stimulate economic development and preserve and enhance the image of
Broadview Heights.
The planning process began by examining the previous planning studies
and became a collaborative effort between the G2M planning team and
the Town Center Master Plan Steering Committee. The City must now
adopt the plan’s recommendations, promote them to the larger community, and insure that the guiding principles outlined in the Master Plan
are followed.
One of the first tasks of the Steering Committee was to finalize a list of
goals and objectives to guide the development of the Master Plan. After
reviewing the previous goal statements from the 1988 and 1998 Town
Center Master Plans and gathering feedback from committee members
and other interested parties, the planning team developed nine new planning objectives and established a single overriding goal for the Town
Center. The Steering Committee then adopted the goal and nine objectives for the Town Center as shown at right.
Create a dynamic, easily identifiable Town Center District that can accommodate daytime, evening,
and weekend activity, incorporating a mix of uses that are easily accessible and pedestrian friendly.
Objectives

Town Center Master Plan. They should be used as a benchmark for evaluating future proposals. All of the work prepared by the consultant planning team after the Desired Framework Diagram was created is based
on that framework diagram and will aid in the future decision-making
process. For example, the Outline Design Guidelines presented in Chapter 6 are based on the framework diagram and guiding principles. Those
guidelines, once fully developed, will more clearly articulate what the
community expects from developers and property owners. In contrast,
the Illustrative Master Plan presented in this report represents just one of
the possible solutions that would achieve the desired planning outcome.
It is simply an interpretation of the guiding principles and is not intended
to be the final solution for creating a dynamic and active Town Center.
3. The District’s Design should encourage a mixed use environment with a strong pedestrian scale
along with enough critical mass to sustain it.
4. The District’s Design should be coordinated with the existing retail development on the adjacent
quadrants of the intersection.
5. The District’s Design should create a strong sense of local identity, allowing small shops to coexist with national retail chains. The District should adopt quality architectural standards to give
the Town Center District the proper sense of scale and place.
6. The District’s Design should include a clearly defined public area within the proposed retail
center linked to restaurants and entertainment uses and should include strong pedestrian connections to other city facilities.
7. The District’s Design should encourage a broad mix of residential opportunities intended to

Through the course of meetings and discussions, it became apparent that
there was a desire for the development to include a Traditional Downtown “Main Street” component with upscale Lifestyle tenants. Several
participants expressed concern regarding the traditional placement of
parking in front of retail buildings and the need to minimize convenience
and off price retail. The planning team attempted to address the concerns
by developing a framework plan that was heavily pedestrian focused
with high quality landscape and public amenities. The Steering Committee recognized that in order to market a viable plan to the development

Traffic Patterns and Access
The District is bisected by Royalton Road and Broadview Road, establishing the intersection as the major focal point for commercial activity.
At the present time this intersection has not been developed to its full potential. An existing garden center on the southwest quadrant and vacant
and under utilized store fronts on the southeast quadrant visually detract
from the intersections development potential.
The previous master plans contemplated the creation of a loop road connecting the district. The initial section of the loop road, Town Center
Drive, has been constructed in the southeast quadrant of the intersection. The Steering Committee expressed a strong desire to extend the

Existing conditions in the Broadview Heights Town Center area could
not be adequately described without some mention of parking availability and its impact on development activity. The provision of parking
has been an ongoing issue in the town center district because adequate
parking is a necessary component of any successful development in the
District. Additional parking is presently required to support activity in
the Crossings Shopping Center. Any new development must address the
parking needs of the end users. Consideration must also be given to any
shared parking opportunities that may exist.

their location strategy. Each retailer is unique, but there is a high correlation between the number of household incomes over $100,000 and
the success of a lifestyle center and its retailers. While this is somewhat

