REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, INCLUDING REVIEW OF COUNCIL INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. Cindy Gust-Jenson said a formal easement across City property at 3565 South 1300 East was requested. The Council said a hearing was not required. She asked if Council wanted a briefing on the housing report submitted. Council Members said there was interest in holding a briefing. #2. DISCUSSION ON ISSUES AND THE REVITALIZATION OF DOWNTOWN AND MAIN STREET IN SALT LAKE CITY. View Attachment Councilmember Buhler said the Council would be addressing Downtown and Main Street revitalization. He said improved freeways and light rail made downtown easily accessible. He said the Downtown area provided a place to live, work, shop and seek entertainment. He said revenue generated helped support City streets, parks, police and fire protection, and a multitude of other services. He said if this tax base was not promoted and protected, every City resident would feel the effects. Councilmember Buhler said the issue was not Gateway verses Main Street. He said Council supported the Gateway Project. He said Gateway should be considered as an addition to existing businesses. A) RECEIVE A BRIEFING BY COUNCIL STAFF REGARDING PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED PLANS AND POLICES. Russell Weeks, Janice Jardine, and Michael Sears briefed the Council from the attached handout. Mr. Weeks said past studies had the same conclusions. He said redeveloping Downtown would only be successful, if everyone supported a single vision. He said Main Street should remain the paramount commercial and retail Street in the City. He said the south and east ends of downtown should not be overlooked in revitalization plans. Ms. Jardine said the census information provided was from 1960 to 2000. She said areas with the largest population and housing losses were the Central Business District and the west side of down-town. Councilmember Lambert requested that figures for the number of people using the downtown area during the day be provided. Mr. Sears said about $36 million was spent on capital improvements in the Central Business District (CED) between 1984 and 2000. He said roughly of all monies spent on capital improvements were allocated in this area. Councilmember Lambert said parking an issue downtown. Mr. Weeks said several studies suggested a Parking Authority could be established or City owned parking garages could be made available for the public. 02 - 1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2002 Ms. Gust-Jenson said the administration needed to look at possible conflicting policy goals on downtown parking. Councilmember Lambert said the revenue generated by parking meters verses their disadvantages should be reviewed as well. B) RECEIVE A BRIEFING BY THE SALT LAKE CITY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Pat Richards briefed the Council. She said a task force had been created focusing on the revitalization of the CBD. She said the task force had created a vision statement which recognized that a healthy CBD was essential for economic development of the region. She said the Chamber would work to improve the vitality of the business district by identifying barriers to a healthy downtown. She said they would develop and cultivate alliances, support those which helped to improve downtown vitality, and evaluate how to" leverage diversity. A discussion was held following Ms. Richards' comments. The Council requested a written copy of the briefing. C) RECEIVE A BRIEFING BY THE DOWNTOWN ALLIANCE. Cindy Kindred, Prescott Muir, Judy Reese, Kent Gibson, David Bird and Tracy Van Arten briefed the Council. Mr. Muir said Main Street had been misrepresented in the press. He said progress was moving in a positive direction giving the City a good foundation to build upon. He said agreements with the large anchor stores would keep the foundation from floundering. Mr. Gibson said Downtown the area was the employment center of the State. He said about 43% of all office space was in the Downtown core area. He said there were 38 private clubs, over 100 restaurants and visitor market attributed nearly 50% of retail sales. He said in the last five years over $750,000 worth of improvements had been made to and around Main Street. Ms. Reese said the way to attract people was to create and promote exciting things which would distinguish downtown from other areas. She said the City should encourage outdoor dining, art exhibits, monument staging and other public participation activities. She said cooperative advertising would leverage all of downtown's resources. A discussion was held with the Downtown Alliance following Ms. Reese's comments. D) RECEIVE A BRIEFING BY DAVID OKA THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DIRECTOR. David Oka briefed the Council. He said the total amount of loans or contributions made by the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) within the CBD was in excess of $90 million. He said the RDA had recruited real estate agents to solicit renters for Main Street. He said one challenge was the excessive land costs downtown. He said that translated into escalated lease rates compared with the suburbs. He said this affected the affordable housing issue as well. A discussion was held with Mr. Oka following his comments. E) RECEIVE A BRIEFING BY MARGARET HUNT THE COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. Margaret Hunt, Mary Kay Lazarus, David Dobbins and Stephen Goldsmith briefed the Council. Ms. Hunt said future discussions should include input from the Economic Development Corporation of Utah. She said they were involved in business recruitment. She said the 2002 Winter Olympics had brought a greater sense of possibility to Salt Lake City. She said the Olympics brought together the realization and the activities of a shared vision. She said the City recognized the opportunity to keep the spirit alive. Ms. Lazarus said the Committee was comprised of volunteers with extreme talents. She said the goal was to have each event a marketable product, using a win-win approach with merchants. Mr. Goldsmith said the new Rural Urban Design Assistants Team (RUDAT) Study being proposed would continue where the last study had left off. He said it would help identify steps to bring about a cohesive master plan. A discussion was held with Ms. Hunt, Ms. Lazarus, Mr. Dobbins and Mr. Goldsmith following their comments. #3. DISCUSSION REGARDING COUNCIL'S FUTURE COURSE OF ACTION TO FOCUS ON DOWNTOWN SALT LAKE CITY AND MAIN STREET. View Attachment Councilmember Love said future plans and discussion should also include the Trolley Square area. Councilmember Christensen said a public hearing should be scheduled to accept additional input. Councilmember Jergensen said time might not allow everyone interested to speak. He said an e-mail address could be set up to allow everyone an 02 - 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 2002 opportunity to give their opinions. Councilmember Turner said strong leadership would be necessary to pull all entities together and to move in the same direction. He said if activities were downtown, the people and money would follow. Councilmember Buhler said the Olympics had taught residents that ±t was possible to park and walk or take mass transit to a variety of events. Councilmember Buhler said the Nordstrom Department Store' s request to move to the Gateway Center was another concern for downtown. He suggested Council address the issue in a letter or a joint resolution with the administration. #4. COUNCIL WILL ENTER INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS PENDING LITIGATION.

