North Progress Redevelopment Opportunity Subarea Plan
Date: 1/1/2022 - 5/31/2022
North Progress Redevelopment Opportunity Subarea Plan
Student Researcher: Emma Bangs
Client: Town of Parker
View Capstone Poster
View Executive Summary
The properties within the subarea were developed over 50 years ago in unincorporated Douglas County. Properties in the area are beginning to come on the market and many of the buildings are past their useful life and are operated as legal non-conforming uses. In addition, the connectivity and access are limited by Parker Road (CDOT) and existing infrastructure. The project will contemplate general redevelopment layout, urban design and transportation connectivity. The new plan will provide guidance to future buyers and developers on how the sites can be redeveloped in conformance with the Master Plan, the current zoning (a mix of commercial and industrial) and how the subarea can have better access/connectivity.
