It’s first phase of construction is completed (portion adjacent to the Innovation Square study area) and the second phase is expected to begin in 2017. This $330M, 3.2 mile, investment is intended to repurpose fallow land and bring new redevelopment options to the neighborhood.

Unique features will its recommendations as a guide in creating the unit distribution and help to set the site apart from other more upscale communities.

II-16

Existing conditions Identifying patterns & opportunities

The neighborhood has suffered from decades of disinvestment. The resulting landscape is riddled with vacancy - both vacant buildings and lots. The high concentration of vacancy offers tremendous opportunities to repurpose large land areas as the new Innovation Square development.

Additionally, through strategic partnerships, FRDC has land-control of approximately half of the parcels in the core study area. The City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga Land Banks have amassed properties, limiting the number of owners and simplifying acquisition and consolidation strategies. The Ownership Map (far right) clearly demonstrates the advantageous position FRDC is current in - red properties (Land Banks) combined with orange (FRDC-owned) account for a majority of the study area. It is strongly recommended that additional acquisition efforts are undertaken. The planning team has identified strategic acquisitions - focusing on creating contiguous redevelopment sites by gaining control of neighboring parcels.

A neighborhood-wide inventory of green spaces, created by FRDC (below), illustrates available public spaces. There is a lack of green space in the Innovation Square footprint, and planning directives have led to the creation of parks and gardens to bring new green spaces to the neighborhood. National This Vacancy Analysis map highlights parcels that have no structures on them. This includes vacant lots, market trends identify access to green space as a value-add to properties. side yards and parking lots. There are 280 vacant parcels within the Innovation Square Planning Area - 60%.

Fairfax Renaissance Development Corporation | City Architecture | 14 Public spaces & streets linking people & place

Because of its urban setting, Innovation Square’s development must create new street connections and enhance existing corridors. With the exception of East 105th Street (Opportunity Corridor), the City’s street grid in this area is relatively narrow. Existing rights-of-way range between 40 and 60 feet. Typical conditions accommodate 2-ways of travel, on-street parking on one side of the roadway and a 3-4 foot tree-lawn with 4-5 foot sidewalk. The plan proposes to extend streets to make new east-west connections throughout the site (Frank and Hudson Avenues).

After consulting the Cleveland Complete and Green Streets Typologies Plan and meeting with representatives from the City of Cleveland Planning Example existing street section with approximately 28 feet of pavement flanked on either side by a small tree lawn and 4-5 foot sidewalk. Please note housing images are not reflective of Innovation Square’s Commission staff, the plan proposes two street configurations / options that proposed architecture. Image courtesy of Street Mix. are supported by the City’s departments. The first proposed street section has a 50 foot ROW that allows for on-street parking on one side of the street. This option is very similar to the Small Neighborhood Street proposed in the City’s Typologies Plan. The second proposed street section has a 60 foot right of way. This option is proposed in areas of the plan where it is preferable to increase the housing density and / or allow for larger greenspaces which is accomplished by moving some parking from the blocks’ centers to the street.

For buildings fronting East 105th Street, the plan proposes a 20 foot setback from the sidewalk, since this is a busy, high-trafficked street. On the smaller residential streets throughout the rest of the neighborhood, the plan strives for a more modest and intimate setback of around 12 feet, matching typical setbacks found on those blocks. Where possible, forecourts are provided to Proposed street section with a 50 foot right of way showing two 10 foot drive lanes and one 8 foot parking offer additional privacy and buffer between the streets and front porches. lane with a 5 foot sidewalk and a 6 foot tree lawn on either side of the street. Please note housing images are not reflective of Innovation Square’s proposed architecture. Image courtesy of Street Mix.

First phase of the Opportunity Corridor (East 105th Street) is completed and includes a small tree lawn, Proposed street section with a 60 foot right of way with two 10 foot drive lanes and a parking lane on median (landscaping still to be installed) and a proposed multi-purpose path along the eastern side of the both sides of the street. Please note housing images are not reflective of Innovation Square’s proposed ROW. It is anticipated that higher volumes of traffic will occur on the new boulevard. architecture.
