The previous references to GI features explained their attributes in terms of post-construction water quality and the manual provides technical guidance APPENDIX 2 - UTILITIES on these features, as well as others. Furthermore, the city is in the process of developing more detailed design A22 guidance related to GI applications as part of their Blueprint Columbus initiative. Although there are conventional engineering approaches to managing stormwater runoff and providing post- construction water quality, the use of GI has the distinct advantage of being easily integrated into any site development and public infrastructure improvement project, including the use of bio-retention practices in landscaping areas and the use of pervious pavement in roadways and parking areas. 2014 MARKET STUDY (PLAN APPENDIX 3)

PREPARED BY: A. Introduction

The purpose of the market analysis was to identify short- and long-term market-supported opportunities with ongoing redevelopment strategies for the West Franklinton Planning Area as part of an overall comprehensive land use planning effort.

Specifically, the scope of the market analysis was to identify market-supported opportunities (near- and long-term) for residential and retail/service businesses based on a thorough understanding and analyses of the local rental and for-sale housing market, commercial market conditions, demographic projections, socio-economic characteristics, and the availability and appropriateness of potential redevelopment sites.

The recommendations for short-term opportunities represent uses which are supported within a five-year period based on current market conditions and redevelopment efforts. Long-term opportunities, 10 years and beyond, were identified and used to assess local aspirational goals of the community and in identifying realistic steps toward creating a more vibrant and sustainable neighborhood.

B. Residential Analysis

West Franklinton is a large planning area, in fact one of Columbus’ largest historic neighborhoods. Because of the expansive nature of the area and the diverse locational market dynamics, the most effective way to analyze the housing market is to divide it into more manageable submarkets. Based on the thoroughfares and mobility patterns; socio-economic characteristics; hard boundaries and city block orientation, the area was divided into seven housing submarkets for further analysis.

1. Housing Type

Some of the most stable and economically diverse neighborhoods in Columbus offer a wide variety of housing types. Lacking housing choices and/or having a surplus of one or more unit types can limit a neighborhood’s revitalization potential. a. Housing Type In comparison to the City of Columbus, West Franklinton has a slightly higher proportion of single-family housing stock; much higher share of duplexes (+8.7%); and significant shortfall of higher multifamily housing of 3 or more units. Excluding the Far South Submarket, multifamily housing in the remaining areas of West Franklinton (north of Interstate 70) is very low at 20.0%. The higher share of duplex units in West Franklinton makes increasing homeownership rates in the area challenging. Typically stable neighborhoods have ownership in no more than one-fourth of their duplex units.

Unit sizes by bedroom type for multifamily housing are not available from the Franklin County Auditor. The square feet of living space of multifamily developments are rarely advertised/published and a few leasing agents were aware of the unit sizes at their projects.

c. Year Built With a median year built of 1920, the housing stock in West Franklinton is much older compared to the citywide median of 1974 (Source: 2012 American Community Survey 1- Year Estimates). Nearly two-thirds of the housing stock built in the 1940s and 1950s were within the Northwest and Southeast Submarkets.

According to the Franklin County Year Built Auditor, 80% of the housing stock Decades Share of Housing Stock in West Franklinton was built Pre-1940s 80.3% prior to 1940. The housing stock 1940s-1950s 10.3% built since 2000 represents new 1960s-1970s 3.5% construction at the nursing 1980s-1990s 1.6% college, single-family and senior 2000 to Present 4.3% Tax Credit housing, and public housing for seniors (Worley Median Year Built 1920 Terrace).

2. Rental Housing – Subsidized

Subsidized rental housing in West Franklinton represents 16.0% of the entire housing stock in West Franklinton. This is comparable to the share of subsidized housing in Columbus’ emerging1 Weinland Park neighborhood (16.7%).

The distribution of subsidized housing in West Franklinton is heavily concentrated in the Far South. The Far South has 60% of the West Franklinton’s subsidized housing and another 100 units will be added by Volunteers of America (VOA) at West Edge. This area also has a high share of supportive service providers.

The Central West and East areas have 13.4% and 12.9% shares of subsidized housing respectively. By comparison, the areas of West Franklinton north of Broad Street and south of Sullivant Avenue (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast Submarkets), have very little subsidized housing.

