Hard and soft site analysis
On our site visit we identified several buildings that we considered to be soft or hard. Soft buildings or spaces are ones that we feel can best serve the area and the city in a better capacity than the current form it is in. Hard buildings and spaces are ones we feel serve the area well and contribute to the city
Process
We all scored the spaces individually, on a scale from 1 (soft) to 5 (hard). We then took the median of our individual scores to compile this final chart.
The soft areas on the East Holly Block are the Columbia Bank parking lot area, the Diamond paid parking across the alley from there, the Copper Hog parking area, the Rite Aid on Cornwall, and the vacant store next to The Local Public House on Railroad.
The medium spaces (pink) are: The Great Northern book store located next to the Diamond paid parking area off Railroad, Sherwin-Williams Paint store on E Magnolia and State Street, the Sugar on Magnolia smoke shop, The Jiffy Lube.
