutional component will include a major

hospital center, a regional government center, a new 21stCentury regional public library, a major fine andperforming arts center, other civic and cultural uses, andpublic and private educational institutions of higherlearning.

Planning will emphasize protection of natural areas andthe environment and development of an array of cultural,educational, and recreational opportunities.

RESTON TRANSIT STATION AREAS & VILLAGE CENTERS

Urban Design GuidelinesSTREETSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES: THE FRAMEWORK

STREETSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES: THE DETAILS

Block size is integral in creating a streetscape that is safe and pleasant.

The grid of streets concept for Reston TSA emphasizes shorter blocks

and more frequent mid-block connections that result in convenient,

short walking distances. Shorter blocks also allow for varied uses

and architectural building faces within the span of a short walking

distance to create interest and activity along the street edge.

The Design Guidelines will include recommendations

or pedestrian realm streetscape details apply to all

streetscape areas between the curb and building face

on both public and private streets. They will cover:

hardscape elements

paving

planting

lighting

street furniture

benches

litter and recycling receptacles

bike racks

signage

public art

All new streetscape types in Reston TSA (with the

exception of service streets) will be comprised

of the following three zones: the building zone,

the sidewalk, and the landscape amenity panel.

The building zone is the area immediately

adjacent to the building where entrances are

located and where activities such as outdoor

dining and retail browsing occur.

The sidewalk is exclusively reserved for

pedestrian movement and should be clear of

any obstructions.

The landscape amenity panel is the area

adjacent to the street in which street furniture,

street lights, signage, transit stops, and other

public realm amenities are located.

Urban Design GuidelinesSITE AND BUILDING DESIGN GUIDELINES

To further the urban design vision set forth in theComprehensive Plan, the Design Guidelines provide

guidance that encourage a built urban form that achieves

the following:

A consistent build-to line or street edge that frames the

public realm but also allows for architectural variation

and interest.

A street edge that is fronted by active uses, such as

retail, commercial, or residential, along which pedestrian

frequent entrances are located to activate the public

realm. Blank walls should be avoided.

Variation and creative articulation of the building faades

to create diversity and an interesting, vibrant pedestrian

experience.

Buildings that accommodate their intensity using greater

heights and smaller building footprints.

Varied building heights, with the tallest located near

Metrorail stations, and on Boulevards, Avenues and

Collectors, .

Incorporation of parking in underground and/or internalstructures wrapped by active uses.

Inclusion of high-quality, well-integrated urban park

elements and public spaces.

Use of building step-backs to provide light and air at the

street level.

A commitment to excellence in site and building design.

Incorporation of sustainable building practices in site

and building design.
