REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 6 of 72
Introduction and Overview This Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan was prepared pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 121B and 760 CMR 12.00. It is proposed on behalf of the Brockton Redevelopment Authority (the “BRA”) for recommendation by the Brockton Planning Board, for adoption by the Brockton City Council and for endorsement by the Honorable Mayor Bill Carpenter.
If approved by the City of Brockton, this Urban Redevelopment Plan will be submitted to the Secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (“DHCD”) for approval. Upon DHCD approval, the BRA will be authorized to proceed with implementation of this Urban Redevelopment Plan. Plan implementation is proposed to proceed in three phases, over the course of approximately ten years, with additional public actions identified for which the timing is not specifically programmed. These non-programmed public actions may proceed within the first ten years, after ten years, or may not occur because of future private development that may occur on the subject properties.
The City of Brockton, acting by and through the Brockton Redevelopment Authority, in accordance with the powers granted by Chapter 121B of the Massachusetts General Laws, as amended, and in recognition of the need to remove certain decadent conditions in the downtown section of the city, has caused this Urban Redevelopment Plan (URP) to be created for the 65.8 acre Urban Redevelopment District, bounded to the east by Warren Avenue, to the north by Pleasant Street, to the east by Commercial Street and the railroad tracks, and to the south by West Elm Street and Crescent Street, as shown on the District Map, (Map 1-A).
The Brockton Downtown Urban Redevelopment Plan proposes to build a strong, diverse, attractive downtown that can establish itself as a major economic force in the city and the metro south region. Redevelopment proposed pursuant to this URP will remove the decadent conditions that exist, and revitalize and stabilize the Urban Redevelopment Area through a combination of strategic public action and incentives for private enterprise.
This Urban Redevelopment Plan serves in part as an implementation mechanism for the strategies identified in the recently completed Brockton Downtown Action Strategy (“Action Strategy”), which identifies ways in which Brockton can attract new businesses and residents that contribute to the financial viability of the City, increase the vibrancy of downtown, and attract a broader socio-economic mix of residents and businesses.
A series of core action strategies are identified in that plan to accomplish this vision for the downtown:
Re-establish the feel of a vibrant downtown by increasing amenities. Continue to improve public safety and to boost the perception of safety. Continue efforts to create a Downtown Brockton Higher Educational Collaborative that
will provide a seamless and supportive environment for high school completion, workforce-skills training; and degree programs.
Encourage entertainment venues and cultural organizations to locate downtown.
Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 7 of 72
Promote diversity of community by helping ethnic restaurants, boutiques, and food stores to locate downtown.
Actively target new small-business entrepreneurs such as co-working spaces, breweries and small-batch distilleries, maker spaces, and pop-up retail locations that create opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Improve transportation connectivity, both within downtown and between downtown and the rest of Brockton.
Upgrade downtown’s electrical infrastructure. Launch a new marketing campaign for downtown.
The Action Strategy identifies a series of catalytic development projects – projects whose construction can encourage and inspire other projects and spread revitalization success throughout downtown in the first years following adoption of the Urban Redevelopment Plan. In fact, it is anticipated that, drawing from Downtown Brockton’s inherent locational strengths, and building on prior and ongoing downtown investment, the scale and quality of investment that can be realized through implementation of this URP will generate benefits for those who will invest – and for those who are already invested – in Downtown Brockton.
If the URP were to be fully implemented, it would bring more than $80.3 million in private investment to several long underutilized and vacant sites. Because the City of Brockton has previously established a District Improvement Financing (“DIF”) District in this location, this private investment would generate up to $62.2 million in DIF funds over 30 years (including underlying District inflation). Construction of 631 new housing units permitted under the City’s 40R Smart Growth Zoning District, adopted in 2007, would yield an additional $1,893,000 in 40R Density Bonus payments.
Section 12.02(5) describes the consistency of the URP with prior public plans, other regional plans and policies, as well as the Commonwealth’s Sustainable Development Principles, and with the revitalization goals resulting from a public process involving the Brockton community.
There are no known impediments in the project area from wetlands, floodplains, hazardous wastes or soil conditions. Any unanticipated hazards that may be encountered during construction will be addressed properly and in full accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
These development projects will bring new life and vitality to Brockton’s downtown, and will have a transformative impact on the project area. To accomplish the necessary financing and land assembly, the success of this effort will require the authority granted by the Urban Redevelopment Program.
In summary, approval of the Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan and District Improvement Financing Program will empower the BRA to take public actions in support redevelopment, and will allocate future DIF Tax Increment resulting from redevelopment toward public infrastructure improvements to the benefit of the City of Brockton and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

12.02 (1) Characteristics Downtown Brockton is proposed for designation as an Urban Redevelopment District because it is believed that public action as authorized through this Urban Redevelopment Plan (URP) will allow for redevelopment on a scale and quality that would not happen by private actions alone. Existing conditions in the proposed District include substantial areas of vacant and underutilized land, and building vacancy and disrepair. The downtown area as a whole is characterized by a substantial percentage of paved area, including both on- and off-street parking and roadways. Within the overall District area of 65.8 acres, the area of off-street parking totals 16.98 acres, or 25.8% of the total land area within the District. (See Map 1-C). The area of paved area associated with roadways within the District is approximately 13.45 acres, or 20.4% of the total land area within the District. Taken together, off-street parking and paved roadways total more than 45% of the land area within the District. These characteristics contribute to a lack of perceived pedestrian comfort and amenity, and support a finding of decadence within the proposed District.
This URP proposes public actions including Brockton Redevelopment Authority acquisition of land and buildings, building demolition and spot clearance, land and building disposition, building renovation, and construction of public ways as more fully detailed herein. The City has enacted several public policies to encourage private development in Downtown Brockton and to generate resources needed to support public investment in this location. In 2007, the City adopted 40R Smart Growth Zoning which provides as-of-right permitting of residential and mixed-use development with allowable densities up to 100 units/acre. In 2014, the City Council approved creation of a Downtown Brockton Housing Development Incentive Program and Zone pursuant to the Commonwealth’s Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP). In 2015, the City Council approved creation of a District Improvement Financing (DIF) District which established the original assessed values within Downtow n Brockton, and provides for capture of future DIF Tax Increment in support of downtown infrastructure and other investments.
Existing Conditions Map 1-A shows the boundary of the proposed Brockton Downtown Urban Redevelopment District, bounded to the east by Warren Avenue, to the north by Pleasant Street, to the east by Commercial Street and the MBTA Commuter Rail railroad tracks, and to

the south by West Elm Street and Crescent Street, consisting of 65.8 acres in the center of Brockton’s downtown. The area is heavily urbanized and fully developed, although some paved open space exists as a result of previous demolition. The topography is characterized by a gentle north-east to south-west slope, generally perceived as flat, as illustrated in Map 1-A. The District is principally commercial or mixed commercial-residential, as can be seen in the Existing Land Use map (Figure 1-D), with the north-west portion of the district and the western perimeter containing some older residential uses. In the past ten years, a number of residential use buildings, including adaptive reuse of historic structures, have added new vitality to the downtown area. Renovated buildings including SoCo 1, SoCo 2 and the Station Lofts, a __-unit development at 124 Montello Street. The new Enso Flats – the 131-unit first phase of the fully-permitted two-phase Enterprise Block Development on Centre Street, represents the most significant investment in new construction in Downtown Brockton in a generation. The proposed District also includes several rooming houses along Warren Avenue and West Elm Street, and many civic and institutional uses including City Hall, the Courthouse, the UMass Donohue Institute, the offices and meeting space at Brockton’s 21st Century, and the Metro South Chamber of Commerce. Civic institutions just outside of the District, and within walking distance, include the Senior Center / Council on Aging, YMCA, the Brockton Public Library, and several schools. The District is the historical center of Brockton’s commercial district, and retail uses remain, particularly on Main Street and Legion Parkway, although the number of retail stores is

