3 GOALS OBJECTIVES! As the result of conversations with board members representing both CIDs, regional stakeholders, elected officials, and community members, two clear goals emerged and serve as the foundation for this Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs Master Plan. Each of the plan's recommended projects and initiatives, outlined in this report and within the control of the CIDs, have been considered with the purpose of both enhancing regional perceptions of the area and/or fostering economic development of South Metro Atlanta. ENHANCE BRAND AND PERCEPTIONS Projects in the combined Aerotropolis CIDs should work together to tell a story that helps establish an authentic brand for the Aerotropolis area, while simultaneously improving the area's identity and perception. FOSTER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Projects should continue to make the Aerotropolis area attractive for business and industry. Well-designed projects will make the CIDs a desired market for future development of multiple uses and sectors. The Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs Master Plan outlines projects to enhance and improve the area over the next 5-10 years. Recommended projects and initiatives generally fall into one of four categories: PUBLIC SAFETY Improve the visibility and effectiveness of public safety for community members who live and work within the area WAYFINDING Simplify the ability to navigate within and across the districts with the use of clear and contemporary vehicular and pedestrianscaled wayfinding and signage BEAUTIFICATION Enhance the overall area aesthetic and perceptions through the beautification of interchanges and corridors INFRASTRUCTURE Strengthen the functionality of existing infrastructure by expanding connectivity and mobility options, addressing conflict points, and creating new means and routes of transportation throughout the CIDs Article IX, Section VII of the Georgia Constitution gives Community Improvement Districts the ability to utilize generated revenue on: Street and road construction and maintenance, including curbs, sidewalks, street lights, and devices to control the flow of traffic on streets and roads Parks and recreational areas and facilities Stormwater and sewage collection and disposal systems Development, storage, treatment, purification, and distribution of water Public transportation Terminal and dock facilities and parking facilities GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AEROTROPOLIS ATLANTA CIDS 3 May 11,

4 MARKET ANALYSIS Population Employment To better understand the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs market forces and trends, the planning team undertook a market study for the greater Aerotropolis area. This study extended beyond the CIDs boundaries to areas within a minute drive of the Airport. The analysis included a review of demographic and employment trends including residential, industrial, retail, and office real estate demand models. While the Aerotropolis Area s underlying demographics do not provide a positive case for investment, a deeper look at the area's population, diversity, and employment trends presents a different case. For the Aerotropolis area to grow and succeed, it is vital that the CIDs, Aerotropolis Atlanta Alliance, and the organizations' partners, work closely to tell the full story of the area s momentum and economic potential to build the case for further investment and reinvestment. Airport/ Aerotropolis Market Area Median Age Household Size $ $ $38,305 Median Income $57, % Secondary Degree Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area % The market analysis area is larger than the combined boundaries of the CIDs. The analysis area contains more than 360,000 residents; 31,760 of them arrived since Young adults (ages 20 to 37), including families, are the most common group living in this area; however, the net growth over the last 15 years is almost entirely Baby Boomers (ages 52 to 71). Aerotropolis Primary Population Segments FAMILY FOUNDATIONS Married couples, single parents, grandparents, and children (young and adult) Retired workers contribute to lower labor force participation Drives demand for single-family housing METRO FUSION Young, diverse population Single-adult households (more than 1/2 of total households) Drives demand for rental property AMERICAN DREAMERS Younger married-couple with children Multigenerational homes are common High levels of diversity Drives demand for single-family housing (typically outside urban centers) In 2014, the market analysis area included more than 210,000 jobs (8.4% of the regional total). Of those jobs, roughly 160,000 are filled by employees who commute into the area for work daily. This is contrasted by the approximately 90,000 residents who commute to their employment destinations outside the area. Of the 360,000 full-time residents, approximately 35,000 both live and work within the study area. Market Considerations The area s market potential will shift. The Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs have the opportunity to maximize return on investment and reinvestment by prioritizing areas of focus that will build momentum over time. NEAR-TERM MID-TERM LONG-TERM INDUSTRIAL RESIDENTIAL RETAIL OFFICE The Aerotropolis area has recorded the region's highest levels of net absorption, occupancy rates, and rent growth since Sites with proximity to the Airport and major transportation thoroughfares should be preserved for industrial development. By clustering industrial uses, the area can capitalize on nearby skilled labor. Forecasted population growth will drive short-term demand for housing. New rooftops should be considered in a variety of types and price points in response to the area's shifting market preferences and evolving demographics. Housing that provides access and proximity to jobs and services is key to the area's future success. Retail opportunities will follow new rooftops and jobs. High visibility locations with access to commuters will strengthen the case for new retail; this also helps offset the area's lower average incomes. Mixed-use opportunities should be located in prime locations with access to jobs, housing, and visitors to enhance the Atlanta region. Office development should be adaptable for changing employee/ employer preferences. Opportunities for new office space will be driven by available properties with superior access and visibility, as well as proximity to connected employee amenities such as multi-use trails, parks, shopping, and dining destinations.

