What is the Park East Redevelopment Plan?
Read the plan
Three documents make up the Park East Redevelopment Plan, which
is intended to guide future development of the area in a predictable manner that
optimizes long-term public and private investments.
|
Master Plan |
| |
The Master Plan lays out the overall,
comprehensive vision for future development and was specifically written to
facilitate the decision-making process for land uses, design variances, and
requests for financial assistance. The Plan creates three districts within
the corridor: the Upper Water Street, Lower Water Street and McKinley Avenue
Districts. The intended character by district is based on the existing
marketplace demands for residential, office, retail and entertainment uses.
The Upper Water Street District foresees development that continues
the strong pattern of residential that has flourished to the east, including
higher density residential townhomes, apartments, and
neighborhood-supporting retail on the ground floor. The development will
create an extended downtown residential neighborhood, seamlessly connecting
the Brady Street, Beerline B, and original Park East (Ogden area)
neighborhoods.
The Lower Water Street District includes mixed-activity development
that compliments existing patterns of small-scale entertainment, promotes an
increased level of pedestrian activity, and maximizes use of the riverfront
parcel to create an attractive location for high tech office uses.
The McKinley Avenue District contains large contiguous parcels
suitable for large buildings such as corporate offices and entertainment
venues. The intention of this district is to concentrate corporate offices
to create a daytime population that would support existing entertainment and
restaurant venues. |

Development Code |
| |
The Development Code defines land use and
design standards. The code is form-based and emphasizes the public qualities
of buildings. The standards are graphically expressed and organized in 3
sections: General Rules and Definitions, Regulating Plan, and Block
Development Standards. |

|
Renewal Plan |
| |
The Renewal Plan contains language to satisfy
the technical statutory requirements for redevelopment plans including
project boundaries, a description of the project and a definition of blight.
