Downtown Specific Plan - Part 1 - City of Brawley

Recommendations

Info

Brawley Downtown Specific Plan West Village District (II) 9 3-14 •9 New Street-Fronting Retail and Office (Existing Dollar Tree Site) -- This site is located on the northwest corner of 3rd Street and Main Street. Pedestrians walking along Main Street are greeted by a large surface parking lot and minimal landscape buffer along the sidewalk. During hot summer days, this segment of Main Street is a not conducive to pedestrian activity. Mid-size retail anchors are located at the rear of the site, with no distinct pedestrian connection. In order to activate the sidewalk and connectivity of uses along all of Main Street, future redevelopment of this site should include street- adjacent buildings comprised of ground floor retail or office uses compatible with the County Courthouse located directly across the street (to the south). A consolidated surface parking lot should be provided at the rear of the project site.

14 East Village District (III) •10 •11 •12 10 14 14 11 New Street-Fronting Retail and Residential (Existing Vacant Site) -- The site is encouraged to redevelop with a mixed-use residential component that is compatible with the adjacent Ciudad Apartments. Parking for both may be located in a rear consolidate parking lot. “Tops Cocktails’ Historic Building Renovation -- Preserve and renovate, or adaptively reuse this historic building, which houses one of the community’s most long-standing businesses. The building will require a significant amount of retrofit work, but is well-designed with street-fronting uses and covered arcades that wrap the street corner. New Multi-Purpose Recreational Trail Along Railroad -- Convert the expansive vacant land along the railroad tracks to a decomposed granite multi-purpose trail that connects Downtown to northern and southern parts of the City. This trail can be used by walkers, 12 12 12 13 14 13 • 14 • 13 13 13 Looking North Along Railroad Tracks Downtown Vision runners, bicyclists, and also include exercise stations at various points. Landscaping should include California natives and be climatesensitive, water-efficient as well as low-maintenance. Tall vegetation and colorful shrubs will buffer the railroad and beautify this area. County Employment and Medical Services Expansion -- As demand for employment and medical services grow, the vacant parcels located along G Street should redevelop with commercial buildings to expand the County’s adjacent Employment Services Center and Brawley’s Medical Center. A strong pedestrian connection and plaza between the activity of these two blocks (straddling 9th Street) will unify the project and the parking lot accessed from G Street. Public Gathering Plazas -- Streetscape, public plaza and rear alley enhancements should occur as part of all redevelopment projects. 3-1
