A page entitled “St. Patrick’s Lot Reimagined” is divided into areas entitled “Site + Context,” “Commercial Displacement Strategies, and “Zoning.” The “Site + Context” area includes map excerpts that highlight a certain lot’s existing buildings, land contours, parking and driveways, and relationship to church. “Commercial Displacement Strategies” lists several strategies including “Commercial Preservation and Property Improvement” and “Local Hiring and Entrepreneurial Support.” ‘Zoning” explains the types of uses allowed.
