ORD.#2017-1-8467; BK 35 NEXT N IGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION REPORT Planning Director Steve Ervin gave a report regarding the selection of the next neighborhood for neighborhood revitalization. Details of the report are provided below in an excerpt from the City Commission Highlights prepared by Pam Spencer, Public Information Officer. "Next ei hborhood Revitalization Report Planning Director Steve Ervin made a presentation to the Paducah Board of Commissioners of the work since last August by the Planning Department and the Urban Renewal & Community Development Agency (URCD ) regarding the study of the next neighborhood for revitalization. Since 2007, the City has been focused on a comprehensive revitalization of the Fountain Avenue Neighborhood which has been a very success 1 project. Over the last few months, the Planning Department and URCDA worked to select 888 JANUARY 24, 2017 criteria in which to score five potential neighborhoods for revitalization. Ervin says, "The criteria w designed to put less weight on the deficiencies of a neighborhood and attempt to focus more on the available assets of a neighborhood and its potential for sustained growth and development." The eig scoring criteria used are 1. Number of neighborhood and/or adjacent neighborhood assets; 2. Ability to attract private reinvestment; 3. Ability to obtain high sales comps; 4. Governmental capacity to attack neighborhood problems such as crime, code enforcement, and infrastructure; 5. Proximity to schools, shopping centers, social services, recreation, and pharmacies; 6. Achievable rehabilitation costs; 7. Positive spillover -effect from adjacent neighborhoods; and 8. Obstacles to proceed. The five neighborhoods under consideration are Terrell Addition, Frenchtown, Glendale, Guthrie, ar (see boundary details below). Planning staff researched and compiled data for each neighborhood including total land acres, number and type of parcels (residential, commercial, vacant, industrial, institutional, park, parking, conservancy), average residential sales price, a code enforcement score, household income, housing stock rating, and percent renter versus owner -occupied. Kolb URCDA scored the neighborhoods using the eight criteria at its meeting in January. URCDA unanimous gave Terrell Addition the lowest score which means it would have the highest chance of being a suc essf project. This is the neighborhood just west of the current Fountain Avenue Neighborhood Project. Valer Pollard with URCDA says the board members looked at each neighborhood's positives and deficiencies and the ability to attract private investment. Pollard says, "The Board members were pretty consiste�rit in their neighborhood ratings." Ervin says, "There are many neighborhoods within the City limits that could benefit from redevelopment efforts. Therefore, it is important that the selection process not only includes an assessment of a neighborhood's current conditions but that it also includes a comprehensive evaluation of the neighborhood's potential to have a sustainable and positive impact on the community at large." Ci Manager Jeff Pederson says, "This is a limited role for the City to play. But ultimately the large maj rity of investment would occur privately over time." The Paducah Board of Commissioners will review the information presented to them at this meetin and the recommendation by URCDA. Once the Commission makes a decision, the next steps in the pro ess would include neighborhood meetings, the preparation and approval of a revitalization plan, and public hearings. Then, the Planning Department would be in charge of implementing the plan over the nex several years in a process similar to the Fountain Avenue Neighborhood Revitalization Project." Neighborhoods: • Terrell Addition — Boundaries include Park Avenue, North 215` Street, Monroe Street and just west c Fountain Avenue. • Frenchtown — Boundaries include Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, North 9th Street, Jefferson Street, a North 13th Street. • Glendale — Boundaries include Mildred Street, the western boundary of Oak Grove Cemetery, Park and H.C.
