The TIF Redevelopment plan shown on the left illustrates Page Avenue at the end of the 23-year<br />

durati on of Tax Increment Financing. This scheme proposes the separati on of high and low-income<br />

housing, as well as keeping residenti al and commercial buildings exclusive from one another. The TIF<br />

Plan installs on-street parking close to the intersecti on of Page Avenue and Ferguson Avenue with<br />

additi onal parking behind primary buildings along Page Avenue. A clocktower at this intersecti on is the<br />

defi ning “community identi ty” feature of this scheme.<br />

The TIF plan situates market-rate townhouses on Page Avenue.<br />

Entrances to these residences face the street, while parking is<br />

located in the rear. Each 2-3 story residenti al unit is typically<br />

1000 square feet. Steering Committ ee members support the<br />

combinati on of market-rate and aff ordable townhouses into<br />

mixed-income living which would minimize social dispariti es.<br />

Low-income housing on Page Avenue is separated from the<br />

high-income market rate housing across the street. Residenti al<br />

density on Page Avenue could result in more “eyes on the street”<br />

which could decrease criminal acti vity. A similarly stronger<br />

residenti al streetside presence exists in the TIF Plan with focus<br />

on community density.<br />

Mixed-use spaces on Page Avenue would create an urban<br />

scheme with easily accessible goods and services. Mixed-use<br />

urban plans are known to promote pedestrian acti vity and may<br />

create more vitality along Page Avenue. Steering Committ ee<br />

members were in favor of the implementati on of mixed-use<br />

buildings along Page Avenue for the benefi ts of accessibility to<br />

goods and services and the potenti al creati on of more employment<br />

opportuniti es.<br />

The presence of senior housing on Page Avenue would address<br />

a need of the community. The TIF Plan places senior housing<br />

adjacent to the new Save-A-Lot, providing its occupants with<br />

convenient access to healthy foods. Steering Committ e members<br />

speculated as to whether or not the senior housing’s proximity to<br />

a busy intersecti on is unsafe.<br />

The aim of this development scheme is to maximize<br />

The intent of this development plan is to create an<br />

The newly constructed grocery store is given a privileged locati on<br />

on the Page-Ferguson Avenue intersecti on in this master plan.<br />

The grocery has since been constructed one lot further west on<br />

Page Avenue. As the fi rst phase of redevelopment, Save-A-Lot’s<br />

presence in the community is anti cipated to catalyze further<br />

investment in Pagedale.<br />

Between buildings, these parks<br />

would be semi-public spaces used<br />

for leisure and congregati ng. Behind<br />

buildings, these parks would be<br />

more private green spaces intended<br />

for use by the residents of adjacent<br />

housing units. Access to these<br />

spaces would be gated to maintain<br />

safety in the neighborhood. The<br />

Steering Committ ee, however,<br />

believes fences suggest an “off -<br />

Additi onal housing units placed<br />

behind the primary residenti al/<br />

commercial spaces on Page Avenue<br />

would create a density and<br />

would relate the neighborhood<br />

residents of the carriage houses<br />

and those living in apartments on<br />

The placement of an outdoor market<br />

on the corner of Page Avenue and<br />

Ferguson Avenue could make locally<br />

grown foods more accessible to<br />

residents and help boost community<br />

visibility in Pagedale. Produce is<br />

typically sold at farmer’s markets but<br />

vendors can be invited to sell other<br />

goods. This amenity, supplemented<br />

by an orchard or green space, would<br />

help identi fy the intersecti on as an<br />

important gathering space.<br />

The Community Orchard Initi ati ve<br />

would provide a strong sense of<br />

identi ty for the City of Pagedale. 30-40<br />

lots in the area that are too small to<br />

build on are qualifi ed for this project.<br />

Small groves of dwarf apple trees that<br />

mature quickly would be planted on<br />

these lots. The orchards do not require<br />

much upkeep and residents have<br />

already expressed interest in helping<br />

to maintain them. Orchards would be<br />

equipped with fencing and lighti ng.<br />
