Document Description
The City of Riverside is considering the development of a new mixed-use entertainment and hospitality Project, referred to as the Riverside Alive Project (Project). The Project proposes to include a combination of residential, office, retail, and hotel uses; a Convention Center expansion; and new parking facilities in place of the existing Lot 33 and Outdoor Plaza area. No specific development application is currently under consideration. The Project is proposing “development envelopes” based on the maximum areas or densities that could be accommodated on the Project site instead of on specific project details. The list below provides a breakdown of the maximum densities that will be analyzed as part of the Project.
- 168 residential units including a mix of for-sale and for-rent product;
- 376 hotel rooms;
- 220,000 square feet of Class A office space;
- 61,981 square feet of commercial retail space, including restaurant and personal service uses;
- 189,000 square feet of additional exhibition, reception, back-of-house and support facilities for the Riverside Convention Center;
- A subterranean parking facility with up to five levels; and
- Outdoor pedestrian plaza and flexible outdoor gathering space.
Existing utility facilities on-site may be removed, replaced or relocated to provide connection to the new buildings proposed by the Project. No new services are expected; rather moving around utility connections are expected and would be determined as specific buildings and facilities undergo specific entitlement and engineering processing in the future. The potential off-site improvements anticipated for this Project include upsizing approximately 1,700 linear feet of sewer line in Market Street from 11th Street to Mission Inn Avenue and upsizing the potable water main in Third Street between Orange Street and Market Street.
