OLD TOWN PEORIA REVITALIZATION PLAN Chapter 1 Chapter 5 outlines the land use plan and design guidelines for new development and public improvements while maintaining flexibility for the private market. In addition, the historic preservation section outlines steps for retaining Old Town’s historic character. Chapter 6 presents options for an action plan with phasing and implementation recommendations within the context of the City’s development process. Use of the Plan The OTPRP is intended to be the framework for future recommendations, implementation actions and capital improvement decisions within the Plan area. The actions and recommendations specified in the plan should be implemented by both the private and public sectors. The following principles will facilitate successful implementation of the plan: • The Action Plan is the roadmap for plan implementation (Chapter 6). • The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for this area should be actively funded and regularly reevaluated as new development plans are implemented. • Public street improvements and action items should be coordinated with new development. • All projects and initiatives should conform to the land use and development provisions of the plan (Chapter 5).

OLD TOWN PEORIA REVITALIZATION PLAN Chapter 2 Chapter 2. Plan Area Context A. Regional Context B. Local Context - Relationship of Project Area to the Rest of the Community C. Peoria’s History D. Physical Conditions E. Urban Form and Character A. Regional Context Peoria is located northwest of the City of Phoenix, and is part of the greater Phoenix metro area. Peoria contains over 170 square miles and is home to over 155,000 residents, making it Arizona's 4th largest city in terms of incorporated area and 9th largest in population. It is uniquely located in two counties, Maricopa County and Yavapai County. Peoria benefits from varied topography ranging from flatland desert in the southern portions of the community to foothills and mountains that surround Lake Pleasant in the north. Notable geographic features include Sunrise Mountain, West Wing Mountain, East Wing Mountain, Calderwood Butte, Cholla Mountain, White Peak, Hieroglyphic Mountains, Twin Buttes, and the New River and Agua Fria River Corridors. B. Local Context The project area is located within the southern portion of the City, in what was the original heart of Peoria. Within this area, known as Old Town, development occurred on a small-block street grid pattern in a manner reminicent of the early 20th century. This pattern is less focused on vehicle movement and is friendlier to pedestrians, as automobiles were not historically the primary mode of transportation. This street grid development pattern is an ideal framework on which to construct a revitalized and vibrant core. Although the concentration of this plan is centered within the focused planning area (Old Town and Central Sub-Districts), the planning area is comprised of approximately four square miles, from Olive Avenue to the south, Cactus Road to the north, 75th Avenue to the east and to the Loop 101 on the west. Outside of the focus area, land uses are suburban in character, predominantly low-density residential with commercial land uses located along major arterials and Loop 101. Page 5