Retail Gap Analysis
Perhaps the most important information contained in the demographic
data is the retail gap analysis. The retail gap analysis estimates retail
spending potential for a retail trade area based upon population, income,
and consumer spending patterns. By analyzing this data, one can determine the extent to which a community is or is not capturing its sales
potential.
Understanding the pattern of retail spending within the Broadview
Heights Trade Areas will help us determine which retail sectors are exhibiting “surplus” and which sectors are exhibiting “leakage.” Retail
sales surplus indicates that a community pulls consumers and retail dollars in from outside the trade area, thereby serving as a regional market.
Conversely, when local demand for a specific product is not being met
within a trade area, consumers are going elsewhere to shop, creating retail leakage. Retail strategies can be developed for specific retail sectors
by analyzing the estimated amount of retail surpluses and leakages, giving retailers a snapshot of a community’s retail market potential. Generally, attraction or surplus categories signal particular strengths of a retail
market, while leakage categories signal particular weaknesses. We have
taken the income data for all the households within the three trade areas (10-minute drive times, 15-minute drive times and 20-minute drive
times) and looked at people’s propensity to spend on certain items, then
looked at the supply of those various retail uses within that trade area.
A Retail Gap Analysis is not designed as a detailed plan of action, nor is

begin to occur (See Figure 17). Opportunities are no longer limited to
furniture stores and beverage as opportunities for building materials and
some general merchandize retailers start to emerge. Additionally, an opportunity for specialty food stores, restaurants and entertainment start
to develop. Those retail gaps increase significantly as we look at the
10-minute trade area. While there seems to be some capacity to add a
book store, the volume is not large enough to justify one of the national
book stores, which would be essential if the City was to attempt the
development of a Lifestyle-type center. Based on the retail gap analysis, we believe there is a strong opportunity to develop a high quality
Community Center. The project could be anchored by a large format
general merchandise department store like Kohl’s, Target or Penney’s
and could also contain a home improvement store like Lowes or Home
Depot. In addition, a small specialty grocery store and a collection of

it an exact science. Rather, it provides the necessary input for the most
important aspect of a retail development strategy – in our case, understanding the type of retailers that can be recruited to the district, which
will determine the type of retail project that can be planned.
We started by looking at the 20-minute drive time, which is the trade
area for a regional or lifestyle type project. As indicated by the chart in
Market Conclusion
The existing demographic data provides useful information to help us
determine the type and scale of retail project that can be developed in
the Broadview Heights Town Center District. While it is unrealistic to
expect to attract a large regional center or upscale lifestyle center to
Broadview Heights, we can still capitalize on the district’s location and

Physical Plan
The following chapter sets the direction, tone, and intent for the Master
Plan. The Desired Framework Diagram represents the understanding and
synthesis of the existing and planned physical conditions, market opportunities, the Master Plan Goal and Objectives, as well as community
desires. These elements can be interpreted as the ‘building blocks’ of
the Town Center Master Plan. They should be used as a benchmark for
evaluating future development and design proposals.

objectives. Additionally, these groups can continue to be involved in future activities by providing comments, observations, support, and encouragement.
Desired Framework Diagram
The Desired Framework Diagram represents a culmination of analysis
and discussion within the community regarding the ‘big picture’ or conceptual physical ideas behind the Town Center Master Plan. The Desired
Framework Diagram is a tool for showing how the major physical pieces
of the Town Center, such as connections, gateways, and neighborhood
zones, should be organized in relation to each other and to the adjacent
community. It highlights areas with predominantly similar development
characteristics and patterns, and suggests a hierarchy between those
spaces.
Critical to the formulation of the Desired Framework Diagram is the
establishment of Guiding Principles for Future Development that can be
used to evaluate future development proposals. Those principles form
the baseline upon which the planning recommendations, land use recommendations, zoning and design guidelines should be based. As future development projects are planned and reviewed, it is fundamental
that they adhere to the guiding principles set forth by this Master Plan.
The nine key objectives outlined in Chapters I and II should be used to
guide future development in The Broadview Heights Town Center District. Starting with the Royalton Road – Broadview Road intersection
and extending outward to the four quadrants, future development must
be coordinated to establish a strong district identity and sense of place.
While it is unlikely that the district will be developed under a single
ownership, the district development guidelines will serve as a unifying
force encouraging quality development. Partnerships between property
owners, businesses, citizens, civic associations, governmental entities,
and other groups must be actively encouraged and supported. These
groups should help support the implementation of the plan’s goals and