The Low-Income Tax Credit Housing program is an indirect Federal subsidy used to finance the development of affordable rental housing for low-income households. It is a competitive award process in which awarded developers then sell the tax credits to investors to raise capital (equity) for their projects. The lack of Tax Credit housing north of Broad is largely a result of the area not being within a Qualified Census Tract (QCT). Projects located in a QCT are eligible for additional tax credits for new construction or rehabilitation. For that reason, projects within a QCT have had an economic advantage over non-QCT projects and as a result were more competitive in the award process. A QCT has either a poverty rate of at least 25 percent of householders or 50 percent or more with incomes below 60 percent of the area median household income.

While the Northwest and Northeast Submarkets meet both of these criteria, they are located within Census Tract 43 (refer to map) which extends northwest along the Scioto River and includes 183 high-end single-family homes and condominiums and another 1,806 “luxury” rental housing units. Because of the addition of these properties and higher-income residents, the census tract is not designated as a QCT. The Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) has recently addressed this issue and offered a “basis boost” to developers looking to build housing in areas that do not qualify as a QCT. Area north of Broad Street is in Census Tract #43 – not a QCT

3. Rental Housing – Market-Rate

West Franklinton represents one of the lowest rent tier neighborhoods in Columbus. The highest achieved rents are well below the average regional rents.

While the lower rents represent affordability, they are a product of older, lower quality housing stock and an environment in most areas which includes vacant and/or boarded-up homes. There is a limited use of Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) in the area as the value of the vouchers is generally at and above regional rent averages and enables households to afford higher-priced rental units outside of Franklinton.

Despite the general lower quality of much of the housing stock, there is limited availability among all unit types in West Franklinton. Based on interviews with area landlords and a review of Craigslist and other rental listing websites, the rental housing vacancy is below 5%.

Notably, no one-bedroom rental housing units (available or occupied) were identified north of Broad Street.

4. Rental Housing – Opportunities

Franklinton is one of the last emerging historic neighborhoods adjacent to the downtown. There is significant momentum in East Franklinton with a vibrant art scene and several planned residential and commercial developments. West Franklinton has seen some benefits from this movement, and while there are many young single persons and couples who want to be part of Franklinton, it is difficult to attract new residents without a variety of rental housing stock.

a. Multifamily Housing West Franklinton is proximate and easily accessed from downtown and other areas of the city via Broad Street and Interstates 70, 71, and 315. Restaurants and other active businesses in “Downtown Franklinton” make the area immediately surrounding Broad Street a likely candidate for a large scale, multifamily rental housing development. This key opportunity zone includes the 315 Gateway focus area. As downtown living continues in popularity, rents will continue to escalate and fewer and fewer households will be able to afford to live downtown. At the same time, there is a national trend in urban corridors where renters desire living in redeveloped mixed use environments outside of the main downtowns. Some developers have capitalized on this lifestyle by placing housing within walking distance of places to eat, drink, shop and be entertained. Typical Rent Per Square Foot of New Development District Studio One-Bedroom Two-Bedroom Downtown Columbus $1.85 $1.65 $1.50 East Franklinton* $1.50 N/A $1.22 *per the East Franklinton Plan

The high rent per square foot in Downtown Columbus generally results in rental rates for a new apartment in excess of $1,000 per month. At this rent level, most residents will have incomes of at least $45,000. The relatively low recommended rental rates for West Franklinton are needed to maintain affordability to current residents and to attract renters to West Franklinton. Creation of new housing at these rent levels will likely require developer incentive(s) and assistance. Recommended Rent Per Square Foot Levels District Studio One-Bedroom Two-Bedroom West Franklinton $1.25 - $1.35 $1.10 - $1.20 $1.00 - $1.10 ($625 - $675) ($715 - $780) ($900 - $990)

Project or common area amenities will be required to be competitive with other urban multifamily housing projects. We anticipate that a development of approximately 150 to 200 units will be needed to support these amenities, including fitness center, media room, and outdoor recreational amenities.

b. Affordable Housing Development Demand for affordable housing for low-income households still exists in West Franklinton. Although the market-rate rents in the area are generally affordable to lower income households, the quality of much of the rental housing stock is poor. Also, there is a limited supply of available rentals.

The market can readily support a 40-60 unit apartment property developed under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and another 40 single-family rentals (rent-to-own) under the same program. The single-family rentals should be developed in a critical mass of at least 8 to 10 homes within adjoining blocks. The grouping of fewer homes scattered throughout the neighborhood has proven to be more difficult to market and manage.

