We are also extremely grateful for the assistance provided by Economic Development Director David Schroedel and City Engineer Eugene Esser. They, along with their staff, provided the necessary resources to help us complete the work. Sincere gratitude is also conveyed to the members of the City Council, Planning Commission and Master Plan Steering Committee. This study could not have been completed without their participation and commitment to the process. Master Plan Steering Committee Mr. David Schroedel, Economic Development Director Mr. Eugene Esser, City Engineer Mr. Roy Stewart, City Council Representative Mr. John Tamer, Planning Commission Representative Mr. Kerry Smith, Planning Commission Representative Mr. William Rowe, Broadview Heights Resident Mr. John Tepfenhart, Broadview Heights Resident Mr. David Kaminski, Building Commissioner Chapter One Executive Summary commercially available demographic data from ESRI Business Analyst Online, which is a Web-based solution that combines GIS technology with extensive demographic, consumer spending, and business data for For more than twenty years, the City of Broadview Heights has been the entire United States. focused on defining a vision for its Town Center District. This focused After analyzing the existing conditions and market data, the planning Town Center study defines a new vision for the district and describes team developed a series of Guiding Principles for Future Development the expectations for future development. To start this process, the City and constructed a Desired Framework Diagram. Those two documents assembled a committed group of individuals to direct the effort, and this then became the foundation for all of the subsequent recommendations. stimulate economic development and preserve and enhance the image of Broadview Heights. The planning process began by examining the previous planning studies and became a collaborative effort between the G2M planning team and the Town Center Master Plan Steering Committee. The City must now adopt the plan’s recommendations, promote them to the larger community, and insure that the guiding principles outlined in the Master Plan are followed. One of the first tasks of the Steering Committee was to finalize a list of goals and objectives to guide the development of the Master Plan. After reviewing the previous goal statements from the 1988 and 1998 Town Center Master Plans and gathering feedback from committee members and other interested parties, the planning team developed nine new planning objectives and established a single overriding goal for the Town Center. The Steering Committee then adopted the goal and nine objectives for the Town Center as shown at right. Create a dynamic, easily identifiable Town Center District that can accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend activity, incorporating a mix of uses that are easily accessible and pedestrian friendly. Objectives 1. The District’s Design must be “Market Driven” and responsive to economic realities. 2. The District’s Design should permit a mix of uses, with a substantial portion of the retail mix group, along with city staff, planning commission and council members tackled the challenge of developing a workable plan that would both Plan Goal The Desired Framework Plan and the Guiding Principles for Future De- devoted to meeting existing community needs. The design should limit convenience and off velopment, shown on the following page, are the building blocks of the price retail. Town Center Master Plan. They should be used as a benchmark for evaluating future proposals. All of the work prepared by the consultant planning team after the Desired Framework Diagram was created is based on that framework diagram and will aid in the future decision-making process. For example, the Outline Design Guidelines presented in Chapter 6 are based on the framework diagram and guiding principles. Those guidelines, once fully developed, will more clearly articulate what the community expects from developers and property owners. In contrast, the Illustrative Master Plan presented in this report represents just one of the possible solutions that would achieve the desired planning outcome. It is simply an interpretation of the guiding principles and is not intended to be the final solution for creating a dynamic and active Town Center. 3. The District’s Design should encourage a mixed use environment with a strong pedestrian scale along with enough critical mass to sustain it. 4. The District’s Design should be coordinated with the existing retail development on the adjacent quadrants of the intersection. 5. The District’s Design should create a strong sense of local identity, allowing small shops to coexist with national retail chains. The District should adopt quality architectural standards to give the Town Center District the proper sense of scale and place. 6. The District’s Design should include a clearly defined public area within the proposed retail center linked to restaurants and entertainment uses and should include strong pedestrian connections to other city facilities. 7. The District’s Design should encourage a broad mix of residential opportunities intended to reach singles, young couples, empty nesters and others not interested in traditional single family The primary tools to be used to help direct private development with- home ownership. in the District are the Desired Framework Diagram and the associated 8.

