Design Guidelines & Neighborhood Conditions Matrix Request for Proposal
“Looking forward to the next 20 years, the City has embraced a new 2040 Master Plan to ensure O’Fallon develops as an inclusive, welcoming, and attractive place for people to build their lives and their businesses. A major principle of the 2040 Master Plan is the “15-minute city” — a concept in which residents have access to basic amenities and needs within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. The 15-minute city concept creates a potential shift in land use planning in areas of the city which have generally been developed as single-family residential developments. Dovetailing this principle, the 2040 Master Plan challenges the City to provide diverse and attainable housing options. O’Fallon is aiming to fill the gaps in our housing stock to ensure residents can find options that suit them, regardless of life phase, economic status, or household size.
There are three separate deliverables for the project: (1) Neighborhood District Design Guidelines, (2) Residential Design Guidelines, and (3) Neighborhood Conditions Assessment & Matrix. All deliverables shall be guided by the principles in the 2040 Master Plan. The City currently utilizes its Commercial Design Handbook and Downtown Design Guidelines which have been valuable tools in guiding the desired design of larger commercial development as well as modifications to existing buildings in the Downtown District. The Neighborhood District Design Guidelines and Residential Design Guidelines should follow a similar framework as these two existing guidebooks.”
Any firm which desires to present its qualifications to the City of O’Fallon shall provide them to the City via digital submittal (PDF preferred) by Friday, March 4th, 2022. Submittals and questions regarding the project can be directed to:
