PAUL is proceeding on a , project by project basis without an accepted overall strategy. This plan will unite public decision ' makers behind one concept for the future of downtown ' and provide greater encouragement #or private development. MAIN POINTS DOWNTOWN ST. PAUL HAS AS ITS PRIMARY PURPOSE service of ' the social and economic needs of the city's residents and reinforcement of neighborhood vitality. As a metropolitan center, the downtown area also must accept ' its obligations and opportunities to help meet social and economic needs of the region and' beyond. , PRINCIPAL �FUNCTIONS Of THE DOWNTOWN area are represented by four types of land use: Basic (retail , financial , institutional , professional , governmental) , Com lementar (cultural , educational , housing, parks, etc. , Sate ite ' (medical complexes, residential areas, warehous ng , an Support (circulation and utility systems). ' . THE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT FOR DOWNTOWN is an intensified center consisting of concentra�ed basic land uses which will attract complementary uses. Surrounding the cen�er, ' satellite areas buttress, contain and introduce downtown. Support functions serve the center and link it to otMer portions of the city, the region and beyond, ' INVESTMENT OF PUBLIC FUNDS should directly attract appropriate private investments. ' RECOMMENDATIONS IMMEDIATE PRIORITY PROJECTS �FOR PUBLIC ACTIONS ARE: 1 Completion of the street improvements on 8th and 9th Streets to remove traffic from 7th Stree�. , 2 Construction of 7th Place Mall and Galleria 3 Extension of the skyway system to the Courthouse, HarrrQn Building and Metro Square ' ; 4 Completion of a comprehensive parking plan by the City Planning staff 5 Tnitiation of an economic base study of St. Paut , ' emphasi2ing downtown 6 Continued evaluation and implerr�ntation pf a people mover for the downtown area. 7 Resolution of the I-35E controversy , 8 Implementation of other agencies plans for: -Energy Plant . -Downtown Bus Facilities � -Riyer Corridor -Civic Center Expansion SAINT PAUL CITY PLANNING, 421 WABASHA STREET, SAINT PAUL, MMNVE50rfA 55102 , _....

If we stop, the short term result will be less public dollars spent for improvements. The long term result however will ' mean loss of jobs as businesses move out due to worsening conditions, loss of central services and facilities and ultimately a major social and economic burden to the rest of the city. ' This concept plan is based on the assumption that renewing downtown is in the best interest of the people � of St. Paul and the metropolitan area. Because the citizens of St. Paul have the most to gain, or lose, from a successful or unsuccessful downtown, ITS PRIMARY ' PURPOSE SHOULD BE TO SERVE THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC NEEDS OF ST. PAUL'S RESIDENTS AND TO REINFORCE NEIGHBORHOOD VITALITY WITHIN THE CITY. As one of two designated Metropolitan Centers in the Twin Cities , ' DOWNTOWN ST. PAUL HAS OBLIGATIONS AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARE IN MEETING THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE WITHIN THE REGION AND BEYOND. The City should continue to recognize and ' expand these opportunities. The development concept for powntown envisions an , intensified center of Basic (retail , business, professional , fi�nancial institutional , governmental ) land uses. These uses, if developed in the appropriate scale will create demand for complementary ' (cultural , educational , housing, parks, etc. ) 1and uses which in turn make downtown a living center. , Surrounding downtown, Satellite (close-in residential , capital complex, warehousing, light industry) land uses buttress, contain and introduce downtown. Support services (circulation and utilities) insure the ' continued operation of downtown and link it to the rest of the city, the region and beyond. Any public money spent in the downtown should encourage this concept's , implementation. This concept plan which is a statement of policy sets a ' direction for the future of Downtown St. Paul . Public decision-makers will use this plan to evaluate development proposals. The district planning process will use this concept plan to guide the development of a � more detailed plan for the area. Private developers will rely on this concept plan as they make their investment decisions. � ' � 1 .0 INTRODUCTIGN ' , The downtown area represents a dynamic concentration of ' physical development, goods and services exchange governmental decision making, and community leadership and strength. These characteristics make the downtown ' area unique within the St. Paul corrmunity and suburban structure. ' St. Paul has recently seen an increasing number of proposals to strengthen its downtown. The Downtown People Mover, Seventh Place, skyway system expansion , Lower Town, fringe parking, steam plant and street ' realignments are but a few of the many proposals that have recently surfaced. These proposals reflect a growing public and private commitment to strengthen , the heart of the city and to fulfill downtown's role as a metropolitan center. However, a common strategy does not exist. ' The decision makers in St. Paul need a strategy to evaluate the ideas for improving downtown and to determine the short and long-term effects. They need ' � a strategy to prompt the question of how public investment will attract private investment. Finally, St. Paul needs a strategy which can aid decision making ' through a common focus of what downtown must achieve, and how all its pieces must fit together. Such a strategy can begin with this plan. ' l . l PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to produce a comprehensive policy plan for downtown St. Paul . This plan will unite , public decision makers behind one concept for the future of the area and provide greater encouragement for private development. This concept plan will become part of the ' new updated citywide comprehensive p�an and will replace the 1963 concept plan for downtown. ' 1 .2 SCOPE The scope of this report has been twofold. To examine: 1 .The social and economic relationships and roles of the downtown. ' 2.The physical pattern of facilities, activities and systems within the downtown area. ' � "Downtown St. Paul , A Concept for Its Development" , 1963 City Planning Board. � ' � ' � . ' Based on this examination, the report establishes a framework of goals, objectives and a general concept ' plan--with physical policy guidelines and examples to guide decisions on the future of the downtown. Within this overall framework, more detailed project development , and program planning will take place through the Downtown Corrmunity Development Committee and other concerned groups and agencies. ' It is not within the scope of this concept plan to set forth a detailed analysis of exactly where and how much public money should be spent downtown. The intent is ' rather to set forth a concept for the future of downtown based on the relationship of past and current proposals and proje�cts to an ideal situation. This relationship � will result in the best possible plan for downtown. Today's, and, more importantly tomorrow's, decision makers will use this plan to guide the future of ' downtown. . 1 .3 METHODOLOGY Staff from t e Of ice o City P anning wor ing wit t e ' Small Area Planning Comnittee of the Planning Commission developed this plan from a research base consisting of: (1 ) past Downtown studies, reports and project plans; ' (2) citywide reports and studies; (3) metropolitan reports and studies; and (4) federal census information. The staff identified and evaluated specific needs, ' problems, strategies and recommendations from this data base and brought them into this report where appropriate. An ongoing informal review by various agency staffs and interest groups has taken place during the plan ' development. A more formal review process consisting of informational meetings has taken place on an earlier draft and appropriate changes have been made. The t publication of this document will initiate formal public hearings by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will then adopt this document, with any additional changes made as a result of the hearing ' process, as a segment of the comprehensive plan for St. Paul . The document will then go to the Mayor and City Council for approval , following Metropolitan Council � review. ' ' 2 ,
