An abandoned surface parking lot at the southeast corner of the site has been set aside for future development. Property at the rear of the site along Fifth Street N has been set aside for future townhouses that will front on Crescent Lake. This is a real opportunity to revitalize a vacant block. Each month the EDC meets to consider proposed development projects that require variances or site plan approval, or requests for alley or right of way easements. The site plan and special exception approved by the EDC calls for an elevated building with parking underneath.
Additional parking is located in the rear.
A new school is planned on the soccer field portion of the existing site. Students will continue to attend the present school until the new facility is completed. The existing school then will be razed and replaced with open space and athletic fields. Part of 34th Avenue S terminating in Clam Bayou was vacated. The city, which is acquiring properties in the environmentally sensitive area, plans to establish a public preservation area.
