11-63-4: - PEDESTRIAN SHEDS Pedestrian sheds are useful in planning as they provide an understanding of how far a typical pedestrian might be willing to walk. They are based on the understanding that most people are willing to walk up to five minutes before they will choose to drive and up to ten minutes to a major destination or transit stop. SGCPs use pedestrian sheds to define the boundaries and the relationship of development patterns to create walkable environments. A. Pedestrian Sheds shall be centered on a Neighborhood Center or a Main Street. B. Types of Pedestrian Sheds. 1. Standard Pedestrian Shed. A pedestrian shed that is based on a one-quarter mile (1320 feet) radius around a node. Standard pedestrian sheds are useful in planning neighborhoods. See diagram on the following page. 2. Linear Pedestrian Shed. A pedestrian shed that is based on a one-quarter mile (1320 feet) radius around a series of block lengths. Linear pedestrian sheds are useful in planning neighborhood main streets or neighborhoods with multiple nodes. See diagram on the following page. 3. Long Pedestrian Shed. A pedestrian shed that is based on a one-half mile (2640 feet) radius around a series of block lengths. Long pedestrian sheds are useful in planning major destinations and downtowns. See diagram on the following page. C. Maximum Size of Pedestrian Shed. 1. Individual standard pedestrian sheds shall be no more than 160 acres. 2. Linear pedestrian sheds shall be no more than 200 acres. The site or any plan may be smaller than its associated pedestrian shed. 3. Long pedestrian sheds shall be no more than 510 acres. D. Remnants of the site outside the pedestrian sheds shall meet the following requirements: 1. Remnant areas outside of a pedestrian shed shall be assigned transect zones, civic spaces, or special districts; and 2.

The pedestrian shed shall be mapped on the regulating plan. [image omitted; see the official code]