SALT LAKE 1988 R/UDAT WI OUR FUTURE BY DESIGN SALT LAKE CITY AND THE UNINCORPORATED COUNTY In addition to Salt Lake City's government,there are 11 other incorporated cities within the County as well as several large unincorporated communi- ties. Other entities include 12 fire and police departments, 13 redevelop- ment agencies and four school districts.There are 50 separate taxing dis- tricts in the valley. Clearly,this is a very complex governmental structure. GREAT SALT LAKE The Salt Lake City metropolitan area is primarily growing to the south and north, but also is spreading east of the Wasatch mountains into Summit County and Park City. Providing services throughout the metropolitan area is a complex task. As population and development continue to increase,the pressures on govern- mental entities to cooperate similarly increase. r 72 ; �.

It has been said that the reason why no one comes downtown is because there is no parking.There is ample parking but, unlike shopping centers and SALT LAKE CITY METROPOLITAN AREA office complexes in the rest of the metropolitan area,it has to be paid for. R/UDAT 1988 SALT LAKE OUR FUTURE BY DESIGN The team suspects that the real issue is that with 1 s the exodus of merchants and business people, , , I. especially from the south end of the CBD,Salt Lake City has lost the critical mass necessary to a vital downtown.One now finds empty streets ,'I',I''.,,}`r "i'' and sidewalks,an emptiness that further discour- ,4. • ages activity.

The Salt Lake Citizens Congress R/UDAT 1988 SALT LAKE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS INTRODUCTION TO THE REGIONAL/URBAN DESIGN ASSISTANCE TEAM (R/UDAT) PROGRAM What is a regional/urban design assistance team (R/UDAT)? Since 1967, R/UDAT (pronounced ROO-dat) has used a grassroots approach to help create livable communities. The program combines local resources with the expertise of a multidisciplinary team of nationally recognized professionals who volunteer their time to identify ways to encourage desirable change in a community. The team conducts an intensive four-day workshop onsite. The process is fast-paced, exciting, and energizing. This approach—which can address social, economic, political, and physical issues—offers communities a tool that mobilizes local support and fosters new levels of cooperation. The R/UDAT program is offered to communities as a public service of The American Institute of Architects (AIA). The AIA is a professional association representing approximately 50,000 architects and 15,000 related professionals nationally. The R/UDAT Task Group, made up of volunteer AIA members and others with extensive R/UDAT experience, administers the program with assistance from professional staff. What can R/UDAT do for your community? Communities across the country are constantly changing. Some of the challenges they encounter include the loss of major employers, new bypass roads, gridlock, unfocused suburban growth, crime, loss of open space, regional conflict, unaffordable housing, abandoned mills and industrial plants, environmental problems, vacant storefronts, and loss of identity. A R/UDAT can help you to respond to these kinds of issues, develop a vision for a better future for your community, and implement a strategy that will produce results. Because the R/UDAT process is highly flexible, it is effective in communities as small as villages and urban neighborhoods and as large as metropolitan regions. What is the structure of the R/UDAT process? The R/UDAT process is flexible and unique, but there are typically four parts or phases, some of which occasionally overlap. Phase 1: Getting Started A local leader or citizen calls the AIA and asks for help, and the AIA sends information, initiating a conversation between the AIA and local leaders. A steering committee representing a variety of residents, local government, businesses, institutions, and 0 Introduction to the R/UDAT program Page 2 community groups is formed, gathers community support, and prepares an application. A 4110 representative from the R/UDAT Task Group visits the community, suggests revisions to the application, and prepares an evaluation report for the AIA and the community. Upon review and approval of the application, the AIA makes a formal commitment to your community. Phase 2: Getting Organized A team chairperson selected by the Task Group meets with the steering committee. This visit introduces the chairperson to the community and its concerns and sparks broader community interest and participation in the process. Preparations begin for the team visit, including initial steps that will facilitate the eventual implementation of an action plan. Phase 3: Team Visit The Task Group selects a multidisciplinary team of 6 to 10 professionals who visit the community for four intense, productive days. After listening to the concerns and ideas of residents, community leaders, and interested groups and viewing both the study area and the surrounding community, the team prepares and publishes a report that is presented in a public meeting on the last day. Phase 4: Implementation The community analyzes the team recommendations, identifies priorities, undertakes immediate objectives, and prepares an action plan. Some team members return a year later to evaluate progress so far and advise on implementation. Why does the R/UDAT process work? The process works because it relies on three simple principles. Quality Team members are highly respected, interdisciplinary professionals selected on the basis of their experience with the specific issues facing your community. The disciplines represented will therefore vary with each team, but might include architects, planners, landscape architects, developers, land-use