5 COMMUNITY CHARACTER The Airport West and Airport South CIDs are expansive districts covering more than 11 miles from end-to-end, spanning seven jurisdictions, and containing 15+ square miles of properties. This massive area has been subject to a variety of different plans and policies, but previous efforts have lacked a cohesive approach for advancing the area as a whole. As organizations that span the Aerotropolis District, five municipalities and two counties, the CIDs in partnership with the Aerotropolis Alliance, are well positioned to provide the vision, oversight and leadership required to unleash the area's economic potential and long-term prosperity. Given the size of the combined CIDs, subdividing the overall area into eight character areas allows for the unique assets and needs of each to be understood and addressed. These character areas were identified through a comprehensive analysis of the land uses and transportation, and a series of conversations with key stakeholders and community members. (and City of South Fulton) CIDs Area Aerotropolis Atlanta Blueprint is a vision for the area around Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Atlanta s South Metro area. This plan envisions the Aerotropolis area as a preeminent location for economic investment in the southeastern U.S. This Master Plan utilized the Blueprint as a foundational document to help identify CID needs and strategies. COWART LAKE WEST CAMP CREEK Redevelopment Nodes 1 S. FULTON PARKWAY SOUTH FULTON EAST CAMP CREEK MARKETPLACE With the assistance of stakeholders and community members, the planning team identified nine areas most likely to experience future development based on their current activity and market potential. The needs and opportunities of each redevelopment node was studied to shape and prioritize the CIDs project list and Five Year Action Plan. 1. Marketplace - The retail center west of I-285 along Camp Creek Parkway 2 RIVERDALE/SULLIVAN GATEWAY/GICC 2. South Fulton Parkway - The corridor and properties along South Fulton Parkway and Roosevelt Highway 3. College Park Property - Redevelopment property on Camp Creek Parkway owned by College Park 4.

6 PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES From review and analysis of redevelopment areas, potential projects and initiatives were identified by the planning team, in partnership with community members and key stakeholders. With the purpose of growing the Aerotropolis area as an economic engine and enhancing community perceptions a total of 29 projects, spread across both CIDs, were recognized. In addition to these projects, a comprehensive and unified wayfinding signage plan is proposed bringing the total to 30 projects overall. Each of the 30 projects falls into one of the following categories and meets one or more of the CID's four primary objectives. PROJECT TYPE Future Connections (3 Projects) Roadway and/or Streetscape Improvements (8 Projects) Interchange Beautification and/or Improvements (13 Projects) Intersection Improvements (5 Projects) Wayfinding and Signage (1 Project) OBJECTIVES PUBLIC SAFETY WAYFINDING BEAUTIFICATION INFRASTRUCTURE AEROTROPOLIS ATLANTA CIDS' PROJECT LIST As the Aerotropolis District evolves, redevelopment and community improvement efforts should leverage the area three key economic assets as long-term drivers of economic development: Leverage the Airport Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the metro area's most significant economic asset. With 63,000+ employees working around the clock, the Airport is the area s largest employer. In addition to being a major hub, the Airport continues to grow. The ATLNEXT program will invest $6 billion into the Airport over the next 20 years. Leverage the Existing Businesses The Aerotropolis area accommodates approximately 210,000 jobs, with a majority of employees commuting from outside of the area. As such, the day-time population is significantly larger than the area's residential population. While area employment is spread across many sectors, 90% of job growth has been limited to transportation and warehousing since Leverage the Expanding Population The Airport area is growing at a consistent pace. Since 2000, the area has seen a 13.4% increase in overall population. Proximity to the Airport and the City of Atlanta, as well as relatively low priced homes, has driven growth. Due to strong increases in Baby Boomers seeking to age-in-place and younger residents seeking affordable housing near the City, planning of mixed-income housing and new housing types is vital to the area s continued economic success. OPPORTUNITIES Develop a synergistic relationship between the Aerotropolis area and the Airport Prioritize investments that attract people traveling to or through Atlanta Create activity centers near the Convention Center and Virginia Avenue OPPORTUNITIES Encourage proximity to the Airport and major transportation infrastructure Protect major transportation corridors for efficient travel Create activity nodes that provide amenities for area employees OPPORTUNITIES Use public investments to support activity nodes for people that live and work in the Aerotropolis area Elevate key nodes to support mixeduse centers and new destinations PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES AEROTROPOLIS ATLANTA CIDS 9 May 11,

