North District: New Construction
Single-Family Residential
- Promote Infill Single-Family Residential
Housing in the neighborhood located
northeast of First and University. New
Construction based on sustainable urbanism
concepts.
Commercial
- Commercial uses will be along University
Avenue corridor. Additional light commercial
opportunities will be highlighted along North
First Street. (i.e. Storage Units, etc.)

New Construction
Mixed Use Retail
New mixed use construction will be located along Green Street and First
Street, to connect the campus town and downtown Champaign retail
districts.
Residential
The new residential neighborhood will be located south of Green Street.
This will occupy the former concrete plant site. The neighbor design will be
based around ideas of community and sustainable urbanism.

Green Infrastructure - Alleyways
Technique 1:
Alley Drainage
All alleys will be
properly graded and
pitched to allow water to
run to the center of the
alley and then flow to
the street.
This prevents the need
for additional sewer
infrastructure and
prevents adjacent
properties from
flooding.

Green Infrastructure - Alleyways
Technique 2:
Permeable Pavement
Reduces the rate and quantity
of stormwater runoff
Reduces stress on the sewer
system
Recharges ground water
Filters silt, pollutants and
debris
Impermeable Pavement
Permeable Pavement
South district:

Technique 3: High
Albedo Pavement
A pavement material that is light in
color and reflects sunlight away
from the surface.
Less heat is radiated by the
pavement.
Reduces the urban heat island effect.
This reduces cooling costs, helps the
survival of urban vegetation, and
improves air quality.

Technique 4: Recycled
Construction Materials
Recycled concrete aggregate can be
used in the concrete mix and as a
base beneath surface paving.
Slag, a by-product of steel
production, can be used as a
component of the concrete mix,
reducing industrial waste.
Ground tire rubber can be used in
porous asphalt and reclaimed asphalt
pavement in nonporous asphalt.
Benefits:
Reduces waste hauled to landfills
Reduces the need to extract natural
resources
Develops new technologies and saves
money

Technique 5: Dark Sky
Compliant Light Fixtures
Light fixtures are specially designed to
direct light downward, focusing light where
its needed.
These fixtures can also incorporate the
latest technologies in energy efficiency
while maintaining adequate light levels.
