O&MURPA <br />LIVE IDLAND RBANENEWAL ROJECTREA <br />UCLCRA <br />NIVERSITYITY ANDLEARANCE FOR EDEVELOPMENT UTHORITY <br />The City’s standards for Olive Boulevard right-of-way and street design have been <br />established to promote pedestrian activity and visual uniformity of the Olive Boulevard <br />corridor. As noted in the City’s Olive Boulevard Land Use Study (April 2000), the Olive <br />Boulevard corridor has the highest concentration of retail enterprises. It is also close to <br />many residential areas. However, pedestrian connectivity and pedestrian activity is not <br />occurring with any frequency due to the inadequate pedestrian facilities (i.e. street <br />lighting, ADA accessible sidewalks, new sidewalk pavements, etc.). The physical <br />conditions and current design of the pedestrian facilities as well as their interaction with <br />vehicular access points (driveways and intersections) is inadequate to support the City’s <br />objectives for revitalization in the Area. <br />B. IUC <br />NSANITARY OR NSAFE ONDITIONS <br />The gas main piping and gas meter in the rear of the building located on Parcel 2 is <br />unprotected from collision with vehicles as parking spaces, loading areas and drive <br />aisles at the rear of Parcel 2 increase the probability of a potential collision between <br />vehicles and the main gas lines (a photograph showing the gas meter is located in <br />Appendix B <br />). Contemporary development standards require bollards or curbs to be <br />placed around gas lines as an impediment to accidents and also to prevent potential <br />explosions or fire due to collisions. This presents a significant and immediate safety <br />hazard for building occupants and drivers of vehicles within the Area. <br />C. DSI <br />ETERIORATION OF ITEMPROVEMENTS <br />All of the parcels in the Area exhibited deterioration of site improvements. These <br />Appendix B <br />instances of deterioration are displayed in and include fascia in disrepair, <br />cracking on masonry, and deteriorated asphalt parking lots, concrete entrance aprons, <br />and sidewalks. These conditions are indicative of a lack of reinvestment in the Area. <br /> Fascia in disrepair (Parcel 1); <br /> Deteriorated parking lot (Parcel 2); <br /> Dilapidated sidewalks (Parcels 1 & 2); <br /> Cracking on masonry (Parcel 1); and <br /> A damaged roof (Parcel 1). <br />D. ISOP <br />MPROPERUBDIVISION OR BSOLETELATTING <br />All of the parcels in the Area exhibit forms of obsolete platting. Obsolete platting <br />includes parcels of limited or narrow size and configuration or parcels of irregular size or <br />shape that would be difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner compatible <br />with contemporary standards and requirements (including existing City zoning and/or <br />development codes). Plats that created inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, <br />alleys and other public right-of-ways, or which omitted easements for public utilities <br />should also be considered obsolete. Obsolete site configuration refers to sites that do <br />not meet current standards for site development, such as provision for open space, <br />landscaping, parking, or loading space. <br /> ÐÙßÊ ËÎÞßÒ ÝÑÒÍËÔÌ×ÒÙ <br />5 <br />80759 <br />1/08/08 <br /> <br />
