What the Community Said Varying Opinions

Desire for value-oriented retail
Local-serving uses that appeal to families and
people of all ages

4th/5th & ARIZONA Downtown 37 Lessons Learned
Site can accommodate variety of uses, catalytic
site, opportunity for vibrancy and northern anchor
Flexible outdoor open space: a community benefit
to nurture the opportunity for locals to gather
Height exceptions with great architecture
allow for increased open space
Community benefits can be achieved with right
development configuration
4th/5th & ARIZONA Downtown 38 Lessons Learned
• Community would not support above grade parking
• Subterranean Parking is expensive but desired/needed in
appropriate amount:
$38k - $56k per space;
$21k for automated long term parking
• Shared parking provides
efficiencies and flexibility
4th/5th & ARIZONA Downtown 39 Lessons Learned
Uses with special needs “Value oriented retail” – concerns about compatibility with many
uses
Residential - requires dedicated parking making shared parking less efficient
Benefits by use Retail / Restaurant = sales tax, employment, contributes to overall
Downtown vibrancy
Hotel = employment, TOT revenue, supports restaurants & retail
Office = employment, higher paying jobs, business retention,
business taxes, supports Downtown restaurants & retail, supports
jobs/ housing balance and trip reductions goals
Residential = 24/7 vibrancy, trip reduction, opportunities for stable
residential base
4th/5th & ARIZONA Downtown 40 Lessons Learned
Planning for circulation and alternative transportation
are critical
Realizing great architecture requires communication
and vision
