(Page 8 Design and Connecvity Plan). This building and site is a prime example of an underulized and underdeveloped site which makes it a perfect candidate for a Technical Assistance Planning grant. “Encourage buildings of two more stories to increase density” (Page 8 Design and Connecvity Plan). The exisng single level building would be replaced with a mul-story, mixed use building with potenal housing above, which would anchor the exis ng corner. “Provide Mixed Use Development” (Page 11 Design and Connecvity Plan) The proposed new mixed use building would provide commercial acvies and residenal uses which would contribute to making North 7th Avenue its own neighborhood. “The intent of the B-2M community business district—mixed is to funcon as a vibrant mixed-use district that accommodates substanal gro wth and enhances the character of the city.” (Midtown Zoning Text Amendments). With high-density housing and supporve commercial u ses planned within a walkable area to serve the needs of the residents, this property and its proposed redevelopment are consistent with the intent and purpose of the newly created Zoning District. Addionally, the potenal inclusion of offices, small scale retail and restaurants further the overall goals of the district and endeavor to create a sense of vitality and community. 4) An esmated meline indicang benchmarks for compleng technical evaluaon, beginning the project and compleng the project.
