ACTION ITEM 4: FOCUS DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES IN THREE PLACES
PEEBLES CORNER 2-5 YEARS
The Curtis Blocks On what was initially temporary surface parking lots, a mix of market-rate for sale and multi-family rental may flank St. James Avenue. The former garage space may be used for a retail, office or light manufacturing space. The former automotive repair shop at the southwest corner of Gilbert and Curtis is an ideal location for a bar and/ or food service that utilizes the front setback along Gilbert for a large patio or entertaining space.
++
Public Parking Garage Increased development of both historic buildings and former parking lots may require a mid-size public parking garage on the northern half of the Kroger lot. This garage will serve existing and future district commercial needs but may also serve future residential development on the Kroger site or for the Alexandra.
++
Firehouse Row Phase II A second side of Green Man Park will be developed in the completion of Firehouse Row. This mixed-use, mixed-income development transitions in scale from five stories along McMillan to three stories along Stanton and Hemlock. Options exist to retain the daycare and corner store or to include them in the redevelopment.

When Paramount Square is completed, a significant piece of Peebles Corner will have been revitalized. New residents, companies, and retailers will drive additional development activity as other investment will be attracted to the energy and market created by the earlier work. Key initiatives for years 2 to 5 include:
