SECTION 6: THE PLAN
L. Infill of Vacant/Underdeveloped Properties
LEGEND
Downtown Study Area
Throughout the Plan, there are under-developed sites that could support commercial/office infill in the future. The two lots shown on the plan, the southwest corner of 54th Street and 8th Avenue and the southeast corner of 56th Street and 8th Avenue, would help maintain frontage and pedestrian character along key roadways that support the street car network. While these are not high priority sites, it is envisioned that as momentum builds in the Downtown, these sites would develop through market demand. One way that the City can positively influence this is to provide centralized shared parking. Many of these underdeveloped sites are surface parking lots. With shared parking facilities, these lots would be able to redevelop into other uses.

Another key catalytic site within the Downtown is located between 6th and 7th Avenues, and between 54th and 55th Streets. The site is primarily occupied by City owned parking lots. The other property owner, LaMacchia Travel Agency, is the sole tenant in their building. The site could be developed with or without the LaMacchia parcel. As part of a mixeduse building, the first floor should include retail frontage to span between the north and south commercial sections of 6th. Additionally, this site, with its proximity to the harbor, has the potential to be a more acceptable place for a taller building with either residential or office upper floors – with a maximum of ten stories total. The concept plan shows 12,000 square feet of retail and 100,000 square feet of office supported by 800 spaces of structured parking.