significantly less than in downtown’s heyday 80 years ago. The area is unfortunately characterized by vacant storefronts and abandonment. As part of this planning process, a property inventory was undertaken, and building condition forms including a photographic inventory was completed for every building within the proposed District. The forms were completed based on visual inspection during site walks, review of property record cards maintained by the City Assessor, and review of records in the City Planning office including, for several properties within the proposed District, detailed building evaluations undertaken in recent years. A large percentage of the properties in the District are tax-exempt, either because they were taken by tax-title or because they represent churches, charitable institutions, or various levels of government. These exempt properties represent 42% of the total land area and 56% of the assessed value of all properties in the District. Properties taken by the city for non-payment of taxes represent a full 16% by area of all properties in the district, and these properties do not currently contribute to the municipal tax base. Their proposed disposition and redevelopment is essential for the fiscal health of the municipality, and will be accomplished through this Urban Redevelopment Plan. A list of all parcels within the proposed District is included in Appendix A. The list includes assessors parcel ID, address, current landowner(s) and mailing address, parcel acreage, and zoning. Downtown Brockton includes a combination of larger scale commercial, office and industrial / warehousing uses, as well as several large surface parking lots. It is located immediately adjacent to both City Hall, and the Brockton Area Transit (BAT) Intermodal Center and MBTA commuter rail station (Middleborough/Lakeville line). Landscaping and public amenities in this Sub-district are limited, and substantial investments in the public infrastructure including lighting, streetscape, and structured parking will help to make this a successful location for residential development.
Downtown Brockton also benefits from recent and ongoing streetscape enhancements that were constructed following prior planning and design work in 2011. Sidewalks, brick pavers,

lighting, seating, street trees and an enhanced public park at the corner of Main and Centre Streets have all enhanced the pedestrian environment in Downtown Brockton, although more work remains to be done. One funding source identified in this URP is the recent MassWorks award of $1.276M to support downtown streetscape improvements.
The Legion Parkway and Frederick Douglass Avenue area includes a diverse mix of building uses and scales, and includes some of the most attractive and distinctive architecture in Downtown Brockton. Legion Parkway is the primary east-west corridor in this part of downtown, and with a double-barrel boulevard layout is among the most distinctive pedestrian corridors in Downtown Brockton. This corridor includes existing retail and mixed-use development fronting on wide sidewalks with many curbside parking spaces. It is an excellent location for additional development of both housing and convenience retail outlets. The new Brockton Neighborhood Health Center, at the corner of Legion Parkway and Main Street, has become both a visual focal point and a center of activity in Downtown Brockton. Frederick Douglass Avenue, running parallel to Legion Parkway to the south, is proposed here as a location for a restaurant incubator and coworking space.
The neighborhoods on Green Street and Warren Avenue adjacent to the new Vicente’s Market include both residential uses and a mix of smaller retail uses, with both stable retail uses and other vacant retail sites. The residential uses are typically 2- to 3-story single-family and 2- to 3- family homes.

Current Zoning The District contains land in three zoning districts (C-2, C-3 and I-2), and also includes three 40R Smart Growth Zoning Overlay Districts adopted in 2007. Prior to adoption of the 40R Overlay Zoning District, residential and mixed-use development were not allowed under the City Zoning. What development had occurred, such as residential adaptive reuse through the SoCo 1 and SoCo 2 projects, had been permitted by use variance. The underlying zoning is General Commercial (C-2), Central Business Zone (C-3) and General Industrial (I-2).The C-2 and C-3 zones are described in Sec. 27-29 and 27-28 of Appendix C of the City of Brockton Ordinances and the I-2 zone is described in Section 27-34. The C-2 zone is a general commercial zone permitting neighborhood commercial uses as well as a wide range of other uses from laundromats, medical and dental offices, and drug stores to automobile repair services, undertaking establishments, and wholesale businesses. No residential uses are allowed in this zone, however temporary lodging, such as hotels and motels, are permitted as special uses. The C-3 zone allows all the same principal and accessory uses as the C-2 zone as well as community health centers/clinics. The I-2 zone permits uses that include the manufacturing of food products, glass, textiles and those that add value to materials that were prepared off site. Also included in this category are tool and die operations, railroad yards, and the sale and storage of lumber and building materials. The area also includes three 40R (Overlay) Zoning Sub-Districts: Downtown Core; Arts/Culture; and Star Market. All three Sub-Districts allow residential and mixed-use development as a matter of right, subject to compliance with the 40R Ordinance and the 40R Design Standards (Appendix D). The 40R Ordinance allows greater building scales and densities in the Downtown Core Sub-District than the other Sub-Districts in order to both match the scale of existing larger buildings, and to stimulate substantial private investment in Downtown Brockton. This Sub-District includes several significant publicly owned parcels, many of which are currently in use as surface parking lots. New private investment in this Sub- District, including redevelopment of underutilized public parcels, provides a financing source for implementation of this URP, both directly – through land disposition proceeds – and by generating DIF Revenue.
Cultural uses such as performance or visual arts exhibition space would enhance and strengthen the existing mix of retail / commercial, residential and cultural / institutional uses in the areas of Legion Parkway and Frederick Douglass Avenue. This area will benefit from reinvestment in both smaller scale residential development, and in mixed- use development with first floor retail / commercial and upper story residential uses as proposed through this URP.
The 40R Ordinance allows non- residential or mixed-use development to be located at the intersection of Pleasant Street and Warren Avenue, with frontage directly on one or both of

those streets with parking located at the side and rear of the building(s). Many people drive past this location on Pleasant Street on their way into Downtown Brockton. It is therefore important that redevelopment of this "gateway" location exemplify the style and quality of architecture and site design that will characterize the revitalization of Downtown Brockton. A visually distinct and exciting building, including an architectural focal point that is taller than the building itself, such as a tower, turret or cupola at the intersection of Pleasant Street and Warren Avenue is encouraged.

Proposed Zoning There are two separate proposals pending before the Brockton City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinances relative to land within the proposed Urban Redevelopment District.
Proposed Amendments to C-3 Zoning District In the current C-3 Zoning District, commercial development is not required to provide any new off-street parking. This provision of the zoning dates back to when there was less demand on the current public parking lots and garages than there is today. The Director of Planning and Economic Development has proposed zoning amendments that would extend the commercial parking requirements applicable in the C-2 Zoning District to apply in the C-3 District as well.
Proposed Expansion of 40R Smart Growth Zoning District The City of Brockton has also proposed amendments to the existing 40R Downtown Brockton Smart Growth Overlay District. The proposed amendments, currently on file with DHCD (pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 40R) and pending consideration within a public hearing of the City Council, would expand the boundaries of the current 40R Sub-Districts adopted in 2007 to cover all of the “downtown” area (including all of the proposed Urban Redevelopment District), and would amend the 40R parking requirements to limit surface parking lots and to encourage payment of funds in lieu of parking spaces in order to support a new public parking garage. The intent of these amendments is to allow developers to meet their parking needs in a way that supports a new public garage that is expected to unlock greater development potential across downtown.
Although the current zoning is very favorable for the development envisioned in the Action Strategy and proposed in this URP, the proposed zoning amendments would result in an improved local regulatory framework for redevelopment in Downtown Brockton.

Proposed Public Actions Before investment can happen on the scale set out in the 2015 Downtown Brockton Action Strategy, public action as proposed in this Urban Redevelopment Plan will be needed.
This URP proposes public actions including Brockton Redevelopment Authority acquisition of land and buildings, building demolition and spot clearance, land and building disposition, building renovation, and construction of public ways. Redevelopment, renovation and construction of new public ways is anticipated to result both from direct public action, and by private developers working pursuant to conditions on BRA disposition of property. All public actions proposed pursuant to this URP will proceed in phases as detailed in the Financial Plan and elsewhere. Because two of the primary financing sources for implementation of this URP are directly related to the scale, nature and timing of private development – specifically, the generation of DIF Tax Increment Revenue and the issuance of 40R Density Bonus payments – the resources available toward implementation will be available in proportion to the amount and timing of private development.
Parcels Eligible for Acquisition Negotiated acquisition or, where necessary, eminent domain activities will be undertaken, as proposed, within locations that have been determined to be decadent, in order to facilitate the redevelopment and rehabilitation of properties in accordance with the objectives of this URP. The Brockton Redevelopment Authority will not acquire property by eminent domain unless there is a public purpose warranting such taking. \ Table 12.02(1)(A): Parcels Proposed for Acquisition presents all properties identified for acquisition, including Assessor’s Parcel ID;; street address; lot size; and owner(s).

