The land uses within the Southeast Neighborhood are primarily residential. However, in addition to the commercial development along Sample Street, Michigan Street, and Miami Street, there are several other areas of non - residential land uses in the neighborhood. Located on High Street between Sample and Broadway are a number of light industrial and warehouse distribution uses. Scattered throughout the balance of the neighborhood are several isolated business and industrial uses. The portion of the neighborhood north of Pennsylvania is dominated by vacant lots and blocks. These city lots were the sites for single family residences before neighborhood decline and housing deterioration took its toll. An underused nine -acre city park adds to the amount of open space in the neighborhood. The middle section of the neighborhood, between Pennsylvania and Dubail, still contains many single family houses and fewer vacant city lots. The physical fabric of the neighborhood is intact and could serve as the basis for a neighborhood revitalization program. Once again, there are a few non - residential uses within this section of the neighborhood, but the overwhelming land use remains residential. The final one -third of the neighborhood, south of Dubail, is also overwhelmingly single family residential and very similar to the middle one -third in condition and make -up. Unlike the middle section of the neighborhood, this southern section is dominated by educational and recreational uses, including Studebaker Elementary School, Riley High School, Studebaker Park and Studebaker Golf Course. For planning purposes, the Southeast Neighborhood has been divided into three smaller sectors (See Map 6): 1. Sample- Broadway 2. Broadway - Dubail; and 3. Dubail -Ewing The Sample- Broadway segment will have two alternative land use plans. The preferred, optimum plan will center on the creation of an institutional-education- recreational mixed -use project for the area between Michigan Street and Fellows -23- 1 5/21/93 All of these sectors are bounded by Michigan Street on the west and the alley west of Miami Street on the east. Each of the above areas is proposed for a different type and level of public involvement. The Sample- Broadway segment will be targeted as a redevelopment area. The Broadway- Dubail segment will be targeted as a ' neighborhood revitalization area. The Dubai] -Ewing segment will be targeted as a neighborhood improvement area. The appropriate strategy, plan and action program will be developed and implemented through a series of more detailed plans to be ' developed with the neighborhood planning committee. The Sample- Broadway segment will have two alternative land use plans. The preferred, optimum plan will center on the creation of an institutional-education- recreational mixed -use project for the area between Michigan Street and Fellows -23- 1 5/21/93
