http://transect-collection.org/p932357684 The Local Transect gallery contains several coordinated sets of images from different towns and cities. For each city name, there are three or more Transect Zones (T-zones) that together comprise a local transect, showing typical habitats from less urban to more urban. In very large cities like Philadelphia, we have assigned subzones, like T4-N for Neighborhood, T4-A for Attached and T4-U for Urban. These are examples of how one might apply subzones of T4. In small towns, there is usually no need for more than one T4 zone. Calibration of the Transect is always local; the zones and subzones are based on an analysis of that place and may be assigned names that make sense. en-us (C) Sandy Sorlien sandysorlien@comcast.net (Transect Collection) Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:02:09 GMT Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:56:56 GMT Buildings Architecture and Structures http://transect-collection.org/img/s11/v30/p31921059-10.jpg http://transect-collection.org/p932357684 120 77 http://transect-collection.org/p932357684/e1B54C050

This common English frontage, called dooryard or garden-and-wall, provides some privacy for residential and lodging functions without raising the first story. With a minimal ramp over the door sill, these dwellings can be fully accessible and visitable. However, in an area with more foot traffic, this frontage would not be as private as a raised stoop entry.

]]>Oak Park, Illinois
Although "Chicago" is included as a keyword, Oak Park is a separate city adjacent to Chicago. The T-3 Sub-Urban Zone is outstanding and includes many famous Frank Lloyd Wright houses. Note the very narrow lots; yet the property values are high. This block is walkable to T4, T5, T6, and transit.

]]>Oak Park, Illinois
Most small towns the size of Oak Park do not have a T6 Urban Core zone, but Oak Park's adjacency to Chicago and good transit connections attracts higher density than most small towns can. The vast amount of T6 in Chicago, in contrast to Oak Park's two or three block stretch, would need several subzones to reflect its varying heights and character in a transect-based code. The Miami 21 code is an example of subzoning T6 for height limits.

]]>Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Main Street, Manayunk
T5-N is a suggested subzone of the T5 Urban Center Zone. N is for Neighborhood. Many city neighborhoods, like small towns, have their own main streets (mixed-use corridors) or neighborhood centers that have this general character: 2-3 stories, retail frontages, two-way urban thoroughfare with two narrow travel lanes and two parking lanes, bicycle sharrows, medium-width sidewalks. This common American character is shown in this image. At the same time, a more intense T5 may be found in the city's downtown, which is the case in Center City Philadelphia. In this Local Transect, we've subzoned the photographs for T5-N (Neighborhood) and T5-D (Downtown) to make a zoning distinction. Of course, Philadelphia also has T6 for even taller mixed-use buildings and more urban thoroughfares.
For descriptions of the normative Transect Zones from which we calibrate locally, please see the gallery pages for each T-zone.

]]>Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Walnut Street at 18th
T5-U is a suggested subzone of the T5 Urban Center Zone. Many city neighborhoods, like small towns, have their own main streets (mixed-use corridors) or neighborhood centers that have a similar character, but this area is more urban. In this Local Transect, we've subzoned the photographs for T5-N (Neighborhood) and T5-U (Urban or Uptown) to make a zoning distinction. Of course, Philadelphia also has T6 for even taller mixed-use buildings and more urban thoroughfares. In this image there is a jump in building height across 18th Street, after the 4-story corner building. When coding for this change, many factors come into play. It could all be the same T5-U zone if maximum heights are agreed upon for the future. Or it may be better to make another distinction within T5, or shift to a T6 subzone.

]]>These covered stoops are a common private frontage type in Providence. This block is especially interesting because it appears that the sidewalk was extended into the private frontage rather than the stoops and bay windows encroaching into the public frontage. Without looking at a plat map we cannot tell for sure, though the pre-litigation age of the houses would argue for the lot line being at the facade, not at the lower edge of the stoop. In new development, an extension of the sidewalk may be done as a Coordinated Frontage (Smartcode term found under Special Requirements) to shift potential legal liability for stoops, sidewalk signs, planters, etc., onto the private property owner rather than the city.
