BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A

 

BACKGROUND:

The 5th Avenue Project is focused on the potential redevelopment eight (8) parcels in the immediate vicinity of the Naperville Metra Station. These properties currently include several surface parking lots, an automobile repair business, the City’s former Public Works Facility, and the DuPage Children’s Museum.

 

On October 3, 2017, City Council approved a motion to engage and authorize Ryan Companies to conduct community engagement and market research to determine feasible and beneficial options for the redevelopment along the 5th Avenue corridor for the purpose presenting a concept plan for redevelopment of the 5th Avenue area (the "Design Concept") to City Council for its consideration.  

 

DISCUSSION:

The  5th Avenue Workshop is the first in accordance with the motion approved by the City Council on October 3, 2017 which stipulates that Ryan Companies present a status report at a City Council Workshop every two months. Continuation of the 5th Avenue Project is contingent on an affirmative Council vote to proceed following each workshop.  An agenda item is included on the December 19, 2017 City Council Agenda for action after this workshop. 

 

Presentation slides detailing public engagement activities to date and next steps in the process is attached to this memo.  On Friday, December 15, 2017, an overview of the Group Input Sessions will be posted for review.  This document will include an executive summary, an identification and summary of key themes and complete input session notes (as reviewed by participants).

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact resulting from the continuation of the community engagement process, technical studies and the development of a concept for the 5th Avenue area.  The final scope of any redevelopment and associated financial impacts are not yet known.  Any City costs associated with redevelopment will be subject to the review and approval of the City Council.
