28 <br />DOWNTOWN <br />King to Lowell <br />Key Outcomes <br />• Medium-to-high density housing, with active ground floor uses along Main Street, along the northern half of the block. <br />• Townhomes or similar owner-occupied housing along the southwest quadrant of the block, leveraging views of the river. <br />• A modest or boutique hotel along King Avenue NW, connecting Main Street to the Riverfront, leveraging views and access of the river. <br />• As development along the riverfront occurs, portions of land along the river is transitioned to public riverfront park space, with trails connecting Rivers Edge Commons to Bailey Point Nature Preserve <br />On the southwest edge of downtown, <br />the “King to Lowell” block offers <br />long-term, opportunity-driven <br />redevelopment potential to extend <br />the active frontage of downtown <br />while further activating the river. <br />The block is anchored by a funeral <br />home that sits on the east half of <br />the block. If it were to relocate in <br />the future, that site could become <br />a significant redevelopment <br />opportunity in that the property <br />spans Main Street to the River. <br />A redevelopment could include <br />a large mixed use project with <br />active street frontage, or a modest <br />boutique hotel. Adding a hotel <br />downtown would further establish <br />downtown as a destination. <br />Elsewhere on the block, larger <br />commercial or residential <br />development should line Main <br />Street, whereas town homes or <br />small apartment housing could <br />line the riverfront to the south. <br />Redevelopment of the block should <br />include extending the riverfront park <br />west to at least Lowell Ave / Angel St. <br />Structured or interior surface parking <br />would likely be required, but could <br />service the needs of the entire block <br />if designed well. <br />2 <br />3 <br />1 <br />4 <br />1 <br />Mixed-use buildings along Main St <br />and Lowell Ave, with active ground <br />floor on Main St, and office or <br />residential above ground <br />2 Boutique hotel with views to <br />the River <br />3 Expanded public park <br />4 Housing fronting the riverfront <br />park <br />Stillwater’s Hotel Crosby.