The Illustrative Master Plan
The Master Plan illustration represents the planning concept for the
Town Center and provides one potential solution for the future of the
Town Center. This illustrative plan is intended to demonstrate a possible
alternative showing how the policies outlined in the Master Plan could
be implemented and should be used as another tool for evaluating future
projects within the Town Center. The Illustrative Plan is not intended to
be viewed as a site plan, but rather a concept of potential development
resulting from policies and principles outlined as part of the overall plan.
The purpose of this graphic is to illustrate how proposed infrastructure
changes, street and traffic modifications and building arrangements can
work with the available land and market conditions.
The Illustrative Plan drawing also provides a guide for physical improvements, showing concepts for new development and redevelopment opportunities by both public agencies and the private sector. The
private sector is encouraged to work together with the public sector to
develop alternative conceptual plans that support the Guiding Principles
for Future Development. It is important to understand that before any final decisions are made regarding new development proposals within the
Town Center, a great deal of attention will be necessary for the detailed
planning, design and review of those projects. A new Town Center Zoning Ordinance along with Design Guidelines must also be developed to
establish clear specifications for future development..

The Northwest Neighborhood
It is anticipated that the Master Plan will need to respond to changing
market conditions and dynamics, and therefore, the organization of the
physical development graphically depicted in the Illustrative Plan will
change. However, the principles and policies from which they were
founded must remain intact in order to preserve the underlying conceptual vision for the Town Center. The design concepts shown in the Illustrative Plan represent a synthesis of the consultant planning team’s
understanding of existing physical conditions, market analysis, and extensive feedback by many participants throughout the planning process.
Several recommendations shown in the Illustrative Plan will require specific studies from both an engineering and legal standpoint. Issues such
as land acquisition, common drainage facilities and road alignment will
need to be evaluated.

Design Elements / Policies
•
Develop a small public gathering place on the southwest corner of
the Broadview / Royalton Road intersection with strong pedestrian
connections to the public sidewalks.
•
Design internal circulation to encourage pedestrian interaction and
activity by providing wide sidewalks, numerous small gathering
places, and interesting landscape and hardscape.
•
Screen blank building walls and parking lots from the public streets
by using appropriate landscaping and building articulation, especially along Royalton Road.
•
Encourage sidewalk activity by developing outdoor seating, cafes
and other retail displays that are visible and accessible from the public streets.
•
Incorporate appropriate and attractive pedestrian amenities into all
major pedestrian areas. These amenities should include coordinated
street furniture, trash and recycling containers, bus shelters, paving,
landscaping and lighting.
•
Incorporate facilities for cyclists into street improvements and open
space plans. Facilities should include appropriately designed bike
lanes along with bike racks and storage opportunities.
It is important that the Town Center establish a unique identity that is unlike anywhere else in Broadview Heights. The Town Center would benefit in many ways from features that promote a distinctive identity. These
elements can also help to make the Town Center a cohesive district that
is easily recognizable. A series of signature focal points, open spaces and
gateways would help to reinforce this identity. The following are some
key design features that should be included:
•
Improve the Royalton and Broadview Road intersection by introducing decorative cross walks and paving patterns to strengthen the
district identity.
•
Reserve the property in the northwest and southwest quadrants of
the Broadview and Royalton Road intersection for a well coordinated Community Retail Shopping Center (or centers.) The retail
development should contain the appropriate collection of tenants
and must be of sufficient size to establish the critical mass required
to sustain a community retail center.
•
Develop focal points at the end of the proposed Town Center Loop
Roads to visually anchor the street and reinforce the desired quality
and character that will allow it to be successful as a dynamic retail
and commercial district. This can be accomplished through the use
of decorative paving, landscaping or other architectural elements.
•
Integrate mass transit opportunities into the town center by coordinating with the Regional Transit Authority. Bus stops should be
provided on both Royalton and Broadview Roads.
•
Provide architectural elements, such as sculpture, public art and
unique signage into the Town Center streetscapes to establish a
strong district identity.
•
Create small, urban ‘pocket parks’ to enhance the pedestrian environment throughout the Town Center and to provide transitions between structures. They can also serve to link the project to existing
natural site features.

