Book excerpt: University of Washington Abstract Feasibility Analysis Case Study: Seattle Central Community College's Development in the Surplus Space of Sound Transit's Capitol Hill Light Rail Station Janice Ruth Jarman Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor George Rolfe Department of Urban Design and Planning This is a case study about Seattle Central Community College's (SCCC) aspirations to expand its campus with the development of the surplus space above Sound Transit's Capitol Hill Station on sites A, B, and C. Scott Kirkpatrick, Transit Oriented Development Manager for Sound Transit, asked me to assist Dr. A. Barretto Ogilvie, with an evaluation of the viability of the development. The Regional Community Health Education Center project consisted of 38% housing, 49% educational facilities for healthcare professionals, and 13% retail. In March 2009, a preliminary financial feasibility analysis on the housing aspect of the Regional Community Health Education Center project showing positive financial feasibility was prepared and presented to Dr. Ogilvie. His response was to shelve the feasibility analysis and stop the project based on the assumption that the project would be constrained by citizen involvement and objections to SCCC's utilization of so much valuable Broadway street frontage. At that point, the feasibility task evolved into a case study to identify and examine some of the constraints SCCC would face if the project moved forward. The constraints identified include: 1) uncertainty about the impact of community involvement; 2) loss of community college capital project funding due to the 2008-2009 recession causing state budget cuts to higher education; 3) time required by SCCC to seek alternative funding sources, accomplish the Major Institution Master Plan process, achieve building zoning changes for consistent heights on the site, and 4) Sound Transit's requirement for timely performance. A review and update on the status of these constraints, both as barriers and opportunities affecting SCCC's project as of December 2011, with an examination of effects on the process, concludes the case study. Thus, the study is a map of a process that moved a valued development site from potential conflict among stakeholders through negotiation, discovery, and mitigation to potential satisfaction, useful for those planning similar development projects.

Book Convention Center Follies

Download or read book Convention Center Follies written by Heywood T. Sanders and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American cities have experienced a remarkable surge in convention center development over the last two decades, with exhibit hall space growing from 40 million square feet in 1990 to 70 million in 2011—an increase of almost 75 percent. Proponents of these projects promised new jobs, new private development, and new tax revenues. Yet even as cities from Boston and Orlando to Phoenix and Seattle have invested in more convention center space, the return on that investment has proven limited and elusive. Why, then, do cities keep building them? Written by one of the nation's foremost urban development experts, Convention Center Follies exposes the forces behind convention center development and the revolution in local government finance that has privileged convention centers over alternative public investments. Through wide-ranging examples from cities across the country as well as in-depth case studies of Chicago, Atlanta, and St. Louis, Heywood T. Sanders examines the genesis of center projects, the dealmaking, and the circular logic of convention center development. Using a robust set of archival resources—including internal minutes of business consultants and the personal papers of big city mayors—Sanders offers a systematic analysis of the consultant forecasts and promises that have sustained center development and the ways those forecasts have been manipulated and proven false. This record reveals that business leaders sought not community-wide economic benefit or growth but, rather, to reshape land values and development opportunities in the downtown core. A probing look at a so-called economic panacea, Convention Center Follies dissects the inner workings of America's convention center boom and provides valuable lessons in urban government, local business growth, and civic redevelopment.
