Creek Marketplace has been developed with major retail
users, free standing pad buildings as well as free
standing retail buildings. The boundaries of this
site allow for maximum frontage along Rittenhouse
Road, and the orientation of the site plan, landscape
concepts and buffers, as well as building architecture
and placement has been focused on creating a major
gateway appearance at the intersection of Rittenhouse
Road and the Ellsworth Road express route. This creates
a strong commercial intersection with a variety of
building sizes and orientation with similar architectural
elements establishing a strong sense of arrival and
continuity at this major intersection.
The
free-standing pad buildings may include, but are not
limited to free-standing restaurants and banks, fast-food
restaurants and gasoline stations, etc. Although no
specific users have been identified at this time,
we understand a Special Use Permit will be required
for some of these proposed uses.
The
organization of the perimeter buildings will provide
relationships to the overall project to assist in
the reduction of massing, and the impact of the parking
areas, and to facilitate easy access around the site.
The site will be provided with shaded pedestrian walkways
to create separation of the parking field, and tying
the internal user to the perimeter building. Site
amenities will be distributed throughout the project
in both the length and the depth of the site. These
amenities shall be, but are not limited to, raised
access planting areas, concrete paving services, accent
pavers, seating areas and accent lighting. These amenities
will be discussed in detail in the Design Guidelines
section of the development booklet.
