The <br />effort includes the preparation and administration of a Visual Preference <br />Survey (VPS) to gauge local opinion on design and appearance related <br />issues such as building orientation, commercial corridor development, <br />and commercial design standards.

In addition to commercial design, some other major issues to be <br />addressed by the project include establishment of new mixed use districts, a neighborhood <br />conservation overlay district framework, improving basic landscaping, tree protection, parking, <br />fencing, and exterior lighting development standards. New standards to address development <br />and redevelopment on the city`s nonconforming lots will also be included. After adoption of the <br />new Ordinance, it will be placed into an interactive digital format by the VIC Group for serving <br />on The city's web page. <br />Client: City of Portsmouth, Virginia <br />Contact: Fred Brusso, Current Planning Manager <br />Phone: 757.393.8836 x42120 <br />lFraniciie~, Tennessee ~ g®ning ®rciintynce <br />Clarion Associates was retained by the City of Franklin to draft a revised <br />development code for this fast-growing, progressive community in the Nashville <br />region.