From there, the planning team developed a Desired Framework Diagram which identified potential gateways, major circulation routes, focal points, and key pedestrian and vehicular access points. Suggested land uses were then assigned to each development parcel, and the resulting framework plan was reviewed by the Steering Committee. The Framework Plan was revised based on Committee comments and is reproduced in Chapter V - Physical Plan. What competition exists in the market? How do traffic volumes, roadway capacity and access impact the development opportunity? illustrating how the major organizational pieces (gateways, focal points, pedestrian and vehicular thoroughfares, etc.) of the Town Center should be organized. These thoughts and ideas were incorporated into the final Desired Framework Diagram that is described in Chapter V. The Steering Committee also met with Planning Commission and Council to present the final report. What does the Retail Gap Analysis indicate? Detailed information on the retail analysis can be found in Chapter IV – Market Opportunities. Public Meetings Members of the consultant planning team had the opportunity to meet with the City of Broadview Heights Planning Commission on several occasions to provide progress updates and receive additional guidance on the goals of the master plan. The first meeting was a brief introductory discussion at the February WHAT IS THE MARKET TELLING US? 24th, 2010 Planning Commission Meeting, where the Planning Consul- In order to understand the retail market, the planning consultant retained the planning process and expectations.

These objectives are further reflected in the Guiding Principles for Future Development presented in the executive summary and later in this report. By drafting and adopting these objectives early in the process, the Steering Committee communicated their priorities to Density Expectations & Desires Through the course of meetings and discussions, it became apparent that there was a desire for the development to include a Traditional Downtown “Main Street” component with upscale Lifestyle tenants. Several participants expressed concern regarding the traditional placement of parking in front of retail buildings and the need to minimize convenience and off price retail. The planning team attempted to address the concerns by developing a framework plan that was heavily pedestrian focused with high quality landscape and public amenities. The Steering Committee recognized that in order to market a viable plan to the development Objectives 1. The District’s Design must be “Market Driven” and responsive to economic realities. 2.

Core Town Center Area The major focus of this study will concentrate on the Town Center Core area, which generally consists of the land area in the four quadrants of Royalton Rd / Rt. 82 the Broadview and Royalton Road intersection, as illustrated in Figure 3. The northeast quadrant contains the existing Wellpointe shopping center and is fully developed. The southeast quadrant contains a limited amount of retail commercial buildings along with a low density office development. On the northwest quadrant there are several small convenience retail centers and other commercial properties. There is also a large parcel of undeveloped land and a small multi-family apartment development. Municipal Campus The southwest quadrant is generally undeveloped with the exception of the northeast corner of the quadrant. The parcels in the southwest quadrant are also encumbered by significant topography and a small stream and several delineated wetlands. The stream channel and wetlands form a natural boundary and will serve to define the limits of development NORTH parcels.

At the present time this intersection has not been developed to its full potential. An existing garden center on the southwest quadrant and vacant and under utilized store fronts on the southeast quadrant visually detract from the intersections development potential. The previous master plans contemplated the creation of a loop road connecting the district. The initial section of the loop road, Town Center Drive, has been constructed in the southeast quadrant of the intersection. The Steering Committee expressed a strong desire to extend the Existing signage typical of the District. - Coordinated signage, graphics and landscaping would help property owners reinforce the district identity. loop road through all four quadrants; however, topography and existing development in the northeast quadrant will prohibit the road extension in that quadrant.

Coordinated signage, graphics, landscaping and architectural design standards would help reinforce the district’s identity. Existing conditions in the Broadview Heights Town Center area could not be adequately described without some mention of parking availability and its impact on development activity. The provision of parking has been an ongoing issue in the town center district because adequate parking is a necessary component of any successful development in the District. Additional parking is presently required to support activity in the Crossings Shopping Center. Any new development must address the parking needs of the end users. Consideration must also be given to any shared parking opportunities that may exist. Existing Del Corpo Landscaping Operation on the southwest corner of Route 82 and Broadview Road. Chapter III 3 Broadview Rd Physical Opportunity Diagram To summarize the predominant existing conditions in the Town Center, the consultant planning team prepared an Existing Opportunity Diagram (Figure 5) which highlights several key defining features of the study area. The Physical Opportunity diagram is a tool that illustrates how the major organizational pieces (major roads, stream channels and vehicular thoroughfares) come together to define opportunities in the Town Center. The Physical Opportunity Diagram is the foundation for the creation of the Desired Framework Diagram described in Chapter 5, Physical Plan. The Framework Diagram is the tool that communicates the conceptual Royalton Rd (rt 82) or “Big Idea” that was developed during discussions with the Steering Committee.

REGIONAL MALL Demographics & Trade Areas In order to understand population trends and income levels, we looked at the demographic data for the two closest trade areas (10-minute and 15-minute drive times) from Broadview Heights and compared them to the trade areas for several major regional and lifestyle projects in the area. By comparing Broadview Heights to those other locations, we can General merchandise or fashion-oriented offerings.

Typical GLA Range: 250,000 - 600,000 square feet Trade Area Size: 5-10 miles (10- to 15-minute drive time) While the Broadview Heights income levels are strong, upscale retailers focus on the number of higher income households when developing their location strategy. Each retailer is unique, but there is a high correlation between the number of household incomes over $100,000 and the success of a lifestyle center and its retailers.