It is difficult to finance new commercial space in a neighborhood with high vacancies and low achievable lease rates, albeit among older lower quality space. There may be an opportunity to add newly constructed retail space in the short-term as part of an apartment development which includes ground floor retail space.

c. Student Housing Mount Carmel College of Nursing is among the largest baccalaureate nursing programs in Ohio. There is an enrollment of approximately 1,200 students.

There are two resident halls on West Town Street adjacent Mount Carmel that are fully occupied and can accommodate up to 144 students. An opportunity should be further explored to expand the existing “campus” area to accommodate Student Housing more students. Holy Cross Hall – 18 Apartments

5. For-Sale Housing

According to the Franklin County Auditor, there were 226 total “valid” home sales in West Franklinton from 2008 through 2013. Invalid sales, in general, are transfers of property that occur through the sheriff, by quit claim, and/or fiduciary execution.

Two-thirds of the homes sold in this period were priced below $25,000. While these homes represent an entry into the market for many first-time homebuyers and landlords, the reinvestment needed to bring these units up to move-in ready conditions often exceeds market value. In some cases this results in the continuation of deferred maintenance. A

7| Page

review of Franklin County Auditor rental registration records indicates that seven of every ten of these recently purchased homes are now rentals.

Homes in West Franklinton in move-in ready condition (no significant work needed) are typically priced at $50,000 and higher. Homes within this price category represented one- fifth of the valid home sales in West Franklinton. Most of these homes are bank financed and owner-occupied.

A total of 29 single-family homes priced above $85,000 were sold in the neighborhood between 2008 and 2013. All of them had incentives/abatements/subsidies, including the city-sponsored Home Again program, Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and Habitat for Humanity.

As of July 1, 2014, there were 26 active for-sale housing listings on the Columbus Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Of these listings, eight (30%) were priced above $50,000. The median home sizes of the properties listed for sale were typical of homes sizes found throughout the neighborhood.

Summary of Active Home Listings (as of July 1, 2014) Two-Bedroom Three-Bedroom Four-Bedroom+ Total Total Listed 7 14 5 26 Median Sale Price $29,500 $37,450 $52,000 $35,000 Total Listed Above $50,000 0 5 3 8 Median Home Size (sf) 1,015 1,368 1,554 1,373

Continued sales of single-family homes are limited by the number, quality, and location of homes that can be acquired. The prevalence of vacant and boarded-up homes throughout the neighborhood further hinders home sales.

6. Vacant Housing

Successful redevelopment of West Franklinton must address the vacant housing issue. The prevalence of vacant/boarded-up homes adversely impacts the neighborhood’s marketability. It’s not solely the poor condition of the vacant homes that dissuades persons from moving to/investing in the area, but the criminal activity that is often associated with boarded-up homes.

As of January 2013, there was an inventory of 568 vacant buildings in West Franklinton. The City has made this a priority issue and has taken steps to expedite the transfer of vacant properties to the city land bank to facilitate reuse/redevelopment.

Vacant/Boarded-Up Buildings in West Franklinton (parcels in Red)

A market-based approach was identified in this plan in order to prioritize city funds/efforts and facilitate private investment. This approach is outlined in the following Vacant Property Strategy.

9| Page

Vacant Property Strategy A one-size fits all approach is not appropriate in West Franklinton since there are significant market characteristic differences from one block to the next. A detailed block-by-block approach was used to analyze a wide range of redevelopment/acquisition opportunities and align neighborhood goals with priorities for city funds/efforts addressing:

1. Vacant dilapidated housing 2. Building equity 3. Living near green space

Approximately 100 city blocks in West Franklinton were analyzed using the following criteria.

• Condition of housing stock (homes valued $50,000 and higher) • Median home values • Share of homeowners • Share of duplexes • Block amenities (e.g. schools, parks, boulevards, and other civic/cultural assets) • Parcels under Land Bank and/or Franklinton Development Association ownership • Housing with long-term subsidies • Number of vacant properties

The home values were based on a review of Franklin County Auditor data supplemented by individual sales data and building permit activity.