At the time of acquisition by tax foreclosure, this URP anticipates such action by the City as part of implementation of this URP. Proceeds of such sales are identified as revenues in the URP Financial Plan. In addition to privately owned parcels that will be acquired for disposition, the City of Brockton proposes to introduce the following City-owned properties for disposition for rehabilitation or redevelopment:
The city will be conducting a Municipal Facilities Assessment and Master Plan in 2016 that will, among other things, quantify the space and staffing needs for police and fire services. It is anticipated that one of its recommendations will be to build new facilities to replace the 131 year old fire station and 93 year old fire alarm buildings at 42 and 52 Pleasant Street, and the 48 year old police headquarters at 7 Commercial Street. A new police and central fire station would allow the city to make the now vacant properties for redevelopment. The historic nature of the fire station and fire alarm building lend them to rehabilitation with ground floor retail/restaurant use and residential above. The former police headquarters would be razed to make way for large-scale mixed use/residential development.
Following the construction of a public safety complex to house both the Police and Fire Stations, the two fire stations on Pleasant Street will be disposed via RFP with the requirement that they be renovated into a mixed commercial-residential use.

Buildings to be Rehabilitated Buildings renovated pursuant to the 40R Smart Growth Zoning will be subject to compliance with the 40R Ordinance and Design Standards including the following Sec. 8.8.1.
8.8.1. Additional Standards
8.8.1.1. All renovations shall, to the maximum extent feasible, maintain the scale and proportion of the original building elements including roof shape and height, structural framework, cornice, sign band, window size and symmetry, and decorative elements.
8.8.1.2. On a building proposed for renovation pursuant to the District Ordinance, the covering or removal of original façade elements (columns, pilasters, fenestration, arches, lintels, decorative elements) is prohibited. Proposals for a façade renovation that uses a particular historical style should utilize accurate elements or materials of that style.
8.8.1.3. Applicants for renovation of existing buildings are encouraged to meet with the Brockton Historical Commission prior to submitting an Application to seek their opinion regarding the historical significance of the buildings, if any, and to seek their advice regarding building elements that may benefit from restoration.
The following specific building rehabilitation project is proposed as an important catalyst to the overall implementation of the URP. Public surveys and focus groups repeatedly emphasized the importance of developing at least two or three distinctive restaurants in Downtown Brockton that would provide people a good reason to visit, and to enhance the District’s vibrancy and amenity.
Frederick Douglass Center: Restaurant Incubator and Co-Working Space The two story art deco building at 11-15 Frederick Douglass Avenue is the site of the proposed restaurant incubator and co-working space. The building foot print is approximately 6,300 square feet with a total leasable area of 10,000 square feet. There is also a full basement that is not calculated into the leasable area total.
The building was constructed in the 1930’s. The first floor façade is divided into six bays. The three on the right of the arched central doorway are each 25 foot wide. The first two bays to the left of the central doorway are each 25 feet, with the last bay 15 feet wide.
The proposed rehabilitation of the Douglass Center is expected to include Restaurant Incubator spaces, and a co-working space.
A Restaurant Incubator is a relatively new concept. It is intended to help entrepreneurial restauranteurs who lack the capital to make an initial investment to grow their business with limited initial overhead. The Restaurant Incubator proposed here would consist of a series of small, 750 – 1,000 square foot vanilla box spaces, each with their own kitchen constructed to meet commercial kitchen code requirements. The kitchens are proposed to be built with shared black iron duct work and refrigeration to help reduce the build out expense. The “front of the house” dining area would have space for up to eight tables and a small bar. The basement would house prep kitchens, dishwashing, and storage needs. Budding restaurateurs would

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 30 of 72
lease a space for a maximum of five years, enough time to prefect menus, build a base of customers and otherwise polish their concept. At the end five years, they would relocate to larger restaurant space, hopefully in downtown Brockton.
On the second floor of this building, a co-working space is proposed as a productive workspace for start-up’s and freelance workers. It offers a variety of work environments ranging from a coffee house living room, quiet spaces, collaborative commons and a telephone friendly area. Members would have access on a 24 hour basis while non-members are welcome during regular business hours. The space is features high speed wireless access, private meeting and conference rooms with presentation equipment, printers in various formats, and a coffee bar. Examples of co-working space in Massachusetts include Work Bar in Boston, Work Station in Cohasset, The Wheelhouse in Concord and Groundwork in New Bedford.
Scattered Site Building Renovation and Rehabilitation A total of thirty properties have been targeted for rehabilitation within the Urban Redevelopment District. These include privately owned buildings that have been determined to be in moderate or severe disrepair, and whose renovation is important to the health and well-being of the residents of the area. This rehabilitation will primarily be market rate, driven by health and building code enforcement and a framework of incentives to improve the housing market and economic vitality in the area, and not driven exclusively by public subsidy.

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 32 of 72
The two vacant lots at the intersection of Warren Ave and Pleasant Street are proposed to be acquired and sold for development into a mixed commercial and residential use.
The existing convenience retail store at 95 Montello Street near the W.B. Mason headquarters is proposed to be razed to accommodate a new office building, or expansion of the adjacent building.
Main Street “Missing Teeth”
The uniform street-front of Main Street is broken by two parking lots and one vacant parcel on the block between West Elm and School Streets. One of the parking lots is currently owned by the City, and through implementation of this URP the City would propose disposition of this lot to support infill development and a walkable mixed-use district. This proposed disposition would not move forward until an adequate supply of off-street parking has been provided to accommodate new development, and to offset the loss of spaces that would result from development of this parcel.
Legion Parkway/Warren Ave/Vicente’s
Legion Parkway is a natural extension of the important Centre Street corridor and in need of additional planning and redevelopment activities. While the east end of the parkway has strong ties to Main Street, and the center is dotted with historic structures, the western end at Warren Avenue becomes a no man’s land of auto oriented businesses with little connection to the surrounding area. The redevelopment of key parcels on Warren Avenue would knit the neighborhood to the west into the larger community.
Recent investment by the Commonwealth has supported the rehabilitation of a long vacant Star Market into a new Vicente grocery store and a branch of the Brockton Neighborhood Health Center. (See related news article in Appendix I). In support of the goal of creating a safe walkable path to Vicente’s, this URP proposes to acquire or otherwise cause the redevelopment of the vacant lots at 102 and 108 Pleasant Street, and the auto oriented lots at 76, and 81 Warren Avenue.
A similar effort is anticipated in the high crime area of Green Street should cause the rehabilitation of several troubled properties to support the “housing first” homeless assistance policy. However, with the exception of the single-family house at 48 Warren Avenue (092-003), which is proposed for acquisition and disposition, the City anticipates relying on stepped-up code enforcement efforts to advance improvements to other Green Street properties.