Large power centers adjacent to Southpark Mall, Summit Mall and Parmatown Mall, along with Macedonia Commons severely restrict the opportunity to attract the number of large tenants that would be required to develop a successful power center. However, when we look at the trade area map illustrated in figure 9, we see that there is an opportunity for a retail project serving the 10-minute trade area. This would suggest that Broadview Heights may offer a geographic opportunity for a Community Center, provided that there is enough retail demand.

The retail gap analysis estimates retail spending potential for a retail trade area based upon population, income, and consumer spending patterns. By analyzing this data, one can determine the extent to which a community is or is not capturing its sales potential. Understanding the pattern of retail spending within the Broadview Heights Trade Areas will help us determine which retail sectors are exhibiting “surplus” and which sectors are exhibiting “leakage.” Retail sales surplus indicates that a community pulls consumers and retail dollars in from outside the trade area, thereby serving as a regional market. Conversely, when local demand for a specific product is not being met within a trade area, consumers are going elsewhere to shop, creating retail leakage. Retail strategies can be developed for specific retail sectors by analyzing the estimated amount of retail surpluses and leakages, giving retailers a snapshot of a community’s retail market potential. Generally, attraction or surplus categories signal particular strengths of a retail market, while leakage categories signal particular weaknesses. We have taken the income data for all the households within the three trade areas (10-minute drive times, 15-minute drive times and 20-minute drive times) and looked at people’s propensity to spend on certain items, then looked at the supply of those various retail uses within that trade area.

Opportunities are no longer limited to furniture stores and beverage as opportunities for building materials and some general merchandize retailers start to emerge. Additionally, an opportunity for specialty food stores, restaurants and entertainment start to develop. Those retail gaps increase significantly as we look at the 10-minute trade area. While there seems to be some capacity to add a book store, the volume is not large enough to justify one of the national book stores, which would be essential if the City was to attempt the development of a Lifestyle-type center. Based on the retail gap analysis, we believe there is a strong opportunity to develop a high quality Community Center. The project could be anchored by a large format general merchandise department store like Kohl’s, Target or Penney’s and could also contain a home improvement store like Lowes or Home Depot. In addition, a small specialty grocery store and a collection of full and limited service restaurants and small retail tenants, including health & personal care and apparel stores can be supported. Finally, we believe that some limited professional service office could be included within the core retail area to take advantage of the convenience nature of this type of retail. it an exact science. Rather, it provides the necessary input for the most important aspect of a retail development strategy – in our case, understanding the type of retailers that can be recruited to the district, which will determine the type of retail project that can be planned. We started by looking at the 20-minute drive time, which is the trade area for a regional or lifestyle type project. As indicated by the chart in Market Conclusion The existing demographic data provides useful information to help us determine the type and scale of retail project that can be developed in the Broadview Heights Town Center District.

The Desired Framework Diagram represents the understanding and synthesis of the existing and planned physical conditions, market opportunities, the Master Plan Goal and Objectives, as well as community desires. These elements can be interpreted as the ‘building blocks’ of the Town Center Master Plan. They should be used as a benchmark for evaluating future development and design proposals. Guiding Principles, Goals and Objectives objectives. Additionally, these groups can continue to be involved in future activities by providing comments, observations, support, and encouragement. Desired Framework Diagram The Desired Framework Diagram represents a culmination of analysis and discussion within the community regarding the ‘big picture’ or conceptual physical ideas behind the Town Center Master Plan. The Desired Framework Diagram is a tool for showing how the major physical pieces of the Town Center, such as connections, gateways, and neighborhood zones, should be organized in relation to each other and to the adjacent community. It highlights areas with predominantly similar development characteristics and patterns, and suggests a hierarchy between those spaces. Critical to the formulation of the Desired Framework Diagram is the establishment of Guiding Principles for Future Development that can be used to evaluate future development proposals. Those principles form the baseline upon which the planning recommendations, land use recommendations, zoning and design guidelines should be based. As future development projects are planned and reviewed, it is fundamental that they adhere to the guiding principles set forth by this Master Plan. The nine key objectives outlined in Chapters I and II should be used to guide future development in The Broadview Heights Town Center District. Starting with the Royalton Road – Broadview Road intersection and extending outward to the four quadrants, future development must be coordinated to establish a strong district identity and sense of place. While it is unlikely that the district will be developed under a single ownership, the district development guidelines will serve as a unifying force encouraging quality development. Partnerships between property owners, businesses, citizens, civic associations, governmental entities, and other groups must be actively encouraged and supported. These groups should help support the implementation of the plan’s goals and Chapter V 1 Guiding Principles for Future Development • Emphasize Royalton and Broadview Roads as the major east west wetlands and provide integrated pedestrian gathering places and na- and north south transportation corridors for the Town Center and ture walks as appropriate. establish the Broadview and Royalton Road intersection as a major focal point for the district. • and character that will allow it to be successful as a dynamic retail and commercial district. This can be accomplished through the use of decorative paving, landscaping or other architectural elements. Design internal circulation to encourage pedestrian interaction and activity by providing wide sidewalks, numerous small gathering places, and interesting landscape and hardscape. • Establish gateways (or an appropriate Town Center entry experience/identity) at the boundaries of the town center district, including the area south to Akins road and the Municipal Campus, North to Royalwood and east and west along Royalton road from Town Center Drive to Seneca Boulevard. • Create a distinct district identity through the use of consistent signage, street graphics, lighting, and landscaping. • Develop opportunities for a variety of multi-family residential housing types, primarily focused on market rate, for sale product. • Develop opportunities for professional and low density office space within the district, well connected to the retail core. • Improve intersection appeal and pedestrian safety by establishing distinctive cross walks and by making the major access points emphasize the Town Center Identity. • • Encourage sidewalk activity by developing outdoor seating, cafes and other retail displays that are visible and accessible from the pub- Develop focal points at the end of the proposed Town Center Loop Roads to visually anchor the street and reinforce the desired quality • • Town Center Retail lic streets. • Incorporate appropriate and attractive pedestrian amenities into all major pedestrian areas.