7 OBJECTIVE 1: PUBLIC SAFETY PUBLIC SAFETY TODAY PUBLIC SAFETY TOMORROW Public safety presence is vital to enhancing the perception of area within the CIDs boundaries. Stakeholders and community members agree that the area's perception of public safety is fundamental to growth and must be addressed. To date, one of the biggest investments of the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs is working to address public safety concerns in a real and tangible way. Currently, the CIDs coordinate 24-hour surveillance by both local police and a private security. Those patrols include two private security vehicles and one local patrol car. Along with increased surveillance, the CIDs have monthly coordinating meetings to share critical information and maintain an open dialogue between the multiple police jurisdictions and community members. AFTER ONE YEAR OF IMPLEMENTATION TOTAL CRIME IS DOWN 34% IN THE AIRPORT WEST CID Ongoing public safety coordination organized by the CIDs include: Law Enforcement Meetings Local police jurisdictions and private security teams assemble regularly to discuss current trends and coordinate enforcement across jurisdictional lines. Community Police Meetings Community and business owners interact regularly with local police departments and learn techniques to make their individual properties safer. ATL Aerotropolis Hotel Security Council Local hoteliers gather to discuss patterns and trends in that impact their properties and how they can best communicate to resolve issues across the Districts. TOTAL CRIME IS DOWN 7% IN THE AIRPORT SOUTH CID (WITHOUT ADDITIONAL OFF-DUTY LAW ENFORCEMENT) CONTINUOUS CHAIN OF COMMUNICATION AND OPEN DIALOGUE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BETWEEN BUSINESS OWNERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THE AEROTROPOLIS ATLANTA CIDs Taking advantage of new and evolving law enforcement technology and crime prevention is a top priority for the CIDs. The Aerotropolis CIDs staff is working with local police chiefs to evaluate a partnership to purchase fixed license plate readers for strategic locations within the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs. These readers will assist local police by tracking criminal behavior and notifying law enforcement immediately if a suspect tag is captured. License plate readers have the ability to scan up to 1,800 cars per minute at a travel speed over 150 mph. Additionally, the CIDs, in partnership with the College Park Police Department (CPPD), are working to create a pilot program for video integration systems to monitor CID properties along Phoenix Boulevard. This open platform system will allow CPPD and the CIDs to utilize shared private cameras owned by existing businesses in addition to City owned equipment. The Atlanta Police Department (APD) has a similar video integration system to monitor portions of the Airport West CID.! LONG-TERM IMPLEMENTATION PLANS AND STATISTICAL GOALS Increase police presence by one additional car per shift Increase security officers by two additional officers per shift Decrease the total crime within the combined CIDs district by 50% PUBLIC SAFETY AEROTROPOLIS ATLANTA CIDS 11 May 11,

8 OBJECTIVE 2: WAYFINDING SIGNAGE AND BRANDING Creating a unified look and brand for the Aerotropolis area is important for the combined CIDs. As part of the master plan effort, the planning team created three signage scales that provide a framework for a wayfinding, include regional, district and local-scale signs. Regional signage should be monumental in size and located near major entry and exit points. District signage would be scaled for vehicular traffic and should be used within activity centers, such as Camp Creek Parkway and Riverdale Road. Local signs are pedestrian scale and located in walkable districts like Virginia Avenue and Camp Creek Parkway. The design and installation of unified wayfinding signage will allow the CIDs to create a consistent look across the area. This brand would be easily identifiable and work for all areas within the CIDs boundaries. While the design is still to be developed, it may include a public art component that can be incorporated across the three signage types. REGIONAL Large-scale monuments Used to establish gateway entrances to the CIDs Located at interchanges and along main corridors Generally landmark signage without directional information DISTRICT Vehicular-scale signs Simple directional information to districts and major landmarks. Located along arterial roadways LOCAL Pedestrian-scale signs Provides directional information, including local landmarks and attractions Denotes pathways and key locations for community members and area visitors on foot or bike LOCAL DISTRICT REGIONAL POTENTIAL SIGNAGE LOCATIONS WAYFINDING AEROTROPOLIS ATLANTA CIDS 13 May 11,