Following an analysis of the above criteria, four groups of similar market characteristics were established. Recommended Land Bank City Block Groups % with % Vacant/ % in Good Average Block Share of Homeowner- Boarded-Up Group Condition Home Values Amenities Duplexes ship Rates Homes A >50% $55,000 >50% 30% 35% 15% B 30% $45,000 20% 35% 35% 20% C 15% $38,000 <10% 35% 35% 15% D <10% $35,000 0% <25% 25% 30%

The grouping of the blocks of similar market characteristics can be used as a tool to assess the scope of work such as: rehab costs market-appropriate for a home in a given block; should green space be given consideration; and/or should a home be held with other properties to obtain a critical mass site. Ultimately, however, the final decision is predicated on the actual condition and the required renovation identified from a thorough inspection by the City.

Group A represents blocks that have the best potential for the market to support substantial rehab costs including conversion of duplexes to single-family homes. Also, with subsidies available (like Neighborhood Stabilization Program grants); these are areas of the neighborhood with the highest home values to best support the cost of new construction.

10| Page

Group B represents blocks that have the best potential for the market to support more moderate rehabilitation costs (see example below). The values are the second highest in the neighborhood, but not high enough for the market to support substantial renovation costs, such as conversions or gut rehabs.

Before After

Group C represents blocks where vacant/boarded-up homes should be considered for minor repairs or demolition with a landscaped lot (see example below). While opportunities to renovate existing homes are more limited in this group, a demolition and reuse of the land as green space can improve the value of other homes and properties on the block.

Before After

Group D represents blocks with the lowest home values and homeownership rates and the greatest share of vacant/boarded up homes. These blocks present an opportunity for critical mass redevelopment, whether it is more housing, green space, or some other needed use. Areas where single-family housing was deemed non-compatible with adjacent land uses (e.g. light industrial use with outdoor use and/or storage) were added to Group D.

C. Retail Analysis

There is nearly 300,000 square feet (SF) of ground floor retail space in West Franklinton. The overall occupancy rate is 80.2%, approximately 10 percentage points below the Central Ohio average. There is only one conventional (suburban style) shopping center in West Franklinton, Franklinton Square (see photo below). The strip center includes 34,369 square feet (SF) of gross leasable area and as of June 2014 was 73.8% occupied. It is important to note that the

affordability of land along Broad Street has prompted many retailers to buy their own buildings.

The high vacancy rates combined with the area’s low lease rates (below $13 per square foot) are indicative of a “soft” retail market. However, as with housing, the overall retail market conditions do not reflect conditions for specific areas in the neighborhood. Using West Broad Street as an example, there are at least three distinct sub-districts for various types of retail within the neighborhood.

The West Broad Street corridor has 75% of West Franklinton’s overall ground floor retail space, followed by Sullivant Avenue (18%), and the remainder is scattered in five nodes in the neighborhood (7%). Retail Corridors Total Ground Floor Total Occupied Corridor Retail Space (SF) Ground Floor SF Occupancy Rate West Broad Street 213,543 176,795 82.8% Sullivant Avenue 52,256 35,468 67.9% Other 20,006 17,036 85.1% Greenlawn Avenue 8,796 5,826 Mound Street 3,178 3,178 Rich Street 2,608 2,608 Town Street 4,284 4,284 West Park Avenue 1,140 1,140 Total 285,805 229,299 80.2%

Sullivant Avenue is the corridor that is struggling the most with occupancy levels. Significant disinvestment has occurred along the corridor and nearly all of the vacant space requires substantial renovation to attract a retailer and patrons to the area.

Visibility and traffic volumes are essential considerations for retailers when choosing store locations. West Broad Street has high traffic volumes throughout the entire corridor peaking at an average daily traffic (ADT) count of 25,405 vehicles in Downtown Franklinton.

Mound Street east of Central Avenue has traffic counts of approximately 22,000 vehicles. 1. Retail – Tenant Types

The Food Services and Drinking Places retail category (NAICS Code 722), populated by restaurants and tavern establishments, is the leading tenant type in West Franklinton representing 30% of the retail tenants. This is also the leading retail tenant category throughout Franklin County indicated by the low population to retailer ratio in the county (461 persons per food services/drinking place establishment).

