20 <br />Uptown Development Guidance <br />• Redevelopment in Uptown should be primarily residential, and allow for a diversity of housing types, scales, ownership, and price points. <br />• Denser development should be located along Railroad drive, and at major intersections. <br />• As feasible, a small or medium grocery or convenience store was seen as a good fit for the Uptown area. <br />• Closing Railroad Drive at Main Street could promote safer circulation at the rail road crossing area, but would require shifting access to Gates Ave. <br />Uptown <br />The steering committee also explored and evaluated a series of redevelopment <br />blocks north of Highway 10 and the BNSF rail line - termed “Uptown” during <br />the planning process. Recognizing the comparatively larger area of potential <br />redevelopment sites, this area was looked at holistically as compared to the <br />site-specific approach to Downtown. <br />In Uptown, the development concept explored: <br />• What an appropriate balance of residential and commercial uses should be, <br />and where each should be located <br />• The types, intensity, and general arrangement of residential uses <br />throughout Uptown <br />• The viability of a grocery or convenience store, and a centralized small <br />commercial “node” at the railroad drive roundabout. <br />Mix of housing types, price points, and ownership, with modest targeted commercial uses. <br />UPTOWN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT <br />CONCEPT EVALUATION <br />Development <br />HW <br />Y <br /> <br />1 <br />0 <br />HW <br />Y <br /> <br />1 <br />0 <br />RAI <br />L <br />R <br />O <br />A <br />D <br /> <br />D <br />R <br />RAI <br />L <br />R <br />O <br />A <br />D <br /> <br />D <br />R <br />MAIN STMAIN STMAIN STMAIN STJACKSON AVEJACKSON AVEGATES AVE GATES AVE Page 90 of 157