12.02 (2) Area Eligibility
Location and History Brockton was an extremely prosperous New England mill town in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. During the Civil War, Brockton was America's largest producer of shoes. At the dawn of the 20th century, the city had a population of 40,000, and more than 6,000 people were employed in over 100 separate shoe manufacturing entities. These factories created the wealth that would enrich the downtown with many of the beautiful buildings that still stand today. Thomas Edison built his model of a complete central power station in Brockton in the 1880s which demonstrated that the Edison three-wire system was capable of providing the general public with safe, stable, and efficient light and power on a community-wide basis. The former John Whipple House at 42 Green St. in Brockton in the heart of the Urban Redevelopment District was initially given electricity as part of Edison’s demonstration. One of the issues facing the project area is the difficulty in providing sufficient power for modern development. The electrical system was placed underground in the downtown, which made its expansion difficult and costly. As typical of many northern industrial cities, the factories closed or moved south beginning in the latter half of the twentieth century, causing an increase in poverty and a reduction in investment. Numerous economic and social forces have taken their toll on the city over the last fifty years. Economic flight from the downtown to the surrounding towns and perimeter neighborhoods exacerbated these conditions, resulting in a significant number of empty and vacant buildings, many abandoned and taken by the City via tax-title.
Relevant Municipal Statistics The proposed Urban Redevelopment District is located in a designated Environmental Justice Community. Different Census Block Groups meet these criteria based on incomes, minority populations, non-English speaking populations, or a combination of these factors. Downtown redevelopment as proposed in this URP would be consistent with the objectives defined in the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Policy on Environmental Justice.
According to the 2010 US Census, 31.2% of residents are black or African American, 46.7% are white, 2.3% are Asian, 0.4% are American Indian, 12.5% identify as other races, and 6.9% identify themselves as two or more races, (10.0% of any of these races are Hispanic or Latino). Brockton has the largest population of Cape Verdean ancestry of any city in the United States; 9.0% of residents report this ancestry. The downtown study area has a higher rate of African American residents (36.9%), higher rate of Hispanic people (15.8%) and lower rate of white residents (32.3%) than Brockton as a whole.
The average household in Brockton has 2.8 people and a median age of 36. Households in the downtown study area tend to be somewhat smaller with an average household size of 2.1 people, and they tend to have fewer cars. The average car-ownership level for households within the downtown study area is just 0.7 cars, or less than one for each household. A wide

discrepancy in household income levels in the study area suggests the presence of a greater-than-average proportion of affordable housing units. Citywide, age groups are spread relatively evenly among children, adults and elderly. In educational attainment, downtown residents skew slightly lower than the rest of the city.
MassDevelopment, as part of its Transformative Development Initiative, compiled the following data relative to Brockton and, where available, specific to the area of the proposed Urban Redevelopment District.
Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 35 of 72
As can be seen from the tables above, the poverty rate in the city of Brockton (17.9%) is higher than that of Massachusetts (11.4%). However, the study area has a significantly higher poverty rate than the rest of Brockton, 73.8%, approaching 3 out of every four households! Similarly, while more Brockton residents have failed to complete high school than their state-wide peers (19.4% versus 10.6%), fully 44% of district residents have less than a high school education.
As might be expected, these figures translate into lower area median income. While Brockton has a lower median income than the state ($49,025 versus $66,866), the median income of the study area is only $11,711.

Necessity for Public Action As required, this URP includes a Declaration approved by the BRA which found that within the boundaries of the Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment District, as otherwise described, there exist conditions of blight, deterioration, decline of property values and business vacancies, and other factors which are injurious to the public health, safety, morals and welfare of the residents of the Commonwealth and people frequenting the area. Further it finds that many of the properties within the District may require acquisition and clearance because their state of deterioration may make impracticable their reclamation by conservation or rehabilitation, while others may be conserved or rehabilitated in such a manner that the conditions of blight and deterioration may be alleviated or eliminated.
The Brockton Redevelopment Authority further found that redevelopment can’t be accomplished with existing municipal regulatory powers or by the private sector alone, and to correct the conditions as herein described, it is necessary and in the public interest to establish the Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment District and to utilize therein the redevelopment provisions of Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 121B.
At their regularly scheduled meeting on November 4, 2015, the Board of the Brockton Redevelopment Authority unanimously approved the following Finding and Declaration:

12.02 (3) Project Objectives
Vision Statement The following Vision Statement was first established in the 2011 Brockton Downtown Report and was re-confirmed within the Action Strategy planning process:
Downtown Brockton shall be a lively, walkable multi-cultural center that celebrates the arts, history, innovation, and the Salisbury Brook, capitalizing on its role as a regional governmental, service and transit center. Downtown Brockton will feature new housing and mixed-use development strengthening the Downtown and renewing it as the heart of the City. (McCabe pg. 2, October 2011)
This Vision Statement also guides this URP. This URP is fully consistent with, and is intended to advance, this endorsed Vision Statement.
Housing as Basis of Economic Development and Downtown Revitalization Research conducted by the Metropolitan Regional Planning Council for the Greater Boston area shows that the demand for multifamily housing units in Brockton will increase by 1,300 rental units and 800 owner-occupied units by 2030. This demand is driven by Brockton's nature of being a "Gateway Community" that attracts immigrants and migrants and the desire of to live close to transit. Brockton's own Housing Strategy also documents the need for housing. Further documentation of demand is available from the Foundation for Growth, Housing and Employment in 2020 Technical Report by the Donahue Institute of the University of Massachusetts prepared for the Massachusetts Housing Partnership, Foundation for Growth Initiative.
Notably, an estimated 14% of Brockton households have no vehicles available, and many 2-adult households have only one vehicle available.
The BRA understands DHCD’s policy objective that, in any project area the reuse of which will be predominately residential, an objective shall be the provision of housing units for low or moderate income persons. The City of Brockton’s commitment to advance this objectives is already secure in the standards it applies to new development in Downtown Brockton. The language in the Downtown Brockton 40R Smart Growth Zoning District Ordinance at Sec. 27-91 (K)(1), requires that:
"Twenty percent (20%) of all dwelling units constructed in a Development Project shall be Affordable Units. Twenty-five percent (25%) of all rental dwelling units in a Development Project shall be Affordable Units. Provided however, for Development Projects in which all of the dwelling units are limited to occupancy by elderly persons and/or by persons with disabilities, twenty-five percent 25%) of the dwelling units shall be Affordable Units, whether the dwelling units are rental or ownership units."
The fact that all of the development proposed as part of this URP is expected to be permitted and constructed pursuant to 40R will ensure that development, as it moves forward, will create
Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 39 of 72
housing that will be available to a broad range of incomes and demographics (i.e. family size). In addition to unmet regional (and local) demand for new housing and retail, the characteristics of existing properties in downtown also create opportunities for redevelopment. Low land values, modest building values, and property-utilization rates show that opportunities exist for rehab, infill, and/or large-scale redevelopment near the commuter rail station.
The City of Brockton has also enacted policy to ensure that, as development and redevelopment takes place, it will create new resources to support public investment downtown.
Following on recommendations from prior planning efforts, a District Improvement Financing (DIF) District was adopted in 2015 pursuant to Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 40Q. Within the DIF District (which encompasses all of the proposed Urban Redevelopment District), additional property tax revenues resulting from new investment in downtown will be available for the City to direct toward implementation of the redevelopment strategies described in this plan. DIF revenues can be used for a range of eligible purposes, including public infrastructure investments. The DIF District is an important foundation for the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy, as it ensures that, as progress is made toward redevelopment, this will translate into new revenues available to support ongoing plan implementation.
Smart growth zoning (a “40R district”) represents another financing source, as each residential unit constructed within a 40R district is entitled to $3,000 of unrestricted Density Bonus funds to the City (subject to appropriation by the legislature, which to date has been reliable). Expansion of the 40R district, which has been proposed separately and is currently under review, would expand opportunities for renovation and new development, with a corresponding increase in potential buildout and both 40R and DIF revenues.
As a precursor to this Urban Redevelopment Plan, the City has completed an intensive public planning process resulting in Brockton Downtown Action Strategy completed in December 2015. This URP builds directly on the Action Strategy recommendations and provides the City with the legal tools necessary to implement the Action Strategy (through this URP).
Guided by the recommendations of the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy, the DIF, the 40R district expansion, and many years of prior public planning efforts, this URP will help stimulate new private investment that generates revenue to support continued public investment in downtown improvements. In other words, the growth spurred by these planning efforts will pay for even more growth.
Plan Objectives Downtown Brockton is in the midst of a dynamic period in the real estate market. This URP is a dynamic plan, and is fundamentally organized to anticipate and support dynamic actions on the part of the City of Brockton and the BRA. With the 2015 enactment of DIF, a foundation of the financing resources available to implement this URP will result directly from the success of the redevelopment efforts as DIF revenues accrue from new investment.
The objectives of this URP include anticipating and facilitating real estate development and redevelopment in Downtown Brockton, then reinvesting to support increasing real estate values.
Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 40 of 72
This section includes a description of each of the development projects that this URP is intended to support directly through public action as proposed herein.
Because of the dynamic nature of the DIF financing, which necessitates that specific projections of financial resources for implementation will accrue as a function of development and redevelopment, this URP proposes phased development and public investment. Early phase projects – especially those that were conceptualized in detail in the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy – are more clearly articulated, including relative to projections of future Assessed Values and associated DIF Revenues. This URP also includes other projects that are anticipated to proceed in later phases.
Development projects included in this URP are either proposed for public action (i.e. acquisition, disposition, rehabilitation, etc.) or as future projects anticipated to move forward as a result of private development (and which would contribute DIF Revenues in support of the URP Financial Plan). These are summarized on Map 3-A Index of Redevelopment Parcels.
Proposed phasing of these development projects is as follows:
Proposed for years 1-3 include the following:
Enterprise Phase II, with 102 units of housing, between Petronelli Way and Centre Street. Rehabilitation of 93 Centre Street, known popularly as The Furniture Building, into 60-70 units of
market-rate housing above the first-floor commercial space. A new 13,000 SF pharmacy. Creation of a new, temporary, 210 space parking facility. Construction of a 400 space Municipal Parking Garage. Rehabilitation of the historic Petronelli Building into a commercial first floor and residential upper
floors.
Additional projects have been identified in years 3-10+, carefully phased to allow the most efficient construction staging and to allow enough time to negotiate the public/private financing strategies that most of these projects will likely require. Proposed for years 3-5 include:
Petronelli Way Housing, consisting of 135 units of housing and a 33 space surface parking lot between Petronelli Way and Franklin Street.
Redevelopment on Warren Avenue
Proposed for years 5-10:
Montello Street Mixed-Use Development, consisting of 130 units of housing and 9,000 sf of retail and a 150 space structured parking lot.
Infill development on Main Street
Proposed for years 10+:
Commercial Street mixed-use development, including 155 units of housing, 9,000 sf of retail and a 260 structured parking garage adjacent to the Train Station, on the site currently occupied by the Brockton Police Department.

