Staff presents draft Uptown East redevelopment plan with pedestrian-focused design guidelines
Summary
City staff presented a draft Uptown East redevelopment plan outlining objectives, preferred and prohibited land uses, and design guidelines favoring pedestrian-oriented development; the authority voted to receive and file the draft and begin stakeholder engagement.
City planning staff presented a draft redevelopment plan for Uptown East that lays out objectives (removing environmental deficiencies, acquiring and marketing sites, encouraging rehabilitation) and land-use guidance. The draft prefers owner-occupied single-family and two-family dwellings and allows multi-family and pedestrian-oriented commercial uses while discouraging primary-use parking lots and drive-throughs.
The staff presenter walked members through design objectives that prioritize porches, visible entrances, bay windows, storefront glazing, screening for dumpsters, and placing parking to the side or rear. The authority voted to "receive and file" the draft plan so staff can develop initial redevelopment scenarios, conduct stakeholder and community engagement, and discuss potential building types and developers before the formal approval process.