attorneys, transportation engineers, housing specialists, preservationists, economic development specialists, urban designers, tourism consultants, public officials, and public financing advisors. The energy and creativity that are generated by a top-notch, multidisciplinary team of professionals working collaboratively can produce extraordinary results. The R/UDAT program brings more than 30 years of experience in managing this process— experience and expertise that are available to your community throughout the process. Objectivity Many communities are immobilized by conflicting agendas, politics, personalities, or even the overabundance of opportunity. The R/UDAT process ensures that all voices are given a fair hearing and that options are weighed impartially. The lack of bias, professional stature of the team members, and pro bono nature of the work generate community respect and enthusiasm for the process. Updated 03/19/02 A Introduction to the R/UDAT program Page 3 • All team members donate their time and professional services. Only their travel and living expenses are reimbursed by the community. Members stipulate that they will not, for three years, accept commissions for work resulting from the team's recommendations. To further ensure objectivity, members usually do not reside in the same state as the project community. Because team members bring new eyes and voices to a community, they frequently have the advantage of seeing issues with greater objectivity. No two R/UDATs are the same, even when the issues are similar. This objectivity can yield unexpected results, but they are always grounded in experience and considered professional opinion. Participation The process encourages the active participation of all sectors of the community. People can choose to become involved in the local steering committee's activities. The team members who will visit your community will seek the opinions and comments of the public as well as community leaders and interested groups. Interaction with team members and local commitment to the process in the form of financial support, in-kind services, or volunteer time create a sense of ownership in the results and help ensure that the energy needed to implement the community's own action plan will be maintained. A common sentiment expressed after a RJUDAT is: "This experience really brought the community together. People who never talked before are now working together." How long does the process take? The first two phases, which are critical to the overall success of the R/UDAT effort, typically take 3 to 6 months to complete, depending on how quickly the community can organize. Phase Three, Planning for Action, normally takes place 6 months after your initial phone call. Phase Four, Implementation, can take as long as needed to meet local needs and priorities, although the follow-up visit usually occurs a year after the team visit. What are the products of the RJUDAT process? Intangible products frequently include new: • Objective look at the community • Sense of purpose and direction • Energy and commitment • Levels of cooperation and collaboration throughout the community • Consensus on community concerns • Communication networks throughout the community. Tangible products include: • A coherent description of the community's condition and the challenges that must be addressed; this statement, generated by the steering committee during the application process, is frequently a community's first citizen-based self-analysis Updated 03/19/02 I Introduction to the R/UDAT program Page 4 • A well-illustrated, professional report, published and distributed by the end of the 4111 team visit, that examines the community's concerns and aspirations and recommends a vision for the future, specific action items, and timetables for consideration by your community • An action plan, developed by the steering committee working with the broader community, that describes priorities for action, including a timetable • A report resulting from the follow-up visit that analyzes the action plan, assesses progress to date, and makes recommendations that will aid implementation. How much does it cost? Who pays for it? Costs typically range from $30,000 to $50,000, some of which may be in the form of contributions and in-kind services solicited by the local steering committee to cover travel and living expenses, as well as report production costs. Funding must come from a variety of public and private sources that might include businesses, local government, nonprofits, foundations, organizations such as the chamber of commerce, arts councils, the local AIA chapter, and other community groups and individuals. Experience has shown that the best way to create broad community support is to ask everyone to contribute rather than to rely on one major funding source. Why R/UDAT? Since 1967, R/UDATs have helped more than 130 communities nationwide to become more livable. They have addressed a wide variety of community issues, including urban growth and land use, inner-city neighborhoods, downtowns, environmental issues, waterfront development, and commercial revitalization. More than 500 professionals representing over 30 disciplines have donated more than $3.5 million in services as members of R/UDAT teams. What are some results? R/UDATs have led to communities coming up with new processes to improve their quality of life. Some examples are new construction and development, new public agencies and organizations, new parks and open space, political change, affordable housing, commercial and economic revitalization, historic districts, landmark preservation, new zoning ordinances, pedestrian systems, comprehensive plans, changes in growth patterns, and stopping inappropriate development.