9 OBJECTIVE 3: BEAUTIFICATION INTERCHANGES The Aerotropolis area serves as the first and last impression for many travelers, making it the region's most important gateway based on daily impressions. Most of these impressions come from those arriving from the southeast along one of the interstate corridors through the Aerotropolis area. Each interchange along this route offers the opportunity to enhance the Aerotropolis brand and improve perceptions. Throughout the engagement process, community members and stakeholder expressed a desire for these interchanges to create a better visual representation of the community. The interchanges provide a important opportunity to shape first and last impressions for travelers, workers, and residents. While every interchange contributes to area identity, four interchanges were prioritized and studied. Following the direction of the community and CID Boards, each interchange was evaluated to maximize the visual benefit of increased beautification investments. In addition to identifying high, medium, and low visibility areas within each interchange, the planning team provided a series of strategies and I-285 AT S. FULTON PARKWAY I-85 AT RIVERDALE ROAD I-85 AT VIRGINIA AVENUE I-285 AT RIVERDALE ROAD I-285 at Riverdale Road Approximately 50 acres Abuts the southern portion of the Airport runway Due to Airport proximity, low height vegetation and xeriscaping (native planting requiring little to no irrigation) is recommended I-85 at Virginia Avenue Approximately 9 acres (smallest interchange) Adjacent to existing pedestrian routes along Virginia Avenue Installation of smaller and denser plant material to create a welcoming gateway and comfortable pedestrian-scale is recommended I-285 at S. Fulton Parkway Approximately 80 acres (largest interchange) Convergence of multiple interstates Installation of large landscape patterns to create an appropriate sense of scale is recommended I-85 at Riverdale Road Approximately 18 acres Western portion of the interchange is most visible to traffic moving along the roadway Plant material clustered heavily around the intersection to help beautify and stabilize the grade change is recommended I-285 AT RIVERDALE RD I-85 AT VIRGINIA AVE PHOENIX BLVD RIVERDALE RD FOREST PKWY I-285 AT S.

10 OBJECTIVE 3: BEAUTIFICATION CORRIDORS The Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs Master Plan identified three corridors that will guide future growth and contribute to the area's identity. Airport West includes two major corridors with significant redevelopment potential: Virginia Avenue (between Downtown Hapeville and Downtown College Park) and Camp Creek Parkway (Between College Park's Main Street and Butner Road). Within Airport South the greatest potential for growth and placemaking is along Phoenix Boulevard/ Forest Parkway, located immediately south of I-285 at Riverdale Road. Virginia Avenue The Virginia Avenue Corridor was identified as a priority within the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs. This corridor has the greatest potential to become a walkable, mixed-use corridor. While redeveloping Virginia Avenue would provide a spark for the area, it is not without challenge. The corridor extends across four separate jurisdictions (College Park, East Point, Atlanta and Hapeville), SHALLOW BUILD-TO BEFORE AND AFTER BEFORE meaning any cohesive Virginia Avenue redesign will require communication, policy coordination, and consistent design standards. Virginia Avenue also has overhead utility lines along the north sidewalk, a significant obstacle that must be addressed as part of any improvement effort. With those considerations in mind, the team studied Virginia Avenue, and a typical four-lane section with a central median or turning lane. The planning team provided two approaches for enhancing the Virginia Avenue street section. One approach followed a shallow build-to zone that would create a more urban walkable street while the other looked at establishing a controlled setback to provide limited parking along the corridor frontage.

