Arts District / Subarea B

10

• Staff supports the Arts District idea:
• Work w/ Arts Commission and arts community to

develop a strategy for expanding arts in the study area

• Explore opportunities to expand arts in the area,

including evaluating an Arts District

• Encourage the introduction of arts uses and new retail in

Subarea B; examine Zoning Ordinance

• Look to incorporate temporary and permanent public

art in 4MRV

Arts District / Subarea B

11

• Height – Up to 75’
• Consistent with existing

zoning

• Allows floor height

flexibility

• Form (to be addressed in Area

Plan Urban Design Guidelines)

• Promote adaptive re-

use

• New buildings to be

flexible

• Floor-to-ceiling height
• Openings; elevators

Arts Encouraged Where?

12

• Area shaded purple –

where existing uses are to be preserved and arts-oriented uses are to be encouraged

2-Block Area

13

Future Open Space

• n Old Signature Theater

and Warehouse sites 3700 4MR Dr.: Site for Community Facility / Open Space

2-Block Area

14

• Preserve industrial zoning/uses on private properties
• County properties used as-is for near term
• Over time, convert 3806 4MR Dr. and Oakland St.

warehouses to open space

• No timeline set
• Existing uses would have to be accommodated / relocated first
• Plan a new community facility at 3700 4MR Dr,

incorporating arts and open space/recreation uses

2-Block Area

15

Considerations/ rationale:

• Consistent w/ Public Spaces Master Plan
• Concentrate large capital investment in one location

(instead of 3)

• New park/open spaces
• To be planned later
• Could provide, in addition to recreation:
• Potential locations for public art
• Potential space for public gatherings
• New entry / gateway for dog park

Parking / Road Diet

16

• Goal – increase the supply of parking for public & private uses;

maximizing utilization of on-street resources

• Short-term (this year)
• Complete analysis of area near Jennie Dean Park
• Discuss possible solutions w/ community
• Streamline /simplify regulations
• Relocate commercial vehicle parking/storage
• Promote turnover
• Long-term
• Implement road diet
• Angled parking on south side fronting Jennie Dean Park
• Gain additional space for sidewalks on south side, west of Nelson Street
• Look to modify parking regulations along length of 4MR Dr to increase

supply during the day

• Continue analysis/planning – are there opportunities for sidewalks and

angled parking on north side of 4MR Dr?

4MR Drive Concept

Revised Concept – Subarea C/D

• Builds on / supports Nauck

Revitalization Plan

• Mixed-use
• Would provide larger

development sites for development envisioned in Nauck Plan

• Preserves existing uses for

majority of Subarea D

• Existing GLUP & zoning

unchanged