MAIN STREET ' Main Street should become a street where pedestrians have right-of- way at all times, with unnecessary traffic and parking eliminated when made feasible by more convenient off-street parking. Widened sidewalks would permit a variety of sidewalk activities — outdoor cafes, kiosks, street vendors, displays, colorful awnings and canopies. Overhanging signs should be eliminated and made flush with store fronts. Canopied new pedestrian crossings I I should be installed at midblocks, prominently identified as pedes- trian ways by heavily painted = -- a t crosshatching. Shuttle buses to c„ x t°±.\''. serve as an internal circulation `'- _� system should be commenced and WO I f '-�` loading zones should blend with STEP ONE midblock crossings. Tree planting should be commenced. ' Canopied pedestrian crossings i ,# should be installed at street inter- sections and prominently identified ewr'w+ as pedestrian ways.Tree planting , „g g Tif should be continued.

STEP THREE In the final stage, parking would be removed and vehicular traffic minimized. Main street would he gay and colorful,both night and day. It would have trees and other greenery, water fountains,canopies and awnings to protect people from the sun and storms. Widened sidewalks would have varied textures and there would be places for relaxation.The pedestrian would have freedom of movement in an exciting and inviting atmosphere. iUiii u Ii ;,,�. filli l i ##��i€l 'ihi.itiONERroodh,i.t �(1 lay. y�'3 f-.t,. _i Mb•�t' } j' a:; 1i,11r,I1;•,i71 I K rr a '✓*�2.yl d . ,. fi 111t t f € � 1Ft c , •. ! �Itll�!liiiif 1 f II1!

STATE STREET Covered midblock pedestrian crossings would be installed, and would be prominently marked as pedestrian ways. With tree planting and other sidewalk greenery, which could be commenced immediately, State Street could become the lovely tree-lined boulevard it already is at the State Capitol end. Block interior development would bring people to the street via pedestrian malls leading from the interior block plazas.

BLOCK INTERIOR Action could begin immediately to cooperatively create interior block plazas. In the above example, pedestrians have access to the plaza from all four sides of the block. These pedestrian ways could be arcades and malls lined with shops. Each store or place of business could have attrac- tive back entrances from the plaza, which would have parking and service below it. A second level walkway could be used, allowing development of second level entrances and display windows. A water pool, greenery and places to sit and relax would create in the midst of Downtown the con- venience and pleasantness of the shopping center. . •+� or =.10 � � �2` (` ' � 'cLI7Ii...'‘'.i'k '..1:.'F.-:.'ti:' Itr "ma - ;a"ti_� , V • ``c ' f '3 • F 1 " Y`',--: s \ �;, 'a ?

CONVENTION / CULTURAL CENTER The need is great for a complex of public buildings for conventions, sports events, exhibitions, concerts, ballet, opera, drama, ice shows, road shows and other events. On the two-block site would be built a convention and ex- hibition hall, a music hall, a performing arts theater and the Transporta- tion Center. Experience in other cities has shown these facilities to be self sustaining only if located Downtown within walking distance of hotels, motels and other Downtown attractions. Freeway access from the entire region would serve the site chosen and location here would help rehabili- tate the rapidly deteriorating west side of the Downtown. t.

VISITOR CENTER An aid in attracting more visitor dollars would be the establishment of a Visitor Center to provide information regarding attractions and ac- commodations in Salt Lake valley, Utah and the Intermountain West. • It is located to give close relationship to the Convention/Cultural Center, Transportation Center, the enlarged complex of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Downtown hotels, motels and entertainment areas. mom, A�_•14 Jy _. ,..--1 r+\t t x is 3F F �, + '^4 tI I s1r{nil9 J w, .` w•\� '"C S t ` ��`{Iyr'frttj a",� r.R. 4F',4��"/t�i 'f,�jl`Iil,�< •: �, t �/ // ]. .1 4,: :i , ; psi 1�i �@rj W ►I } w e • yy t�'1' z�`11 t e� t ff t t st L��I e [� I f }`Fsf� \\�'�,� .'_ - \�s iIM ® �. `, ly,L'*k �"-.. • ,, ', 40 , t a., ft . �i t 1� ('`1[Ir! ,,�[v'tru r l,;�' ,} >fi ' 4' 3. e' f. ur 1:P "3' f i�I .i '„ ;�iiVIV�i: i F S'OltLiz$ r r P.-ir t I{I r,T, s S�,`;�` t ,, vi. .,ri ��{ v- tea .—---- t ;1 4 r ..., �. . t �.,,�,..

