Resources for Residents
Development Proposal
First submitted in September 2020, and undergoing a number of meaningful revisions based on community and city feedback in the months since, the purpose of this application is two-fold: (1) to save this corner as a commercial retail center and, in doing so, (2) create a vibrant, mixed-use development that embraces the Greenbelt and will be an asset to the City and local community for decades to come. Under the current property layout and the dated retail paradigm the property currently serves, the above stated goal is an impossibility. Quite simply put, the property must update and change, or it will suffer the same sad fate seen by numerous retail centers across the nation that struggle with increasing vacancy or simply “go dark” and await an unknown future.
