REDEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP SERVICES: CREATING A SHARED VISION FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF UPTOWN CLEMSON
The economics of high-density student housing development in the downtown area has created a market where our mixed-use zoning, that allows for residential uses in commercially zoned areas, is resulting in large scale student housing with empty ground floor retail.
In 2019, a moratorium on high density student focused development was passed by Clemson City Council. This initiative was a grassroots community effort to preserve the identity and character of the city. The City Council responded by conducting a study to develop a strategic plan for development. This plan, known as Clemson Next, is intended to guide decisions about development.
One of the recommendations in the plan is to conduct a redevelopment workshop for the area referred to as uptown in the plan. See Map. The Clemson Next process found that this area is of particular importance to the city’s future and any new development or redevelopment must support the vision and values of the City of Clemson while balancing the needs of a diverse group of stakeholders and addressing the complexity of the area.
