This spring, an effort was launched with public and private leaders to create the Rediscover Downtown 8 Recommendations by Subcommittee Dayton Action Plan, with the goal of identifying short-term and long-term 24 Implementation/Action Steps recommendations and setting a vision for downtown’s recovery following the pandemic. 27 Looking Forward The Action Plan is the result of nearly 100 community volunteers and stakeholders who are committed to downtown’s continued growth and recovery. This team of diverse community leaders, business owners, residents and other stakeholders gathered to address some of the top challenges and opportunities the pandemic presented. In just a few months, eight different subcommittees convened, including: • Future of Office • First Floor & Small Business Relief • Outdoors & Recreation • Downtown Development • Arts, Entertainment, Culture & Venues • Public Realm & Transportation • Residents • Marketing As teams began to tackle their focus area, cross-collaborations emerged across committees, which were anchored by the guidance of the Steering Committee. This report includes summaries and recommendations from each of the groups. So much work has already started, and implementation teams are ready to move the recommendations forward. Downtown Dayton is poised for businesses, employees, students, residents, and visitors to come back and RECONNECT, RECHARGE, AND RECONVENE.

    2019–2020 SEASON Page 13 Message from the President Paul Helfrich, President & CEO, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Welcome to the Schuster Center and Dayton Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker! We’re glad you’re here. The holiday season is always a busy time for the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, and I want to make sure that you don’t miss any of it. We’re excited to be offering these performances of Dayton Ballet’s The Nutcracker with the sensational Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra, and we’re also looking forward to a special presentation of the wonderful jazz music from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” with the Jim Martinez Quartet on December 28. Attending The Nutcracker with family and friends is a cherished holiday tradition. Other December traditions include the Philharmonic’s presentation of Handel’s Messiah on December 18 and our New Year’s Eve concert on December 31. There’s also our free “Bach’s Lunch” concerts with the Carillon Brass; two performances at the Loft Theatre on Friday, December 13. Mainstage performances like The Nutcracker are some of our most visible offerings, but equally important performances take place in classrooms all around the Miami Valley. Over 70,000 young people in the Miami Valley benefited from DPAA education programs in the past year, including the Dayton Ballet School, Philharmonic Ensembles, Opera on the Road, Q the Music, Young People’s and Magic Carpet Concerts, ArtsConnect, and the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, Youth Strings, and Junior Strings. Those programs are made possible through the support of generous contributors to our Annual Fund Campaign.

  • Architectural Findings
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

  • Chapter 6 • Affected Environment Summary
    CHAPTER 6 • AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT SUMMARY 6-0 Affected Environment Summary Literature reviews were conducted to determine whether the project area contains natural and cultural resources or sites of concern that could be adversely affected by the proposed project. The review also looked for resources that would be considered a fatal flaw for one or more proposed alternatives. Natural resources of concern include potential wetland areas; habitats or occurrences of threatened, endangered, or special concern species; and locations of 100-year floodplains. Cultural resources of concern consist of historical or archaeological sites that are listed on, or are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The NRHP is the Nation’s official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are important in American or local history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture, and are worthy of preservation. In addition, an Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) literature review was completed to determine the presence of hazardous materials that could affect the proposed project and to identify areas that could be considered a fatal flaw for the preferred alternative. Federal and state databases were searched in an effort to identify areas of concern. The following figures appear at the end of this chapter to supplement information in sections 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3: • Figure 6-1 – Environmental Study Area • Figure 6-2 – Previously Inventoried Historical/Architectural Resources Not Evaluated for NRHP Eligibility

    Safer Bars for a Safer Community Dayton, Ohio Project Contact Person Name Larry D. Faulkner Position/Rank Major (Superintendent) Address 335 West Third Street City/State Dayton, Ohio Phone 937 333-1145 Fax 937 333-1320 Email [email protected] Key Project Team Members: Major Larry Faulkner Off. William Parsons Off. Shawn Huey Off. Chad Jones Priority Board President Steve Seiboldt Downtown Dayton Partnership Director Sandy Gudorf 2 Safer Bars for a Safer Community Summary Scanning Some bars and nightclubs in Dayton, Ohio’s downtown have become significant community nuisances and negatively impact the City of Dayton as a whole. During the last five years, this problem can be traced to downtown’s bargain priced storefront property, inexperienced bar and nightclub owners, and a lack of available state liquor enforcement resources. Recent economic conditions have increased the total number of bars located in downtown Dayton. These conditions increase the potential for problem bars and nightclubs to utilize an inordinate amount of police resources, hamper economic development downtown, and disturb downtown residents. Analysis An initial analysis demonstrated that bars and nightclubs account for 40% of all of downtown Dayton’s violent crime. The assaults and subsequent disturbances stemming from poorly managed liquor permit holder premises also utilized an excessive amount of community resources. The resources required to resolve assaults at liquor premises routinely come from the police department, fire department, courts, and the community’s medical system. Traditional police tactics used to address these issues failed to address many legitimate community concerns. The analysis also revealed that a surprising number of new bar or nightclub owners actually had little knowledge regarding bar operations or effective place management.

  • City of Dayton Historic Districts the City of Dayton Boasts an Eclectic Mix of Neighborhoods, from Downtown Lofts and Apartments to Suburban-Style Plats
    City of Dayton Historic Districts The City of Dayton boasts an eclectic mix of neighborhoods, from downtown lofts and apartments to suburban-style plats. Some of the more unique and popular housing styles can be found in our beautiful and charming historic districts, which are summarized here. Dayton View Historic District The Dayton View Historic District stands out in the family of Dayton historic districts for its diversity of architectural styles extending from the late 1880s to the 1920s. A walk through the area finds home styles including high Victorian and Queen Anne, Jacobean and Chateauesque, classical American Foursquare and the Prairie School of Midwestern Architecture. The most regal homes of the district were constructed with wide staircases, third-story ballrooms, carriage houses, and ornate mantelpieces, but even the more modest homes in the area hold treasures of unique architectural details. Today the beauty of Dayton View’s housing is comple- mented by the depth and richness of its economic and cultural diversity. http://www.preservationdayton.com/dayton-view.cfm. East Third Street Historic District This commercial district contains six structures that represent the industrial development of Dayton beginning in 1893 and continuing into the twentieth century. This district was once home to a remarkable variety of businesses including wholesale grocery companies, coffee roasters, tobacco wholesalers, paper distributors, and paint manufacturers. The district also represents a collection of Commercial style architecture as applied to industrial buildings. All of the buildings are well preserved and retain much of their original architectural detail. Grafton Hill Historic District The Grafton Hill Historic District is a small 18-block sector of Dayton developed in the late 19th century.
