■ <br />■ <br />rape 5 <br />The City supports, and has performed a preliminary evaluation of a range of development scenarios <br />at this location ranging from 5- stories to 10- stories (175 feet) in height. Irrespective of the ultimate <br />project size, the City has developed a number of goals and expectations for the development which <br />have been evaluated for feasibility by several outside sources including the Urban Land Institute <br />and Kosmont Companies. Additionally, the City has worked with John Kaliski Architects to develop <br />architectural models and renderings which represent realistic potential development scenarios <br />including floor plans, unit sizes /count, required amenities and building infrastructure components. <br />Ultimately, the City hopes proposed developments will be able to achieve the following design <br />components: <br />1. The City will consider innovative parking <br />strategies that provide for shared use between <br />the public parking and the parking required for <br />the mixed -use development. Options include <br />provision of City financed subterranean <br />parking spaces and adequate bicycle parking. <br />2. Any proposed development must reconnect <br />Sycamore Street between 3rd Street and 4th <br />Street for both vehicle and pedestrian access. <br />5 -story scena rlo - John Kahsld Architects <br />3. The development must exemplify exceptional architecture and sustainable design and <br />construction, generate street -level activity and provide visual interest. <br />4. Uses should complement recent commercial /retail innovations. Potential uses identified by the <br />City Council Development and Transportation Committee include: <br />9 <br />b. <br />C. <br />Retail experience centers, restaurants or other food related uses (food hall) favoring <br />local /artisanal operators over national tenants. The development must also meet the <br />concepts and standards identified in the Transit Zoning Code. <br />Residential or creative office on upper floors. <br />Hotel with live entertainment and opportunities for community benefits, including <br />incorporation of an arts and cultural <br />conference center. <br />10 -story scenario -John Kkiskl Architects <br />Request for Qualifications <br />5.
