ETYMOLOGY. THERE ARE SEVERAL VERSIONS AS TO HOW THE NAME OF URDANETA
EVOLVED. ACCORDING TO THE PURISTS, THE CORRECT NAME OF URDANETA SHOULD
HAVE BEEN ―ORGANIST SO, SINCE ITS SPANISH ROOT WORD WAS ORGANO. THE
THEORISTS, ON THE OTHER HAND, BELIEVED THAT ORGANITA, WHICH DENOTES
―LITTLE ORGAN UNITS, WAS THE ORIGINAL NAME OF THE CITY GIVEN THAT THE
PLACE WAS THEN COMPOSED OF PORTIONS OF BARRIOS OF NEIGHBORING TOWNS
WERE TRAVELERS AND TRADERS CONVERGED. SINCE EDUCATION IN THE EARLY
DAYS WAS CENTERED IN THE POBLACION, THE LACK OF EDUCATION AND POOR
GRAMMAR OF THE PEOPLE LED TO THE WRONG ARTICULATION OF ORGANITA. IT IS
PROBABLE THAT NICOLAS ALONZO MANRIQUE, O.P., THE CITYS FIRST ―CURA
PARROCO, RECOMMENDED THE NAME ―URDANETA SINCE IT WAS EUPHONIOUS TO
ORGANITA.
Introduction:
Mixed-use development is a popular method of building space-saving constructions. It is also
known as MXD, a type of urban development that combines together a variety of land uses such as
commercial, residential, and entertainment, whereas mixed-use real estate refers to a multi-story
building including both residential and commercial uses.
This development has become increasingly important in urban planning, with the aim of
revitalizing urban centers and generating community benefits such as reduced demand for
transportation and other infrastructure, increased property values, and increased local employment
opportunities.
Mixed-use developments can therefore be both vertical and horizontal. Whereas in vertical type,
a single building comprising multiple purposes offers residential apartments and office space on the
higher levels, and shops for commercial usage on the ground floor. This design combines public and
private functions in a single multi-story structure. On the other hand, a horizontal type of mixed-use
development is one in which there are several buildings on the same land, each with a distinct purpose
that accommodates residential, commercial, and private office spaces. This allows for a variety of
integrated land uses that accommodate pedestrian within in the block.
Mixed-use developments benefit in a variety of ways. It enhances the ability to bring such
greater opportunity to a small and limited piece of land. Because of the variety of buildings inside a lot,
it promotes a pedestrian-friendly environment, diminishes people's transportation needs, and is a small
step toward introducing more green urban spaces into existence. Furthermore, because establishments
are in a dense area with pedestrian access, they are exposed to more customers and make more revenue.
Mixed-use, the close physical integration of places for work, living, recreation, entertainment
and relaxation is an essential ingredient in creating sustainable communities. In a very elementary
sense, mixed-use development is just practical. It places the day-to-day things we need to do in
immediate proximity to each other. Less transportation is required for daily life, and thus the massive
amount of consumption associated with transportation is minimized. There is less need for elaborate
apparatuses like cars, buses and transit systems. Fewer roads and railways are required, consuming less
land and creating less impervious cover. The need for parking lots and garages is reduced. And, of
course, consumption of fossil fuel or other energy sources associated with transportation is minimized.
Mixed-use is practical and sustainable at both the individual level and at the level of the larger
society. It reduces an individual‘s dependence on expensive and time consuming transportation modes
that syphon resources from better long-term investments. It diminishes infrastructure investments in
roadways, transit systems, and the operational and maintenance costs that accompany each, which act
as a constant drain on resources for local and regional governments.
Design Rationale:
A s part of the Vision and Mission of the Local Government of Urdaneta City and because of
the current fast and dynamic economic growth of Urdaneta City especially in urban area necessitates
equivalent growth of building and construction sector, the Local Government of Urdaneta City,
together with the partnership of a multinational development company has embarked in a long term
project proposal for a mixed use high rise building development that hinges on the synergy of its core
responsibilities. mainly on these components: RETAIL, OFFICE, RECREATIONAL, HOTEL and
RESIDENTIAL UNITS and APARTMENTS.
The proposed development will generally focus on the concept that is to exude a sense of
"openness" for all its users / tenants. By applying green wall elements and bioclimatic architecture with
varying lengths at different angles, the structure should appear to be less dense. With the aid of a
progressive vertical element in all of the design, view decks should be realized and created for the users
to enjoy, while still maintaining a density that is both friendly and efficient.
