Arts District / Subarea B • 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 10

Arts District / Subarea B • 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 11

Arts Encouraged Where? • Area shaded purple – where existing uses are to be preserved and arts-oriented uses are to be encouraged 12

2-Block Area 3700 4MR Dr.: Site for Community Facility / Open Space Future Open Space on Old Signature Theater and Warehouse sites 13

2-Block Area • 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 14

2-Block Area 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 15

Parking / Road Diet • 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? 16

4MR Drive Concept 17

Revised Concept – Subarea C/D Lomax AME (Historic) • 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 20
