Concept 2

Concept 2 consists of a site plan where the westerly two public housing units of 3110 Broadway are demolished in order to create a more efficient parking structure. The garden level parking structure includes 66 parking spaces. Because of the slope of the site from northwest to southeast, the northerly end of the parking structure will be underground, the southerly end will be at least partially exposed above ground. There is a total of 24 new dwelling units, two of which replace the demolished units. Units 1 and 2 are located easterly of a corner accessway that creates a direct connection between the bus stop and the units in the new and existing parts of the site. The plaza is an extension of the existing open space and play ground area between the existing apartment units east of the redevelopment area. A new laundry area is planned in or near the community center and the plaza. The 3,000 sqft community center is connected to the central courtyard and the plaza on the east side of the entrance to the parking area. The community center will include a computer lab, meeting room, after school study areas for residents as well as offices and storage for on-site training programs. A stairwell and optional elevator connect the parking structure to the first floor plaza and the second floor walkways. The upper walkway provides access to the front doors of the second floor units. This design is only two stories, consistent with the two story units to the south and the North Boulder Recreation Center.
