Storefront Improvement Program Recommendaons Intent: Re-structure West Broadway’s storefront improvement program with markeng incenves, design advice, funding matching and improved program administraon in order to encourage businesses / owners to take pride and invest in façade enhancements that improve the street character and provide a welcoming environment to work, shop and live. Recommendaons:

• 1. Markeng Incenves

Promote program through website and newsleer; publish previous successes with before and aer

• pictures.

Provide recognion to businesses already contribung to character of neighbourhood through good design.

• Instute grant recognion program (such as program sckers from storefront doors) for businesses to
• recognize West Broadway BIZ contribuon.

Recognize grant awardees at AGM or separate recepon.

• Encourage businesses to apply for other awards such as Commerce Design Winnipeg contest through
• Chamber of Commerce Winnipeg
• 2. Design Advice

Engage local architects from BIZ membership on retainer to provide design assistance or advice to help

• prepare grant applicaon. BIZ to provide cost of 2-3 hours of me.
• 3. Funding Matching

Increase the amount of money available to a maximum $5000 for matching contribuons.

• Establish an annual budget ($5,000 - $15,000).
• 4. Program Administraon

Name program coordinator within BIZ to administer program, answer quesons, promote awareness of

• grant and assist businesses with applicaon.

Set grant applicaon deadline for each calendar year.

• Improve markeng for grant applicaon such as pamphlet with promoons, outline benefits, how program
• works etc. Use graphics, before and aer pictures of previous recipients.

Instute grant requirement for building to be at least five years old to be eligible for grant.

• 37 -

Façade Enhancement Examples: Main public entrance facing the main street or directly accessible from public sidewalk

• Add façade arculaon to visually interrupt long façades such as projecons, recesses, awnings, windows, building entries,
• seang and planters

High quality design of canopy and building signage

• Increased building transparency, such as addion of display windows, to provide visual interest to pedestrian environment
• Seang and planters in setback zones
• Fencing and hedges to buffer parking lots
• Façade accent lighng
• Execuve Summary of Best Pracces

Similar grant programs were reviewed from Edmonton, Alberta; Toronto, Ontario; Portland, Oregon; Minneapolis, Minnesota; San Diego, California and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Design Guides from Edmonton and Minneapolis are provided in the Appendix. The following is a summary of some of the best pracces from these other communies: Several cies have developed design guides to assist businesses with improvements.

• The best design guides use a significant amount of graphics.
• Matching grants were available from $5000 to $60,000 in each community.
• Most communies have a maximum amount of funding established for each year.
• Grant programs recognized that buildings located on a corner have two façades to do improvements on. Corner buildings
• eligible for addional funds beyond the program maximum.

Pre-qualified architects were held on retainer to provide design assistance to qualifying businesses.

• Websites for grant programs recognized past winners as well as providing before and aer pictures.
• Grant awardees recognized contribuons through signage placed in windows.
• Grant programs had staff person dedicated for answering quesons and providing assistance with applicaon process.
• Most grant programs define what work is eligible (i.e. new signage, exterior painng or new awnings) and what work is not
• (i.e. security bars, roof structural work, interior window coverings).

Programs set condions on award, including maintaining improvements for at least five years.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY

• 40 -

The West Broadway BIZ Master Plan provides a vision for the two commercial streets, Broadway and Sherbrook St.. Recommen- daons from the plan include improvements to the streetscape and to the surrounding built environment. This includes areas within the right-of-way (road, sidewalks and boulevard) but also the private property/buildings abung the streets. While the area within the right-of-way is under the complete control of the City of Winnipeg, private property is largely controlled by the property owners with the excepon of the requirements and parameters established by zoning. With the intent of promong a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, and aracve streetscape, such zoning regulaons may/ may not provide enough detail to dictate the physical form and sing of future buildings to be consistent with the recommendaons detailed in the Master Plan. Currently, under The City of Winnipeg Charter there is a statutory provision called Planned Development Overlay (PDO) zon- ing districts. The purpose of PDOs is to provide a tool which city planners can use to develop prescripve zoning regulaons to shape the form and character of future development abung Broadway and Sherbrook St. to be consistent with the direcon established in the Master Plan. Examples of elements from the Master Plan which could be regulated through a PDO include: Height restricons or setback from façade requirements for building over certain height

• Length of building facades;
• Façade arculaon (ie. longer than 30’ requires architectural features such as projecons / recesses, to visually interrupt
• façade);

Main public entrance facing main street or directly accessible from public sidewalk;

• Requirements for windows or building transparency (ie. percentage of street level façade made of transparent materials);
• Façade design (ie. must include 3 of the following : canopy/ arcade/ roof arculaon/ pao/ display window/ planters/ wing
• wall/ landscape/ seang areas).

Currently, Broadway and Sherbrook St. are subject to an exisng PDO (called PDO-1 Neighbourhood Main Street).

Opons for Planned Development Overlay Zoning District Implementaon

• 41 -

This same PDO is also in effect over secons of neighbourhood streets such as Osborne St., Selkirk Ave., Corydon Ave., and Ellice Ave. This PDO provides very limited direcon and regulaons and does not capitalize on the full power and potenal of the PDO tool (see aached for copy of the by-law). In contrast, streets such as Provencher Blvd., Academy Rd. and Pembina Hwy. (through St. Norbert) each have street specific PDOs which provide zoning regulaons and standards specific to the street but also reflecng the unique identy of the surrounding neighbourhood. The City of Winnipeg is currently conducng a review of the City’s zoning by-law. As part of this review, the City may be revising PDO-1 Neighbourhood Main Streets. Currently, there is no meline or funding commied to this project and no indicaon of when or if it will occur. For consideraon and to help realize the direcon provided by the Master Plan, we propose the following opons: Opon 1 (City Wide PDO) The BIZ should monitor and become involved in the planned revisions to PDO-1 Neighbourhood Main Streets. We recommend the BIZ to dis- cuss with the area Councillor and highlight the need for addional detail and regulaons for future development. Again, there is no meline

• r funding for this project and it may take several years to be completed.

Opon 2 (Street Specific PDO) Just as streets like Academy Rd. have done, a site specific PDO could be developed for Broadway and Sherbrook St. This project would be much smaller than the City-wide revision to PDO-1 Neighbourhood Main Streets, and as a result, potenally implemented much quicker. Again, for this opon we recommend the BIZ discusses with the area Councillor for consideraon and support.
