Update on Refined Concept Option fox Downtown North of Hwy 10 January 3, 2005 HIZA Meeting Page 2 of 2 He indicated that both 6`h and 7``' Streets will be redone in conjunction with the Street Rehabilitation Program in 2007. Status of Arrow Building Center Site Staff recently spoke with the president of Arrow Building Center, David Majeski, regarding the status of the Arrow Building Center site. Mr. Majeski indicated that the property is for sale and that he has received two inquiries for retail/housing projects. He is not interested in leasing the property. Parking Requirements for West Side of Irving Avenue The concept option indicates both mixed use and single family rehabilitation west of Irving Avenue. As indicated in the attached Section 30-903, Minimum Number of Parking Spaces, of Chapter 30 of the City Code, the following is a summary of what would be required for parking in the area: • multi-family dwellings require 2.5 parking spaces per unit • single-family dwellings require one enclosed parking space plus two off-street spaces • office buildings require one parking space for each 300 square feet of floor area • retail stores require one parking space for each 200 square feet of floor area Staff discussed the issue with the Director of Planning, Michele McPherson, and she indicated that in all likelihood, the mixed use area would require a combination of underground and surface parking. The underground parking would serve both retail/office and residential tenants while surface parking would be required since parking is not allowed on Jackson Avenue. If on-street parking were allowed on Jackson Avenue, it could serve as customer parking. Any redevelopment proposal would require careful analysis to ensure adequate area for parking. Next Step Unless otherwise directed by the HRA, staff will utilize the concept option when responding to redevelopment proposals and inquiries from the private sector. In addition, staff will continue to monitor the area and update the HRA as needed.