Retail Tenant Types by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) West Franklinton Average Population NAICS Number of Retail Population Per Per Establishment Code Description Businesses Establishment Franklin County, OH* 722 Food Services and Drinking Places 23 384 461 445 Food and Beverage 18 491 2,059 441 Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers 9 981 3,091 8111 Automobile Repair and Maintenance 8 1,104 2,606 447110 Gas Stations with Convenience Stores 5 1,766 4,041 812 Personal and Laundry Services 2 4,415 1,520 446 Health and Personal Care 2 4,415 3,417 451 Sporting Goods, Hobby, Books and Music 2 4,415 7,036 522298 All other Nondepository Credit Intermediation 2 4,415 34,173 448 Clothing and Accessories 1 8,830 2,664 6244 Child Day Care Services 1 8,830 2,932 522110 Commercial Banking 1 8,830 3,115 453 Miscellaneous 1 8,830 3,304 443 Electronics and Appliances 1 8,830 6,295 452 General Merchandise 1 8,830 7,077 *US Census Bureau County Business Patterns; ESRI Incorporated (population)

The lower population per food services and drinking places ratio of West Franklinton is attributed to the dynamic of Downtown Franklinton which draws patrons from well outside the neighborhood. All of the restaurants, except for one fast food establishment, are located on West Broad Street. The sit-down casual and full-service restaurants are generally in Downtown Franklinton and fast food restaurants are near the West Broad Street/I-70 interchange.

The second leading retail tenant type in West Franklinton is Food and Beverage (NAICS code 445). This category includes neighborhood markets and convenience stores which collectively occupy more than 50,000 square feet of space or nearly one- fourth of the area’s occupied ground floor retail. The corner markets continue to play an important role in the neighborhood, especially with an estimated 30% of the residents without a vehicle (source: American Community Survey). However, notably most of the small markets remained in business over the past two decades despite the decline of one-third of the population. The result is a disproportionately high share of convenience markets 914 West Broad Street serving the neighborhood.

Auto sales and services businesses make up slightly more than 20% of the areas retail business. At nearly 50,000 total square feet of retail space, West Franklinton has a higher than average share of auto-oriented space. In two comparable urban retail corridors, the south portion of Columbus’ Clintonville neighborhood and Cleveland’s East 185th Street District, the total square footage of occupied auto-oriented business is 31,820 and 31,228 total square feet, respectively. The 43,938 square feet of occupied auto-oriented business on Broad Street is 1.4 times greater than that of comparable markets.

Aside from corner markets/convenience stores and auto-oriented businesses, retail businesses in the area are largely service oriented, including printing/copying, day care centers, laundromat and bank services. Other businesses include a bicycle shop, hair salon, firearms store, cell phone and accessories, general merchandise, pharmacy, pawn shop and used furniture store.

2. Retail Opportunities: Broad Street

There is an estimated 516,595 total square feet of ground floor space along West Broad Street in West Franklinton. Retail uses account for one-third of the space and nearly another third is vacant. The former Graham Ford automotive dealership site accounts for more than half of the vacant space.

The core downtown area of West Franklinton (800 and 900 blocks of West Broad) has a low vacancy rate at 4.5%. This area includes the highest share of retail trade and food and drink businesses. Conversely, the middle area of West Broad (1000 through 1300 blocks) has very high vacancies and less than one third (28.9%) of the ground floor space is used by a retailer. Much of the vacant retail space in this area has deferred maintenance issues and requires prospective business owners to make significant upfront investments in order to make the space marketable and functional.

Photo of vacant stretch of properties in middle portion of West Broad Street

Two-thirds of the ground floor space along the West Gateway portion of West Broad (1400 and 1500 blocks) is used by retailers. The vacancy rate among the ground floor space is relatively low at 9.1%.

The ground floor space along the 700 block of West Broad Street is dominated by the former Graham Ford site and the office building at 770 West Broad Street occupied by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s Operation Support Center.

a. Downtown Franklinton The 800 and 900 blocks of West Broad Street represent the core area of Downtown Franklinton. Downtown Franklinton is noteworthy for its close concentration of restaurants.

Core Downtown Franklinton

Mt. Carmel

Expansion of retail into the 700 and 1000 blocks of West Broad Street is currently challenging because pedestrian flow is hindered by physical breaks in architecture, open parking lots, and lack of interactive uses.

Near-Term Opportunities (5 years)

The restaurants in West Franklinton have made the downtown a destination for workers, residents, and visitors, laying a foundation for the downtown going forward.

