Hayman Corridor redevelopment advances as team and city discuss Scott Street, culvert and transit links
Summary
Planning staff and the developer discussed a large Hayman Corridor redevelopment that includes multifamily buildings, a parking garage and a proposed Scott Street extension and box‑culvert relocation; the committee approved the plan with standard conditions and requested further coordination on right‑of‑way, stormwater and transit facilities.
The committee reviewed MJDP 2629, a large redevelopment proposed by J Forbing & Sons for the Hayman corridor that would replace light industrial parcels with multifamily buildings, parking facilities and public‑realm improvements including a proposed Scott Street extension and a relocated box culvert.
Staff identified numerous technical items that remain to be addressed before final certification: pedestrian and vehicular entrances, interior landscaping and tree canopy in vehicular use areas, termination/continuity of adjacent streets (Hayman, Lower Street), box culvert sizing and phasing for culvert relocation, stormwater management capacity and ownership, bicycle parking allocation and sanitary sewer capacity analysis.
Vision Engineering and the applicant said they have coordinated with the city’s Scott Street design team and will reserve right‑of‑way and provide phasing and additional engineering exhibits. They described proposed pedestrian bridges between buildings and a regional parking strategy that relies on connected pedestrian crossings rather than direct vehicle access to every building. City staff warned about long‑term roadway network effects: if Scott Street is built in an elevated alignment, future right‑of‑way and building setbacks may need additional adjustments and construction easements; staff asked the applicant to work with the city’s design team to ensure future operations and turnarounds are feasible.
On trash, utilities and dumpster location, the applicant said details will be included in future submittals (dumpster enclosures and compactor details). On transit, the applicant said they will coordinate with LexTran on potential bus stop siting.
The committee recommended approval with the usual department sign‑offs and with a requirement that the applicants provide sanitary sewer capacity confirmation, pedestrian connectivity details, and box‑culvert sizing/relocation plans. Staff and applicant agreed to continue coordination on Scott Street alignment and phasing prior to DP certification.
