What the Community Said

Varying Opinions

  • Parking
  • Replacement parking only (339 spaces)

Lessons Learned

  • Site can accommodate variety of uses, catalytic

site, opportunity for vibrancy and northern anchor

  • Flexible outdoor open space: a community benefit

to nurture the opportunity for locals to gather

  • Height exceptions with great architecture

allow for increased open space

  • Community benefits can be achieved with right

development configuration

Lessons Learned

  • Community would not support above grade parking
  • Subterranean Parking is expensive but desired/needed in

appropriate amount: $38k - $56k per space; $21k for automated long term parking

  • Shared parking provides

efficiencies and flexibility

slide-39

Lessons Learned

Uses with special needs

  • “Value oriented retail” – concerns about compatibility with many

uses

  • Residential - requires dedicated parking making shared parking

less efficient

Benefits by use

  • Retail / Restaurant = sales tax, employment, contributes to overall

Downtown vibrancy

  • Hotel = employment, TOT revenue, supports restaurants & retail
  • Office = employment, higher paying jobs, business retention,

business taxes, supports Downtown restaurants & retail, supports jobs/ housing balance and trip reductions goals

  • Residential = 24/7 vibrancy, trip reduction, opportunities for stable

residential base