Estimates of Job Displacement, Retention and Creation
Expanded Planning Efforts (Future) While the initiatives identified in this Urban Redevelopment Plan focus exclusively on initiatives within the proposed Urban Redevelopment District, the City is focused on opportunities in the broader study area that was the focus of the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy. Planning and redevelopment efforts in the following locations may proceed either concurrently or subsequent to the implementation of this URP, but are important to understand as context for the City’s overall downtown redevelopment vision:
CSX District – Building on its prior dedicated study of the site,2 the City would like to initiate a master planning program for the 55 acres surround the now vacant CSX freight yard located east of main line between Eliot, Court and North Cary Streets. The 31.27 acre CSX property has been declared surplus by the railroad and is one of the largest, privately held, undeveloped parcels in the city. The plan must balance future land use, zoning, infrastructure needs with financing and economic constraints. Due to its proximity to public transit, the CSX site has emerged as a prime candidate for creation of a “one-stop” homeless center and as a possible a future site for the city’s main police and fire stations.
Judiciary Square – A redevelopment plan for the area bounded by West Elm Street, Main Street, Belmont Street and Warren Avenue should also be created. Already home

to Brockton District Trial Court and Plymouth Probate and Family Court, the district could be home to a new Superior Courthouse to replace the 125 year old facility at 72 Belmont Street.
Downtown North – This area is bound by the CSX/MBTA railroad on the east, Linden and Spring Street on the north, and Pleasant/Court Streets on the south. With Perkins Park at its center, the district is bisected by both North Main and North Montello Streets. This neighborhood has a direct impact on the success of the downtown core, and holds considerable opportunity given its access to transit. The City is engaged in discussions with the owners and operators of Father Bill’s Mainspring regarding how best to provide continued service to homeless persons in a way that best complements the City’s efforts toward revitalization of Downtown Brockton.
Downtown South – The land south of downtown and north of the Salisbury Brook contains many of the City’s cultural assets, including the Brockton Public Library, the YMCA, Council on Aging and the School Department headquarters. The relocation of the Plymouth County District Attorney from their current location and the disposition of the building at 32 Belmont should serve as the catalyst for a larger redevelopment plan. Effort should be made to build up along Main Street and enhance the unique public space created by the Sycamore Grove at the former BAT Bus terminal. A planning study of the area could address YMCA expansion needs, identify additional sites for new cultural amenities, and set the stage for creating a new downtown neighborhood around the park. The City is actively engaged in an effort to secure investment by the Commonwealth in support of a Higher Education Collaborative in this area of Downtown Brockton.

The City of Brockton and the BRA will continue to evaluate whether public objectives for redevelopment would benefit from future amendments to this URP. Future amendments would be introduced, and considered through the same public process, public hearings and DHCD review and approval that were part of the enactment of this URP.

Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 45 of 72
12.02 (4) Financial Plan A Financial Plan for the implementation of the Downtown Brockton URP has been prepared and is provided in Table 12.02(4)(A): Proposed Acquisition Costs by Phase. The plan was developed to enable implementation to take place over four phases and the budget reflects this phasing program. In addition, the financing plan was developed in accordance with 760 CMR 12.02 (4), which requires that the plan include: Project Costs
Estimated cost of each parcel to be acquired and identification of any property in which any officer or employee of the municipality or of the BRA has, or is believed to have, any direct or indirect interest:
Generally, the Urban Redevelopment Plan requires a value for each anticipated acquisition in order to formulate the anticipated financing to acquire those properties. Assessor’s values are used at the plan stage because the plan is a separate approval from the acquisition approval which might not take place for a considerable length of time (depending on the circumstances). At the time of acquisition approval, two full appraisals will completed and if the appraisals are more than 20% different a third may be required.
Work is underway to determine any properties proposed for acquisition in which any officer or employee of the municipality or of the BRA has or is believed to have any direct or indirect interest.
Detailed cost estimates for site preparation.

Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 46 of 72
The Downtown Brockton URP contemplates the acquisition and redevelopment of eighteen (18) existing properties. There are no special site conditions, such as grading, drainage or soil issues, anticipated in connection with these properties. Other costs such as environmental testing, including subsurface testing and lead and asbestos surveys, as well as a detailed structural assessment of the buildings, could not be obtained due to lack of funding availability at this time. Environmental assessments will be undertaken upon acquisition of the properties by the BRA and appropriate offsets will be made to reflect any downward adjustment of appraisal pricing as a result of identified contaminants.
Detailed cost estimates for all proposed public improvements. Public improvements directly related to the redevelopment activities contemplated by the Downtown Brockton URP will include sidewalk, street lighting and landscaping upgrades as summarized in Section 8.
Detailed cost estimates for relocation expenses.
Discussion of relocation expenses is summarized in Section 9. All relocation that is undertaken will comply with applicable state and federal regulations.
Detailed cost estimates establishing the total project cost.
The total project costs are shown in Table 10.
Project budget including administrative expenses and reserves for contingencies. The project budget, presented in Table 10, includes administrative expenses and reserves for contingencies.
Project Budget: The total estimated gross cost of implementing the activities contemplated by the Downtown Brockton URP, including public improvements, is estimated to be $______. A phased budget detailing all costs is provided in Table 10. Funding for the implementation of the Downtown Brockton URP will come from several sources as discussed below and as summarized in Table 10.

Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 50 of 72
The table on the preceding page, “Projected Tax Increment in Downtown Brockton DIF Study Area” aggregates (1) the estimates of new revenues resulting from new development with (2) the revenues resulting from changes and expirations of TIF agreements, and (3) new revenues resulting from the assumed annual inflation rate of 0.75% within the District as a whole. The following provides a summary of the information in the table, indexed to the numerical column heading:
a) Column A illustrates the annual inflation rate within the Study Area which was assumed at 0.75%. This assumed value was discussed previously, and can be modified to illustrate how variations in inflation affect financial projections through the life of the District. Because of the variability of inflation, including the potential that aggregate property values within the Study Area may not experience inflation, this analysis includes revenue projections both with and without inflation. The more conservative projections are those that do not project future inflation.
b) Column B is the Original Assessed Value within the Study Area, not adjusted for inflation.
c) Column C is the Tax Increment associated with each of the development projects included in this URP. The revenues projections can be varied to illustrate how it affects revenue projections, and as development timelines refine and vary throughout plan implementation.
d) Column D illustrates that the Tax Increment first appearing in FY16 would continue to be available toward DIF expenses for each year of the life of the District.
e) Column E illustrates the amount of revenue projected to be realized as a result of changes in TIF agreements (based on the language in the executed agreements), and the expiration of existing TIF agreements, within the Study Area.
f) Column F illustrates the cumulative revenue impacts of all such TIF related revenues. g) Column G illustrates the annual revenue impacts of inflation based on the assumed
annual inflation rate of 0.75%. h) Column G illustrates the cumulative revenue impacts of inflation shown in Column G. i) Column I illustrates the total tax levy within the Study Area resulting from both new
development and TIF changes, but not adjusted for inflation. j) Column J adjusts the values in Column I to account for annual inflation. k) Column K illustrates the amount of projected DIF Tax Increment, taking into account
both new development and TIF changes/expirations, but not including inflation. l) Column L illustrates the amount of projected DIF Tax Increment, taking into account both
new development, TIF changes/expirations, and annual inflation of 0.75%.
Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 51 of 72
The following chart corresponds to the prior table projected DIF Revenues resulting from implementation of the Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan:
As required by DIF statute, revenue projections take into account TIF Agreements in effect within the DIF District, and projections of DIF Revenues do not count tax revenue that will not accrue as a result of existing TIF Agreements.

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 52 of 72
Bonds Issued and Supported by DIF Revenues Capital investments will be needed during the initial phase of implementation of this URP in order to facilitate the type and scale of development proposed. Of primary importance is the availability and location of parking, as well as the safety, comfort and amenity of the overall pedestrian and streetscape environment to facilitate connections between uses and parking.
The initial phase of implementation of this URP proposes acquisition of three parcels on Montello Street, immediately adjacent to the MBTA Commuter Rail Station. These parcels are currently occupied by a used car dealership (760 SF), a 2,098 SF vacant fast food restaurant owned by the City of Brockton and managed as parking by the Brockton Parking Authority, and a 1,739 SF Dunkin’ Donuts.
The Action Strategy recommends acquisition of these parcels for assembly and clearance, initially to serve as surface parking to facilitate redevelopment on nearby parcels (including adaptive reuse of the Furniture Building at 93 Centre Street), and then to be introduced for large-scale mixed-use development.
This URP also recognizes that the second phase of the Enterprise Block development, which is fully permitted, will, when complete, expand its positive impact on Downtown Brockton and the overall environment for redevelopment. This development proposed an approx. 400-space parking garage which would serve both its residents and businesses, and other uses within walking distance. Therefore, this URP recommends a bond issue, supported by DIF Revenues, to support financing for construction of this garage during the initial phase of implementation.
The terms of the bond issue will be proposed separately within the Downtown Brockton DIF Program, but the anticipated revenues from that bond issue are included as a revenue source in the URP Financial Plan.
Other Funding Sources Developer improvements concurrent with New Construction The 40R Design Standards Sec. 9.1.3 require that “Where Development Projects are proposed adjacent to Sidewalks that are not accessible to the handicapped in accordance with applicable laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board, improvements to Sidewalks may be required as a condition of Site Plan Approval provided said condition is not Unduly Restrictive.” Payment in Lieu of Parking HOME Funds

Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 55 of 72
12.02 (5) Local Approvals The revitalization of Downtown Brockton has been the subject of numerous public plans and reports. The proposed URP is located in an area that in 2015 has been subject to analysis and planning supported by a Transformative Development Initiative grant from MassDevelopment.
This URP builds off of previous plans, including the Downtown Brockton Market Study & Policy Recommendations (2009), the City of Brockton Development Planning: Downtown Report (2011), the Brockton EDSAT Report (2014) and the Downtown Brockton District Improvement Financing Analysis (2015).
The Brockton Downtown Action Strategy that was prepared concurrent with this URP advances a vision for redevelopment that will require land assembly in order to achieve. Disposition of well-sited and sized redevelopment parcels will facilitate private development that would not occur in the absence of public action.
On November 4, 2015, the Brockton Redevelopment Authority approved the Finding and Declaration referenced earlier based on a finding that private development alone will not realize the redevelopment potential needed for downtown prosperity, and that public action – including land assembly and disposition – will be an important catalyst to achieve redevelopment.
Prior planning efforts have recommending establishment of an urban redevelopment district, and have recommended the activation and empowerment of the Redevelopment Authority. (At the time of the 2009 study, Redevelopment Authority was constituted in name only, and was not meeting regularly.) The BRA’s approval of the Finding and Declaration formally initiated the urban redevelopment planning process, building on the prior months of work to document the City's policy and redevelopment objectives for downtown.
The public process for the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy, which formally began in July 2015, has consistently, and at every public meeting, included discussion of the connection between the Action Strategy and this URP. The Action Strategy planning process was envisioned as a foundation on which to base this URP, and this URP is intended as the legal and regulatory vehicle by which the City of Brockton and the BRA can implement the Action Strategy.
This Proposed Urban Redevelopment Plan includes a letter of support from the Honorable Mayor Bill Carpenter confirming the City of Brockton’s support for the proposed Urban Redevelopment Plan.
As described later in this URP, public hearings are expected to begin in January 2016 before the Brockton Planning Board and the Brockton Redevelopment Authority, with a public hearing anticipated in February 2016 before the Brockton City Council, as part of the formal review and approval process.

Consistency with Prior Public Planning Efforts This URP takes into account and is fully consistent with prior public planning efforts relative to Downtown Brockton, including those cited below.
City of Brockton Development Planning: Downtown Report, 2011
McCabe Enterprises Team. October 2011.
10. Develop additional implementation tools for downtown revitalization. The ability for the City through its local redevelopment authority to acquire properties and enter into negotiated sales with performance criteria to implement the vision of a revitalized Downtown Brockton is needed. This authority comes from Chapter 121B, and requires the preparation of an urban renewal plan. The body of studies for Downtown Brockton undertaken over the past twenty-five years contains many of the elements of an urban renewal plan for downtown Brockton. This work should be re-organized and supplemented to produce an urban renewal plan that is adopted by the City and approved by the Commonwealth. The urban renewal plan provides critical redevelopment tools that can foster redevelopment as successfully used by the cities of Lowell and Quincy in transforming their downtowns. This process requires public consultation and engagement of stakeholders. Moreover, the urban renewal plan provides a long-term framework for action, as well as a business plan.
The City should explore establishing a District Improvement Financing (DIF) district in downtown to capture a portion of the new net increase of real estate tax revenues so that they can be reinvested in necessary infrastructure and spur the redevelopment pipeline. Several Massachusetts cities are using DIF in conjunction with downtown redevelopment and urban renewal, including Quincy, Worcester and Gardner. Recommendations, page 114.
Downtown Brockton Market Study and Policy Recommendations, 2009
Concord Square Planning & Development, Inc. December 2009.
2. Adopt a Downtown Brockton Urban Renewal Plan. For a number of reasons, an Urban Renewal Plan is recommended as the most effective regulatory vehicle to advance a master plan for Downtown Brockton. An Urban Renewal Plan, the adoption of which would require approval both by the City Council and the State DHCD, would be a time-intensive effort. However, the process of its creation could strengthen agreement among various public officials regarding the City’s policy objectives for Downtown Brockton, and upon completion it would significantly enhance the City’s competitiveness for State and Federal funding, and the City’s legal authority to implement the plan.
In particular, an Urban Renewal Plan would offer the City the authority to assemble land as necessary to enhance opportunities for redevelopment and revitalization. The enabling legislation that created Brockton’s 21st Century provides that entity with many powers of a Redevelopment Authority – including for example issuing bonds, making