A review of other urban districts in Central Ohio indicates that food and beverage establishments make up nearly one-third of the retail space in downtown areas. With restaurants at one-fourth of the retail space in the 800 to 900 blocks of West Franklinton, Downtown Franklinton has the potential to expand its food services business. Health and Personal Care and Clothing and Accessories categories were also underserved (refer to NAICS table on page 13).

Near-term opportunities in Downtown Franklinton exist for an additional 10,000 to 15,000 square feet of retail space, including, but not limited to:

• Fast/casual restaurant • Specialty food, coffee shop, ice cream • Consignment shop • Tavern • Barber shop and hair salon

16| Page

Key factors to consider to capitalize on near-term opportunities include pedestrian friendly access and ample parking, which could include the following elements:

• Patrons must be able to safely cross Broad Street • Outdoor seating at restaurants • If necessary, valet service to supplement lot parking • On-street parking

Long-Term Opportunities (10 years+)

The maturation of retail in a downtown or urban core environment generally starts with food and beverage establishments, and is followed by resident/business services and visitor/tourist-oriented business.

With increased activity in a pedestrian friendly downtown, support will exist for more visitor/tourist-oriented retail, including, but not limited to:

• Antique stores • Gift/hobby/book store • Vintage shop • More restaurants

One of the biggest challenges will be finding available and suitable space for these uses.

Mount Carmel West Potential Repositioning

Possible changes to the Mount Carmel West campus may result in transferring inpatient beds out of the area; thereby repositioning the hospital to focus more on outpatient services. The nursing college function would remain, as would the emergency department and other ambulatory services.

The potential loss of more than 70,000 inpatient days from this possible transition will likely result in a small decline in restaurant, gas station and convenience sales. Losing this many visits over a one-year period is akin to losing half the patron volume of one successful full-service restaurant. The loss will certainly lower retail spending volumes in the short-term for the neighborhood, especially among restaurants, but is not expected

to adversely impact the overall retail market. This will be less of a factor if Downtown Franklinton is able to capitalize on some of the current momentum for the area to leverage redevelopment.

Projected employee loss from any repositioning of Mt. Carmel is unknown as more employees may transition to other outpatient and administrative areas of the hospital. Currently an estimated 75% to 80% of the hospital employees use the cafeteria facilities, as compared to 40% at the Mount Carmel campus located on East Broad Street. The East Broad Street campus includes Mount Carmel East as well as the Mount Carmel Corporate Services Center, which contains administrative functions for the entire health system. Because of half-hour lunch periods, dining outside the campus for employees is difficult, especially at full-service sit-down restaurants. This presents an opportunity for quick service food and beverage businesses near the hospital and Downtown Franklinton (in addition to the restaurants operating within the hospital).

b. West Gateway

The freeway portion of the West Broad Street corridor generally includes the 1400 and 1500 blocks of West Broad Street. This area is primarily an auto-oriented retail corridor with interstate access and nearly 12,000 employees within one mile of the interchange.

West Gateway (1400 & 1500 Blks)

Approximately one-third of the ground floor retail space is connected to a drive-thru. According to QSR Magazine’s Drive-Thru Performance Study, as much as 60% to 70% of revenue for some fast food restaurants is through drive-thru sales. With no other fast food chains within a one-mile radius of the Ohio Department of Transportation headquarters, more service-oriented convenience retail potential for daytime employees exists, including, but not limited to:

• Dry cleaner • Bank/ATM • Florist • Casual Restaurant • Car wash

3. Sullivant Avenue

Sullivant Avenue is West Franklinton’s second most active commercial corridor in terms of traffic volume and retail offerings. Residential housing accounts for more than two-thirds of parcels along Sullivant Avenue. There is approximately 35,000 square feet of occupied ground floor retail located in eight nodes/intersections along the corridor.

Share of Retail Space - Sullivant Avenue Other Retail, 7% Auto Sales & Service, 14%

Market/ Convenience, 58% Tavern, 21%

Markets/convenience stores account for 20,000 square feet or 58% of the retail space. Sullivant Avenue has three of West Franklinton’s five taverns and includes the neighborhood’s only hair salon.

D. Planning Area Aspirations

Resident and stakeholder aspirations of what West Franklinton could become were identified during the course of public workshops and online surveys.

