Book excerpt: At a time of breakneck development in Seattle, mixed-use developments are seen as a way to provide increased housing options for the city’s newcomers, concentrate and strengthen existing commercial corridors, and protect surrounding historic single-family development. However, while planning theory suggests that ground-floor retail in mixed-use developments plays a crucial role activating neighborhood public spaces, in practice, retail vacancies in newly-built developments are dragging down Seattle’s commercial districts and contributing to public unease over the pace and nature of development. The study below evaluates eight separate mixed-use developments, completed between 2007 and 2017, for characteristics contributing to either occupancy or vacancy on their ground floors. The findings indicate that retail vacancy results from an imbalance in the incentives between the City, the developer, and the business community. These three actors, together the three main stakeholders in mixed-use retail development, each pull on the building process in different ways and must cooperate if new properties are to be successful.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you build community? Is it the building, services, and amenities that we build into communities? Or is it the people, who use buildings, services, and amenities in communities to have experienced, and build relationships with one another. Mixed-income/mixed-use communities play a unique role in providing housing and amenities to a variety of individuals, and potentially fostering a sense of community cohesion. Yesler Terrace, a new mixed-income/mixed-use community in development, created a timely opportunity to characterize the current level and features of community cohesion in preliminary stages of redevelopment at this site. Community cohesion and neighborhood harmony can affect the health of individuals and the community as a whole. This evaluation was completed in three parts: site observations and analysis; focus groups conducted with Seattle Housing Authority residents; and one-on-one interviews conducted with market- rate residents living at the Batik building. Results reveal that SHA and market-rate residents enjoy the new spaces but yearn for more interaction within the community. SHA residents reported little connection with the perceived wealthier market-rate community. Market-rate residents wanted to engage with SHA residents but didn't want to seem like they are taking over the community. Both communities primarily used their local spaces and did not share communal areas as often as they would like. All Yesler Terrace resident saw an opportunity to foster space that builds organic relationships. There is limited, but generally supportive evidence of overall community cohesion at this early stage of redevelopment at Yesler Terrace, plus promising expressions of a desire for greater cohesion. SHA can explore at different procedural, conceptual and methodological recommendations to deepen the agencies understanding of cohesion at Yesler Terrace. Partnering with market-rate leaders, SHA can implement changes that will foster an environment open to all residents. For example, lobbies across the community can be activated and used as community spaces, welcoming to all in the community. SHA can discover its evolving role in building community at Yesler Terrace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixed-use neighborhoods, which feature increased housing/job variety and density, can create pedestrian and bicycle-friendly environments by reducing dependency on vehicles and traffic congestion, and shortening distances between housing, workplaces and other destinations. Municipal regulations are vital to modern mixed-use developments due to their capability to control the direction of metropolitan growth. In this research, I have attempted to make a correlation between local regulations and current neighborhood development patterns in three well known, mixed-use neighborhoods using the case study approach. Three mixed-use neighborhoods, the North Pearl District (NPD; Portland, Oregon), South Lake Union (SLU; Seattle, Washington) and False Creek North (FCN; Vancouver, Canada), were chosen for this case study research. I examined and visualized the local regulations that pertain to mixed-use development of each neighborhood using Illustrator and SketchUp. I also analyzed and discussed U.S. Census information, including households per acre, average household size and household vehicle occupancy. The investigation indicates that among the three neighborhoods, the mixed-use regulations of FCN are the most straightforward and clear. This is reflected in the consistency between regulations and current land uses. The overall mixed degree in NPD is relatively large likely due to its incentive regulations, making itself as a highly walkable neighborhood. The local regulations in SLU are the most complicated, and focus on attracting innovative firms. In conclusion, we have conducted a study to investigate the development of mixed-use neighborhoods by scrutinizing local regulations and analyzing current situations and statistical data. The results indicated that the straightforward and incentive regulations, such as legalized neighborhood land use plan and bonus floor area ratios, benefit the mixed-use developments of neighborhoods by increasing the efficiency in land use and maximizing the mixed-use degree, thus leading to a compact, walkable and vital community.
