goods and services they desire, offer employment opportunities, complement <br />adjoining uses and otherwise further the goals of the Development Area Plan will <br />be a critical component of a successful redevelopment strategy in this area. <br />Likewise, preserving civic and religious institutions important to the Northeast <br />Neighborhood within the neighborhood center will ensure that the area will <br />continue to reflect its historic identity for longtime residents. <br />A shared parking strategy is recommended to reduce the number of parking spaces <br />needed and to encourage pedestrian activity among destinations within the <br />neighborhood retail corridor. Shared parking could be implemented within a new <br />mixed -use development through simple agreements between adjacent uses, or <br />through a parking management district if the scale of development so warrants. <br />Well- landscaped, pedestrian- and bicycle - friendly paths and walkways will help <br />reinforce the desirability of a shared parking scheme. <br />The redevelopment of the Eddy Street corridor as a commercial district would <br />ultimately benefit from the implementation of a coordinated signage plan and <br />collaborative marketing efforts among businesses. The creation of a strategic <br />partnership or Business Improvement District is recommended as sufficient <br />development occurs. <br />While commercial redevelopment is the primary goal of the sub -area, residential <br />uses are integrated within the mixed use scheme and surround the sub - area's <br />perimeter. In accordance with the City's goals to increase the diversity of housing <br />options available to home buyers, the introduction of urban-scale rowhouses and <br />townhomes will be supported in this sub -area as well. One favorable <br />development model sites owner- occupied multi - family residential development of <br />this type along both sides of Eddy Street, from Napoleon Street south toward the <br />Five Points intersection. Rowhouses and townhomes consume only a moderate <br />amount of land per household and constitute a housing density that supports <br />increased levels of transit service and neighborhood retailing. Design standards <br />that confirm the urban setting (i.e., minimal setbacks, inclusion of front stoops <br />and streetscaping elements) should be applied to all new multi - family residential <br />development within the sub -area. <br />Sub -area goals: <br />Support the southward realignment of Edison Road at Angela Boulevard <br />to facilitate development opportunities and mitigate the "racecourse" <br />effect of the existing curve; <br />Correct traffic hazard presented by confluence of South Bend Avenue, <br />Eddy Street and Corby Boulevard; <br />20 <br />
