Zoning PurposeFloor Area Ration (FAR)What is FAR?FAR is an acronym for Floor Area Ratio. FAR is therelationship between the amount of usable floor areathat a building has and the total area of the lot onwhich the building stands.FAR 1.0Lot 100 ft x 100 ft 10,000 sf1.0 FAR x 10,000 sf lot 10,000 sf buildingCovering 100% of lotFAR 1.0Lot 100 ft x 100 ft 10,000 sf1.0 FAR x 10,000 sf lot 10,000 sf buildingCovering 50% of lotFAR 1.0Lot 100 ft x 100 ft 10,000 sf1.0 FAR x 10,000 sf lot 10,000 sf buildingCovering 25% of lot11

West Loop Design GuidelinesWhat have we heard to date?Community Workshop Key Themes Strong desire to further explore and define design excellence in relationto architecture and community character through a design approvalcommittee or other formal process for reviewing project proposals. The community sees the following design interventions as priorities forfuture development: Pedestrian safety Concern that new developments lack architectural diversity and that thecharacter of the neighborhood might get lost. Publicly accessible open space, especially in commercial corridors andalong Randolph Avenue Some support new residential development north of Lake Street. Enhanced landscapes within the public right-of-way (e.g. planters,median planting, etc.) While some participants are comfortable with increased density, thereis significant concern about building height impacts on viewshed, solaraccess, and (in particular) retaining the existing architectural character ofthe West Loop. Lighting for pedestrians and vehicles Opportunities to integrate public art (e.g. murals, sculptures, waterfeatures, etc.)27

West Loop Design GuidelinesUrban Design PrinciplesBuilding Design Encourage taller, thinner buildings with substantial setbacks Orient the longest building facades and/or concentrate height along wider streetsBase Design Buidling bases shouuld be mindful of existing context, particularly at infill sites Provide seamless or gradual transition in bulk and scale near areas with lower-scale and character buildings - including those in the LandmarkDistricts Reinforce desirable urban features found within the surrounding area such as siting patterns, massing arrangements and streetscape characteristics.Commercial Uses Buildings for commercial uses that require large floor plates should respect the mass, scale and architectural character of adjacent buildings.35

power system: the automatic load frequency control loop (ALFC) and the automatic voltage control loop (AVR). There is little interaction from the ALFC loop to the AVR loop but the AVR loop does affect the ALFC loop to a certain extent. The AVR loop tends to be much faster than the ALFC loop with time constants of much less than one second.
The Do-While and For loop structures are pretest loops. In a posttest loop, the condition is evaluated at the end of the repeating section of code. This is also called an exit-controlled loop. The Do/Loop Until construct is a posttest loop. Do While Loop The while loop allows you to di
while loop Format: while condition: loop body loop body 18 one or more instructions to be repeated condition loop body false true After the loop condition becomes false during the loop body, the loop body still runs to completion (before its check before the next turn) and exit the loop and go on with the next step.
K. Webb ESE 499 15 Open-Loop Frequency Response & Stability Open-loop Bode plot can be used to assess stability But, we need to know if system is closed-loop stable for low gain or high gain Here, we'll assume open-loop-stable systems Closed-loop stable for low gain Open-loop Bode plot can tell us: Is a system closed-loop stable? If so, how stable?
2. The Loop Dashboard Use the Loop Dashboard to visualize the performance of any individual control loop in detail over a specified time period. This helps in assessing control loop performance and diagnosing potential causes of suboptimal performance. Consult the Loop Dashboard section of this documentation for details. 3. Loop KPI Analysis