1. Grocery Store

A full-service grocery store was the most sought after retail business to add to West Franklinton. While the current demographics, spending patterns and market conditions do not support a grocery store in the short-term, the area could potentially attract a grocery store operator in the long-term under the following scenario.

Household growth and income diversity in Franklinton are key to attracting a full-service grocery store and even more resident-specific retail. The average household spending on food and beverage (F&B) at home for Franklinton residents is $2,100, nearly half that of the average City of Columbus houshold ($4,000). If neighborhood growth continues to be concentrated at the same income level, the household base in Franklinton would have to more than double (from 3,600 to 8,500) to support the average supermarket which has gross annual sales of $17.8 million. Households Required to Support Average Grocery Store Total Households Median Household Average Household Spending on Required to Support Area Income Food & Beverage at Home Grocery Sales Franklinton $20,000 $2,100 8,500 City of Columbus $40,000 $4,000 4,500 Columbus MSA $50,000 $5,000 3,500

As a 10-year goal, increasing the household base to 5,900 could reach the grocery store threshold sales amount of $17.8 Million (refer to the following chart).

The need to have a more income-diverse neighborhood is even more important with the recent reduction of funding in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program.

It is important to note that obtaining the spending power on its own may not be enough to attract a grocer. There are many site-related criteria and corporate decisions that factor into location decisions for such businesses.

In the interim, there are several strategies that could be employed.

• Continue to get local market owners to improve curb appeal and sell fresh produce as they did at the Broad & Princeton Market. • Explore further expansion and partnership opportunities for Franklinton Gardens. • Start a cooperative as was done on the east side (Near East Side Cooperative). • Incentivize a small grocer (approximately 15,000 square feet) as a tenant of a larger mixed-use development. Example: a 16,000 square foot grocery was built in Cleveland partially funded through a local foundation and federal funds (Constantino’s Market in Uptown). • Seek federal funds available to “Food Deserts.” • Attract Project Related Investment (PRI) from local foundation(s). 2. Reuse of Graham Ford dealership

It is anticipated that the former Graham Ford dealership will be available for reuse next year following environmental cleanup.

The overall size, high visibility and access of this site make it ideal as a potential regional site. Unless there is a mixed-use redevelopment of the site, it is unlikely that a grocery will be sited at this location.

The buildings on the site include a substantial amount of underground parking that should be considered in any reuse of the property. This may facilitate a mixed-use approach. 3. Increase Local Employment Opportunities

Local employment opportunities are vital to the long term redevelopment of Franklinton.

The SPARC development on West Mound Street, with its planned venue, outlot restaurants and lodging can be a catalyst for the Mound Street-Harmon Avenue Corridor to help attract new businesses / employees. The trend among technology and industrial employers is to be in more mixed-use environments which offer more than just a place to work.

The 1000 through 1300 blocks of West Broad Street have more than 50,000 square feet of vacant ground floor space. This area should be considered for improved employment options, including incubator businesses, and trade schools.

There has been some interest from businesses to locate in this middle section of Broad Street (Downtown West) but the interior space is typically in very bad condition and dissuades tenants from considering the space.

West Broad Street from the Scioto Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization District River to Central Avenue is one of (Franklinton #1 on map below) the six Neighborhood Commercial Revitalization (NCR) Districts in Columbus. The NCR program offers facade and storefront renovation grants among other programs. In 2014, the program was funded with an additional $360,000 to begin a new interior grants program for qualifying projects.

The utilization of the interior program coupled with the façade program can provide this area with much more marketable space.

Interior improvements to buildings alone will likely attract a couple of businesses. The occupancy of more space by new businesses could be accelerated by implementing a tiered-rent program targeting new businesses/start-ups. In other communities, this type of program has been administered and funded by the local Community Development Corporation.

Affordable space is paramount for new start-ups and this area has a mix of building types that can cater to a wide variety of businesses including:

• Office space, • Retail/gallery space, • Flex space (small portion of finished space for office, retail, or showroom with raw space for assembly, storage, distribution, etc.)

A combination of the programs and actions outlined above could provide the type of low- cost/low-risk space (and proximity to downtown) needed by startups that are graduating from incubator, accelerator, and/or co-working programs, and might be initiated by the city (Columbus 2020), Franklinton Development Association, CCAD, OSU, and many other organizations.

The success and redevelopment of Downtown Franklinton and surrounding areas will be an important part of attracting small businesses to West Franklinton.
