TYPICAL REDEVELOPMENT EAST OF EDGEMERE ROAD

ZONE 4 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT WEST OF EDGEMERE ROAD

MAINTAIN THE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL FOCUS IN ZONE 4, WITH A BLEND OF OWNER-OCCUPIED CONDOMINIUMS, LUXURY RENTAL APARTMENTS AND SENIOR LIVING UNITS.

LIMIT RETAIL AND OFFICE DEVELOPMENT TO THE EXISTING COMMERCIAL AREA IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ZONE 4.

MOST OF THE REMAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR REDEVELOPMENT IS IN THE WESTERN HALF OF ZONE 4. CURRENT ZONING ALLOWS FOR GREATER DENSITY, BUT DEED RESTRICTIONS COULD IMPACT THE ULTIMATE BUILD OUT.

ZONE 4 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

RESIDENTIAL PROXIMITY SLOPE RESTRICTIONS WILL BE MAINTAINED TO PROTECT THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL AREAS NORTH OF BANDERA.

NEW CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF FOUR STORIES IN HEIGHT AND INCLUDE ON-SITE PARKING FOR RESIDENTS AND GUESTS – PREFERABLY UNDERGROUND.

A GENERAL WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT 4-STORY CONSTRUCTION IN RETURN FOR SMALLER BUILDING FOOTPRINTS AND MORE GREEN SPACE.

ZONE 4 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL

HIGHER DENSITY PROJECTS ARE ENVISIONED ALONG THE NORTHWEST HIGHWAY FRONTAGES.

EFFORTS TO FACILITATE PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY WITHIN ZONE 4 ARE ENCOURAGED.

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

PAST --- PRESENT --- FUTURE

ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED IN THE 1950’S AS THE PREMIER RETAIL CENTER FOR NORTH DALLAS

HAS EVOLVED INTO ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL OFFICE SUB-MARKETS

HAS POTENTIAL TO BECOME A VIBRANT MIXED-USE URBAN CENTER

ZONE 1 – PRESTON CENTER

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

TRAFFIC CONGESTION

OVER HALF OF THE TRAFFIC ON NORTHWEST HIGHWAY ARE REGIONAL COMMUTERS

LACK OF FULL TOLLWAY INTERCHANGES AT WALNUT HILL LANE AND LOVERS LANE EXACERBATES PRESTON

CENTER TRAFFIC

NORTHWEST HIGHWAY / TOLLWAY INTERSECTION IS POORLY DESIGNED

OBSOLETE DESIGN OF PRESTON CENTER PARKING GARAGE COMPOUNDS TRAFFIC CONGESTION

ZONE 1 – PRESTON CENTER

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

AVAILABILITY OF PARKING

CONSULTANTS’ STUDY CONCLUDED THAT CURRENT PARKING WAS ADEQUATE TO

SUPPORT EXISTING LAND USES IN PRESTON CENTER

ADVISORY TASK FORCE CONCLUDED THAT PARKING IS IN SHORT SUPPLY NOW,

CONTRARY TO THE CONSULTANTS’ FINDINGS AND THAT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PARKING

MUST BE BUILT TO ACCOMMODATE NEW DEVELOPMENT

ZONE 1 – PRESTON CENTER

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

AVAILABILITY OF PARKING

AT TIME THE PARKING STUDY WAS CONDUCTED, APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE ADJACENT RETAIL

SPACE WAS VACANT

CONSULTANT INCLUDED RESTRICTED PARKING SPACES AS BEING AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC PARKING.

THE PARKING STUDY DID NOT ASSESS THE ADDITIONAL PARKING NEEDED TO

ACCOMMODATE THE VISION FOR PRESTON CENTER

ZONE 1 – PRESTON CENTER

RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE UPPER FLOORS

ZONE 1 – PRESTON CENTER

ADVISORY TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT PRESENTATION

COMPLICATIONS

THE CENTERPIECE OF THE AREA IS AN OBSOLETE, UNSIGHTLY PARKING GARAGE

CONTROL OF THE EXISTING GARAGE IS COMPLICATED AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

REQUIRE UNANIMOUS CONSENT

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP IS FRAGMENTED AND MOST INDIVIDUAL SITES ARE TOO SMALL TO ACHIEVE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE AREA