ART MUSEUM AND GALLERY An adequately-sized building to house both permanent and-traveling art collections has long been recognized as one of the great cultural • needs of Salt Lake City. The proposed location at the head of Second East Street will form a magnificent focus and will strengthen the existing character of South Temple. Center of the structure could be opened for gardens to tie into the historically significant grave of Brigham Young on the hill above.

CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is preparing for con- struction of major new facilities in the block east of Temple Square. An east-west pedestrian mall and plaza with reflecting pools will be built midway in the block to afford a view of the Temple from First Avenue. It is proposed that Main Street be closed to vehicular traffic between North and South Temple streets or that an underpass be built so Temple Square block and the one east of it can be unified. Underground parking for 1,500 cars will be provided.

CITY-COUNTY GOVERNMENT COMPLEX When expansion into the block east of the City and County Building is completed, this will be a major employment concentration and anchor on the southeast corner of Downtown. Shuttle bus service will tie this area closely to other parts of Downtown. Early construction plans call for a City Library, District and City Courts Building, and Metropolitan $all of Justice. Underground parking will be provided in the new block, and a mall will connect the two blocks with an underpass for Second East Street. IT CAN BE DONE - - - Sy Many Combinations of Easy Steps • Install canopied pedestrian crossings at midblocks on Main, Broadway, and State streets with shuttle bus loading zones. Begin shuttle bus system perhaps along South Temple, Main, Broadway, and State Streets. Commence tree planting on State, South Temple and Main streets. • Install canopied pedestrian crossings and shuttle bus loading zones at midblocks in remainder of central Downtown. Place canopied pedestrian crossings at street intersections on Main Street. Complete tree planting on State and South Temple and begin planting on West Temple and Fourth South streets. Expand shuttle bus system; add to central core and peripheral parking. • Construct Convention Center (to include music hall, performing arts theater), Visitor Center, & Transportation Center. Build new freeway approach in vicinity of 1st South or North Temple. Install canopied pedestrian crossings at midblocks in remainder of Down- town. Discontinue Main Street parking from South Temple to between Fourth and Fifth South. Widen sidewalks, install storefront canopies the full length of each block. Plant trees and shrubs, install water fountains. Create focal point between Fourth and Fifth South and erect pylons down to Eighth South. Complete tree planting on West Temple and Fourth South. Extend Third Avenue under State Street to join North Temple. Expand shuttle bus system. • Construct Art Museum and begin development of garden area at Brigham Young grave site. Develop Memory Grove cultural area, Construct buildings, paths and roads; enlarge planted area. Develop Farmer's Market area. Construct Merchandise Mart which will include Decorative Center. AFTER I975 The Plan should be reviewed and updated. By this time considerably expanded areas will be devoted to commercial, financial, cultural and religious activities. There will be well developed parking areas in the Core and on the periphery and the shuttle bus system will be fully ex- panded. Most central Downtown blocks will be broken by pedestrian malls, and backdoor entrances will face internal block plazas. Downtown will be fully oriented to the pedestrian; it will be inviting, easy to reach and easy to circulate within. Salt Lake City will have added lure for visitors, and the Downtown of Utah's capital city will be the pride of every Utahn.

Our top three priorities, as we identified them in the State of the City Address in January, are(1)create expanded, sustainable city-wide youth programs, (2) develop a comprehensive regional mass transit system, and(3)revitalize our downtown area. We must do all we can to help both the Gateway Project and the Main Street area complement each other and succeed. We have had major recent successes,with the appropriation of$1.2 million from the Federal government for youth programs,the progress being made on our inter-modal hub, and the TRAX expansion to the Medical Center. We must focus on concrete actions to revitalize the downtown area. After consulting with our staff, several merchants and restaurateurs, and many creative people who want an enlivened downtown, I suggest the following four-step action plan. Please share this general plan and direction with the City Council during your Tuesday briefing regarding downtown. (I regret I will be out of town and unable to attend the Council meeting on Tuesday.) 1. 1. Jumpstart a livelier street atmosphere with weekend(and,perhaps later, weeknight) events. These could be coordinated by the City and a committee of downtown stakeholders. Also, the Downtown Alliance could get more involved. With our post-Olympics"Keeping the Spirit Alive" efforts, we have started the process of enlivening the streets in the downtown area, generating more walk-in traffic for merchants and creating an atmosphere where business and housing projects can proliferate. We have seen a remarkable outpouring of public support for the idea, as evidenced by many e-mails and calls to our office, the free publicity offered by several radio stations and the two daily newspapers, and the willingness of local bands (14 this weekend) to perform for free. This has been intended as a bridge to a future sustained program to get people to view the downtown area as a major, exciting gathering place. How this evolves will be determined by merchants, restaurateurs, community activists, artists, musicians and,we hope, the Downtown Alliance and Downtown Merchants Association. f -.