The design should also further benefit the community with the development‘s sustainable
design strategy, which will include district energy, geo-exchange heating and cooling system with an
ambient heat recovery energy loop, thermal mass, sun shading devices, and green roofs.
The proposed project will also include office units designed to cater the needs of small and
medium size companies who look for office spaces in the business district of the city The proposed
project will be located at the heart of a residential and commercial environment and will be designed to
embrace public interaction, as it creates opportunities for new behaviors of learning in a relaxed setting
and will become the central hub for community within the district – suggestive to a resident‘s extension
of their city home.
Design Objectives:
The following Design Objectives should be included and emphasized in the overall concept of the
development:
1. Accessibility. To provide convenient access for all. Through the use of pedestrian, cycling, and
circulation links, shared access, and parking, to promote connectivity between users in and out
the area. We must also ensure that we abide to all of the prescribed accessibility standards and
guidelines.
2. Sustainability. To encourage sustainable new development and reconstruction by using
architectural design, space planning, and creating related facilities to improve the city's value.
Utilizing design and layout, such as collective use of open spaces and environmental ties, to
promote a diverse range of activities that interact and support each other. And identifying the
key elements of picking a site that can adapt a sustainable design is a major aspect of planning.
It's also important to maximize the building's spaces and resources to ensure that we're
developing an environment that doesn't endanger users, staffs, and the environment overall.
3. Security. To provide users with a sense of security. Development requires analyzing the site,
considering different aspects such as client preferences, soil conditions, geography,
surroundings (the property's existing state), other more, and then developing a plan to meet the
desired outcome. To minimize problems and work-related accidents, as well as exposure to
hazardous materials, it is essential to examine the safety of the surrounding circumstances and
ensure a healthy working environment.
4. Productivity. To improve outcomes on all aspects by using effective planning strategies.
Effective architectural solutions that add substantial value to human relationships, the
environment, and the economy. It can be a setting that promotes a positive lifestyle, wellness,
and growth in human relationships. In terms of the environment, sufficient lighting, safety, and
protection, as well as the engagement of nature into the structure, all contribute to the users'
comfort.
5. Functionality. To be able to design a completely integrated community development that
strongly support and serve the interests of the community members. Evaluate the amount or
degree of developments to the location and neighboring areas, the scale of the planned mixed-
use development (property and structures), total site population, and accessibility to constrained
intended purposes to maintain compliance of land uses.
6. Aesthetics. To create a space that is not only entirely operational but also aesthetically
appealing. One of the most significant parts of architecture is design. A building should be
constructed to satisfy standards for safety, workability, efficiency, and aesthetics, as well as to
ensure proper system strength throughout its expected lifespan. The use of unconventional
resources in architectural style necessarily requires an understanding of themes, patterns, and
social trends.

thermal mass, sun shading devices, and green roofs.
The design of the high street and public plazas were one of the most important aspects to the project‘s
success by bringing people into the pedestrian environment and into the retail spaces.
―Good planning allows for retail, office, residential, and transit to all be co-located together‖, says Dan
Turner, executive vice president of PCI Developments. ―A complete community has all these uses and
this is what we achieved at Marine Gateway.‖
Standing along the main axis of the city, the proposal raises the urban space in a spiralling fashion from
the street level. a number of public green terraces are generated at different heights along the tower.

Mixed-Use Development
A combination of factors, including changing demographics, real estate market, and slow economic
recovery from the Great Recession are driving demand for high-quality, compact and walkable
communities. Local governments need to plan for a diverse range of land uses and development to
sustain a diverse economy.
This section discusses the concept and benefits of mixed-use development, which can be defined as
integrated development that incorporates two or more types of land uses (e.g., housing, offices, retail,
entertainment, institutions, services, restaurants). Mixed-use development can help local governments
better respond to a growing market demand for walkable, vibrant communities with convenient transit
linkages, proximity to jobs, and access to nearby public services and spaces and activity-oriented
destinations.
Mixed-use zoning allows for the horizontal and vertical combination of land uses in a given area.
Commercial, residential, and even in some instances, light industrial are fit together to help create built
environments where residents can live, work, and play. The Placemakers‘ blog, and a brief prepared by
the Village of Caledonia, WI, further explains that while there are many forms of mixed-use
development, it can be categorized three ways:
Consists of single-use buildings within a mixed-use zoning district parcel, which allows for a
range of land uses in a single development project
Provides for a variety of complementary and integrated uses that are walkable and within a
given neighborhood, tract or land, or development project
How Can Delaware Communities Implement Mixed-Use Development?
