Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Process • Identify framework for analysis of Demonstration Area. • Analyze Discovery Triangle for important redevelopment features. • Utilize existing research from Discovery Triangle / CBRE asset inventory. • Create “Character Districts” throughout the Triangle that are loosely based on visual identification of similar land uses and natural geographical features. • Analyze circulation, transportation, amenities, suitability, etc. throughout the Triangle.

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Process (continued) • Identify a smaller sub-area of Discovery Triangle to use for Demonstration Area. • Identify boundaries of Demonstration Area. • Choose case study site(s) within Demonstration Area to use for sample development analysis. • Identify that analysis will be based on a large percentage of assumptions. • Create potential development options for site(s). • Hold charette with other Expert Groups and stakeholders to evaluate options. • Analyze charette results and modify accordingly.

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Process (continued) • Request information from other Expert Groups regarding opportunities and constraints pertaining to case study options specific to that Group’s mission statement and goals. • Finalize land use model to determine the number of jobs created by the case studies, residential units, and commercial intensity. • Integrate other Expert Groups’ information into analysis. • Briefly analyze whether case studies meet Discovery Triangle metrics for successful revitalization of Triangle. • Finalize case study. • Prepare brief outline explaining Demonstration Area.

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Result - Case Study Entitlement Options • Current zoning district • Current General Plan designation • Proposed zoning scheme • Options available under current zoning code/General Plan • Potential zoning code and/or General Plan amendments

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Zoning Entitlements • Existing: • Current General Plan Proposed Land Use Map Designation: Mixed-Use • Current General Plan Proposed Residential Density Map Designation: High Density >25 dua • Current Zoning on Property: GID (General Industrial District)

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Zoning Entitlements • Required: • General Plan Proposed Land Use Map Designation: Mixed-Use • General Plan Proposed Residential Density Map Designation: High Density >25 dua • Zoning: MU-4 PAD (Mixed-Use, High Density District - Planned Area Development)

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Zoning Entitlements • Applications Required: • Rezoning (zoning map amendment) from GID to MU-4. • Planned Area Development (PAD) - to set development standards. • Development Plan Review (DPR) - for building, landscape and site layout. • Preliminary & Final Re-Plat - if necessary to amend existing plat.

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Zoning Entitlements • Process Required: • Site Plan Review (pre-application process) • Staff review and comment • Final Application creation (rezoning, PAD, DPR, & Plat) • Final Application filing (rezoning, PAD, DPR, & Plat) • Staff review and comment • Application routing (rezoning, PAD, DPR, & Plat) • Hearing schedule proposed • Neighborhood meeting

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Zoning Entitlements • Process Required (continued): • Staff Report created (includes city staff recommendation and possible conditions of approval) • Development Review Commission hearing (Planning Commission - recommendation to City Council) • City Council Introduction hearing (introduction only - no decision made) • City Council Final hearing (final decision on rezoning, PAD, DPR, & Plat) • Plat recordation

Demonstration Area Case Study as Envisioned by Development/Planning Expert Group • Conclusion – Moving Forward • Analyze results of case study schemes. • Application of case study schemes to larger Land Use Model for entire Discovery Triangle. • Determine land use intensity and density, land use balance, public facilities thresholds and targets. • Refinement of Character Areas to express the Triangle’s vision. • Define target and priority areas. • Develop suitability, stake holder attitudes, land assemblage and redevelopment potential. • Clearly articulate a vision for the future of the Discovery Triangle.
