INTRODUCTION AND VISION, GUIDING PRINCIPLES INTRODUCTION AND VISION “Jobs and opportunities will be brought close to the neighborhoods whenever possible – and made available first to Detroiters.” Mayor Michael Duggan – 2017 Mackinaw Policy Keynote on Neighborhood Development Eastern Market Comprehensive Neighborhood Framework Plan The Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (DEGC) in conjunction with the Economic Development Corporation of the City of Detroit (EDC), on behalf of The City of Detroit’s Mayor’s Office, Planning and Development Department (PDD), Housing and Revitalization Department (HRD), the Department of Neighborhoods (DON) (known as “the City”); and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) seeks proposals from qualified firms to develop a Comprehensive Neighborhood Framework Plan (Framework Plan) with strategic implementation strategies that builds upon previously completed neighborhood studies, creating a consolidated and actionable vision for the City of Detroit to synergize growth and support future investment within the Eastern Market neighborhood of Detroit. The Framework Plan covers a study area of approximately 1.1 square miles that incorporates the Eastern Market (Market Core) and the surrounding Greater Eastern Market residential (GEM) neighborhood. The goal is to create a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood that makes Eastern Market the hub of food production and distribution for the Great lakes region while increasing neighborhood amenities, improving the quality of life for local residents, and expanding their opportunities for nearby employment. Neighborhood Business Innovation Zone The Eastern Market Corporation (EMC) has developed a strategy for the creation of the Neighborhood Business Innovation Zone (NBIZ), an intended high tech center of food production, processing, and distribution within the transitional space of vacant land adjacent to the Market Core. The goal is to facilitate the growth of food related businesses. The NBIZ is to be developed for local small-to-medium food businesses to have the flexibility to grow and remain in the Eastern Market District in the future with respect to existing residents located within the study area. The NBIZ is to include site plans and specific building typologies to accommodate larger building footprints for food processing, warehousing, and distribution facilities. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) signed into law by President Obama in 2011 aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to prevent it. Per this law and its regulations, further industrial development of the food and agricultural entities must account for the required separation and relocation between food processing and production facilities and retail food establishments. The potential to relocate facilities from within the (Market Core) may necessitate a redevelopment strategy to repurpose existing properties in a manner that supports preserving the market’s authenticity (and with that, its robust tourist trade). 5 This strategy for the Framework Plan seeks the best urban design practices for development that combines open space design requirements that can incorporate the development of a series of Centralized Stormwater Management (CSM) feature facilities and future development of a proposed Watershed Improvement District (WID) and design features that can attract new residents, expand greater food related commercial investment, incorporate land-use buffering (between the NBIZ, Market Core, and GEM), enhance mobility, culture, and recreation. Under the guidance of the DEGC, PDD, the City, and TNC, the chosen firm will analyze previous planning studies and develop recommendations for implementation strategies, including but not limited to: • Development of state of the art food production and distribution facilities; • Identification of sites for multi-family housing (new construction and adaptable re-use), mixed- use development (new construction and adaptable use), and identification of strategic demolitions and remediation; • Perform an open space assessment and identify other infrastructure improvements that advance economic and ecological performance (streetscapes, storm water management), with design, are also part of the strategy; and • Developing an understanding of existing truck traffic in the area and a framework for future traffic (truck, non-truck) mitigation work to alleviate both existing and future potential incompatible uses is critical for creating and maintaining a quality urban environment, including transportation and parking strategies. Figure 1 – Shed 4 – Trucks unloading produce The Framework Plan also provides a significant opportunity to develop an integrated approach to reduce stormwater flows with the proposed series of CSM feature facilities, described in more detail below. The facilities will collect and treat runoff from new and existing impervious surfaces and catalyze economic development. The development of the CSM Master Plan will rely on key work efforts of the Framework 6 Plan to ensure the locations, design, and programming of the facilities are seamlessly integrated within the overall vision of the district. The Framework Plan shall be an actionable development plan, including phasing strategies which identify the potential funding sources for implementation. Centralized Stormwater Management (CSM) Feature Master Plan Starting in the late spring of 2016, TNC and EMC identified an opportunity to forge a partnership aimed at developing a model for urban revitalization and economic growth in Detroit. In part, this partnership was inspired by the depth of on-going projects occurring between the respective partnerships of EMC, the DEGC, and the City of Detroit around economic development, and that of TNC and the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) around stormwater management. The CSM Feature Master Plan (CSM Master Plan) is intended to unite two key objectives: sustainable management of stormwater and catalyzing of future development. The collection of stormwater runoff to neighborhood-scale centralized facilities will provide an opportunity to reduce stormwater drainage charges for the district, and offer an alternative compliance options for the impending Post Construction Stormwater Ordinance (PCSO), thereby catalyzing future development through the reduction of a common development barrier. The CSM feature will be comprised of a network of centralized, hydraulically connected, neighborhood- scale, green stormwater facilities and greenways, which will convey and manage runoff from a significant portion of the NBIZ and surrounding neighborhood. The facilities that comprise the CSM feature are envisioned to be innovative green infrastructure solutions which will bridge the otherwise questionable design gap between placing factories and families in harmony on the same landscape. The design of the facilities will take a quantitative approach to ensure existing topography and infrastructure are utilized to move and retain stormwater across the district. This approach will ensure successful management of stormwater to meet compliance and develop a network of centralized facilities that will support healthy habitat. This embedding of a healthy natural habitat within the district will improve overall livability and ensure access to nature for all. The location of the facilities has an opportunity to be integrated within the neighborhood pathway network to support green connections throughout the project area. The facilities will also provide attractive green spaces and habitat which will

    St. Lad's History. St. Ladislaus 75th Anniversary Yearbook 1920-1995. Hamtramck, Michigan, p. 7-21. CAP at Orchard Lake. Early Hamtramck Lore The history of St. Ladislaus Parish is closely linked to history of the City of Hamtramck. Indeed, it wouldn't make sense to discuss one without the other. At the turn of the century, Hamtramck was much different from the city that now exists. It was a huge township that extended from the Detroit River to the east, running across Base Line Road (now Eight Mile Road), westward to Woodward Avenue, and then running south toward its current borders. Hamtramck Township dwarfed the City of Detroit, which had its northern border near Grand Bou- levard. Only in 1924 did Hamtramck reach its current boundaries. At the time, Hamtramck was an important garden community that supplied fresh food to the City of Detroit. Hamtramck was initially attractive to immigrants because it was relatively rural and, therefore, housing was cheap. It remained attractive because several industrial plants had located near the city. These plants, which provided well-paying jobs to relatively unskilled labor, included the Dodge Brothers automobile plant, Briggs Manufacturing, Acme White Lead, American Radiator, Russell Wheel and Foundry, and Chrysler Motor Corporation. The plants and the area were easily accessible by means of the Baker Streetcar Line, which ran along Joseph Campau. As such, the areas near the streetcar line became more densely populated. Moreover, the housing in the city was primarily built to adapt to multiple families. This resulted in a still more dense population, and the need for a central and profitable retail business district along the main street, Joseph Campau.