A comprehensive plan is a legal document used by a local government to guide future land use, and
serves as the basis for zoning, subdivision, and land use codes. Vision-based and community-driven
plan, a comprehensive plan can provide a foundation for establishing what a community wants to
preserve, develop, and change. It guides public investment and private development decisions—
including the intensity, location, and types of development that may occur.
Many Delaware local governments have established a vision for mixed-use development within their
Comprehensive Plans or updates to plans. The City of Newark, Delaware‘s 2014 comprehensive plan
update utilizes visioning to provide a clearer picture of the objectives the City wishes to achieve. The
vision process utilized a structured planning approach to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) in the community. Newark‘s vision reflects three principle values
that mirror Complete Community elements: 1) a healthy and active community, 2) a sustainable
community, and 3) an inclusive community. Mixed-use development supports all each of these values.
Support for this vision is further detailed in the plans‘ economic development and land development
chapters.
The 2010 Comprehensive Plan update for Town of Elsmere, Delaware recommends zoning code
amendments to ―encourage redevelopment activities, including the conversion of the Kirkwood
Highway into a Main Street by allowing for mixed land uses.‖
The Town of Middletown, Delaware‘s 2012 comprehensive plan update recommends a change to the
2005 plan, which designated a number of parcels as commercial. The plan recommends mixed use to
―provide flexibility so that the market can dictate the best combination of uses for these parcels. This
designation is also applied to parcels that have been approved for, or are developing as, mixed-use
communities.‖ The comprehensive plan also states that the all residential districts and the C-2 and C-3
Zones would be consistent with the ―Mixed Use‖ designation. The C-2 and C-3 zones provide
flexibility for mixing residential and commercial land uses and applying contemporary planning
principles to new development plans. Examples of areas where this approach was applied include
undeveloped areas in Westown master planned area and the downtown commercial area.
Planners with the University of Delaware‘s Institute for Public Administration assisted the Town of
Middletown, Del. in incorporating mixed-use land use designations into their recently updated
Comprehensive Plan. The orange areas on the map indicate mixed-use classifications.
Community visioning exercises can also build community consensus for future land use and
development. Through a charrette process, the City of Dover and Dover Downtown Partnership created
a Dover Transit Center Neighborhood Plan that discussed the desire for mixed-use development in
downtown Dover.
Zoning
Zoning the chief means of implementing a comprehensive plan, consisting of a written document and a
map. It is a legal device that establishes zoning laws, establishes districts, and regulates:
Once a jurisdiction updates or amends its comprehensive plan to provide a vision for mixed-use
development, the zoning code and official map should be amended within 18 months, as per state law.
Mixed-use zoning can be accomplished in two ways: 1) modifying existing zoning district designations
to loosen allowable development under each or 2) creating new districts specifically designated to be
for mixed-use development.
1. Petronas Towers
The Petronas Towers are twin skyscrapers found in Malaysia which are connected with a bridge which
is 170 m above the ground, which is the highest sky bridge in the world.
The Leonardo was designed by AMA Architects currently the tallest building in Africa standing at 234
metres in height. The mega structure contains 55 mixed used floors which includes an above ground
podium, where a swimming pool and restaurant lies.
4. Linked Hybrid
Designed to perform multiple functions, the Linked Hybrid consists of 8 linked towers which gives
access to apartments, a hotel, a cinema and much more. The modern contemporary style worked well
and the use of multiple colours gives the building some life.

The building will use a selection of luxury branded home furnishings for its amenities and
common areas, and these will be showcased in Manila in early 2012 when Century Properties opens the
Trump Tower Manila showrooms at The Pacific Star Building in Makati. Rising as one of the
Philippines‘ tallest skyscrapers at 250 meters (820 feet), the building‘s design was carefully studied to
ensure utmost structural integrity. Century Properties‘ engineering team incorporated structural
adaptations into the design that will address high wind loads. It will also apply Performance-based
Design that meets and exceeds different levels and ranges of seismic performance for super high rise
buildings around the world.

SKETCHES / DESIGN CONCEPT
The design concept of the projects hinges on the synergy of its core responsibilities. These 4
components are RETAIL, OFFICE, RESIDENTIAL and RECREATIONAL. The concept is to
exude a sense of "openness" for its users/tenants. By applying green wall elements and plant boxes
with varying lengths at different angles, the structure appears to be less dense. With the aid of a
progressive vertical element in design, decks are therefore created for the users to enjoy, while still
maintaining a density that is both friendly and efficient.
