The primary discussions of redevelopment focused on the existing commercial properties within Town Center North. Generally, the public enjoys the existing residential areas, finding the western half of Town Center North to be a quiet, enjoyable area within the otherwise busy city. Future redevelopment of the commercial properties will require careful balancing of the fiscal needs of a redevelopment plan with the low -scale, village environment desired by the residents. While there is a preference for redevelopment of the commercial properties, it is not at the risk of redevelopment that mirrors the east side of Collins Avenue. Further, due to traffic concerns, there is not a strong appetite for new residential units within the commercial properties, upon redevelopment. However, some were comfortable with reasonable residential density, if it were necessary to facilitate redevelopment of the commercial sites —contingent upon adoption of revised regulations that controlled scale and mass and ensured the public realm was emphasized in the design process. Approval of larger scale projects may be granted when the city determines the plans demonstrably contribute to the implementation of this Plan. Upon redevelopment, the establishment of an interior street and block system was preferred. This would provide space away from Collins Avenue for a pedestrian - focused environment. There is a strong desire for the creation of open spaces and gathering spaces throughout TCN. Overall, the existing residential areas are enjoyed and there is a strong sense of protection for this neighborhood. Sample rendering for conceptual TCN redevelopment.
