New Site Plan from CenterCal for Station Park Development in Farmington

Update (August 23, 2007): The site plan now posted on CenterCal's website no longer includes the logos of prospective tenets. The list of prospective tenets listed below come from a previous version of the site plan.

Update (June 26, 2007): The Davis County Clipper posts a story about Station Park and the new site plan. The City was taken off guard by the new plans.

 

CenterCal Properties has revealed on their website the latest plan for the Station Park commercial development in Farmington Utah. The site plan reveals a new configuration of buildings, stores, and restaurants.

The new site plan seems to cover a smaller footprint than previous plans. Another major change is a "strip mall" look to some of development. Where previously the whole development had a walkable village feel this new site plan has a 50/50 strip mall/village configuration.

Here is a link to the new map. The download may take a while so be patient:

No Strip Mall!

The Station Park site plan has to be one of the worst peices of urban planning I've ever seen. The combination of walkable shops and a strip mall makes for an inconvenient experience and an ugly layout. Shoppers will have to walk through huge parking lots to get from one place to another. Or drive. If the plan goes forward like this, returning shopper numbers will be abysmal. Nobody will want to return to such an inconvenient shopping center. Instead of a walkable, open air shopping experience, we'll now plod through acres of asphault, between cars, slipping on ice, dodging traffic. Nothing upscale about that. CenterCal blew it with this latest plan. Farmington City will blow it if they approve it.
