APPENDIX B: SCREENSHOTS OF ADAPTIVE REUSE WEBSITES

IN OTHER COMMUNITIES

The following pages include screenshots from three successful adaptive reuse programs: Tuscon,
AZ; Phoenix, AZ; and Los Angeles, CA. Each series of pages, organized by city, illustrate the ease
of finding information about planning an adaptive reuse project, which should be easily accessible
through a Google search as well as a search on the City webpage. For these three programs, a Goo-
gle search brings up multiple links that are helpful in learning more about adaptive reuse. The City
of Denver should consider investing in search engines to ensure information about the program is
raised ot the forefront.

A centralized adaptive reuse page for each community is also available and consolidates information
about the program for business owners, property owners, and the development community. Subse-
quent pages are often linked to the overall adaptive reuse webpage to ensure more detailed informa-
tion about the program or related initiatives is easily accessible. These pages often include graphics
that simplify the process or key information to assist applicants. Some of these pages are shown in
the screenshots that follow.

Recommendations in the Strategy Paper describe the importance of creating a centralized webpage
for Denver’s adaptive reuse program. Studying the webpages included in this appendix provides a
starting point for a new webpage on the City of Denver’s website that hosts an overview and key
information for the program. This tool, in addition to the other recommendations in the strategy
paper, will create a more accessible adaptive reuse program that fosters investment in small business-
es in adaptively reused buildings in the pilot study area.
