As a component, the project team sought a retail study to address: • the relative positioning of each district’s existing retail and future needs (over 20 years) to identify market supportable strategies to improve the area’s retail environment; • the phasing of retail for build out to guide the formation of development, zoning, and growth policies, and develop synergies with other land use functions; and, • the strategies to improve conditions for existing retailers and eliminate any obstacles that might dissuade tenants from locating in any of the study areas. Streetsense and BAE Urban Economics – two local consulting firms – undertook this study and planning document. The project kicked-off in August 2014. The work effort to complete the Retail Planning Strategy for the Bethesda Downtown Plan included extensive field survey, data analysis, market analysis, and observation of specific conditions existent in each of Bethesda Downtown’s subdistricts.