11 Camp Creek Parkway Camp Creek Parkway is a major arterial linking Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Camp Creek Marketplace and many of the Airport West CID's commercial and residential areas. Stakeholders expressed a desire to see Camp Creek become more functional, attractive, and walkable. As a primary thoroughfare, there is also a desire for the Camp Creek corridor to provide more opportunities for active and passive recreation through the provision of a multi-use trail between the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) to the Piedmont Driving Club and Princeton Lakes. The Camp Creek Corridor has room within the available state-owned right-of-way to invest in pedestrian and biking connections. The addition of a multi-use trail, landscaping, and lighting would require no additional right-of-way acquisition or realignment of travel lanes. Stakeholders envisioned the areas around the GICC, Marketplace at Camp Creek, and Piedmont Driving Club to have an increased level of pedestrian amenities along both sides and landscaping whereas the typical section throughout the remainder of the corridor would feature a multi-use trail, and associated lighting, landscaping, and user amenities along one side of the street.

12 Phoenix Boulevard/Forest Parkway The Phoenix Boulevard/Forest Parkway corridor is Airport South s main employment center. Stakeholders and community members identified the area's potential to become the focal point of business growth south of the Airport. The three biggest needs for the corridor are: Extending sidewalks along the entire of the corridor; Adding effective street and pedestrianscaled lighting; and Incorporating pedestrian amenities (transit shelters, benches, and trash receptacles). In addition to enhancements along Phoenix Boulevard, the intersection at Phoenix Boulevard and Riverdale Road is crucial to the area's identity and perception. This intersection should be improved to enhance access and overall attractiveness, to improve the connectivity and walkability between area businesses.

13 OBJECTIVE 4: INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS In addition to wayfinding and beautification improvements, a variety of infrastructure projects were identified as opportunities to improve connectivity within the combined CIDs. Truck Connections The area around the Airport must balance being one of the nation's largest employment and industrial centers with remaining a great place live. Traffic in the area is often worsened by the conflicting commuting patterns of residents and service trucks serving area businesses. The planning team studied options for creating a needed truck connection between Camp Creek and South Fulton Parkways. This alternative would provide options for trucks and alleviate congestion at I-285. Washington Road Intersection Improvements The intersection of Camp Creek Parkway and Washington Road is an operational bottleneck and a safety concern. The planning team studied the viability of an extended turn lane along Camp Creek Parkway and the potential it would have to improve access to Washington Road. Two scenarios were modeled to enhance access to Redwine Road from Washington Road: Left Turn Lane at Ale Circle: Providing a left-turn lane onto Ale Circle from Washington Road allows traffic to access Ale Circle and Redwine Road without blocking Washington Road and the intersection at Camp Creek Parkway. Landscaped Median: Installing a landscaped median directs traffic to Redwine Road which alleviates the bottleneck created by cars turning left onto Ale Circle from Washington Road. Both concepts improve operations at Camp Creek Parkway and Washington Road, and enhance access to Redwine Road.

14 FIVE-YEAR ACTION PLAN The Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs Five-Year Action Plan is ambitious yet achievable. Each short-term initiative is listed with a recommended design year, estimated costs, and estimated target construction date. In total, the projects identified in the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs Master Plan amount to $84 million in potential investments over the next five years. This figure is estimated in 2016 dollars and does not include an estimation of potential right-ofway costs, or inflation. Project implementation funding will come from a variety of sources. The current millage rate for each of the Aerotropolis CIDs is 5 mils. In addition to the CIDs partnership with the Aerotropolis Atlanta Alliance, possible funding sources that may be leveraged with CID dollars include Fulton County, Clayton County, Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) grants and funding, state and local maintenance and improvement grants, and other federal dollars. Cooperation and partnerships with local municipalities, ARC, the State of Georgia and federal agencies is vital to implementation of the Five Year Action Plan. The projects identified in the Aerotropolis Atlanta CIDs Master Plan amount to $84 million in potential investments. 25 May 11, Design Wayfinding and Signage Virginia Avenue Corridor Study Virginia Avenue at I-85 Interchange Riverdale Road at I-285 Interchange Camp Creek Corridor at Marketplace South Bound Truck Connections Additional Airport West Interchanges Design Virginia Avenue Corridor Enhancement Camp Creek from GICC to Marketplace Phoenix Boulevard Corridor Welcome All Road at Camp Creek Additional Airport South Interchanges Build Wayfinding and Signage (ongoing) Virginia Avenue at I-85 Interchange Riverdale Road at I-285 Interchange Camp Creek Corridor at Marketplace Additional Airport West Interchanges Design S.
