The design concept <br />incorporates desirable urban design features including multi-story buildings with tall first floors close to <br />the sidewalks, a prominent entry facing 10th Avenue, public space accessed from a pedestrian friendly <br />alley, and structured and embedded parking. The design anticipates the use of brick, large windows, and <br />balconies to articulate the façade. Incorporation of public art is proposed. <br /> <br />Active Uses <br />Sockeye Development is proposing dense rental housing (163 units per acre). Ground floor live/work <br />units are expected to activate the street. Significant retail uses (25,500 square feet) are proposed along <br />th <br />10 Avenue across from the Library. A limited amount of public space is proposed. <br /> L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M061016\S0610161-URASpecMeet.doc <br /> <br />
