The plan posed several interesting challenges that required creative application of urban design standards. First, the site is located at the confluence of two distinct roadway grid patterns; therefore, VHB needed to design a circulation system that left both grids intact but still provided a cohesive street system for the development. Second, while the site enjoys stunning views of Chesapeake Bay, there are also some less-than-desirable views onto adjacent properties. By using building layout and height variations, VHB was able to design a scheme to capitalize on the waterfront while minimizing the impacts of underutilized adjacent land. Finally, between the site and the Bay lies a well-used public park and beach, by using a system of linear open space corridors, VHB was able to connect the development’s private open spaces to this public amenity.
