Timeline

Public Workshop #1: What We Heard

8

• Improve pedestrian safety
• Slow traffic
• Explore a road diet
• Add bike lanes or routes – but not necessarily
• n State St.
• Make State St. a destination – activate the

street

• Encourage a mix of uses, including housing
• Manage parking

9

Where we are in the process

 Team created land use and street design alternatives for State Street  Here today to get your feedback

Two Mixed-Use Zones

Lower Intensity Mixed-Use (MU-2)

• Mixed-use and multifamily

housing

• Commercial uses
• Shorter buildings (3 stories)
• Medium density
• Pedestrian-oriented design

standards Higher Intensity Mixed Use (MU-1)

• Multi-story mixed-use

(retail on ground floor)

• Commercial uses
• Taller buildings (4 stories)
• High density
• Pedestrian-oriented design

standards

14

Illustrated four ways:

• 1. West End Focus
• 2. West End Nodal Focus with Southern

Addition

• 3. West End Nodal Focus with Eastern

Addition

• 4. Entire Corridor Nodal Focus

West End Focus

Concentrated area of more intense mixed-use development on the west end

• Single mixed-use zone
• Highest intensity

15

12TH St 25TH St 17TH St

16

Lots of windows with no building setback from sidewalk (MU-1) 4-story building with apartments over retail on a corner site (MU-1)

West End Focus

West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition

17

Two concentrated mixed-use centers on the west end with less intense development to the south  Two mixed-use zones  Mixed intensity in nodal pattern

19

Three concentrated mixed-use centers on the west end, and a consistent level of lower-intensity development on the east end  Two mixed-use zones  Entire corridor

12TH St 25TH St 17TH St

20

Vertical and horizontal separation of residential unit with landscaping as soft buffer (MU-2) Flexible ground floor space can house residential or office use (MU-2)

45

The concepts that changed the land use pattern throughout the entire corridor meet the project goals the best.
