1 MASTER PLAN Public Workshop Overview Presentation MURRAY CITY HALL September 27, 2018

2 Purpose of the Project Assess the built environment and development conditions Understand the physical and environmental implications of the Smelter Site Overlay District (SSOD) Assess the market potential and the possibilities of creating a mixed-use transit district located in an emerging urban center Understand the connections and access to and from the station area for vehicles, transit and active transportation modes including pedestrians and cyclists

3 Study Area

4 GUIDING PRINCIPLES - GENERAL Align planning and design of the station area with the Murray City General Plan vision Leverage investments in transit infrastructure to create a walkable activity center Balance the creation of a quality station with environmental constraints and limitations Create a GREAT STATION and associated GREAT PUBLIC SPACES Create superlative pedestrian spaces and destinations as part of accommodating traffic, vehicles and parking Leverage transit investments (light rail/regional rail/brt/bus) to create an ICONIC STATION

5 GUIDING PRINCIPLES ENVIRONMENTAL Protect human health and the environment Accommodate compatible uses that are appropriate for development Acknowledge mitigation and cleanup decisions that were made 20+ years ago and how they affect development opportunities

6 SUMMARY - Smelter Site Overlay District Smelter Site Overlay District Commercial and light industrial uses, residential prohibited. Requires maintenance of the barriers, caps, and controls on excavated subsurface material Prohibits new wells or use of existing wells.

7 SUMMARY: Smelter Site Remediation Map Category 1 Excavated and moved to off-site hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility Category 2 Excavated and consolidated in a capped onsite repository system. Regulations: Excavation or breaks in cap prohibited Category 3 Materials consolidated and barrier placed over materials. Regulations: Handling of contaminated materials and offsite disposal Category 4 Eventually covered as site becomes redeveloped. Regulations: Cannot be deposited on the ground. More contamination Less Contamination

8 GUIDING PRINCIPLES ECONOMIC Create value in the surrounding area by investing in enhanced station amenities and development Leverage existing investment in the area Take the long perspective when making decisions not just economically, but for all other aspects of the project and site Create a flexible framework that is responsive to market changes and unforeseen futures Work with development partners to create a funding methodology that works for all parties involved

18 GUIDING PRINCIPLES LAND USE / URBAN DESIGN Acknowledge that the IMC properties are not necessarily aligned with the creation of a great station area No residential uses in contaminated land areas facilitate market-driven redevelopment from light industrial to urban mixed use Acknowledge the zone of influence of the station, and the need to carefully transition to adjacent neighborhoods and districts Locate real, viable uses in the station areas that contribute to the creation of a new station district Do it right invest in high-quality buildings, pedestrian enhancements and urban spaces Create an iconic/landmark station and great public spaces associated with it that will attract attention and brand the area

19 GUIDING PRINCIPLES TRANSPORTATION Connect the station to existing and proposed destinations in the area Establish the district as a walkable urban place Transform Vine Street into a great, multi-modal urban boulevard Reconfigure the station to emphasize walkability and great public spaces as part of operational and circulation modifications

24 KEY FINDINGS 1) Environmental Analysis eliminated residential development in core area 2) Most of the remediated portions remain as is 3) Economic Analysis indicates significant population growth and business demand in the area 4) IMC properties eliminated as significant contributors to the plan 5) Lack of developable land shifts focus to Vine Street and the Station Area 6) Uncontaminated outlying areas can develop many ways residential/commercial/office/mixed use Residential uses should be supported where possible 7) Vine Street transformation must be aligned with transportation planning visions, policies and projects