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 57 of 72
loans to develop business activities, and acquisition or construction of commercial properties – but eminent domain is not one of them. Whether or not the City elects to pursue eminent domain as part of this strategy is of course the City’s option;; it is a powerful exercise of public authority and should not – and in fact cannot – be undertaken lightly. But it is a powerful option, and should likewise not lightly be left out of the toolbox available to City leaders. Whether and under what circumstances to consider land assembly, through eminent domain or through negotiated sale, would be agreed upon within the process of preparing an Urban Renewal Plan.
It is understood that the Brockton Redevelopment Authority Board does not meet regularly and no longer has any staff or funding. If the City does undertake to create an Urban Renewal Plan, it is recommended that this effort be led by an empowered Redevelopment Authority. As discussed further later in this report, this could take place either through direct staffing, or through dedicated staffing provided by an existing organization such as Brockton’s 21st Century. Policy Recommendations, page 54.
Plan Brockton 2008
The Plan Brockton 2008 effort, a City-wide initiative supported by the Boston Society of Architects and a broad array of professional planners on a pro bono basis, included the following Goals and Objectives, each of which will be advanced by this URP:
Utilize available land, including redevelopment of underutilized City-owned land, to spur initial pilot project development that includes large-scale housing projects with compatible ancillary services such as grocery stores, laundromats and pharmacies. (pg. 3)
Identify underutilized publicly-owned industrial buildings and sites that may be renovated as artists’ lofts or live- work spaces, and implement a public disposition process to facilitate redevelopment. (pg. 3)
Use residential development as a catalyst for increased commercial activity in the downtown and other mixed-use districts, and connect to new and existing open spaces. (pg. 7)
Support and bolster downtown residential projects to encourage more downtown population and the pedestrian activity and economic vitality that results from population density. (pg. 7)
Strive to become a pedestrian friendly downtown recognizing the importance of a holistic transportation strategy that improves access to and from the downtown for all modes, including cars. (pg. 9)
Target and encourage redevelopment of inner-city brownfield or vacant/underutilized sites while employing environmentally sensitive development techniques. (pg. 11)
Promote mixed use development and Transportation Oriented Development as primary leverage for sustainability. (pg. 11)

Regional Land Use Planning
The proposed URP will also support the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) goal of promoting Transit Oriented Development. The CEDS is prepared for the Economic Development Administration by the Old Colony Planning Council. Implementation of the URP will advance the alternative development patterns of Transit Oriented Development (TOD), Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND), and Compact, Mixed-Use Development identified and encouraged in the Old Colony Planning Council Regional Land Use and Transportation Policy Plan, dated October 20, 2000. It will also advance regional planning priorities set forth in the Old Colony Planning Council's Regional Policy Plan: A Guide for Shaping Our Communities and the OCPC Region (October 2000).That plan calls for identification of "priority development areas whose combination of land, infrastructure and services, accessibility, and amenities suit them to accommodate a significant portion of the region's anticipated growth.” Within those priority development areas, communities are encouraged to facilitate "compact, mixed-use community centers designed to allow convenient pedestrian, bicycle and transit movement...offering a range of housing choices...and a mix of business, commercial, civic, and cultural uses along with systems of parks, open space, and natural resource areas. (pg. 7).

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 59 of 72
Conformance with Commonwealth Sustainable Development Principles The development described in this URP supports the Commonwealth’s sustainable development principles.
Principle 1 – Concentrate Development and Mix Uses
Implementation of this URP will conform to the first principle of “Concentrate Development and Mix Uses” as it represents a concentration of mixed use development in a downtown and encourages reuse and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, such as public transit, roadway and utility infrastructure, rather than the construction of new infrastructure in undeveloped areas.
Principle 2 – Advance Equity
Implementation of this URP supports the second principle “Advance Equity.” The neighborhoods adjacent to the Urban Renewal District that benefit from the Plan and its associated Public Infrastructure Improvements are Environmental Justice communities and home to significant low income and minority populations. Providing resources to these communities is one of the objectives defined in the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Policy on Environmental Justice. Housing to be constructed pursuant to this URP will include affordable housing that, because it will be permitted under the 40R Ordinance, will be subject to affirmative fair marketing procedures based on standards practice and policies of the Brockton Housing Authority.
Principle 3 – Make Efficient Decisions
Implementation of this URP supports the third principle to make efficient decisions in accordance with smart growth and environmental stewardship by its concentration of residential and mixed-use development adjacent to the Brockton Downtown Train Station and near the Brockton Area Transit (BAT) hub, allowing residents to easily use mass transit.
Principle 4 – Protect Land and Ecosystems
Implementation of this URP would indirectly protect land and ecosystems by redeveloping an existing urban area rather than the construction of new infrastructure in undeveloped areas. Moreover the required design standards for the 40R District which encompass most of the Urban Renewal District mandates the use of energy efficient design during construction.
Principle 5 – Use Natural Resources Wisely
Implementation of this URP would use natural resources wisely, the fifth principle. The District location is an urbanized area, minimizing transportation energy use by promoting mass transit. This URP will creates pedestrian friendly districts and neighborhoods that mix commercial, civic, cultural, educational, and recreational activities with open spaces

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 60 of 72
and homes. The commercial development that will follow the successful implementation of this URP will enable local residents to easily walk for their amenities instead of having to use their automobile.
Principle 6 – Expand Housing Opportunities
Implementation of this URP would support expanded housing opportunities as it includes construction of hundreds of units of new housing to meet the needs of people of a wide range of abilities, income levels and household types. Development pursuant to this URP will provide a mix of rental and condominium housing options including affordable housing units due to the nature of the project financing.
Principle 7 – Expand Transportation Choice
Implementation of this URP would provide transportation choice, the seventh principle, as it is located near the Brockton commuter rail station and the Brockton Area Intermodal Station, thereby supporting rail and bus as transportation alternatives for an increased number of residents.
Principle 8 – Increase Job and Business Opportunities
Upon completion of the planned development projects, approximately ____ permanent new jobs will be created, and additional construction jobs will be needed for the new construction and infrastructure projects identified herein. In addition, the Restaurant Incubator project promotes economic development in that industry cluster, and helps train entrepreneurs for participation in the downtown marketplace, creating job opportunities and increasing the availability of downtown amenities.
Principle 9 – Promote Clean Energy
Implementation of this URP would support the ninth principle, promote clean energy, by the nature of the development proposed in the Urban Core, near mass transit opportunities. In addition the required Design Standards for the 40R District which encompasses most of the Urban Renewal District requires the use of energy efficient design during construction. These Design Standards are attached in Appendix E.
Principle 10 – Plan Regionally
This URP evolves from and is consistent with several previous plans that were the product of substantial public involvement. The proposed development is fully consistent with “smart growth” and sustainable development principles advocated at every level of government. This URP exemplifies the BRA’s commitment to achieving a development outcome in Brockton that will result in substantial long-term benefits to the City of Brockton, to serve as a model of transit-oriented urban redevelopment.

12.02 (6) Site Preparation The Downtown Brockton URP project boundary comprises approximately 65.8 acres in a developed area located in the downtown center of Brockton. As shown in Map A-2 of Section 12.02(2), the Downtown Brockton URP site has very mild topographic changes and no significant topographical features in this densely developed area. The specific urban redevelopment activities to be conducted within the Downtown Brockton URP include property acquisition, commercial relocation, spot clearance, disposition of existing public sites and buildings for rehabilitation or redevelopment, and disposition of land to support the development of significant mixed-use development in this transit-oriented location. The BRA will undertake more extensive site preparation activities that will be necessary to create and market the disposition parcels for the proposed redevelopment projects. Site preparation activities will include the demolition and removal of buildings, the removal of any asbestos and/or lead as required for building demolition activities, site grading and compaction, as necessary. Site grades may be altered slightly to facilitate drainage. There are four sites that appear in the MassDEP “Tier Classified oil and/or hazardous material disposal sites” or “Tier Classified Chapter 21E” sites: RTN Property Proposed for Public Action? 4-0000300 5 North Montello Street Yes 4-0013501 61 Legion Parkway No 4-0013870 42 Pleasant Street Yes 4-0023595 57/59 Legion Parkway

[Discussion to be added re how parcels proposed for public action will be addressed.] The privately owned parcels scheduled for acquisition will be investigated immediately upon acquisition, or prior to acquisition, if permissions can be secured. Hazardous conditions will be addressed in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations. Should these investigations identify any environmental contamination, the funding for any necessary remediation will be provided through adjustments to the market value of affected properties, and offsets to the disposition proceeds will be made to reflect the diminution in value caused by the presence of such contamination. It is known that the MBTA does hold easements on both vehicular ramps at the Police Station site, allowing access to the commuter rail platform from street level. It is understood that any redevelopment of this parcel will require negotiation with MBTA to ensure that their access to the platform is maintained both during and subsequent to redevelopment.

