The site that we are using for our capstone project is located in Newport Kentucky at the banks of the Ohio and Licking rivers. The space is prime real estate with great views of the city of Cincinnati, the Ohio river, and all of it's surrounding areas. The diagram below shows the zoning map for Newport, KY.
This Zoning map can be found at http://www.newportky.gov/PDF_Files/Proposed_Zoning_9-8-08.pdf?secid=1023 which is Newport, KY. zoning website. As you can see in the diagram above, our lot is zoned as R-4, which is 2, 3, 4, and multi-family residential.
The map located below shows more environmental conditions, including sun path, wind path, and sound. As you can see in the diagram the shadows from the building will go away from the rivers. The wind generally comes in from the west, and follows along the path of the Ohio river shown in the diagram. The Ohio and Licking rivers will act as a natural barrier to the north and the west for sound.
This diagram of the sun path was generated using the website http://suncalc.net
