Fisher Town Design provides design and facilitation services for all its projects, as follows:
Site Opportunities & Constraints Mapping
In preparation for a design that meets the needs of the community and connects to the natural features in and near the site, Fisher Town Design prepares a full site analysis. This analysis documents all of the physical, legal and cultural aspects of the site, which then deeply informs the design process.
Fisher Town Design uses the charrette process to co-create designs and plans with and for communities. A charrette is a collaborate planning process that harnesses the talents and energies of all interested parties to create and support a feasible plan that represents transformative community change. It is a 1-2 week intense work session that includes public workshops, stakeholder meetings, interactive exercises and open houses. The charrette team can include architects, traffic engineers, retail consultants, parking specialists, graphic artists, civil engineers, etc. as needed for each project.
Master Plans that incorporate design and zoning into one document are called Regulating Plans. Regulating Plans include elements important to creating walkable streets such as building heights, terminated vista locations, civic spaces and required frontage types as well as permitted land uses. The Regulating Plan and SmartCode together ensure that new development takes the form of a walkable public realm.
Fisher Town Design prepares this unified land development ordinance for neighborhoods, downtowns and cities using the DNA of the local communities. SmartCodes fold zoning, subdivision regulations and urban design standards into one compact document.