- This is not about having a few bands on the sidewalk each week-end evening; it is about bringing more life to the area through (among other things) (1) extended hours for restaurants and merchants; (2)bringing dining and retail goods out onto the sidewalks; (3) more interesting signage and window design; (4) filling Main Street spaces with lively uses; (5) demonstrating the easy access to downtown by transit or by driving and parking; (6)publicity about life on Main Street; (7) street life(including street artists, musicians,performers); and(8)programming that will draw people (while not undermining the interests of residents and businesses). This will not happen overnight; it will take persistence—and a sustained effort. It must be allowed to build over time. Even with miserably cold weather the first two week-ends of our quickly-improvised efforts, Sam Weller's reported breaking even with the costs of remaining open late and Lynette at Lynette's Birkenstocks reported having the best Saturday in February since she opened. Now,with some good(at least better) weather, growing experience, and the input and work of several creative, enthusiastic, committed people,we can create successful means of drawing more people to the downtown area. To accomplish our long-term goals,we have convened a committee of downtown stakeholders to transition the project to a sustained program. Over the next month, we will be working to determine a budget, future direction, and a long-term strategy. The eventual goal will be for the program to run with minimal resources from the city. I hope the Downtown Alliance will be a major partner in these efforts. 2. 2. Develop a concrete action plan for downtown revitalization. It has been 14 years since a compressive plan for downtown was created. In 1988, Salt Lake City utilized the expert help of an interdisciplinary Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT)to create a comprehensive plan,which envisioned many facets of our downtown that are now landmarks, such as the Delta Center and the Gallivan Center. We suggest a similar process of bringing together the stakeholders to determine a precise and concrete action plan for downtown. Such a plan must include funding and incentive considerations, discussion of street closures,planning for parking systems, surveying current assets that are underutilized, a market analysis, and marketing strategy. 3. 3. Adopt an accelerated implementation scheme, utilizing all available city resources. The plan we recommend above should not be a study that gets put on a shelf. We should treat this as a list of action points and solutions to which we can devote all possible resources. The strategizing process could be completed quickly, perhaps in as little as four months. During that time, we can still make the most of opportunities that come our way, getting the action going and fitting things into the long-range plan accordingly. Market analysis and surveying underused assets could also start immediately. 4. 4. Immediate implementation of a downtown no-vacancy policy and moving forward with Library Square and Pioneer Park projects, and implementation of Thomas Consultants recommendations. One of our major revitalization goals should be filling vacant Main Street properties with lively uses. We should discourage non-lively uses—or incentivize lively uses. I suggest we find another home for the police substation on Main Street. Also,we need to determine who is going to work on bringing businesses with lively uses to Main Street. Downtown Alliance could be a major player in this regard. We can stress to EDCU that this is one of our priorities. Who is taking responsibility for this? I will continue to work with prospective businesses, as I did with AlphaGraphics (which has committed to lively use of at least one-half of its street level space in the Brooks Arcade) and Third South and Main(the club). Please use me whenever I can help. We should also encourage better window design along Main Street. A pedestrian is not treated to much when(s)he walks along Main Street between 1st and 2nd South—a bank, an empty parking lot, a police substation, a vacant post-Olympics photo shop, an office building lobby, a large copy shop, and more empty bank space-- about the same as several other blocks downtown. At least the windows could be inviting. The Shreveport Regional Arts Council is presenting"Arts in the Edge,"in vacant buildings downtown, showcasing the area's top artists. We, or the Downtown Alliance, ought to explore a similar project. Some members of the Council have caused incredible delay in making a decision about Library Square. (Just as some of them have delayed acting on the street artists ordinance, the civilian review ordinance, and the walkable community ordinance.) We should encourage them to be more decisive and to let us move forward with getting things done. The Library Square project,with open space on the east side,presents a remarkable opportunity to build up the entire area and attract mixed-use development, including significant numbers of housing units. Likewise, we should move as quickly as possible in transforming Pioneer Park into a safe, welcoming, interesting place—perhaps with a stage for outdoor concerts,plays, and other events and a large Olympic-legacy ice rink/pond/fountain. We must also keep in mind all of the reports,plans and analyses that have been created—and conscientiously put them into effect. As part of that effort, we have committed to the RDA Board to report to them regularly on what we are doing to implement the Thomas Consultants study. r`� Downtown Alliance ma SALT LAKE CITY SALT LAKE 2002 9 Exchange Place,Suite 4oi Salt Lake City,Utah 84111 VISA t:801.359.5118 �� f:801.359.5136 WORLDWIDE www.downtownslc.org PARTNER March 15,2002 TM 1997 SLOG 36 USC 220506 TO: Salt Lake City Council CC: Mayor Rocky Anderson FR: The Downtown Alliance Board of Trustees RE: Main Street redevelopment recommendations Introduction The Downtown Alliance Board of Trustees are pleased to present our thoughts and ideas about how to invigorate and energize Main Street,the historic center of our city, state, and region. These recommendations were approved at a meeting of the Downtown Alliance Board of Trustees on Friday,March 15. While our area of responsibility and interest in downtown improvements is certainly broader than Main Street(see attached Downtown Alliance Strategic Plan), our comments in this memo are directed to the Main Street core area. Main Street is important to all of us downtown and in the community because it is a symbolic barometer of how