Retail Hot Spot The retail hot spot includes: Retail along Cushman from 5th to 7th avenues Retail around Cushman Square The retail hot spot reestablishes a viable retail environment for downtown by capitalizing on: Planned Cushman Street improvements that will convert Cushman to a two-way street with on-street parking, maximizing retail exposure and providing a critical link with existing retail along Cushman Street, 2nd and 3rd Avenues Available redevelopment parcels to create the critical mass and edge-to-edge retail necessary to compete with other retail centers and organized around a new public amenity Proximity and direct access to the Chena River Retail Anchor Retail Parking Retail Anchor P New Retail Cushman Street 5th Ave Cushman Square 6th Ave New and Existing Retail Ground-Floor Retail Around Cushman Square Retail Hot Spot Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan | Land Use Framework | Adopted August 21, 2008 41 Golden Heart Plaza Cushman Square New Street Existing and Renovated Supporting Retail Retail Around Cushman Square P Retail Framework Land Use Framework
Supporting Retail Supporting retail locations should complement the retail hot spot. These types of retail uses include: Local-serving uses, such as specialty grocery stores, drug stores, banks, hair salons, office suppliers or similar uses that are needed on a daily or weekly basis Locally-based retailers that do not require the driveby visibility offered by the retail hot spot Retailers that are more auto-oriented (along Airport Way) Downtown Grocery A new “urban-style” full-service grocery store is proposed to serve downtown employees, anticipated new housing and adjacent neighborhoods. The proposed location provides excellent visibility, the ability to capture a.m. and p.m. auto trips, and is close to neighborhoods. The downtown grocery store should provide: 80,000 to 100,000 SF of retail to meet the demand for neighborhood-serving retail uses A pedestrian orientation with commercial/retail pads oriented to engage the street Support for local businesses, including complementary neighborhood serving uses such as a dry cleaners or cafe A full-service neighborhood anchor store that serves as a hub for residential and commercial development Generous landscaping screening “back of the store” functions and parking to reduce the impact on adjacent residential areas and support a “green corridor” along Airport Way Would not preclude a smaller specilaty grocer within the retail hot spot or historic storefrontsupporting retail along 2nd and 3rd Avenues Downtown Grocery (Supporting Retail) Historic Storefront (Supporting Retail) 11th Avenue Commercial/ Retail Services Full-Service Grocery Landscaping Barnette Street Landscaping Airport Way Supporting Retail Downtown Grocery Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan | Land Use Framework | Adopted August 21, 2008 42 Retail Framework
