The Department of Tourism, Culture, and Economic Development hosted a North Beach charrette to engage residents around the future use of the Byron Carlyle Theater. The North Beach Master Plan identified the Byron Carlyle as a catalytic site for mixed-use redevelopment highlighting this site as a key component in creating the Town Center vision. The community presentation included a brief background and history to the North Beach Master Plan and subsequent actions that have since occurred, as directed by the City Commission. Participants were invited to use sticky notes to share their individual ideas as to what the future use of the Byron Carlyle site could be. Staff presented five central themes to engage around, as outlined in the Master Plan recommendations: 21st Century Library, Economic Incubator, Civic/Education, Cultural Arts, and "What Else.. For the discussion around the creation of a 21st Century Library, the potential sites included the Byron Carlyle Theater or utilizing the 72nd municipal parking lot. Please find attached an aggregated list of the ideas put forth from the charrette. As directed by Commission, staff will create an RFLI based upon the Master Plan recommendations and the community feedback to solicit development ideas from the private market.