12.02 (7) Public Improvements This Urban Redevelopment Plan proposes several public infrastructure improvements to be undertaken pursuant to this URP including structured parking, roadway, utility, pedestrian, streetscaping, lighting and public parks improvements.
Significant infrastructure improvements are planned for the Urban Redevelopment District under this URP, as illustrated on Map 7-A. Streetscape improvements including roadway reconstruction, lighting and tree planting for Centre Street, Franklin Street, Legion Parkway, Lincoln Street and Montello Street. In addition, a new right of way is proposed to connect Court Street and Petronelli Way to provide access to the new parking garage.
A new parking structure would facilitate the redevelopment of parcels in both private and public ownership.
Public improvements will enhance the pedestrian environment with a focus on access to the MBTA Commuter Rail and neighborhood destinations such as Vicente’s Market, the Brockton Senior Center, the YMCA and the Brockton Public Library.
Downtown Brockton also benefits from recent and ongoing streetscape enhancements that were constructed following prior planning and design work in 2011. Sidewalks, brick pavers, lighting, seating, street trees and an enhanced public park at the corner of Main and Center Streets have all enhanced the pedestrian environment in Downtown Brockton, although more work remains to be done.
Construction of additional Public Infrastructure Improvements is proposed to begin in 2017, and will be phased in coordination with construction of private redevelopment. One funding source identified in this URP is the recent MassWorks award of $1.276M to support downtown streetscape improvements.
The L Street Neighborhood Playground will serve a traditionally underserved neighborhood. All six Census blocks groups within a quarter-mile of the proposed playground are Environmental Justice populations; the property borders a Census block that meets the three criteria Mass GIS mapped in 2010, and had met all four criteria in 2000. One of the goals of the City’s Open Space and Recreation Plan is to “provide ample open space within a short walking distance of those residents in Environmental Justice neighborhoods.” There are no known impediments to the proposed redevelopment such as wetlands, flood plains, hazardous wastes, or soil conditions.

12.02 (8) Relocation (Commitment Statement) The proposed actions of the Downtown Brockton URP will require the acquisition of 19 privately owned parcels totaling slightly under 5.3 acres out of an urban redevelopment area consisting of 65.8 total acres (42.8 acres of taxable parcels i.e. not ROW). The successful implementation of the plan will not involve the relocation of any residential households. Although most of the properties to be acquired are empty, _____ existing businesses would be relocated. As redevelopment moves forward, it is anticipated that new development will provide opportunities for businesses that would be displaced as a result of implementation of this URP. The BRA and the City of Brockton will make every effort to work with displaced businesses to accommodate their relocation within redevelopment. The BRA will prepare a detailed relocation strategy for any property which involves public acquisition of property for redevelopment. The cost of relocation will be estimated based on tenancy, use and market conditions at the time of acquisition. All businesses and residents displaced by public action are entitled to receive relocation assistance and payment under Chapter 79A of the Mass. Gen. Laws. In accordance with the Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) 27.02 and 27.03, which spells out the terms and procedures for assistance and payments, the Brockton Redevelopment Authority will provide fair and equitable treatment to all parties displaced due to the public actions documented in the URP. The relocation plan will be refined and updated as the various project phases are finalized. No displacement will occur until a relocation plan has been finalized and approved by the Bureau of Relocation. The City and the Brockton Redevelopment Authority anticipate designating a point person on staff to serve as the relocation officer to assist with finding alternative sites, review of moving cost estimates, and information regarding relevant zoning issues (or will use a relocation consultant). The City and the BRA acknowledge that each occupant in legal occupancy at the time of the acquisition are entitled to remain on the said property for not less than four months from the date of its receipt of notice to vacate. The City will consult with the Bureau of Relocation in advance of property acquisition to ensure that 760 CMR, Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 79a and 49 CFR Part 24 are met. All affected occupants will be directly notified by the BRA prior to commencement of acquisition. However, in the interim, any inquiries can be directed to Brockton Redevelopment Authority, 50 School Street Unit #2, Brockton MA 02301 or telephone 508-586-3887.

REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 70 of 72
12.02 (11) Citizen Participation This Urban Redevelopment Plan resulted from an extensive public participation process in compliance with 760 CMR 12.02(11). Several public meetings, focus groups, walking tours and individual meetings were held during the preparation of the Action Strategy that formed the basis of this Urban Redevelopment Plan, with significant public input. On August 19 and August 20, 2015, project team leaders including City and BRA officials met with stakeholder focus groups to invite comments about the issues facing the city’s downtown, what they saw as key challenges for the area, and feedback about the focus of the area of study. Representatives of the business community, local government officials, real estate developers and brokers, local educators, representatives of local theater and arts groups, representatives from local social service institutions, local surveyors and engineers, staff from the WB Mason office and area pastors met in a series of focus group meetings over this two day period and gave valuable comments and feedback to guide the development of a draft plan. On July 15 and September 21, 2015, the Brockton Gateway Transformative Development Initiative Group, consisting of community members and business leaders from throughout the City of Brockton met in City Hall to discuss the Action Strategy and the Urban Redevelopment Plan and to identify potential members for a Citizen Advisory Committee to assist with the Urban Redevelopment Plan development. On September 30, 2015, more than 50 residents took part in a planning workshop to review and provide input on the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy. Color flyers were widely distributed to solicit citizen input for this event. The event – which took place from 6:30-8:00pm in the gallery space at 50 Centre Street – opened with a presentation of the core elements of the Action Strategy. To help residents gain a better understanding of the existing conditions, a series of posters were created to highlight current conditions in Brockton, including land-use classifications, land values, and key demographic data on residents of the surrounding community. A poster summarizing key recommendations from previous planning efforts was also created and displayed. A summary report of this design workshop can be found in Appendix B.
Downtown Brockton Urban Redevelopment Plan
REVIEW DRAFT, v.4 of 12/7/2015 71 of 72
On November 4, 2015 the Brockton Redevelopment Authority, after careful consideration of existing conditions and redevelopment options, approved the Urban Redevelopment District boundary and formally expressed the need for an Urban Redevelopment Plan to address the conditions of blight and decay in the Urban Redevelopment District. At the Brockton Downtown Action Strategy Planning Workshop in September, a request for members to serve on the Citizen Action Committee was made. Names of those individuals willing to serve were collected, and submitted to the city for their review. Follow up phone calls were made, and additional residents were contacted by city staff to ensure a diverse and open selection of potential candidates were solicited. On December 2, 2015 – the Brockton Redevelopment Authority, following a review of letters of intent submitted by candidates, named the following individuals to the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) to guide the development and implementation of the Urban Redevelopment Plan: [CAC committee member names and affiliations to be added upon appointment.] The CAC held working meetings on [DATE] and [DATE] to review initial drafts of the Urban Redevelopment Plan and provide comments. Planning Board Public Hearings were held on [DATE] and [DATE] to review the draft Urban Redevelopment Plan, at which residents were invited to comment. Their recommendation was forwarded to City Council, who help public hearings on [DATE] at which the public was invited to comment. It is the intention of the Brockton Redevelopment Authority to continue the meetings of the Citizen Advisory Committee on a monthly or quarterly schedule, depending on the level of activity, as the URP proceeds to implementation. In the Appendix of this document are newspaper articles that document the planning process and public involvement. Prior to submittal to DHCD, insert letters of support from local businesses, civic organizations, City Boards, and community groups.
