In a coordinated effort between the City and the Greater Fort Bend Economic Development Council, the community charged KKC with crafting new standards that would build upon the unique features of Stafford and provide an attractive business environment along the US Highway 90-A commercial corridor. KKC conducted an extensive analysis of existing conditions along the corridors with particular emphasis on the design details that dictate community character, including building location and orientation, height and scale, architectural details, parking and loading, outdoor and accessory uses, signage, and green space on sites. Interim regulations were drafted that temporarily quantified and regulated these and other variables while the team coordinated with area leaders to arrive at a more permanent solution. Additionally, the team developed a three dimensional computer model to assist in the community visioning effort and present “before-and-after” possibilities for the corridors.