This illustrative plan is intended to demonstrate a possible alternative showing how the policies outlined in the Master Plan could be implemented and should be used as another tool for evaluating future projects within the Town Center. The Illustrative Plan is not intended to be viewed as a site plan, but rather a concept of potential development resulting from policies and principles outlined as part of the overall plan. The purpose of this graphic is to illustrate how proposed infrastructure changes, street and traffic modifications and building arrangements can work with the available land and market conditions. The Illustrative Plan drawing also provides a guide for physical improvements, showing concepts for new development and redevelopment opportunities by both public agencies and the private sector. The private sector is encouraged to work together with the public sector to develop alternative conceptual plans that support the Guiding Principles for Future Development. It is important to understand that before any final decisions are made regarding new development proposals within the Town Center, a great deal of attention will be necessary for the detailed planning, design and review of those projects. A new Town Center Zoning Ordinance along with Design Guidelines must also be developed to establish clear specifications for future development.. North Illustrative Master Plan Chapter V 3 The Northwest Neighborhood It is anticipated that the Master Plan will need to respond to changing market conditions and dynamics, and therefore, the organization of the physical development graphically depicted in the Illustrative Plan will change. However, the principles and policies from which they were founded must remain intact in order to preserve the underlying conceptual vision for the Town Center. The design concepts shown in the Illustrative Plan represent a synthesis of the consultant planning team’s understanding of existing physical conditions, market analysis, and extensive feedback by many participants throughout the planning process. Several recommendations shown in the Illustrative Plan will require specific studies from both an engineering and legal standpoint. Issues such as land acquisition, common drainage facilities and road alignment will need to be evaluated.

These amenities should include coordinated street furniture, trash and recycling containers, bus shelters, paving, landscaping and lighting. • Incorporate facilities for cyclists into street improvements and open space plans. Facilities should include appropriately designed bike lanes along with bike racks and storage opportunities. It is important that the Town Center establish a unique identity that is unlike anywhere else in Broadview Heights. The Town Center would benefit in many ways from features that promote a distinctive identity. These elements can also help to make the Town Center a cohesive district that is easily recognizable. A series of signature focal points, open spaces and gateways would help to reinforce this identity. The following are some key design features that should be included: • Improve the Royalton and Broadview Road intersection by introducing decorative cross walks and paving patterns to strengthen the district identity. • Reserve the property in the northwest and southwest quadrants of the Broadview and Royalton Road intersection for a well coordinated Community Retail Shopping Center (or centers.) The retail development should contain the appropriate collection of tenants and must be of sufficient size to establish the critical mass required to sustain a community retail center. • Develop focal points at the end of the proposed Town Center Loop Roads to visually anchor the street and reinforce the desired quality and character that will allow it to be successful as a dynamic retail and commercial district. This can be accomplished through the use of decorative paving, landscaping or other architectural elements. • Integrate mass transit opportunities into the town center by coordinating with the Regional Transit Authority. Bus stops should be provided on both Royalton and Broadview Roads. • Provide architectural elements, such as sculpture, public art and unique signage into the Town Center streetscapes to establish a strong district identity. • Create small, urban ‘pocket parks’ to enhance the pedestrian environment throughout the Town Center and to provide transitions between structures. They can also serve to link the project to existing natural site features.

