12/14/2010 Waterfront Plan Community Meeting 20

  • The land adjacent to the water is for people, not cars.
  • Do not build new spaces until all existing spaces are

used.

  • Protect nearby neighborhoods from excessive parking

impacts from Waterfront visitors.

  • Move some uses closer to existing parking.
  • Parking for certain waterfront uses – cultural, retail

and restaurant locations – should be nearby.

  • New hotel, office and residential uses should provide

parking on-site.

Redevelopment principles

  • Follow historic development pattern and evoke history

in the architecture

  • Emphasize neighborhood compatibility in design , land

sues, and parking

  • Maintain 50 foot height limit; parking on-site.
  • New development must contribute to public benefits

(parks, piers, walkways, restoration of historic buildings, etc).

  • Along the water and facing parks: encourage uses that

welcome the public.
