Consideration, discussion, and possible execution of a contract with ADG, PC for an overlay district for New Orleans Square and to execute said contract in an amount not to exceed $96,500.00
End
Background:
On September 1, 2020, the City Council accepted the report from the Elm and New Orleans Advisory Committee for the New Orleans Square. Within the report an action step for an overlay district was prescribed. Subsequently, a number of firms responded to a Request for Qualifications for this project.
Through the review process ADG, PC was selected. ADG, PC will be partnering with Code Studio out of Austin, Texas on the crafting of the overlay district. There will be three phases for this project.
Phase One: Framework:
Given the amount of planning and engagement that has already occurred for the redevelopment of the New Orleans and Elm intersection, this phase will focus on implementation through plan refinement. It will refine the future physical layout of the area, delving into those buildings most likely to remain, how circulation within the private properties should be altered to open new development parcels, and coordination with the streetscape consultant on how changes to Elm and New Orleans can improve infill development potential. A master street and block plan will help frame later zoning changes. This work will also establish ideal bulk and massing standards for new development and key points at which the existing roadways of Elm and New Orleans may interact with new internal streets and important pedestrian and bike linkages.