we are doing as a city. Improving the life and vitality of Main Street is not just about the tax base generated, the retail sales numbers, or the new businesses that we want to attract. It is also about creating a common meeting ground at the juncture of the public and private realm, where all our citizens and visitors can interact, congregate, and connect. Every great city has such a place, such a street, and Main Street should be our contribution and inspiration. - Before offering our ideas about Main Street, let us offer some general observations about Main Street and downtown in general. Let's remember that while we want to certainly improve upon what we have, we have many great things happening in our downtown and many assets to build upon. Our downtown is not dying, indeed it is growing and in some ways thriving. Can it be better, of course it can. But the constant drumbeat of negative comments and publicity about our downtown is not justified by the facts. Such as: Downtown is still the employment center of Utah. More people work in the downtown area than any other place in Utah. We should redouble our efforts to grow and attract jobs downtown because of the many ancillary benefits, such as retail sales, dining and entertainment use, and downtown residential living. Downtown is a growing visitor and hospitality location. The convention center expansions, visitors to Temple Square and other attractions, new investments in the hotel industry, are making this part of our economy grow rapidly. The visitor market makes up about 50%of the retail sales in some downtown locations. We should not ignore growing this segment of the downtown market. business vision community Page 2 We have a growing retail market with over 750 ground floor and retail businesses. The addition of the Gateway has increased the downtown retail offering while not detracting from sales in the existing malls. We have a very large number of retail stores for a market our size. While we would like more on the street level,the fact is we have more retail opportunities than most downtowns our size. Restaurants and nightlife are growing at a healthy clip. At last count there were 38 private clubs and over 100 restaurants in the downtown core area. There has been a tremendous capital investment in our downtown. New freeway access and light rail improvements have made accessibility better than ever. A very healthy arts and cultural community is headquartered downtown. Major performing arts organisations and cultural organizations are headquarted downtown,and new facilities under construction or in the planning stage will attract additional patrons to our downtown on a regular basis. Events and festivals are growing exponentially. Just ten years ago,there were very few festivals and events downtown. Today, especially in the warmer months,there are major events, festivals, and concerts virtually every weekend and during many other days of the week. The Gallivan Center has been instrumental in fostering this development as a venue and promoter. On Main Street itself we've seen some positive changes recently with the purchase of the Wells Fargo Center by local investors,consolidation of Well Fargo bank into that space, the proposed Hamilton Partners 20 story office tower,the Gateway Plaza West office tower,the Monaco Hotel and it's popular Bambara restautant,the renovations in the Meier&Frank Department Store, Old Navy and the Salt Lake Community College,new restaurants like the Globe Cafe,Jitters,the Melting Pot, Third and Main,the Trax opening,the great Olympic experience, as well as our long time institutions such as Zions Books,Lambs,the Tribune., Standard Optical and others that have been there for years. So while we are talking about prescriptions for change and improvements, we don't want to lose sight of the tremendous growth and gains we have made in the recent past. The following Main Street recommendations are the result of not just a recent review and comments from businesses,property owners, our Main Street Committee, and Board members,but from our 10 years of experience and involvement in promoting,marketing, and improving downtown. Page 3 Downtown Alliance Main Street Recommendations We believe that there should be three major guidelines for redevelopment efforts for Main Street that focus our collective and individual effort. 1. Build upon our strengths. The retail activities that currently exist in the downtown malls,the potential for changing and improving those facilities, the Salt Palace convention center and the growth in convention delegates,the four plus million visitors to the urban oasis of Temple Square,the new and renovated hotels in the downtown core,the Gallivan Center's identity as a superior urban amenity and event center,the carrying capacity of Trax, and our existing retail community should be the seen as lynchpins in our redevelopment efforts. How we connect, improve, and triangulate these amenities should be front and center when we think about improving our Main Street core. 2. Utilize the recommendations of the Thomas Consultants Main Street Study as the framework and guiding principles of Main Street redevelopment efforts. The Downtown Alliance recommends that we participate with the RDA in a second phase of their report to focus on leasing implementation,development opportunities at key locations, sharpening incentive programs,and other implementation efforts. 3. Think long-term as well by focusing on economic growth in our downtown core, continuing the infusion of capital in our office, residential, cultural, and transportation infrastructure, so we remain economically competitive, thereby increasing the density in our downtown, provide more entrepreneurial and social opportunities, and generate the active street life we desire. - Some of the other recommendations from the Thomas Consultants study that should be revisited and focused on are: 1. Restaurants and cafes should continue to be encouraged to have outdoor seating and be used to stimulate pockets of activity. The City whenever possible should relax ordinances and regulations that discourage outdoor seating. 