Airway Heights US-2 Corridor Plan and Comprehensive Plan Update

Neighborhood PlanCorridor PlanSpecial Purpose Plan

Oct 28

SCJ has worked for the City of Airway Heights on multiple projects, including a US 2 corridor plan, a comprehensive plan update, and a public art strategy. Working with a number of agency partners, SCJ completed the corridor plan within budget and in time to inform budgeting decisions for the City, the City of Spokane, and the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT). WSDOT followed up on this work with its next-generation corridor sketch plan to further explore land use development intensity and timing. The corridor plan provides a detailed look at the preferred roadway design and land use mix for the three-mile length through the community. As its primary commercial arterial and historic main street, the corridor is tasked with serving multiple, and conflicting, needs. The corridor plan identifies six different corridor context areas, providing conceptual design guidance that has since informed the comprehensive plan update, the community’s new downtown plan, new commercial zoning regulations, and a new public art plan and strategy.

SCJ led the new subarea plan to implement the comprehensive vision for a mixed-use reinvestment in Lacey’s developed central area.

The Lincoln Heights District Center consists of a wide variety of uses, focused on a cluster of conventional 1960's-era shopping center.

SCJ provided a form-based code for the Hamilton Street corridor in a portion of the Logan Neighborhood. SCI translated the model and refined it to codify form-based standards consistent with the citys existing zoning ordinance.
