3. A comprehensive planning process is the catalyst for a vibrant construction program that meets mission needs, takes best advantage of available real estate and ensures that development occurs in concert with environmental considerations, including the National Environmental Policy Act.This process achieves goals of sustainable development and creates quality neighborhoods that are walkable and are great places to work, live, and play.Major General Merdith W.B.

4. Master Plan Vision Planning Vision:In support of the mission, Soldiers and Families, we will create a sustainable community of walkable neighborhoods with identifiable town centers connected by great streets.Design Principles Mixed-Use Buildings Single use facilities contribute to inefficient land use (sprawl) because they force construction of small, single story facilities. Compatible functions should be collocated in mixed use facilities. Mixed use facilities are economically and environmentally sustainable, use land more efficiently, and support vertical construction and compact development. Regional Character Architecturally compatible buildings help create a unique and unified environment. Regional and local resources should be studied in evaluating existing themes. Materials that are native to the region should be used. Colors and textures should also be reflective of the region. Car Parks Seas of asphalt are major eyesores on Ft Lewis. They are unpleasant to view, uncomfortable to walk through and create significant storm water run-off. Make these places more like a garden. Between every parking aisle, create a planted aisle full of trees, grass and shrubs. Allow drainage from the paved area to pass through the curbs and into the landscaped areas. Town Square Create a place where people can gather for a sense of community. Fort Lewis 2017 Planning Vision and Design Principles

Mixed Use Facilities (as measured by distance between shopping and residential areas) 4. Pedestrian Accessibility (as measured by factors that encourage walking) North Fort ADP Neighborhood Center Fort Lewis 2017 North Fort Lewis Neighborhood Center

11. Energy Savings Energy Savings • OSD Study “More Fight, Less Fuel” • Conservation • Renewable Energy • $20M spent on energy in 2007 for Fort Lewis facilities • ~$18M investment coupled with utility rebates/incentives will save ~28% of Fort Lewis energy (payback of 3.6 years) Fort Lewis 2017 Jackson Ave ADP

12. Lighting – Utility Energy Savings Contract Lighting contributes to: • Security / safety • Mission capability / productivity • Creating gathering places • Sustainability through walkability • Sustainability through energy savings • Fort Lewis is partnering with Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) • Approx $176K in annual energy savings from upgrading vehicle maintenance facility lighting • Overall projected lighting savings with upgrades: $885K/year Poorly lit parking Well lit parking

18. THE SUSTAINABLE DOWNTOWN Renewable Energy Large retail roofs can be an ideal location for photovoltaic (solar) panels that produce electricity from sunlight Green roofs Reduce stormwater runoff, reduce cooling loads for large retail facilities, improve low-slope roof longevity and reduce the heat island effect Permeable Paving Reduces stormwater runoff and the resultant need for large retention facilities, infiltration is also increased preserving more of the natural hydrology.