2. Attract unique anchors, such as museums and other unique attractions, to generate greater daytime and evening pedestrian traffic. We should look at opportunities to focus those attractions in the Main Street corridor, and the Downtown Alliance will help identify and work to attract those anchors. 3. Main Street should be"double-loaded"with retail type activity on both sides of the street. The City should also reduce or eliminate retail competition from government owned developments, like the proposed retail pad on Gallivan Plaza, until the core is filled. Page 4 4. According to the Thomas Consultants study,market demand for street-front retail in the Main Street area is above and beyond that already garnered by the Crossroads Plaza, ZCMI Center, and the Gateway, and should be the predominant use at the ground floor. Retail uses in the study are defined to include restaurants, clubs, and entertainment facilities. Immediate opportunities are now present with vacancies at key corners on Main Street to transition from financial services to retail uses,but will likely require the assistance of the City. That opportunity should be seized now. 5. Externalize the facades and frontages of the downtown malls where possible. While primarily the responsibly of the property owners,the City and RDA can assist in this effort. The success and stability of the downtown malls is crucial to the success of encouraging new retail uses in the rest of Main Street. 6. Incorporate high quality kiosks and carts on the sidewalk to fill void space and stimulate activity. The Alliance can assist and help market that space with our contacts with vendors and other possible users. We will also investigate the feasibility of an arts and craft market to accommodate many of the vendors that are not able to participate in the Farmers Market as a way of adding life to the street and perhaps incubating some new businesses. 7. Street front retail should be mix of local and national tenants, thereby allowing a niche for Main Street distinct from the downtown malls and Gateway. The City should reconsider its current zoning requirement for retail on all ground floor downtown spaces and consider focusing on certain districts. 8. The Downtown Alliance will market and promote existing downtown events, and encourage and support major new events to locate downtown. Weekly programming of street performers and entertainers are laudable undertakings, but are not ones the Downtown Alliance believes are best suited to our strategic plan and budget, although we can help in marketing them when they occur. We will encourage other community organizations to undertake infill events,particularly during the warmer months. The Downtown Alliance currently undertakes a variety of marketing efforts on behalf of downtown businesses and organizations, and we will continue to take the lead in this regard. We also sponsor and promote several of the largest events held in downtown, and will continue to do so. 9. Develop a program for temporary, month-to-month uses of vacant space by paying property owners for their out-of-pocket expenses, and recruit high quality uses of the space by art organizations, and perhaps other businesses uses. Do not allow boarding of buildings. The Downtown Alliance can help secure the tenants,the RDA can help reimburse the costs of the use of the space. Page 5 10. Create a focal point for short-term parking, day and nighttime, in the mid point and south end of Main Street, (between 100 South and 500 South)which is convenient and easy to use. The City or RDA should consider leasing or controlling some parking for short-term uses that would be inexpensive and convenient. The Downtown Alliance will continue to try and sell the concept of a common validation to businesses and parking lot operators and owners. 11. Provide a centralized point of information on available space, financing programs, and tenant outreach. The Downtown Alliance can take the lead on this effort by utilizing our new Downtown Economic Development Center on Main Street, which will open next month. 12. Begin a public art and monument program to establish a series of staging areas that entice visitors to explore the street. Local and state art organizations should be encouraged to undertake this effort. Utilize the sidewalk space as an outdoor gallery. 13. Continue existing incentive programs such as facade loans,but consider new programs such as tax abatement,and programs to assist local and smaller retailers during their start up years. We believe a program that will assist the intermediate term retail user would be helpful to provide a jump-start in their initial operations. 14. Encourage more jobs to be located in the downtown core, as well as residential units,to create more potential customers,pedestrian traffic, and street-life. The Downtown Alliance will be working with other economic development organization to try to increase the number of jobs downtown, which will have a bearing on the quality of life and retail sales of Main Street. 15. Establish a framework and process for planning and implementation that all those with a stake and a responsibility are involved, informed, respected, and empowered. There is much to be done,and not any one person or organization can take the complete responsibility; but a collaborative effort will surely bring results. Thank you for asking for the opinion of property owners, businesses, investors and others within the Downtown Alliance,that have a long term,tangible, economic,and community interest in the improvement and enhancement of our city. The Downtown Alliance has a ten-year history of active involvement and promotion for our Main Street core. We light up the street during the holidays,we kick off the holiday season with an event,with ring in the New Year with a big bang,we were the catalyst for the Thomas Consultants redevelopment plan, we took the lead in supporting light rail into downtown, we organized the Main Street Trax design enhancement committee,we secured$250,000 in funds for Main Street area businesses for construction impact, we Page 6 manage the information kiosks, we sponsors the festivals, we market the businesses, we help recruit the tenants, and now we're even moving to Main Street. We are committed to making downtown Salt Lake City a superior place to live, work and play. Thank you. / 2nn 2 DAVID DOBBINS . A _' ' �A P,r llYr ' RjP I))A ii.Oi ' - � ' � � ROSS C.
