[OldNorth] Fwd: B Street email mailing

[sheryl lynn gerety]

ON Residents:
	The choice between these two options will set important precedents in 
the development of downtown Davis.  I hope you will read Worley's 
e-mail, follow-up with the links to the document, and then express your 
opinion in writing and, as various meetings are held, in person.
	I believe the B St proposal will go first to the Historic Resources 
Management Commission, in a meeting this coming Monday.  The agenda is 
not yet posted, but I will send it as a follow-up when I have it.
	Best to all of you,
		Bruce

> Thank you to all who have attended or expressed interest in the B  and
> 3rd Streets Visioning Process.  As many of you know community workshops
> were held in October and December to solicit community input on a range
> of redevelopment options for the west portion of B Street between 2nd
> and 4th Streets and the portion of 3rd Street between University Avenue
> and B Street.  The purpose of the workshops was to develop a shared
> vision that could guide future investment opportunities in a manner 
> that
> enhances the neighborhood and community.
>
> A Planning Options Summary Report has now  been prepared that presents
> two neighborhood design patterns for infill development. These
> alternatives attempt to respond to and reflect the range of comments
> raised during the two community workshops and will be considered by the
> City Council in determining desired changes in development guidelines
> for this area.  As the options are refined it is possible that elements
> of each may be incorporated into a final preferred alternative.
>
> Option A - Traditional Pattern - develops within the traditional
> neighborhood yard and setback patterns. Allows new three-story attached
> homes and small lot single family on B Street, accessory dwelling units
> over garages along the alleys, and some additional mixed use along 3rd
> Street. Existing Historic buildings and the structures on the corners 
> of
> B and 3rd would be retained.
>
> Option B - New Development Pattern - allows a greater increase in
> infill housing and retains a front yard set back pattern for 
> residential
> uses on B Street. It would allow development of new three-story
> rowhousing on B Street and alley townhouses with parking courts 
> accessed
> from alleys. Existing historic buildings would be retained. The corners
> of 3rd and B would be redeveloped with mixed-use.
