Sustainable Development Plan

(retired)

Central West End Midtown Development > Development >

Spearheaded by a team of stakeholders assembled by Park Central Development, the plan's goal is to maximize the potential of the neighborhood, encouraging larger development where appropriate while preserving the neighborhood’s historic character. The plan boundaries are both sides of Lindell, the north side of Forest Park Avenue, the east side of Kingshighway and the west side of Vandeventer.

The plan will define goals for development based on two concepts: minimum and maximum building heights and placement of buildings on their lots. The new standards are designed to apply to new projects as they are proposed, not to call for development action on any specific parcels.

About 100 people shared their input on the Sustainable Development Plan & Code, a proposal to guide future development in the southern part of the Central West End during the first public meeting in Summer 2009. John Hoal of H3 Studio walked the audience through current rules that impact development (zoning, historic districts, etc.) and proposed two approaches to potential new regulations for building height and layout in different parts of the target area. Meeting participants then broke out into groups to discuss and comment on the options.
