Task 3.5: Finalize Assefs, Needs, and Opportunities Assessments Based on the research and outreach conducted throughout Task 3, the CD+A Team will finalize the assessments and prepare a synthesis memorandum to be submitted to City Staff and the SAAC for review. This will include text and graphic analysis to clearly summarize the findings of this Task. [Please note that Fehr & Peers transportation assessments of future conditions related to the plan development in Phases II and III will be summarized in memoranda during those phases of the project]. Work Products: ^ Final Assets, Needs, and Opportunities Synthesis Memorandum and list of refined goals. ^ Fehr & Peers transportation assessment memoranda to be produced in relation to design concepts being developed in Phases II and III. Phase ll: Plan Development In this phase of the project the CD-f-A Team will work with City Staff to design a set of development, streetscape, and implementation concept alternatives; assess the effectiveness of the alternatives and their ability to address the concerns of project stakeholders; and fmally, to draft the Plan and Design Guidelines for the development concepts. Task 4: Draft Design Concepts Working from the idea of distinct segments and key nodes ("neighborhood and urban village activity nodes," in the City's language) along the Corridor the CD+A Team will develop prototypical concepts for key opportunity areas that will xeflect particular conditions along the Corridor and street improvement concepts for each of the identified segments along the Corridor. These focused concept plans will be based on an overall cohesive strategy for the entire Corridor and its interface with adjacent planning areas, as well as streetscape concepts for areas such as the North End of East 14~' Street and the Downtown. Task 4.1: Initial Sketch Alternatives Land Use Concepts CD+A will lead the Team developing an initial overview of the desired character of the Corridor. This plan will take the identified Preliminary Land Use Concepts, as presented in the Downtown Rebound Planning Grant Application and the concepts defined within the Draft General Plan and the Bal Theater Charrette, as a starting point and refine the segments to a higher level of detail. The refined segments will take their cue from the existing land use, urban design, and streetscape character; and the traffic and market assessments performed during Task 3. The plan will also identify important nodes within the Corridor. This Corridor-wide map will form the basis for an interim meeting with City Staff and SAAC Meeting #4 which will be attended by CD+A (Erickson and Kronemeyer) and SE (Belzer and Breznau) to review the land use concepts and EXHIBIT A Page 7 of 14 AGRE~EXHIBiTA.DOC (Word 6.0)
