Preliminary Internal Review Draft <br />LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS <br />Public/Quasi Public and Institutional <br />Community Character <br />Description: Government facilities and other <br />institutional uses, including public safety <br />facilities, schools, and municipal facilities or <br />public utilities. <br />Location: Facility location depends on use. <br />Community -serving uses, such as schools, <br />recreation centers, or libraries are best located <br />near neighborhoods with multimodal transit <br />access. Semi -industrial uses such as public <br />utilities should be located to minimize impacts <br />on surrounding areas. Transportation access <br />should be considered for all types of public uses. <br />Transportation and Connectivity <br />• Integrate public/institutional facilities with the <br />broader transportation network to ensure <br />accessibility and visibility for all residents. <br />• Develop clear and consistent wayfinding <br />signage helps users navigate to facilities, <br />whether arriving by car, bus, bike, or on foot. <br />• Design sidewalks and bike trails that <br />provide equitable, multimodal access where <br />appropriate. <br />Uses <br />Primary: Government and institutional buildings. <br />Secondary: Community amenities like libraries <br />and recreation centers. <br />Density and Scale: Density and scale may vary <br />but should remain compatible with adjacent <br />neighborhoods. <br />Development Considerations <br />• Development serves as community anchors <br />for civic, educational, and service functions. <br />• Facilities such as schools, libraries, and <br />recreation centers integrate with plazas and <br />parks to promote gathering. <br />• Design prioritizes safety and access for <br />residents, when necessary, using screening to <br />minimize disturbance. <br />• Ensure public facilities are clearly defined, <br />accessible, and appropriately located to <br />support community well-being. <br />50 I Factors Influencing Growth <br />LOUISVILLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />
