Financial Feasibility Issues:
Density, Parking, and
Construction Cost
27
Retail/Restaurant
  • New ground-floor uses along Front, Main, and near Civic Center

    and hotel uses will expand retail base
28
Retail Design Issues in
Mixed-Use Buildings
  • Frontage and visibility
  • Configuration:  height and depth

  • Deliveries
  • Utility locations


29
Flex Space and Shopkeeper Units – A Solution?
30
Office Space
  • Existing uses largely rely on street parking and public lots
  • Larger office buildings will likely require dedicated parking
  • 3- and 4-story buildings less feasible in near-term due to high cost of on-site parking
31
Hotel
  • Typical configuration for a conference hotel:
    • Mid-rise building
    • Large floorplate for meeting rooms
    • High parking requirement
  • Comparable developments
    have received $ public
    financial assistance
  • Benefits:
    • Stimulates retail/restaurant sales
    • TOT to City
32
Residential
  • Housing (esp. for-sale) requires exclusive parking
  • Structured parking is not financially feasible in near-term
  • Most feasible solution is tuck-under parking
    • 3-story townhomes
    • Opportunities east of Mercedes St.
  • Housing with wrap parking can
    be configured on larger sites
  • Long-term potential:  3-4 story wood-frame condominiums and apartments over/adj. to parking