The impact of large parking fields should be mitigated through the use of parking lot landscaping and screening along with generous pedestrian spaces. Chapter VI 1 Building Setbacks and Orientations On many existing sites, the significant building setbacks from the road allow broad expanses of parking areas that dominate the view. On other sites, the buildings are oriented in such a way that vehicular circulation is too close to the major roadways with poor traffic circulation and sight lines to maintain public safety. Recommendations A minimum 20’ setback for buildings is recommended. This setback should only be permitted where the desired right-of-way width has been established. Larger setbacks should be required along parcels where additional right-of-way acquisition is anticipated by the city. Where feasible, minimize parking in front of retail uses to reduce building setback. Along Broadview and Royalton Roads, parking for small parcels such as restaurants, small offices and freestanding retail, should be located at the sides and rear of the building only, not between the Right of Way and the building. This is especially critical in the Northwest and Southwest quadrants of the District when placing freestanding buildings along the street edge. This should not apply to larger tenant buildings where parking fields will be required between the storefront and the right-of-way. Commercial sites and community shopping centers should be organized to create shared parking opportunity. While most buildings along Royalton Road will maintain a deeper building setback, freestanding retail, restaurants, small offices and elements of larger buildings or retail centers can address the street with minimal setbacks. Chapter VI 2 Parcel Access and Curb Cuts BUILDING DESIGN Numerous curb cuts exist along both Broadview and Royalton Roads Building Articulation providing each individual parcel with access. The curb cuts are often spaced too close together, creating circulation and safety problems. Standards should be adopted which address specific design criteria including shared entrances, spacing between entrances, and spacing from intersections. Recommendations Full access curb cuts should be established as indicated on the Illustrative Master Plan. Where possible, shared curb cuts are to be created, and overall circulation within each quadrant should be designed concurrently so that access drives and internal circulation is coordinated. Larger sites (e.g. retail centers) will be permitted more than one curb cut with a mini- Building articulation, which is the expression or outlining of parts of the building by its architectural design, shall be provided in order to achieve the following: • Create a complementary pattern or rhythm, dividing large buildings into smaller, identifiable portions. • Break up the building mass through offsets and other methods that articulate the horizontal and vertical building planes. • Incorporate details that create shade and cast shadows to provide visual relief. • Provide vertical reveals and projections to express a rhythmic pattern across the elevation. • Provide other architectural details including texture, pattern, vertical and horizontal relief and other treatments that will reduce the visual impact of long blank walls. Foundation landscaping (where appropriate outside of Town Center Streets) designed to complement the building architecture is encouraged but not required. • Emphasize building entrances through the use of appropriate accent materials, building massing, facade offsets and by developing dramatic combinations of architectural forms. mum spacing as indicated on the Illustrative Master Plan. Buildings with drive-through service may be permitted to have two curb cuts depending on site layout. Shared access between adjoining properties should be encouraged to minimize curb cuts. Pad sites should share access with larger retail centers for simplified on-site circulation. Curb cuts should be spaced at least 125’ from any major intersection, edge of pavement to edge of pavement. Right-in/Right-out only access should be encouraged when secondary access is necessary. Appropriate stacking distances should be designed for individual sites. Building articulation shall be provided as specified in the following: • All nonresidential structures fifty thousand (50,000) square feet in size or greater, except department stores, shall incorporate architectural variation of at least three feet in depth for every twenty-five feet (25’) in façade length. • All nonresidential structures less than fifty thousand (50,000) square feet shall incorporate architectural variation of at least one foot in depth for every twenty feet (25’) in façade length.

Chapter VI 7 Chapter Seven Other Zoning Considerations Land Use Recommendations As part of the Town Center Master Plan work, the City of Broadview Wallings at I-77 Wallings at Broadview Heights requested that the Planning Consultant look at several specific parcels of land outside of the Town Center Study Area and provide recommendations relative to zoning changes that may be appropriate based on land use adjacencies and other factors that influence zoning. This Chapter addresses those specific parcels and provides recommendations Downtown Study Area based on a preliminary review of the existing land uses. The consultant Royalton (82) at I77 was not tasked with preparing a detailed economic land use evaluation and was not asked to prepare any detailed site assessments, ownership or feasibility studies. The recommendations that follow are based solely on discussions with the Steering Committee and City Staff along with a review of the current zoning map. (Figure 20) The Planning Consultant looked at the following four areas at the request of the City of Broadview Heights: • • • • Broadview South Broadview Road at Wallings.
