Time-Sensitive Projects Time-sensitive projects include the projects, regulatory documents and public policy decisions that should be initiated and completed within the first 12 months of plan adoption. Recommended time-sensitive projects are outlined below and on the following pages: Policies regulations and guidelines Urban renewal and tax increment financing A skate park feasibility study Policies, Regulations and Guidelines Existing city and borough policies and regulations do not provide the administrative framework necessary to ensure that development of the downtown area will occur as envisioned in the plan. The following recommendations are designed to assure that regulatory changes support the plan. Policies The city and the borough should initiate a process that explores policies that support downtown retail revitalization. These may include: Encouraging the development of retail supportive/high-activity uses such as multiplex movie theaters within the downtown core Regulations New zoning categories should be developed that reinforce the mixed-use, urban scale of downtown and reflect the land use framework identified in this report Permitted uses should limit or severely restrict autooriented uses Development standards should be created for both the private and public realm that promote a pedestrian-, bicycle- and transit-friendly downtown Guidelines Design guidelines should be created to ensure a degree of order, harmony and quality within the built environment A discretionary review process for development projects using design guidelines should be created A reviewing body, likely a design commission of citizens, should be formed to administer the guidelines for larger projects Study Area Fairbanks North Star Borough Existing Zoning Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan | Executive Summary | Adopted August 21, 2008 24 Implementation