successful operation of a community retail project. The impact of large
parking fields should be mitigated through the use of parking lot landscaping and screening along with generous pedestrian spaces.
Chapter VI 1
Building Setbacks and Orientations
On many existing sites, the significant building setbacks from the road
allow broad expanses of parking areas that dominate the view. On other
sites, the buildings are oriented in such a way that vehicular circulation
is too close to the major roadways with poor traffic circulation and sight
lines to maintain public safety.
Recommendations
A minimum 20’ setback for buildings is recommended. This setback
should only be permitted where the desired right-of-way width has been
established. Larger setbacks should be required along parcels where additional right-of-way acquisition is anticipated by the city.
Where feasible, minimize parking in front of retail uses to reduce building setback. Along Broadview and Royalton Roads, parking for small
parcels such as restaurants, small offices and freestanding retail, should
be located at the sides and rear of the building only, not between the
Right of Way and the building. This is especially critical in the Northwest and Southwest quadrants of the District when placing freestanding
buildings along the street edge. This should not apply to larger tenant
buildings where parking fields will be required between the storefront
and the right-of-way. Commercial sites and community shopping centers
should be organized to create shared parking opportunity.
While most buildings along Royalton Road will maintain a deeper
building setback, freestanding retail, restaurants, small offices and
elements of larger buildings or retail centers can address the street
with minimal setbacks.
Chapter VI 2
Parcel Access and Curb Cuts
BUILDING DESIGN
Numerous curb cuts exist along both Broadview and Royalton Roads
Building Articulation
providing each individual parcel with access. The curb cuts are often
spaced too close together, creating circulation and safety problems. Standards should be adopted which address specific design criteria including
shared entrances, spacing between entrances, and spacing from intersections.
Recommendations
Full access curb cuts should be established as indicated on the Illustrative Master Plan. Where possible, shared curb cuts are to be created, and
overall circulation within each quadrant should be designed concurrently
so that access drives and internal circulation is coordinated. Larger sites
(e.g. retail centers) will be permitted more than one curb cut with a mini-
Building articulation, which is the expression or outlining of parts of the
building by its architectural design, shall be provided in order to achieve
the following:
•
Create a complementary pattern or rhythm, dividing large buildings
into smaller, identifiable portions.
•
Break up the building mass through offsets and other methods that
articulate the horizontal and vertical building planes.
•
Incorporate details that create shade and cast shadows to provide
visual relief.
•
Provide vertical reveals and projections to express a rhythmic pattern across the elevation.
•
Provide other architectural details including texture, pattern, vertical and horizontal relief and other treatments that will reduce the
visual impact of long blank walls. Foundation landscaping (where
appropriate outside of Town Center Streets) designed to complement the building architecture is encouraged but not required.
•
Emphasize building entrances through the use of appropriate accent
materials, building massing, facade offsets and by developing dramatic combinations of architectural forms.
mum spacing as indicated on the Illustrative Master Plan.
Buildings with drive-through service may be permitted to have two curb
cuts depending on site layout. Shared access between adjoining properties should be encouraged to minimize curb cuts. Pad sites should share
access with larger retail centers for simplified on-site circulation. Curb
cuts should be spaced at least 125’ from any major intersection, edge of
pavement to edge of pavement. Right-in/Right-out only access should be
encouraged when secondary access is necessary. Appropriate stacking
distances should be designed for individual sites.
Building articulation shall be provided as specified in the following:
•
All nonresidential structures fifty thousand (50,000) square feet in
size or greater, except department stores, shall incorporate architectural variation of at least three feet in depth for every twenty-five
feet (25’) in façade length.
•

feet shall incorporate architectural variation of at least one foot in
depth for every twenty feet (25’) in façade length.

parcels of land outside of the Town Center Study Area and provide recommendations relative to zoning changes that may be appropriate based
on land use adjacencies and other factors that influence zoning. This
Chapter addresses those specific parcels and provides recommendations

was not tasked with preparing a detailed economic land use evaluation
and was not asked to prepare any detailed site assessments, ownership
or feasibility studies. The recommendations that follow are based solely
on discussions with the Steering Committee and City Staff along with a
review of the current zoning map. (Figure 20)
