Plan Evolution: Based on Task Force and Public Input
1. Respect adjacent neighborhoods by mirroring existing land uses
2. Provide library parking
3. Turn 1st Avenue into a residential street
4. Create usable open space
5. Provide a community facility, park, and plaza
6. Curve Lowry Blvd.
7. Establish a Townhome District on Lowry Blvd.
8. Distribute traffic to minimize effects on individual streets
9. Structured parking is preferable to surface parking, particularly on the edges of the site
10. Housing above retail provides opportunity to capture views, overlook park, and give life to parks
11. Remove Building 444 (DFAS Building)
12. Modify the street grid to make more interesting places and experiences
13. Maintain a 35’ Monaco setback
14. Maintain a 35’ Quebec setback
15. Revise retail location and amount on western side
16. Locate community park away from Crestmoor Park and near Park Heights neighborhood
17. Commercial uses should primarily front Lowry Boulevard
18. Locate formerly homeless housing away from the existing affordable First Avenue Townhomes
19. Provide a Park Heights landscape buffer
20. Preserve the western stormwater basin
21. Orient blocks for optimal solar orientation
22. Enhance options for residents, neighbors, and small business owners by providing additional retail choices
23. Front Quebec Street with single family attached residential
24. Reconfigure Poplar Street connection
25. Locate taller buildings internal to the site and build height toward Lowry Blvd.
26. Remove the northbound right turn-lane from Monaco Parkway onto 1st Ave to reduce traffic on 1st Ave
27. Investigate the preservation of the 1st Ave berms
28. Identify trees to save in-place and transplant through a tree survey
29. Provide a right-in, right-out intersection at Quebec St. and E. Archer Place
30. Building height should be no taller than the Hangar with four total buildings having a 7
story maximum and two total buildings having a 6 story maximum. Create a maximum
65-foot height limit for select areas of the site and two- to three- story limits for the rest
of the site. If the future developer desires to build higher than 65 feet, the
redevelopment plan requires the developer to engage in a community-based public
process to justify the need for taller buildings.
31. Allow no more than 800 residential units (reduced from 1200 units)
