, , ~ I ~ ~ 2. Without including Veterans Park, Parcel B (SE quadrant of the intersection of 10th Street and 5th Avenue) is too small to accommodate the community center as proposed by the development team. Parcel B should be the site for a neighborhood convenience retail or service facilities. Development on this site should be carefully designed to be compatible with Veterans Park to the south, the Golden Pond housing project tot he east, and the Highway 8 Greenway. 3. Parcel C (the NE quadrant of the intersection of 10th Street and 5th Avenue) should be the site for the community center facility with on-site parking. The facility should incorporate a food service operation which would serve both users of the community center and downtown residents and businesses. If possible, the community center should be sited and designed so that another use (such as a commercial office building, etc.) may also be developed on the property and integrated with the community center. 4. To end the uncertainty for downtown businesses, residents, and property owners, the City should adopt the Laukka plan for downtown with the modification described above and immediately begin to acquire those properties from owners in the downtown area that are interested in selling their property to the City. ,; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of New Brighton that: 1. The downtown land use plan proposed by the Laukka development team be adopted with the modifications proposed by the Economic Development Commission. Specifically, Parcel A should be designated for moderate to high density housing; Parcel B should be designated for commercial retail or service facilities designed carefully to be compatible with Veterans Park, the Golden Pond Senior Housing project, and Parcel C should be the site for the community center and additional high quality commercial development to the extent possible. Ii 2. City staff is directed to negotiate with Laukka to try to develop an agreement for the redevelopment of Parcel A with housing as proposed. If economically feasible, the apartment buildings in the southwest corner should be incorporated in Parcel A and included in the redevelopment project. If an acceptable development agreement cannot be negotiated for Parcel A, staff should pursue other residential developers to undertake this component of the downtown project. It is desired that a development agreement for the redevelopment of Parcel A be brought for City Council approval by December 31, 1990. ~ : " ;l I' 2 ., ,
