Title

Resolution authorizing the transfer of funds from the Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund to a subaccount for the preparation of an updated market analysis and design charrette for the Near West Side, in the 4th, 10th and 15th Aldermanic Districts.

Analysis

This resolution transfers $35,000 in funds from the 2015 Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund account into a subaccount for an updated market analysis and design charrette for the Near West Side.

Body

Whereas, On March 19, 2004, the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee (“Common Council”) approved the Near West Side Comprehensive Area Plan as one of the components of the Comprehensive Plan; and

 

Whereas, The Comprehensive Area Plans include a market analysis that draws conclusions regarding certain land uses and locations within the neighborhood and these recommendations are based on economic data and developer opinions and were considered to develop housing and commercial redevelopment recommendations in the Near West Side Comprehensive Area Plan; and

 

Whereas, In January 2015, the Near West Side Partners, Inc. (“NWSP”) was formed, which is an organization with a mission to revitalize and sustain the Near West Side as a thriving business and residential corridor through collaborative efforts to promote economic development, improved housing, identity and branding, and greater safety for residents and businesses; and

 

Whereas, The NWSP will participate in a design charrette with the University of Wisconsin Community Design Solutions (“CDS”) focusing on six high-priority commercial corridor redevelopment sites; and

 

Whereas, CDS has conducted several design charrettes in neighborhoods throughout Milwaukee that have led to redevelopment of properties; and

 

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) typically provides a financial match to the business improvement district contribution to conduct these design charrettes; and

 

Whereas, Combined, the market analysis and design charrette will provide a snapshot to the current housing and commercial conditions and vision for future commercial redevelopment; and

 

Whereas, The current unencumbered balances in the Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund cannot be expended unless they are transferred to a specific subaccount; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City Comptroller is directed to transfer the amount of $35,000 from the Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund Account No. UR01215000A to be allocated to the Near West Side Plan Subaccount No. UR01280140 to be used by the Department of City Development (“DCD”) to prepare an updated market analysis in the amount of $25,000 and for the design charrette in the amount of $10,000; and, be it

 

Further Resolved, That DCD is directed to enter into such contracts and agreements, as necessary, for the design charrette and the updated market analysis for the Near West Side Comprehensive Area Plan.
