What is the
"redevelopment area"?
It includes the area of Apache Boulevard and adjacent neighborhoods
which are east of Rural Road and north of the Union Pacific Railroad line, extending east
to the city limits at the Tempe Canal (about ½ mile east of Price Road).
Goals for Apache
Boulevard
Upgrade commercial development by introducing
viable long-term businesses and mixed-use projects, creating a sense of place with an
aesthetically pleasing theme. Increase the residential and tourist-oriented development.
Develop a strong business community with a Boulevard management district, intermeddle
transit system, trolley service and a safe, well-lighted environment. Increase the number
of community facilities. Under-grounding utility lines in the area is also encouraged.
Goals in
Residential areas
Encourage a strong sense of community and
an enhanced quality of life through an improved integration of the boulevard and its
services with the surrounding residential areas. Work toward an increased owner-occupied
to rental ratio; consistently adequate lighting, streets and paths; enhanced participation
in community associations; increased green spaces & parks; enhanced recreational
opportunities; better access to schools and improved vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle flows
through the neighborhood. Promote the rehabilitation of existing residential structures
and eliminate rundown structures that cannot be rehabilitated.
